"Robert Archer came the morning after I spoke to him about the job, which involved area rug and upholstery cleaning. He and his assistant worked fast and did a great job. They were able to almost completely remove stains in upholstery that I thought were permanent. Robert explained everything he did as he went. Highly recommend. We will use him again."
"The service was excellent and we noticed a big difference in the cleanliness of the rug. We are very happy and will use this company again in the future. Thank you!"
"Exceptional work! We had 3 pieces repaired and Rick completed it in the time he quoted. He did a great job, especially on an heirloom piece which was built in 1976 for the USA's bicentennial. I highly recommend him for any furniture restoration work."
"Hired Clean Rite for to clean a couple of rooms and some furniture. We were very happy with the service and value. I would certainly hire them again. Nicely done..."
"DAI did a mold abatement and basement restoration. Maxx was easy to work with. The crews were professional and accommodating. They did outstanding work at a fair price. DAI is a gem that we highly recommend."

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.
As with any project, weighing the pros and cons of upholstery can help determine if that is the right choice for you. The ultimate question is whether it’s worth reupholstering instead of buying new furniture. Here are a few of the benefits and disadvantages of reupholstering a piece of furniture.
Pros:
Preserving a family heirloom
Maintaining high-quality furniture in good condition
Reinventing an old piece of furniture
Keeping a piece of furniture from going to a landfill
Cons:
Spending (possibly) more than to buy a new piece of furniture
Finding out the frame is beyond repair
Waiting for the reupholstery work to be done
