They also redid another found chair, this one a slipper chair that had been beat up beyond recognition and torn apart. They did a herculean job of putting the guts of the chair back in and added padding while keeping the original horse hair and vintage padding. The end result is a beauty of a chair. Again, I provided my own fabric (men's suit fabric) and I will use them again. If you provide your own fabric, please be aware that you will need extra to make sure they can do the job right. They also have a huge selection of fabric to choose from.

I took the chair to Yi's and were amazed at the selection of fabric. I already had fabric (from Calico Corner - not cheap), but chose one of their's instead because it was so much nicer. They not only upholstered my chair, but they also went ahead and fixed the chair to improve stability. I really appreciated that extra service which they did not charge. The price at $500 was hard to beat. The chair came out beautifully and is now a focal point in our house. No wonder Yi's is rated very highly. I would definitely go there again!

(Actually it's a lot of work to do this--but doing it right increases the success of the project). They arrived on time. Very helpful--when they were lifting the dining room table to roll up that 9x12 (or larger) rug, they discovered that the table top was resting on but no longer attached to the pedestal legs. They were really careful with this table. The oriental rug cleaning is expensive but easy on the customer--Ayoub comes & rollsup the carpets & then brings them back. Wall-to-wall carpet cleaning requires client/customer to move as much as possible off the carpet & to do a thorough job of vacuuming. The work was done carefully and with no damage to any funiture & no "spraying" on walls or floors. The workmen packed up neatly. They were extremely polite. I just wish I'd found out before they had packed up that they could do upholstered furniture--I'd have had them do those as well. --- When you make an appointment, the people in the office can answer many questions & work w/ you on schedule. I'm pretty sure I asked that they call me 1/2 hour before arriving in case I had to be in the office part of the day. They did that

Two people had recommended them to me. I had to move quickly. At first they were fine. Their problem was that they used subcontractors who were not supervised. Their electrician was great. The floor installers that actually put in the finished floors were good. The floors were beautiful. They had a crazy crew supervised by a man named Eduardo. I called him Eduardo and his merry band of thieves. They stole all my tools and destroyed my cable modem. I moved all my personal belongings and they were supposed to cover my furniture. They covered it with plastic that was thinner than bags from the dry cleaners. If they had told me, I would have bought heavy plastic and done it myself. One night I came home and they had left the second floor window wide open with no screen down or anything. They ruined parts of the new floor. There are gouges in the new floor where they moved stuff that they shouldn't have. I have an antique velvet settee and they put heavy metal stuff on it so it has a few holes in it. I had to get all the upholstered furniture cleaned. They got paint all over everything. The painting had to be done 3 times. I evicted Eduardo from the basement and then from the upstairs. The owners had to come and finish the punch list and it is still not finished. Eduardo ruined my shutters in the bedroom. He lied to me. He told me he took the shutters to a paint store and the paint that was on them wasn't their paint because they were using a water-based paint and the paint on them was an oil-based paint. He said they were cleaning them off out of the goodness of their hearts and that was how the shutters got stained. They didn't paint right and they didn't put tape down. Aaron Horner, the number two man in the company and the project manager of my rebuild, is no longer with the company, which told me something about the company. He said that they tried to repaint the shutters and they wouldn't take the paint. The two owners promised to buy me new shutters and I still haven't seen the shutters. I called yesterday and a new guy said they were going to paint the shutters when I had been promised new shutters. They are just bad. They stole all my tools. The only thing they left was a hammer that the dog had chewed on the handle. I've only been back in the house for six weeks and they started the work in July. The insurance company paid $30,000 so it was not a small amount of money. It was complete frustration. The good work that they did got overwhelmed with the bad. The price was reasonable. Eduardo put in subfloors and painted and he was lousy. The electrician and actual floor installers were excellent. Their punctuality was pretty good."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/md/gaithersburg/cook-construction-contracting-reviews-6348415.htm"},"position":8}]}

"The upholstery work completed by Mr. Brathwaite and his team was beautiful and professionally completed. He has an eye for accent pieces and suggested some lumbar support pillows for my chairs, done in a complimentary fabric, which are not only pretty but very comfortable. Excellent outcome!"

FAQs for upholstering projects in Colesville, MD
As with any project, weighing the pros and cons of upholstery can help determine if that is the right choice for you. The ultimate question is whether it’s worth reupholstering instead of buying new furniture. Here are a few of the benefits and disadvantages of reupholstering a piece of furniture.
Pros:
Preserving a family heirloom
Maintaining high-quality furniture in good condition
Reinventing an old piece of furniture
Keeping a piece of furniture from going to a landfill
Cons:
Spending (possibly) more than to buy a new piece of furniture
Finding out the frame is beyond repair
Waiting for the reupholstery work to be done
It can be cheaper to reupholster a chair or other piece of furniture than to buy a new one, depending on how much it costs to replace. If the chair or couch originally cost less than $300, then reupholstery may not be the cheapest option. However, if the chair is expensive, vintage, or discontinued, reupholstery can be the more affordable option. This is especially true if the piece of furniture is out-of-production or holds sentimental value.
Paying to reupholster a piece of furniture means you want to hire the right upholstery service, especially for a piece that’s expensive or carries a lot of sentimental value. In your search for the right upholstery company, be sure to:
Ask around to see if friends or family know of any upholsterers
Find reviews of the company or individual
Look at the photo gallery of their work to see if they work on furniture like yours and if you like their work
Check qualifications and references
Ask the upholstery service if they work on furniture like yours, what their schedule looks like, how they handle payments, and how long the job will take
On average, the cost to reupholster furniture is about $720 per piece. However the price range to upholster a piece of furniture varies widely from about $380 to $1,150 or more, depending on the material type and availability, repairs needed, and the complexity of the project. Fabric costs typically range from $50 to $70 per yard while the cost of labor runs from $40 to $100 per hour.
