"David Leech is a top quality craftsman! He fully repaired and restored my grandparents’ antique oak draw leaf dining table and chairs. He even crafted a new mechanism to enable the leaves to smoothly extend and retract. The staining, clear coat and beautiful beeswax polish is exquisite. This furniture has a particularly meaningful place in my family’s heart, given it’s honored place at our little summer cottage on Lake Erie. So many loving memories now amplified by this beautiful workmanship. Thank you so much, David!"

Hello,\nI’m Tom I have been involved in some type of construction since I was little working with my Dad. I have narrowed things down to decks and fences as I love working outside. I do enjoy those small indoor jobs on cold rainy days, putting things together.\nI would love an opportunity to meet and shop with fence repairs or replacement. \nThank you for considering me.\nTom
"I would have given an "A" rating were it not for the devil being in the details. 1. The van rear doors, when open, expose the track area and that had not been cleaned. Noticeable only when you look for it and then it's obvious. 2. Was able to get 99.5% of the dog hair out of the cargo area carpet. Would like to have seen it all removed. 3. For a one-person operation he does a good job but finished when it had gotten dark. You can't really judge much until the next day. 4. Super convenient service; comes to you."
"Finding a service who would come to London, OH was not easy. However, the folks at Apex 1st were quick to answer my message. Scheduling through their online portal was easy. On the scheduled day, Kyle called to let me know when to expect him. He was right on time. The carpets hadn’t been cleaned in a long time so I wasn’t expecting much. Kyle took extra time and even re-treated the high traffic areas to get out the walked-in grime. When he finished, I was amazed at how good the carpets looked. I would absolutely use Apex 1st again."
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.
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.
Yes, you can reupholster antique furniture, and it’s a great way to extend the life of your pieces and keep them looking fresh and new for years to come. In fact, since reupholstering furniture is significantly more affordable than replacing it, reviving antique furniture can be a cost-effective way to keep that family heirloom usable for much longer. It’s usually a good idea to leave antique reupholstering to a professional, as they will have the tools and expertise to ensure the piece isn’t damaged and looks professionally finished.
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.
Upholstery reduces waste sent to landfills, limits resource consumption, and supports sustainable living practices, provided fabrics meet standards.
