Very well, we wanted to get an old loveseat redesigned so we could get it down stair way to basement. Owner said cost would be prohibitive and offered alternative of a loveseat they had for sale with our item as a trade in. Quality of new piece was well above what we traded in. We were also able to find chairs for dinning table. Items were delivered later the same day. A family owned business that knew their trade and practiced customer satisfaction.
Description of Work: purchased loveseat and dinning room chairs. Date of purchase was fall of 2011

Andrew and his Mom couldn't have been nicer.
Description of Work: I agree with another reviewer, if your looking for pristine, this is not the place but....they were friendly and helpful. Great selection of fabrics and what a beautiful job they did on my wing back chair.

If you're looking for a pristine, storefront to shop for your fabrics, then this is not your place. But if you're looking for quality work and friendly service at a fair price then you should definitely see what they have to offer. My experience was excellent - I was able to take fabrics home with me to see them in my kitchen and they even got the cushions done in a week - just in time for a party I was having. Would definitely use them again for future jobs.
Description of Work: Spent hours perusing the many fabric samples that were available in the store and then had them make custom cushions for my kitchen banquette.

A very pleasant experience. The quality of the repair was excellent, beyond my expectation. The cost was fair and I would highly recommend this business.
Description of Work: I had a sofa with damage to an outside corner that was in a storage locker at the time. I called Andrew at AD Specialty Sewing and he was able to give me a phone estimate based on my description and a picture of the damage I emailed to him. Andrew and one of his co-workers came to the storage locker and picked up the sofa. He made the repair by using material from the back panel of the sofa and replaced the back panel with a close match. They delivered it back to my home within a week.

THe job was completed the next day and for less than the estimate. They did a great job. I will go back the next time I have an upholstery project. He showed me the way the existing cushions were and explained what they would do to make them better.
Description of Work: I had 3 sofa cushions that needed to be re-stuffed.
