Bill came to my home to re-attach buttons to my sofa- excellent job! Then he went to my daughterâ s to do the same. Bill was very pleasant, and I would definitely call him again. Thank you, Bill!!

Mr. Butler is so patient and accommodating. I have gotten to the point of asking him what he thinks on all upholstery issues and his recommendations are always much better than I expected. Love his work!

Great job. We’re very accommodating and got the job done before time. They were also very helpful in figuring out a pick up of my couch because I was having a problem dropping it off. Recommend them highly!

Bill did an excellent job re-cushioning our kitchen chairs. He was able to work them into his schedule at a busy time and stayed in touch to let us know when we would be able to pick them up.

Bill did an excellent job reupholstering a cherry-framed sofa. He replaced a single seat the length of the sofa with three easily reversible cushions. He is a skilled craftsman, prompt and pleasant.

Nice quality. I had to deliver and pickup myself. Some drama regarding initial estimate and response, but quality was great.

Jim is a meticulous guy and his work is gorgeous. He is a craftsman. He not does high quality work but will suggest alternative fabrics for the job which in our case saved some money. I was also impressed that he evaluated the furniture right up front as to its suitability for reupholstering. His assessment assured me that the investment in recovering the furniture was solid. I'd call him in a minute for another project.

James is a second generation upholsterer. He's honest, knowledgeable, helpful and skilled. The fabric I used on my two vintage chairs was gorgeous and well priced and purchased at Fabric Showplace in Watertown. The female staff there were very helpful and patient. I contacted Fabric Showplace for a quote for re-upholstering the two chairs but the guy who does it is arrogant, self-involved and clearly and most definately NOT customer service oriented at all! It was an immediate turnoff. Thank goodness for James at E.C. Butler. The chairs were delivered on time and really well done.
