Description of Work: They did a fantastic job updating an ugly old chair into a beautiful new one. It was an expensive piece of furniture so it was worth spending the money and they did a beautiful job. Raul was great to work with and so accomodating. I would highly recommend them.

Description of Work: The vendor didn't follow any of my instructions or directions. He made assumptions on the finish without contacting me. The finished quality was sub-par. He had to come back (2) times before I had to tell him that his work was sub-par and not worth the original quoted price. However he did come back to try and make it right...so I did pay him $650. I would not recommend this provider to anyone.

Description of Work: Raul replaced the foam in my couch cushions to make the seating firm and replaced the 5 couch cushions with new plump ones. I was impressed with his promptness snd quality of work and will use his service again. The price included pick up and delivery and I live in University City. Angie's list was a big help locating a referral.

Description of Work: We had Franco's do several projects for us; new covering on 4 dinning chairs; new covering on 3 bar stools; and refurbishing 2 sofas. They did excellent work in a timely fashion. They were easy to deal with and gave great advice on what type of repairs to carry out. We would highly recommend them.

Franco's was very professional and helpful. I took the chair in and they helped me pick out fabric. We also talked about the chair being a family heirloom that I wanted restored, but not refinished. I wanted the generations of baby rocking to be evident. When I went to pick up the chair, I saw that the back cushion was not satisfactory, so they happily re-did it to my satisfaction. It was due to lack of communication on my part, not theirs. 4
Description of Work: Franco's upholstered and restored an old, but sentimental rocking chair that was my grandmothers. They restored the wood as opposed to refinishing, because I wanted the wear to show through. The cushions were replaced with new ones in the fabric I chose.

Excellent.
Description of Work: I got an estimate for demo of my laminate flooring in a large family room and kitchen. I didn't go ahead and hire Franco because the flooring installer did this as a part of his pricing. I was seriously considering Franco for this or another project because he was punctual, professional and very willing to work. I'm sure her would have done a good job and beat the other estimates by a considerable amount.

So far, everything has gone well, and I'm pleased with the work they've done. One day however, I scheduled them to pick up the chairs, and they failed to keep the appointment. They didn't call me again until the next day. I wish to save my recommendations until they have completed the job.

He did a superb job. I thought that the price was very good. He is very friendly, very nice and very knowledgeable. He is very competent. His quality workmanship is quite good. I lived in France for many years and I have dealt with quite a few upholsters over there. He certainly has done as well as they did. I am very pleased with his work. I have given his card to two of my neighbors because they were impressed with the quality of his work. I would recommend them to anyone. I didn’t go to anyone else and so I can't say; I have no comparison. He is very responsive.

They were responsive and did the job on time and as promised.
Description of Work: The cushions in my sofa and loveseat were getting too soft to sit comfortably without collapsing into the sofa. Franco's redid the cushions with a very nice quality thick foam that had good stiffness making the furniture much more comfortable to sit on.

I had a cat tree that my cats had scratched the carpet covering (they were supposed to do that). It was looking very tacky and I asked Raul about it when he brought back some tables I had him refinish. He does excellent work -I had him refinish and reupholster an antique chair, make new cushions for my living room couch and also refinish my tables. He said he could do what I wanted so he took it with him. I recovered the cat tree because it was very sturdy and I couldn't find anything like it in the store. He brought it back yesterday and it looked better than new. He said he had to take it apart to get all areas covered with carpet. I was very pleased.

They did a fantastic job. I used them for an upholstered and refinished chair in the pas. , I sent them pictures in email on a Saturday for an estimate from Raul. He called me back within ten minutes of sending the pictures to help me and give me an estimate over the phone. He was very responsive and picked them up the following monday, and returned them three weeks later. The tables look like new and he did a beautiful job. The price included pickup and delivery which was important to me, too.

They did a very good job refinishing my chair. They reupholstered the back and seat of the chair and then disassembled my chair, stripped and refinished it, and reassembled for a very reasonable price.
