III. COMPLIANCE

TB117-2013, Class A fabrics, signed NDAs.

Commercial fabrics meet TB117-2013 (Cal 117) cigarette-resistance and Class A flame-spread requirements. We source from Maharam, Designtex, Momentum, Architex, and Knoll Textiles for contract-grade work. Foam is fire-rated polyurethane (Cal 133 where required for hospitality). All federal-, state-, and ADA-compliance documentation is provided in the project file. NDAs are signed up-front for clients who require them — diplomatic, hospitality executive, private-club, and journalism clients receive that as default.

IV. STAGING & LOGISTICS

After-hours, in batches, without closing the venue.

We work the schedule the venue needs. Restaurants: pickup after close, drop-off before service the next day for booth seats and bar stools. Hotels: floor-by-floor or wing-by-wing, batched to avoid blocking guest rooms. Private clubs: scheduled around member events, with discrete loading from service entrances. Retail: overnight or pre-opening. Corporate: weekends or after-hours when offices are unoccupied. White-glove transport, blanket-wrapped, photographed in and out.

Bergerie commercial loading bay at night during after-hours staging — row of seven blanket-wrapped restaurant booth-benches lined up on quilted moving pads tagged with hand-tied jute, pair of wrapped hotel headboards on a wooden cargo dolly, blanket-wrapped private-club Chesterfield and library chairs staged for service-entrance loading, open roll-up door onto a rain-wet brick alley with a Federal streetlamp

V. PRICING & CONTRACTS

Volume pricing. Maintenance retainers available.

Commercial pricing is structured on volume — per-piece rates drop substantially on batch orders (10+ identical pieces) and on multi-vertical refurbishment programs. Multi-year maintenance retainers are available for venues with rotating refurbishment cycles (booth seating typically 5 to 7 years, club chairs 7 to 10). The principal contact for commercial bids is Jose Rugerio at jarugerio@bergerieupholstery.com.

Frequently asked

Do you handle TB117 / Cal 117 compliance documentation?

Yes. Every commercial project is documented with the fabric mill's flame-test certification (TB117-2013 / Cal 117 cigarette resistance, plus Class A or B per ASTM E84 flame-spread where required) and the foam manufacturer's Cal 133 documentation for hospitality. Documentation is provided in the project file at delivery and again on request for any inspection.

Can you work overnight or on weekends so we don't close?

Yes. Restaurants and bars: pickup after close, return before service. Hotels: scheduled around occupancy with floor-by-floor staging. Private clubs: outside member-event hours, with discrete service-entrance loading. Retail: overnight or pre-opening. Corporate: weekends or evenings. The schedule is built into the project plan up-front.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes — NDAs are signed up-front for any client who requires them. This is the default for diplomatic, hospitality executive, private-club, journalism, and high-net-worth residential clients. Subcontractors involved in pickup, transport, and install are bound by the same terms.

What contract-grade fabric houses do you carry?

Maharam, Designtex, Momentum, Architex, and Knoll Textiles for contract upholstery. Sina Pearson and HBF Textiles for hospitality. Fabricut and Robert Allen Contract for hotel-grade soft goods. Trade reps know us; samples can be pulled from the workshop fabric library by the project designer or directly to the venue.

Do you do batch / volume pricing?

Yes. Per-piece rates drop substantially on batch orders. Common breakpoints: 10+ identical pieces (booth seats, bar stools, dining chairs), 25+ pieces, and 50+. Multi-vertical refurbishment programs (e.g., a hotel doing lobby + ballroom + guest-room headboards in one cycle) qualify for program pricing across the whole package.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance retainers?

Yes — for venues with predictable refurbishment cycles. Restaurants: booth-seat refresh every 5 to 7 years on a rolling schedule. Private clubs: library and member-room chair work as wear shows. Hotels: room-block headboards on the FF&E refresh cycle. Retainer pricing is fixed for the contract term and prioritized in our schedule.
