I got his name from the upholstery fabric store where I had purchased the fabric for the work. He arrived within one day, inspected the three items, made an estimate for labor and materials, did the work within three weeks. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. He was knowledgeable and very gracious.

I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE. IF I WERE TO DO IT AGAIN, THE ONLY THING I WOULD CHANGE WOULD BE SELECTING A FABRIC FROM A WHOLESALE COMPANY. THE ACTUAL RE-UPHOLSTERY JOB WAS EXCELLENT.

AAA CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY INC
5.0
We had been given AAA Upholstery as a recomendation. I went down to the very funky little shop in an alley in San Rafael and was a bit turned off at first because of the actual space itself. However, the owner came out and was very friendly and very knowledgable. He gave me fabric sample books to take home no problem. I picked a fabric and he said he would need to charge $90/yard (discounted from $120). I then went online and found the same fabric for $41/yard. The owner was not at all upset that I had gone online and offered to pick up the sofa and fabric from me that day. The sofa was done within a week and it looks amazing! I would absoluely use AAA Upholstery again. Don't let the space fool you!

Sterling Custom Upholstery
4.0
I was not totally satisfied. They made good on fixing it but the attitude was more less that we were being picky. The cushions were done totally different than we had contracted for. The owner was quite aggressive and the store is a mess itself and I guess upholstery stores tend to be that way because they have a lot of fabrics so I am not finding fault with that but it was not what we had expected. They were not professional. It was a couch that had been very expensive initially and had been upholstered in a very nice fabric, wood rounded corners and they brought cushions back to see cushions were just 90 degree sharp corners. So I felt that was not what we wanted and they had changed it very drastically so they said we can fix that. So they did take the cushions but it was with a certain amount of reluctancy and the lady told me this is the very latest type of cushions and I have them throughout my home and it was why was I questioning their taste. But I said your taste may be one thing but I have been in the upholstery business for long enough to know that different people have different tastes. And we wandered around and after we had gotten back it was a very professional job done and they did do but just the remark like, mine is the real latest did not really settle very well with me. And we have down pillows in the back and in the poor fabrics those little feathers pop through and our original fabric it had taken 19 years for them to pop through and they are popping through now. And I asked her about that and it is not enough to make any difference now but the couch is less than a month back here and she said well we put the deck on it to stop that but those were your original cushions so in other words what could I expect. So there are just little things like that, I wouldn't say they were bad but they did not set well with us. They responded majorly for the cushions and took them back but it was all done reluctantly and you have a feeling like why are you satisfied. They were very prompt and they gave us a very realistic window of when we would get it back and it got back and the delivery man was very nice. He had told me that I didn't have to pay until the next day and I wanted frankly to take a look at it. And the delivery man being very conscience said I was told to get a visa now and I phoned her and she said yes please pay him now whereas originally she had given me 24 hours to take a look so just little things like that. They were very fairy. They showed me books with certain price ranges and I could have gone up the step with the fabric and they were also very straight forward and informational about the different blends.

Amaral Upholstery
5.0
His name is Carlos Amaral. Carlos himself came to pick up the chairs. He was very professional and very careful of the walls not to knick anything. He charged me to pick them up but he was very fair about it. The fabric that I used was very expensive and he did a beautiful job. It was in the $150-200 per yard category. There were some questions about the larger chair and he checked with me to make sure it was done according to my specifications. We ended up ordering some more fabric after that discussion and it turned out beautifully. With the extra fabric he made a little pillow for the large chair, which was very nice. He got it back very quickly. They were very friendly, courteous and clear. They asked when they had any questions and it was a job well done. It was about $150 each for the two smaller chairs and around $350 for the larger chair. They also delivered them back to me.

Grenards Upholstery
2.0
I DROPPED MY COUCH OFF TO BE RE-UPHOLSTERED NEARLY THREE MONTHS AGO AND STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANY WORD FROM THEM. THEY HAD INITIALLY ESTIMATED THAT THE UPHOLSTERING WOULD ONLY TAKE AROUND THREE WEEKS. I'VE WORKED WITH OTHER UPHOLSTERY BUSINESSES AND GRENARD'S UPHOLSTERY PALES IN COMPARISON. THE LAST COUCH I SENT OFF TO BE RE-UPHOLSTERED ONLY TOOK THREE WEEKS AT THE OTHER BUSINESS. I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM GRENARD'S.

CENTRAL UPHOLSTERY CO
5.0
I found Central Upholstery on Angie's List, and my experience was very good. Mr. Ish is personable and helpful. He has a good understanding of the type of fabric that would have been used on this piece originally (he was replacing upholstery that was not original), and he has a ton of different options in his shop. He quickly located several samples that I liked. He told me that the chair would be ready in about 10 days, and it was. He delivered the finished chair to my home at no additional charge.

David and his Dad were extremely helpful, informative, professional, and knowledgeable. My chairs were reupholstered and the joints were fixed in one day. I chose to use one of their fabrics and was happy with the results. The quality is impeccable and my chairs look brand new. The pricing was reasonable. I highly recommend Homely Upholstery.

ABY'S CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY

Aby's did a great job, and I would return there. It's not a fancy shop, but the quality was excellent. And it's nice to see a woman-run business succeed. Communication was excellent back and forth on some details. And she was fast. The price included the upholstery fabric and labor.

