have no doubt this attention to detail made the difference in assuring my move went smoothly and on schedule. Alan's moving crew is friendly and professional. They bring EVERYTHING needed to get the job done right: wardrobe boxes to make it fast and easy to move the contents of the closet, bubble wrap to protect delicate glass, moving blankets to pad as needed and protect those perfect hardwood floors, shrink wrap that keeps drawers from coming open and upholstered furniture and mattresses spic and span. Oh, and did I mention they are gracious. Like when the world's tiniest elevator went out and they had to carry what is quite possibly the world's heaviest and most awkward desk down the stairs. No problem. No moaning, no groaning, just a cheerful, "let's get it done" attitude! Or when I discovered that the new office wasn't built out to my *exact* specifications and the server rack wouldn't roll into the server room. No biggie for these guys: they made sure equipment was secured and used their team to carefully and safely ease the rack into the room at an angle. While I'm hoping never to again move, if I did, I have no doubt I'd call Alan Vickers Moving again! They are truly the best.

As I had purchased the matching chair, I didn't want to return it. The floor model wasn't a good option either as it had been sitting in the dusty showroom for a couple of years. We decided to live with the sofa as it was. After we'd had the sofa a month, I noticed that the sleeper mechanism bar was resting on our hardwood floor and notified HFH of the problem. It took nearly TWO MONTHS before a replacement sleeper had arrived and they were ready to repair. When the upholstery repair company took the sofa, they dropped it on my front porch. When it was returned, they had not done the work promised and the sleeper was still resting on the floor. I called HFH and asked them for a full refund on the sofa (which was given) and indicated that I wanted them to pick it up-not the upholsterer as they'd already done enough damage to our home. They sent the upholsterer to pick it up anyway. Essentially, we're stuck with the matching chair ($1000) that doesn't match anything and are looking for a new sofa. And the quality of the product isn't as good as we had thought-it isn't holding up well to daily use."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/houston/high-fashion-home-reviews-1999408.htm"},"position":4},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"TWO GIRLS and A BROOM","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jayne O."},"reviewBody":"I had an appointment with them at 8am.

I don't think it would take me 3 hours to paint my little 1200 sq. ft. house! When I told her about the things that weren't cleaned, she discounted the price to $200, which I feel is still too high.

Upholstering questions, answered by experts
The average time it takes to reupholster a piece of furniture is around eight hours, but it varies significantly based on the piece. A professional can usually reupholster smaller furniture units like dining chairs or small ottomans in two to three hours, while an entire sofa might take several days or up to a week. Antique furniture tends to take longer to reupholster because greater care needs to be taken to preserve the piece. Your timeline might be a bit longer if you need other repairs done, like sanding and refinishing wood components.
Consider durability, color, texture, room use, and personal style when selecting fabric. Fabrics like linen, cotton, or microfiber offer versatility and strength.
It is usually worth repairing leather furniture, as it tends to retain its value, provided you care for the material. A typical repair for leather furniture will cost about $250, which is significantly more affordable than replacing the furniture entirely. Even if you spend toward the upper end of the typical cost range for a full reupholstering—around $4,000—you’ll still save money over replacing it. Of course, the quality of the leather and the piece of furniture matters. Consult a leather repair professional about whether it’s worth repairing your leather furniture.
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.
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.
