Service was wonderful, he really did a good job and I would highly recommend him.
Description of Work: He re upholstered 6 chairs that are probably around 75 years old mid century dining chairs from the late 40's. He took them completely apart and he had sewed each one together, restuffed and put them back because they are all lose. He reasonally told me it would take two weeks but it only took a week. He's very quick and he have a lot of samples to choose from. He was very helpful when i was choosing for patterns,

He always does a good job. He's extremely fastidious. He's very particular. you can count on him to do it right the first time. He never hunts for business. I have a lot of furniture and some of the things are hand me downs from friends. The recliner was one of those and once we got the coat off of it, it was golden oak and turned out to be a beautiful piece of furniture. It takes him forever to get something done but I don't care. He can tell whatever time he needs as far as I'm concerned. His price is a little tiny bit on the high side buts its so worth it. He has a great selection of upholstery materials too.
Description of Work: I'm using him now. He's doing the sofa and before that he did the recliner.

Worked with me to help me keep within my budget. Ordered larger fabric sample sizes for me to look at. Firmed up framing of furniture. Made sure new seat padding was comfortable before applying new upholstery. Communicated effectively throughout process. Finished project earlier than estimated. Quality of craftsmanship is outstanding! My old Ethan Allen furniture is probably good for another 17 years! Mr. Garber was always friendly and kind.

We met with a few different upholsterers and decided on Alex. His pricing was comparable but he was very up front about what he thought the furniture needed. some of the other people we met gave us a price and really did not discuss any details. Mr. Garber was very easy to work with. He was very professional. Our loveseats look incredible. Even better than we thought they would look. We had strongly considered buying new furniture but could not find anything we liked better that was new so decided to go forward with reupholstering. The fabric was a detailed pattern and he matched it perfectly at every seam. He added padding where needed. His pricing is fair. He explained what could be done and he would do what we wanted. We were very very picky about the particular fabric we wanted and he worked with us on this. Once he had our furniture he had it ready in a couple of weeks, which was sooner than expected.
Description of Work: re-upholstered 2 loveseats, 1 chair and ottoman, added 5 matching throw pillows.

Exceptional job! Alex Garber reupholstered our chairs with extremely great quality workmanship. We brought our kitchen chiars to him thinking only the fabric would be replaced. Instead the complete chair was reworked and replaced so that the chairs are better than they were when they were brand new. When we saw what a fantastic job was being done on the chairs we brought him an antique rocker to redo. The cushions of the old mission oak rocker were redone in leather. The chair frame was glued and fixed. It really looks fantastic! In addition to the upholstery, Alex has a re-finisher he works with who did the wood parts of our kitchen chairs and the rocker frame. That was also exceptional work. The overall cost of the work we had done was high but I gave price an "A" rating because you have to expect to pay for work of this quality. Alex Garber Upholstery provides a quality of workmanship that is rarely seen in this day and age. In addition to the great work, there is a showroom full of fabrics to choose from that is phenomenal! Obviously we were very pleased with our experience and we plan on taking another chair and a footstool to be re-done in the near future.

A month after I dropped my chairs at his store they were still sitting on the shelf untouched. Mr. Garber still couldnt give me a date when he might begin my project much less finish the upholstery job. He really didnt want the business and wasnt concerned when I wanted to take them back and use someone else to complete the job. I felt he was unsympathetic to my schedule and rude overall. I will not be going to A. Garber ever again.

It went very well. Mr. Garber was efficient about discussing my proposed work, examining the chairs, providing an estimate and doing the work. The work was completed on time, and the price ended up being just as he had promised. We are very pleased with the results.

Garber has reupholstered a sofa, love seat, and 6 dining chairs over the past 10 years. We will go back to him when it's time to do this again. He listens to our needs, makes excellent suggestions, and is eager for us to be pleased with the finished product. The quality of workmanship is impeccable. I continue to be pleased with the finished product and recommend him to one and all who need furniture reupholstered.

Mr. Garber is a true artist. He meticulously fashioned a new chair and ottoman from what was an eyesore. I chose a large scale pattern, which Mr. Garber painstakingly applied to optimize the beauty of the design. Mr. Garber called me into the store prior to constructing the chair cushion and ottoman padding. He was extremely patient as I tried out various cushions, making sure that my chair would be comfortable for me, as well as beautiful. And it is just that?beautiful and extremely comfortable. In addition, due to a back problem, I require a pillow behind my back. Mr. Garber worked with me to find the perfect shape and size pillow. I was surprised to receive an expertly crafted matching pillow and arm covers when my chair and ottoman were delivered. Mr. Garber and his staff are a pleasure to work with. Marina was very helpful at the store, and Dmitri did a great job with pick-up and delivery. I most definitely recommend A. Garber Upholstery. You can trust Alex Garber to do a perfect job!
Description of Work: I had my 32 year old tufted leather wing chair and ottoman reupholstered. It was in very bad shape, and I tried to replace it with new furniture. However, the new furniture did not measure up to the old furniture. So, I decided to have my old furniture reupholstered. Since I now had a new tufted leather chair and ottoman set, I wanted to have the old set done in a patterned fabric. I chose a large scale pattern, so I did not want the new set to be tufted. Mr. Garber totally reconditioned and reupholstered my old set. I got a high end “new” chair and ottoman for a fraction of the cost. The cost quoted above is for labor only.

I took a chair to Mr. Garber to be completely 'renovated' and reupholstered about a year ago and his people did an excellent job. I was very pleased with the results. So I took 2 chair seats to Mr. Garber in January 2013. Mr. Garber has an extensive selection of fabric samples and it was very hard to make a choice. Mr. Garber told me it would cost less if I chose one fabric for both chair seats because one yard of fabric would be enough for both seats. (The fabric is fairly expensive. As I recall, the fabric I chose cost about $95.00/yard, or so.) So I left the 2 chair seats with Mr. Garber. He said it would take approximately 1 to 2 weeks to complete the project. A few days later I received a phone call from Mr. Garber telling me the chair seats were finished. I went to the store and picked them up. I was very pleased with the quality of workmanship on the 2 chair seats. I will definitely take more pieces of furniture to Mr. Garber in the future for reupholstering. (Note: Mr. Garber requests approx. 50% down, and does not accept credit cards.)

Although this was obviously a very small job for their workroom, Mr. Garber wrote me an estimate and told me how long it would take to complete the cushion (2 weeks). He asked some questions to ascertain what I preferred in the details: such as the direction of the stripes in the fabric, the length of the ties and the cushion thickness. I provided a template because it was a surprise for my husband, and I couldn't bring in the chair. In two weeks, the cushion was ready, and it is beautiful. Perfect, in fact, and that was a surprise, given that they were working from a template rather than the chair. I am very particular and have a sharp eye for detail, and I can tell you, A. Garber Upholstery is THE BEST. I looked around at some of their other, completed items and everything was done meticulously. They have a huge selection of fabric samples to choose from and Mr. Garber is professional and no-nonsense. I am very happy with my experience, and I will absolutely return as items in my home wear out and need replacing. A. Garber Upholstery is the place to go if you value fine workmanship and top-notch quality.
