"I'm so grateful I came across Vinny, he is truly knowledgeable, capable, flexible, and lovely! Unlike other companies, when I called to get a quote, he asked me for photos of the antique upholstered chair and what type of cleaning I would want, and explained the processes, techniques, and solvents he was going to use. I knew I would be in good hands and I was! He was on time, worked quickly, and gave me updates on how everything was going. And of course, the results speak for themselves!! Highly recommend booking"
"The whole experience was great from beginning to end. It was easy to get an appointment. They showed up exactly when they said they would. The repair man fixed a ripped seam on my leather couch and you can't even tell where the rip ever was. Incidentally, I asked him for advice about getting some of the cushions re-stuffed, and he gave me very simple instructions on how to do it myself. He said, I can do it for you, of course - but it will be expensive. And it's simple for you to do it. During the same visit, he also addressed various damage areas on a dresser that's been in our family for a long time. It looks beautiful. I was pleased enough with the service that I have asked for a quote on an additional upholstery job that I have. It's much more extensive - something that will have to be done in the shop vs. an in-home visit. I'll write another review after I go through that experience. But based on my service today I would highly recommend this business.
Update: I went ahead with the additional upholstery job and was - again - highly satisfied. This involved upholstering a victorian chair from 1880. The experience was so easy - they came and picked up the chair. They offered fabric selections, but I was looking for something more specific. I ordered my own, had it delivered to their workshop and they delivered the chair when it was done. The finished product looks absolutely amazing.
I highly recommend this business - they were professional, offered great service, and have talented craftsmen on their staff."
"I have 2 crewel-work upholstered wing chairs that had faded and had a musty odor. Thomas knew exactly how to treat them to preserve the delicate needlework but still clean them making a very noticeable difference in their appearance. I had him return the following week to clean the carpeting on my stairs and he did an equally excellent job. Very professional and fairly priced."

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.
The best way to test the quality of a leather couch is to put your hands on it. If the upholstery is soft and warm, that’s a good indication that the quality is higher. It should also smell like traditional leather. If it smells like chemicals, you’re probably dealing with low-grade leather.
It is often worthwhile to refinish or restore furniture, especially for high-quality, older, antique, or sentimental pieces. Older furniture tends to have better durability than modern, mass-produced items, and refinishing can cost about one-third of the price of replacement. To determine if it's cost-effective, compare quotes from local refinishing services with the price of a new, similar piece. Refinishing can refresh a piece's look and extend its lifespan. However, it may not be worth it for newer furniture made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or plywood, or for items with major structural damage. A professional can help you assess the piece and decide on the best course of action.
DIY upholstery is feasible for simple pieces with the right tools and skills, though intricate jobs typically require professional expertise for the best results.
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.
