"Mr. Hernandez was terrific. I cannot say enough good things. I had five projects for him and he did each one perfectly. He even *made* a piece for my door on the spot out of wood that was in my garage! He was so tidy that there was nothing to clean up. He installed cabinets! He fixed two doors! He installed weatherproofing strips. He was very good about keeping in touch and letting me know when he would come. And he's nice, too!"
"They assembled my new sofa and boxed up my other to be shipped. Then they assembled 4 tables and a storage bench. Not leaving until everything was done even though they had to stay late to complete everything."

"Reliable, quality, skilled workmanship...I love my new upholstered chair, an antique from American Theater...job well done in a timely manner. Dr. Elizabeth Robertson"
"After I approved the drapes, I was sent an invoice for $700. I paid the invoice. It's been over a year and despite numerous emails (over a dozen) with Amanda Zettel of Homemade Design, I still have not received the drapes or a refund. I was very satisfied with all of Homemade Design's work up until this experience."
"The Chimney Cleaning crew arrived a few minutes early for their appointment and spoke with my wife and me about the chimney cleaning project. They explained what they needed to do and my wife offered to let them use her plastic painting cover 'cloths to protect the carpet near the fireplace. They inspected the chimney cap and the spark arrestor, then proceeded to efficiently clean the fireplace, the flue and the spark arrestor and rain guard. The two technicians were informed, conversational and polite. I felt confident that they would do a good job and leave my house cleaner than when they arrived! Their chimney video camera was broken."

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.
Paying to reupholster a piece of furniture means you want to hire the right upholstery service, especially for a piece that’s expensive or carries a lot of sentimental value. In your search for the right upholstery company, be sure to:
Ask around to see if friends or family know of any upholsterers
Find reviews of the company or individual
Look at the photo gallery of their work to see if they work on furniture like yours and if you like their work
Check qualifications and references
Ask the upholstery service if they work on furniture like yours, what their schedule looks like, how they handle payments, and how long the job will take
If your usually super soft couch feels crusty and rough after cleaning, it could be that you haven’t removed the cleaning product properly, you used too much, or you applied the wrong type. Always check the couch tags to select the right cleaning product, read application instructions carefully, and test on an inconspicuous corner. For fabrics such as microfiber, you can soften and fluff crusty fibers using a soft-bristled brush.
Upholstering allows personalization, extends furniture life, conserves resources, refreshes decor, and often costs less than buying new pieces.
