"Working with Yvonne and Carl was one of the best experiences I had interfacing with any decorating/furniture service provider, full stop. They did such a good job upholstering the cushions in my couch that I had them return to do the pillows as well. Yvonne is really thoughtful, responsive, and professional when it comes to her work. She takes pride in the craft, was able to identify exactly what was causing discomfort when sitting on my couch, told me what she would do to address it, and delivered on her promise and then some. I would highly reccommend for any of the services they offer :)"
"Coverage on gouged bedroom dresser was good. Build-up on the other small table was good, color good, just a little uneven. Had requested a small chest to be finished but cost was prohibitive so I left it undone."
"Everything came out terrific. Great work, fair pricing. I had a carpet cleaned as well as some upholstery. I will continue to use them whenever I need their services"
"My experience was phenomenal. Professional, courteous, and amazing work. My couch was looking a little funky and wanted to remove the holiday spirit and the everyday traffic to keep the integrity of the couch for years to come. Dave came and did his thing and my couch looked great and smells phenomenal! Easy and great experience will use again!"
"Great experience! Gentlemen were professional, polite and thorough. Explained everything and were more than helpful! I will recommend to anyone needing this type of work. Now that my sofa and carpets look brand new, I think I need the place painted! Thanks so much!"
"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!"
I started as a helper in a friend's business. Over time I recognized my own expertise and went into business for myself. I guarantee my work: if a stain comes back, I come back and re-treat the area for free, no charge. The supplies I use are pet-friendly, child-friendly. I offer green options for a slight premium for those who prefer. Attention to detail and communication with my customer is something that we start with in order to assure a satisfactory and complete finish.

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.
Upholstery reduces waste sent to landfills, limits resource consumption, and supports sustainable living practices, provided fabrics meet standards.
Costs depend on fabric choice, furniture size, cushioning, and labor. For significant projects, expect estimates between $350 and $1,200.
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.
It is possible to reupholster directly over old material in some cases, and it can save you a bit of money. If you are going to go this route, make sure you use a darker color than you had previously. Otherwise, you might see the old fabric beneath the new material. You should also keep in mind that reupholstering over old material is only possible with certain materials. For example, reupholstering over leather usually isn’t possible. You can ask your professional to see if this is an option for your piece.