Owner, Lothar Weiler cares about his business. I cant thank him and his crew for the work they did. they not only lined up the pattern nicely, but also know how to cut fabric so that we can minimize wastes. To accomplish such, it requires mindfulness and effort and not only focusing on profit from project. i will secure services from Mr. Weiler again, without a doubt. Each time I walk into my living room, i am just happy because i enjoy the new upholstery . I added additional work and all were done timely.

Amaral Upholstery
4.0
Great - we picked out the fabric and they did a great and timely job. We went to their store in Alameda and were very pleased with the work. We had found a chair at the Flea Market and it's a great mission chair that had a vinyl seat cover. They re-stuffed it and it look great. Couldn't be happier. We ended up going back to and getting additional fabric for another chair. They have a great selection of fabrics and prices were reasonable. I understand that they have now changed their name to Cand M Upholstery.

Lothar is an excellent upholsterer. Good upholstery shops are hard to find and we were glad that we were able to find Lothar and his team. Lothar made a customized bay window seat cushion along with seat cushions for living/dining room chairs for us. Lothar has a wide variety of fabric to select from and provided good feedback on pros and cons of each. We were able to select the right fabric and color to match our room. We also had 4 cushions made for the bay window. All of the cushions were excellent. Our bay window seat cushion was a challenge due to its size but it was built perfect and when we had few adjustments to be made, they were done with a smile. In all, we were extremely satisfied with the work and in addition the prices were very reasonable. We would recommend Lothar and would not hesitate to get our upholstery work done from him in the future.

They did a good job on the Sofa and I did not have to buy anything. They were very responsive. Once they called me to say that they will be 15 minutes late, as they were stuck in traffic. They were very efficient. They had to open the sofa, cut the fabric, retie the springs and put it all back. They did an amazing job. I will definitely use them in the future and I recommend them to others.

My wife and I discovered Band D Upholstery on Yelp. Lothar is the owner. They are open M-F 7am to 3pm and Sat to 12 pm. We visted his shop on a Sat and went over his wide variety of fabric. Plan on spending a few hours. We took a couple of sample books home to make sure we liked the colors and it matched our decor. We picked the fabric and ordered it. When the fabric came in, they picked up our sofa and chair as promised. The sofa and chair was delivered timely this morning and it is better than new. The craftsmenship was excellent. The colored patterns on the material including the stripes matched perfectly, including on the cushions. Lothar, the owner, is a very friendly, talented, smart and an honest person. He is a craftsmen and works very hard at his trade. It is very difficult to find someone like him these days.

Sterling Custom Upholstery
5.0
The first fabric I chose was on back order for months. Sterling found a good match within a couple of days and I had the chairs back within three weeks of my initial call. They also picked up and delivered the chairs for no extra charge, even though I live 20 miles from their storefront. (Sweet!) These chairs were favored reading chairs and I was concerned that they might not be as comfortable after reupholstering. Thankfully that didn't stop me- the chairs are now beautiful and comfortable and have retained their favorite chair status. I wholeheartedly recommend Sterling and will definitely use them again.

Morales Upholstery
5.0
We brought two leather chair cushions into Morales Upholstery for reupholstering. The chairs had leather seats and backs, with wood frames. The leather on one of the seat cushions was torn, so we wanted to replace both seats, but leave the leather on the backs. The woman in the front office explained that it would be expensive to use leather, as we would have to buy an entire piece of leather, even though we only needed a couple of yard for the cushions. After looking at a variety of leather, faux leather, and fabric samples, and getting various estimates, we ended up going with fabric. The chairs turned out beautifully, and the cost was $240 for both chairs: less than the estimate.

Furniture reupholstering is a useful way of getting more life out of your current items. It’s a cheaper option than purchasing new furniture, and reupholstering also allows you to experiment with new fabric designs. Upholstering also comes in handy when designing custom furniture for the home.

How much does furniture reupholstering near me cost?

Most customers spend an average of $652 for their furniture reupholstery. Depending on the specific item, you may end up spending $340 to $960 for the entire project. Labor costs for upholstering furniture are about $55 per hour. Here’s a cost breakdown according to specific items.

Sofas

Sofas are among the costliest to upholster, depending on their size and the scope of work necessary. An average three-sofa set may cost $1,100 per chair to reupholster (inclusive of labor and fabric costs).

Larger family size couches often cost $1,200 to $3,500 to reupholster.

The higher end cost often includes services such as re-stuffing cushions, repairing broken frames, and replacing old fabric.

Chairs

Individual chairs such as dining room chairs may cost $40 to $60 per chair. Other chair designs such as loveseats and large armchairs may cost between $300 to $400 to reupholster.

Factors to consider:

The cost of reupholstering furniture varies according to the following factors.

Size of the item

Larger items such as couches and large chairs often cost more (costing over $1,000 to reupholster) than smaller individual chairs (often costing under $1,000).

Fabric selections

Not all fabrics are the same. Softer and unique material choices often result in higher material costs for the project.

Custom design options

If you’re reupholstering customized furniture, the labor and material costs tend to be higher.

How do I find the best furniture upholstery professional near me?

The success of your project will depend on the contractor you choose for the job. You should always check for the following in a furniture upholstery company.

  • Years of service in the business
  • License and adequate insurance
  • Clear price estimates and payment terms
  • A portfolio of previous work
