About us

Century Upholstery has grown up with San Diego. It is a family owned business that has been passed down from father to son since 1936. Throughout the years, business has changed but our work has never been better. We have always taken pride in our workmanship,using high quality materials and excellent customer service is what keeps us ahead of our game. Call us today and we will come out FREE of any charges. We will measure your furniture and evaluate the stucture to determine if its worthy to reupholster. Also at that time we'll show you samples of fabrics that will coordinate with your decor. We have over 70 years of knowledge and experience that makes us experts in our field. We specialize in upholstering furniture for your home, office, outdoor patio, and motor homes. Overtime, foam deteriorates; so when reupholstering your furniture it is a good idea to replace your old foam. We offer a wide selection of foam for your furniture, you can choose from ultra soft to ultra firm. You can even decide how thick you prefer the foam to be, depending on the firmness and density you desire. The type of foam we use is a high quality Nimbus foam which differs from a standard poly foam (used by many manufacturers) because it will last you for years to come and does not break down as easily.

I chose Century Upholstery, which did a wonderful job. Ron listened patiently and carefully to my tale of woe, made recommendations which I accepted, and restored my sofa cushions to my complete satisfaction.

Couldn't ask for higher quality and customer service. Communication and upholstery first rate: exemplary.

The work and the service was great. I wish they handed me all my cushions wrapped in plastic. Brand new upholstery and they didn't even protect my cushions. The cushions came out great though. The only issue we had was with the receptionist. Ditzy, kept telling us she'd keep us informed and kept promising to call. We had to keep calling to get the information. She even quoted us over price because she can't multiply /add. We had to point it out to her that we were being overcharged and her math wasn't adding up. She was very polite and cordial though. So maybe math just isn't her strong point. I would just recommend double checking your quote before paying.

Very good customer service. For a reasonable fee they picked up and delivered the furniture and they were also finished a few days before the estimated time frame. Would definitely use they again.

Workmanship was good. They covered with wrong material first time. One employee was unpleasant to work with. We asked for a call back from the manager 2 times, which never happened.

Response from CENTURY UPHOLSTERY

"Hello [Member Name Removed] sorry for your confusion, we never received a email from you. I just went through the server again just to confirm that it wasn't in our spam. I also checked on Angie's list again and I did not see the email there as well. Do you think maybe you may have sent it to the wrong address? I know sometimes the Internet can be tricky thing. It's always best to follow up an email with a phone call if you don't hear response within 24 hours."

Ron came to my home to provide an estimate and to select a fabric for the chairs. He provided me with an excellent estimate which included photographs of the items to be reupholstered and the fabric with pricing by the item. After I made a decision on which jobs I wanted to move forward on, he came to my home and picked up the chairs and piano bench cover. He gave me an approximate completion date which was met and returned the furniture to my home. I am very pleased with the job and how my new chairs look! The work was done in a professional manner and I  look forward to using this firm again when I have additional jobs.

I had four items reupholstered at Century Upholstery;  three of which had been  purchased from Ethan Allen about 35 plus years ago, still in good condition as far as the frame, etc. but of course needing new fabric.  I did check stores for the possibility of purchasing new, but could not find the same couch;  also the price to buy new was way more than it would have cost to have them reupholstered.  I also had a wingback chair which had belonged to my mother.  The approximate cost of $2800 was for reupholstering all four pieces plus the fabric  for the wingback chair;  I supplied the fabric for the couch and two chairs.  
Ron and his crew did a beautiful job;  the quality of the work was excellent and everything looks brand new .  Being able to keep my couch was very important to me as I just could not find another like it.  I spent a lot of time looking thru piles of fabric books with Jaleesa who gave a lot of good advice and suggestions with the color scheme and was very patient when I kept changing my mind.
After  my  furniture was returned to me, my cat, who had just had surgery, urinated on one of the chair cushions. Once again Jaleesa was there for me.  At her suggestion I had the fabric dry cleaned  (instead of replaced as I was going to do) and they redid the cushion and had it back to me in a matter of a couple of days.
Although the original job took a little longer than I had anticipated,  it was understandable because this was around the Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays and they had some big jobs lined up.  However, the wait was well worth it and I would not hesitate to use Century Upholstery again.  I highly recommend  them and would definitely use them, and only them, again.  Thank you  Century Upholstery for a job well done.   I love my ?new? furniture!

Our experience with Century Upholstery was wonderful!  Jaleesa (in the office) and Ron (the owner) were our points of contact and both were very pleasant and professional.  The sofa was picked up from our home on 4/24/2014 and delivered back to us on May 12th, 2014.  Ron promised us a great outcome and he was right.  We appreciated the  speedy estimate and the follow up through out the process.  Everything promised was delivered!  We would definitely use Century Upholstery again--and refer them to others looking for a quality upholstery job.  Ron and Jaleesa both made us confident in our decision to use Century Upholstery and we are very glad that we did.  Their pricing was competitive and the results could not have been better!!  Ron is very personable and made us feel that he really cared about us and our sofa.  It's a joy to meet someone who is passionate about doing a good job for his customers.  Great job, Jaleesa, Ron, and the people who actually worked on our sofa!!

Century took excellent care of my rocking chair and recovered it beautifully, along with the matching foot stool.  They had a wide variety of fabric selections and they helped me select the perfect fabric.  The chair was beautiful before I took it to Century and it is magnificent now.
