"Extremely well. I live a distance from my rental property, and I felt comfortable working with Marc by phone sending me before and after photos of the work he did. I found Marc to be honest, caring, easy to work with, reliable, dependable, and reasonable in price. My tenants and I are very satisfied with his work, and would not hesitate to hire him again."

"Tabitha had a poor crew working for her. Once she fired the crew and hired new workers, the punctuality improved to an A. The overall painting was excellent. Tabitha and her crew filled all nail holes, cracks and had to repair a few areas that had water damage. This was done to perfection. She and her workers did an outstanding job with the clean up and how they left the house. We will definitely hire her again"

"It is a waste of money. The great majority of people are not going to find any value out of the service. If you need design consultation, you need a full service consultation. If you already have knowledge and experience, and you just need to get a few ideas, then you don't need to pay for that. You can just get a magazine or a book since you already have the knowledge of basic designs in your head or a little bit of experience. To have someone call you and give you information over the phone, you are not getting the personal service that you need. You may as well take the money $49 and apply it to something else like getting someone else to come out and give you the service that you need. Because, you are not getting much, you are not getting anything at all. They are going to have you do the work. After talking to them and I was talking to other home designers, I found out that that was a waste of time and waste of money. I gave them a C because they didn't fail at what they do but they don't offer any value for what they do. There's not much value to it. The cost was fair. They didn't do a terrible job and the cost isn't terrible, it was only $49. It just has a very low value. For responsiveness I gave them a B because they will answer your phone and answer your emails."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

In Decatur, older homes often feature narrow doorways, winding staircases, and low basement ceilings, which can make moving large furniture for reupholstery difficult. If you live in a historic district, modifying built-in furniture may be restricted. For smaller rooms, consider in-place upholstery services. Measuring all access points before starting any furniture restoration project helps prevent delays and ensures a smoother process.

Helpful?

New homeowners in Decatur should prioritize reupholstering dining chairs, as they’re central to daily use and gatherings. Next, focus on living room sofas or sectionals, which endure heavy wear during colder months. If you have a sunroom or porch, updating outdoor cushions with weather-resistant fabrics is wise. Breakfast nooks and window seats in ranch-style homes also benefit from early attention due to frequent use.

Helpful?

Common mistakes in Decatur include neglecting humidity control, which can damage upholstery fabrics, and attempting complex reupholstery on antique furniture without proper expertise. Choosing materials unsuited for local climate, failing to measure doorways for furniture removal, and overlooking hidden repairs are frequent pitfalls. Consulting a professional and planning for seasonal conditions can help ensure your furniture restoration project goes smoothly.

Helpful?

In Decatur, sunroom and porch furniture often require frequent reupholstery due to UV exposure and temperature swings. Kitchen banquettes and family room recliners wear out quickly from daily use, especially during long winters. Basement furniture may need moisture-resistant materials, while bedroom benches and accent chairs are commonly overlooked but benefit from periodic upholstery updates to maintain comfort and appearance.

Helpful?

Decatur’s humid summers can cause fabric stretching and increase the risk of mold, while dry winters may lead to cracking or shrinking of upholstery materials. Fluctuating temperatures can weaken adhesive and joints in furniture. To extend the life of your reupholstered pieces, select moisture-resistant fabrics and schedule projects for late spring or early fall, when weather conditions are most stable for furniture restoration.
