Upholstering, Furniture Refinishing and Repair, Antiques
About us
We reupholster all furniture, Antiques to Contemporary. We also specialize in the Art Deco, and Mid Century Modern periods. Our motto is "Furniture Upholstery at it's Finest." We Have a Wood Refinishing, Vinyl and Leather Repair person that we refer. We also refer out Fabric outlets to save people money.
I am baffled by some of these poor reviews - in my experience, not only did Bill do a great job making some slip covers for my chair, but his service and communication was expedient and the covers look great. I was happily surprised by how fast he responded to me, came by and measured and made the covers. It is rare to find service like his, and he is a genuinely nice and kind person. I highly recommend him!

Bill completed the work on time and on budget. Excellent workmanship. We will return to his company in the future and will refer others who seek honesty and expertise in his craft.
Description of Work: Very impressed with Bill's honesty and sincerity. We needed specialty cushions for a breakfast nook and did not have a clue as to design construction..Bill came to the house, took measurements, offered an objective assessment and recommendation for fabric and padding. His written bid for the work was very reasonable.

Responses to inquires were very slow but friendly once they happened. The quote I received was far higher than the price of two other companies. I had the work done at Fine Line Trim And Upholstery for less than 1/3 the price I was quoted by B & T Upholstery and Repairs.

Description of Work: If you could rate Bill Clausen A++++ I would. He took 4 Louis XVI style chairs and reupholstered them - seat, back and rear of back, with a complex jacquard/paisley fabric. Each chair was identical, the pattern was centered on the seat and backs, and beautifully done. He picked up the chairs and also dropped them off. The first job he did for us was cutting down one of the pieces in a sectional sofa that was 4" too long for our room. He performed magic - you couldn't tell which seat was reduced, and the frame and seat were complicated. No problem for Bill. He is honest, reliable, and very talented. I wouldn't use anyone else. Thank you Bill! We now have beautiful furniture that we will enjoy for many years.

Description of Work: Repaired the spring mechanism in a sectional piece. Bill was adamant about repairing it in a proper manner (taking it completely apart) after we suggested he just cut through the top to repair it. He explained the whole process. He was able to take it same day and had it back to us in a few days. We are happy with the repair.

I found his ad in Angie's list and the reviews were stellar. I have a sofa in need of re-upholstering and after reading the great ads I thought, and quot;this is the guyand quot;. Called him last Monday morning just before noon. He said send me some pics and I can quote you. I said that I just took some and I'd send them in a few minutes. I did. No price Monday, or Tuesday. Wednesday i sent him an email asking if he got the pics, things happen. No response. Thursday another note. no response. My wife called. No response. Friday, I sent him a message through Angie's List site asking did he not want to do it, That's OK just tell me. Is he swamped and it will take a week to get me a quote, OK too, just let me know something. BAM. I get a response in 10 minutes. He says he's been out for a couple of days and hasn't had time to look at the pics but would do so today and get me a price back by tonight. When I talked to him on Monday, 5 days earlier, he didn't tell me he was out of town or anything . He said send me the pics and I get you a quote right back. That was less than the truth. So, Friday night, no quote. Saturday nothing, Sunday,nothing. Here it is Monday and I still have not gotten anything from him. Perhaps he is busy. I'm in business and things get harried at times, I know. But at least I stay in touch with people. This guy has a problem. I'm glad all of these other folks had good luck with him. I built a good business on referrals. This guy will get nothing but bad press from me.
Description of Work: He has done nothing in over a week.

Bill and John were very accommodating about this small job even though they usually do larger projects. I wasn't sure there was enough fabric for the seat cover, but John managed not only to cover the seat but to recreate the piping detail around the edge of the cushion. They even polished up the wooden parts of the chair, which were quite worn. The result is beautiful. I hadn't shopped around, but the price seemed very reasonable, too. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: I took in an older dining room chair to have the seat recovered with a remnant of fabric leftover from another job.

We had an expensive leather sectional couch that was looking pretty sad after 10 years of kids, pets and parties. We were expecting to have to replace both the leather cushions as well as the padding. Bill suggested we only replace the cushions and just have the leather cleaned, resurfaced and colored, which saved us a lot of money. We took him up on this--he re-did the cushions for us and did a nice job on them, then hooked us up with someone else to re-furb the leather. We were very pleased with the results--the couch looks and feels great.

Bill came out right away and said it would take about 2 weeks. I called him 2 weeks later, and he told me it would be done on Friday of that week. He gave me a time, in the evening, he would deliver it. He then called on Friday afternoon to say he had been called out and wouldn't be able to complete/deliver on Friday but could deliver on Saturday at 1:00. He then called on Saturday to say he didn't have the foam to replace the top and would have to get it but he would definitely deliver to us that day. I had to call him a couple of times to check on the status. I don't think he was too happy about that. Overall, he did excellent work and I would possibly use him again but I was rather disappointed regarding the delivery. I believe he had my ottoman for 2 weeks but didn't start the work until that Friday. I believe he should have checked on the foam before that day to prevent the delay.

I said a lot above but he had two antique chairs that were well over 80 years old and actually brought them back to life. He remade all the insides, re glued and made everyting stronger. One chair no one could sit on for fear of falling apart. Its now stronger than ever.He upholsterd the new fabric, pre puchased by me, and the chairs look absolutely gorgeous! His professionalism and pricing were great and more than fair.
Description of Work: I gave Bill two antique family chairs that had been in the family for over 80 years. I purchased the fabric at JoAnn's by his recommendation and over two plus months, really three, he performed miracles on both chairs. He reglued, restrung and tightened the foundation of each chair and placed the new fabric on each with such professionalism and beauty. He was punctual, more than I was...working still so he waited for me to get to the house so I could be accommodated. I had been convalesving from chemo therapy cancer treatments...he couldn't have been more understanding and pleasant to work with. The chairs will last at least two more generations! I couldn't recommend his services more.

Bill came by promptly to give us estimates. He offered excellent advice about ways of saving money, and where to get high quality fabrics. He is very generous with his time and expertise, and always goes the extra mile to ensure happy customers. He kept us informed of work-in-progress by phone, and dropped pieces off as completed. His willingness to pick up and deliver was especially valuable to us. All work was top quality and completed in a timely manner. We have been delighted to deal with him, and are continuing to do so. We have several backyard cushions and indoor pillows he is repairing/creating for us currently. Bill is top-knotch! Our friends admire the excellent work Bill has done, and we recommend him whole-heartedly at every opportunity.
Description of Work: Repaired sofa -- Restuffed several cushions, renewed/adjusted others; tied springs, replaced layer over springs; ensured frame in good order. Completely re-upholstered two living room chairs; we supplied fabric. Re-upholstered decorative bench and footstool, and replaced old-fashioned wood trim.
