"What a great experience. I've never re-upholstered before and did not know what to expect. From the first inquiry, Bernie was helpful and knowledgeable with recommendations on how to best fix dining room chairs. Visit the shop you'll see interesting before/after projects that demonstrate creativity and craftsmanship. Bernie even sent a video explaining the best way to clean the particular fabric I chose. Seriously - this is quality work at a fair price."
"The provider re-padded (2) leather sectionals and did a great job at a great price $125.00 per sectional. They also "refurbished" a 1940's solid cherry wood card table. They covered the scratches with a wood crayon and sprayed it with shellac. It looked a little better but it was not worth the $425.00 they charged."
"All Natural Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning arrived exactly on time and immediately proceeded to set up and explaining their processes and next steps. The completion was timely, and they provided advice on how to better care for my furniture, which led me to add a notice on my calendar for my next appointment. I highly recommend Dexter and his crew and will definitely look forward to working with them, again!"
"The carpets are cleaner than any other company has got them. I took half a star off because when the carpets dried, there was a small circular stain left by where the machine was parked at the end of the service. This was essentially left by dirty water and was easy to remove. They were very pleasant and thorough, and came exactly when they promised."
"Beautifully! Dexter is very professional and polite. He arrived on time and cleaned and put my furniture back as it was. He was able to get my upholstery cleaner than I had hope...it looks like new again! Thank you Dexter!"
"Dave was right on time and responsive when I had some questions. We have a 20-year-old rug that looks great after the cleaning. The process used was wonderful.... didn't leave the rug wet at all."
"He did some renovation in the basement and crown molding for me. He does very neat work, reliable and if I have some things that needs to do I would definitely call him again. He was very good in what he does, offers opinions and he's creative."
Ongoing maintenance of your leather furniture is the only way to prevent it from peeling and cracking. Real leather will peel and crack as it dries out. Leather conditioners are a great way to protect your leather furniture from drying out, and you’ll need to apply it about twice each year. It’s also a good idea to keep abrasive materials away from your leather to prevent cracking and peeling, including belt buckles, shoes, and multi-surface cleaners, especially those that contain alcohol.
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.
The process usually takes 1-2 weeks, and it is highly influenced by the materials, complexity of the project, and any customization desired.
Although it’s not standard, many upholstery professionals offer warranties on their workmanship, typically ranging from six months to several years. However, most warranties don't cover normal wear and tear, damage from spills and other accidents, or problems with the original furniture frame. Before starting your project, be sure to ask about warranty terms, what is covered, and any exclusions.
Reupholstering an old or antique chair can be worthwhile if the frame is still sturdy and the piece has sentimental or monetary value. Reupholstery often costs less than buying a high-quality new chair, and you can customize the look. However, extensive repairs or rare fabrics may increase the total cost.
