Their work was great. They stripped the chair and ottoman down to the frames and completely rebuilt the springs and padding, as well as recovering both. Elaine was great at recommending fabrics (and they have tons of different ones) and guided us to one we love. High quality, practical, made in America and beautiful. The chair is a family heirloom of 60-70 years. Now it is better than ever. And better than anything we saw in furniture stores. It looks and feels great! This was not cheap in any sense. We paid a reasonable price for truly outstanding work. We will have Howard's do our next upholstery job.

The lady (Elaine) who helped me was extremely conscientious and paid attention to all my requirements. Her suggestions for fabric and shape were insightful. We've been using these cushions for several months and have been delighted on how well they fit. For example, the bar stool cushions don't slide which is great since I have kids getting on and off them!

From the beginning, my roommate and I were treated very well. We brought a chair cushion and pictures of the chair. The decorator helped us pick out fabrics (not her fault that we have expensive tastes). We purchased the fabric and because it was mid December, we were told that if we were willing to wait until after the holidays they would pick up the chair and return it during the same week.) The chair was picked up on Monday morning, Jan. 9th and returned on Friday morning, Jan. 13. Their work is impeccable. It is a beautiful, very comfortable piece of furniture. When you look at the picture of the chair you will be able to see how beautifully the pattern lines up, which does contribute to both the cost of the material and the construction, but well worth it. The experience with the company is very positive. I would recommend them to anyone who loves good furniture.

They did a beautiful job, and we are again, very pleased!  It is best to make an appointment because Elaine is very experienced in fabric and can help you find what is best.  The price included pick up, making arm covers, Scotchguarding afterwards, and delivery.  They also repaired 1 dining room chair for $120.  Be sure to mention Angie's List and they will give you a discount.  
We preferred having the wing chairs redone so we could select exactly the kind/color of fabric we wanted, and it was a wise decision!
The new furniture sold now is not as well built as the older, solid hardwood framed upholstered ones. The price varies by the quality and price of the fabric that is chosen.

Response from Howard's Custom Upholstery
"Yes, many times we have recommendations, but some customers prefer a plusher feel from the beginning. Concerning cushions, we recommend that they be a little firmer than the customer may like; as they get used, they "break in" and get softer. [member name removed] - Bring one of your cushions in to the shop. We should be able to correct the problem. Please call first to make sure I'm here for you. Thanks for the review! - Tavy Guzman at Howard's Custom Upholstery"

The work was excellent. He finished it on schedule. They were courteous and helpful in picking out the fabric and with recommendations and guiding us. When they started out to do the reupholstery they weren't satisfied with the way it was turning out. So they called us and had us come down and pick a different kind of fabric.

Great !

Elaine was professional and wonderful to work with.  She kept her promise to have my items done on a specific date. Howard's prices were comparable, even a little cheaper than other upholstery companies I have used in the past.  Their quality of workmanship was excellent.  I would highly recommend them.

Very well. They were very professional, made suggestions and provided a great solution to a problem we were having with the old material on the couch.

A bit more than I wanted to spend on them but in the end they look better than any thing I could have purchased for the price and we really appreciated that they are more concerned with quality than price when it come to the material that they use.

They were easy to deal with and responsive to requests and concerns.  It took a bit longer than expected to order the material and from pick-up to delivery.  But I am very pleased with the outcome.  It's quality work.

"WE HAVE NOT DONE WORK FOR THIS CUSTOMER - MR. [removed member name]. WE HAVE NO RECORD OF COMPLETING A JOB FOR HIM ON MARCH 25, 2014. WE HAVE NOT PICKED UP FURNITURE IN APPLE VALLEY, WHICH IS 100 MILES FROM OUR SHOP LOCATION. WE DO NOT CHARGE $1300 FOR UPHOLSTERING A SOFA & LOVESEAT. WE CHARGE MORE. IT'S UNFORTUNATE, BUT MR. [removed member name] HAS REVIEWED THE WRONG COMPANY. FOR A PROPER REFLECTION OF OUR WORK & SERVICE, PLEASE READ THE REST OF THE REVIEWS, THANK YOU - TAVY GUZMAN, OWNER OF HOWARD'S CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY."
