"They showed up on time. She told me during the estimate, "The couch is worn in many spots. We can get it clean and remove most of the stains, but only re-upholstering will make it look new." The couch was really dirty, rough looking and stained. It is now clean, virtually unstained, and I am happy with their results. She did not over promise, and I appreciate that."
"The whole experience was great from beginning to end. It was easy to get an appointment. They showed up exactly when they said they would. The repair man fixed a ripped seam on my leather couch and you can't even tell where the rip ever was. Incidentally, I asked him for advice about getting some of the cushions re-stuffed, and he gave me very simple instructions on how to do it myself. He said, I can do it for you, of course - but it will be expensive. And it's simple for you to do it. During the same visit, he also addressed various damage areas on a dresser that's been in our family for a long time. It looks beautiful. I was pleased enough with the service that I have asked for a quote on an additional upholstery job that I have. It's much more extensive - something that will have to be done in the shop vs. an in-home visit. I'll write another review after I go through that experience. But based on my service today I would highly recommend this business.
Update: I went ahead with the additional upholstery job and was - again - highly satisfied. This involved upholstering a victorian chair from 1880. The experience was so easy - they came and picked up the chair. They offered fabric selections, but I was looking for something more specific. I ordered my own, had it delivered to their workshop and they delivered the chair when it was done. The finished product looks absolutely amazing.
I highly recommend this business - they were professional, offered great service, and have talented craftsmen on their staff."
"Mr. Townsend is an absolute professional to work with. He arrived at my residence on time and listened very carefully as to what I needed to have him do. After discussing the desired work, Mr. Townsend set to work cleaning the white bedroom carpeting first, followed by the two upholstered chairs. He's a "one man show" and does his very professionally and meticulously. I couldn't be happier with the results and there was no clean up afterwards! Mr. Townsend is easy to work with, punctual, a fair in pricing. I would definitely call upon him in the future and recommend him to relatives and friends."

DIY upholstery is feasible for simple pieces with the right tools and skills, though intricate jobs typically require professional expertise for the best results.
Furniture made from materials resistant to sun fading includes metals like aluminum, stainless steel, and wrought iron, as well as certain synthetic materials like polyethylene (commonly used in outdoor wicker furniture) and resin-based products. Glass tables and accents are also sun resistant. These materials inherently withstand UV rays and are less prone to fading or discoloration. Furniture with UV-resistant coatings or finishes, such as powder-coated metal or UV-protected plastics, offers enhanced protection against sun-induced fading.
Reupholstering is often worthwhile for high-quality, antique, or sentimental couches, especially if the frame is sturdy. It can cost less than buying a comparable new piece and allows for customization, but may not be cost-effective for low-end furniture.
If your usually super soft couch feels crusty and rough after cleaning, it could be that you haven’t removed the cleaning product properly, you used too much, or you applied the wrong type. Always check the couch tags to select the right cleaning product, read application instructions carefully, and test on an inconspicuous corner. For fabrics such as microfiber, you can soften and fluff crusty fibers using a soft-bristled brush.
Regular vacuuming, spot cleaning, and protecting surfaces from sun exposure prevents wear and fading, preserving longevity.
