"Incredible customer service throughout the entire experience.  I've never had anything upholstered before, and it was such a pleasant experience.  Variety of fabric selections at the store.  Chairs were reupholstered with new Sunbrella fabric and are so much more comfortable than before.  Will definitely recommend to friends and family, and we'll definitely use them again in the future!

"Larry's Custom Furniture was recommended many times over on my area's Nextdoor website, so I began to research what I might have done before I called to get an estimate. I purchased a sofa and 3 arm chairs (used but high end) and wanted to get an assessment of their current shape and potential. Larry himself made a house call, tested them out, answered my questions, and brought books of fabric swatches. It became clear I could go any number of ways with fabric type, color, slipcovers or upholstered, self-purchase fabric or utilize Larry's fabric suppliers. After a very deep dive down the rabbit hole of fabric; types, durability, online sourcing to a person NOT in the trade, varied quality of materials...(this took me 8 months) I ventured back to Larry's workshop armed with even more questions. Plus, the additional mitigating factor that now I had adopted a stray CAT (!). Larry gave me practical advice about colors (CA sun) and loopy, open weave fabrics (cats just looooove those)....and so I settled on slipcovers. Then I set out to find good quality/washable/tightly woven durable cotton in colors/patterns I could live with. I never gave up and Larry answered my every question patiently, taking time to go over my choices with me when I popped into his shop unannounced. He was my Upholstery Guru and I learned sooooo much that my friends grew weary of me talking furniture construction, down vs fiber and foam fill, fabric designers and mills, and an overall knowledge and provenance of where furniture actually comes from and the debate over new vs. vintage. It was quite the journey. I was not on a strict timeline, so if Larry got a big custom job, I was fine to wait. But when I landed a 6 month job in NYC he managed to deliver all my furniture before I departed and it was beautiful, I loved the seeming miracle of how it all came together and fit into my vision, with the craftsmanship and skills evident in all aspects of the work. I went on to also have my new dining room chairs slipcovered and springs replaced. Beautiful and practical, for life with a cat. Larry never tried to upsell me nor make inflated promises on when I could expect delivery. SO... if you are impatient, or have specific time constraint expectations, maybe this is not for you. It all can depend on the ebb and flow of business and there are times where he gets bombarded trying to fulfill multiple orders, fill the desperate pre-Holiday requests, and a lot of other scenarios. That happens when someone is worth the wait and why he has many longtime and very satisfied repeat customers. Count me among those."

"The final project came out great. The upholstery looked beautiful but the chairs came back all scratched. Like during transport they were not careful. That is not good customer service. They need to treat the merchandise with more care. It also took a long time but besides that it was fine. Thank you."

His price was well within my budget, In spite of time off for Christmas and New Years holidays, He finished re-upholstering all four pieces within 31 days! They are lovely and much better than new."

"Nancy responded IMMEDIATELY upon seeing my post. A face-to face meeting followed shortly afterward, where she arrived with a grocery cart filled with fabric samples !! There was SO much to choose from! Once the fabric was selected, the loveseat was collected promptly and within little more than a week, returned to me—like new! Very nice attention to all the detail associated with upholstering."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

Regular vacuuming, spot cleaning, and protecting surfaces from sun exposure prevents wear and fading, preserving longevity.

You can make your dining room look more expensive using one or more of several methods. If you're remodeling, you can consider raising the ceiling height, installing an elegant chandelier, or redoing the floor. For smaller renovations, consider changing the paint color to a deep and rich tone, such as burgundy or emerald. You can also swap out the table and chairs to achieve a richer appearance. 

It is generally worth repairing leather furniture rather than replacing it, as it is typically more affordable and the material tends to retain its value. A typical repair averages around $250, which is significantly less than the thousands of dollars a replacement could cost. Even a full reupholstering, which can cost up to $4,000, may still be more economical than buying new. With proper care, repaired leather furniture can last for many years, making the investment worthwhile. However, if the underlying structure or frame of the furniture is damaged or malfunctioning, replacement might be a better option. The quality of the leather and the furniture piece are also important factors. For a definitive answer, it is best to consult a leather repair professional to assess your specific situation.

The time required to reupholster furniture depends on the item's size, complexity, and condition. The hands-on work can range from 2-3 hours for a simple dining chair to 10 to 20 hours for a large sofa. The total project timeline with a professional, including fabric sourcing and scheduling, typically ranges from one to three weeks.

Several factors can affect the timeline. Antique furniture often takes longer due to the delicate care required. If additional repairs are needed, such as sanding or refinishing wood components, the process will also take more time. A DIY reupholstery project will usually take significantly longer than a professional job.

It is often worthwhile to refinish or restore furniture, especially for high-quality, older, antique, or sentimental pieces. Older furniture tends to have better durability than modern, mass-produced items, and refinishing can cost about one-third of the price of replacement. To determine if it's cost-effective, compare quotes from local refinishing services with the price of a new, similar piece. Refinishing can refresh a piece's look and extend its lifespan. However, it may not be worth it for newer furniture made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or plywood, or for items with major structural damage. A professional can help you assess the piece and decide on the best course of action.
