"Ned did a great job! We needed all the hinges on our kitchen cabinets replaced. He found the proper hinges and installed all 28 in the afternoon. He arrived on time and was very pleasant to have around and knowledgeable about the job. He is multi talented, fairly priced, and left the area tidy when he was done. We decided to hire him for some additional jobs we needed done! Great guy!"

"Kollin is efficient and will get the job done—no matter what. He removed carpet adhesive from my new house to restore the original hardwood floors, and it looks like it’s brand new."

"I was very impressed with this service provider, would use them again, and recommend them highly. I originally contacted them online and received prompt and courteous responses. They showed up on time, took their time with my job, were very attentive to detail, worked hard, and were polite and professional. There were no hidden costs--they vacuumed, spot treated, etc. as part of the regular service. I am very pleased!

"I feel extremely fortunate to have found Vicki through Angie's List !  She is an extremely talented person who is very easy to deal with. She has a breath of knowledge that allows her to accommodate my tastes, but also ensure that the overall design is in sync with the design and location of my home.  She has  a very diplomatic way of suggesting when I'm going astray with my choices and in every case where she has told me "Trust Me"  I have been delighted ! She is very aggressive in helping me find the best pricing and often times will work with the vendors directly  hence saving me the time.  She also has excellent local contacts.  Everyone I've worked with through Vicki has been timely, professional, and highly competent.
My project is far from complete.  I intend to continue to use Vicki and her expert advice until the end !!!!"

"Great service and very timely! Part of our basement flooded and they arrived shortly after we called. The two gentlemen helped us finish moving a few things, got the water out, dried the couple of rugs we have and got fans running. Extremely professional and thorough! Thank you Stanley Steemer"

"They did a great job, very professional. Got me in right away-even on a Sunday! I was really impressed by that. When I was concerned that it was going to stay damp too long they put 2 of their heavy duty driers in different places even though they assured me it would be dry in 4-5 hours. So their customer service is great. The only thing that I didn't like was they didn't take credit cards."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

Doing your own upholstery work is possible, but it’s typically a better idea to leave the work to professionals. Without experience and the proper tools, it’s difficult to get a professionally finished appearance for your furniture, and many DIYers end up spending money on tools and materials only to hire a professional when they can’t get the fabric to look right. If you have reupholstery experience, feel free to give it a shot. However, if you’re not confident in your skill level or you’re working with antiques, it’s worth the money to hire a pro.

The average cost to reupholster a piece of furniture is around $720, with most projects falling in the $380 to $1,150 range. The final price can vary significantly based on several factors. These include the size and complexity of the furniture, the cost of the new fabric (which typically ranges from $50 to $70 per yard), and hourly labor rates (often $40 to $100 per hour). Additional factors that influence the price are the piece's current condition, its age, whether it needs other repairs, the number of pieces being reupholstered, and your geographic location.

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.

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.
