i had another estimate at $400 and 2 weeks to complete, but decided to go with a highly rated business on angle's list. if you want to pay more and wait twice as long, you have found the right place. his original completion estimate was 3 to 4 weeks. i called after 30 days and he blamed ground transportation for delaying the delivery of 4 yards of fabric. he said it would be another 3 to 4 weeks. it was completed about 3 weeks later. i cannot recommend him.

I called Gilbert and he was very friendly, came out to my house to inspect it and we carried it out to his van. He said he'd get it back to me within a week but returned it days earlier. He showed me the extra things he did (for no extra charge) and it was a real pleasure working with him.
Description of Work: Gilbert replaced the padding in both seats of my sectional couch and reinforced them.

Gilbert Aguayo, with decades of experience behind him, specializes in reupholstering antique furniture. He is very familiar with furniture construction, and thinks through all steps to make sure things are done in proper order. His shop is full of interesting supplies and examples of his work and materials. I took my job to him, but he would gladly pick up the work and return it when finished. We talked over all steps and materials involved in my small job, and agreed on things before he started. He's a pleasure to work with, and he tells great stories!
Description of Work: Upholstered the seat of an antique rocking chair, including tying old springs, furnishing burlap, muslin, horsehair padding, tapestry cover, and braid edging. Made some repairs to chair seat, i.e. glued loose joints and put in screws at corners.
