We're very satisfied with the rocking chair and the leather cushions. We only paid for one delivery and didn't want to wait until the chair was finished, so we went to her office to pick up the cushions in late April. She said she messed up on one of the corners of the cushions and took off $50 for labor for this. It looks completely fine for us. Vitian also made the cushions reversible when they weren't before. Our rocking chair was delivered to our home at the end of May .Apparently, the chair took quite a bit of work at it had been re-upholstered many times and the wood was weak. Vitian was able to make it work and it looks absolutely beautiful!
Description of Work: We had two pieces of furniture that needed to be re-upholstered: a leather couch and an old rocking chair. One of the cushions on the couch had been scratched up by our dog's claws. She wasn't allowed on the couch, but whenever we weren't home she would get on it and we let it go towards the end of her years. Over time, these scratches started to tear an ugly hole in the cushion that we would cover up with a towel as it was so unsightly. The rocking chair is a family heirloom that we had stripped years ago with plans to re-upholster it that we never got around to. Vitian came over towards the end of March to show us some samples and pick up all of our couch cushions and the rocking chair. She said the cushions would be done within two-three weeks and we never had a timeline set for the rocking chair, we just wanted it done right.

The entire experience was fantastic. We purchased a deal for $19.99. That covered the labor costs. Once we dropped it off they told us they would call us once the new the exact amount of how much the material would cost. Sure enough, before they did any work they called us with the materials cost (I believe it was $45), and I told them they could proceed with the work. The entire process was smooth and very professional. They are extremely nice people. As I mentioned above, they delivered the cushion for no cost. I will certainly work with them again if my dog gets to anything else!
Description of Work: Vitian's completely re-upholstered and re-stuffed a foam couch cushion that our puppy chewed up. restored it to it's original size and is now even more firm than my original cushions. They did a fantastic job and they were nice enough to deliver the cushion to my work for no additional charge.

Our experience was exceptional. We needed a zipper replaced before a relocation. She worked us in and was so helpful. We picked up the cushion the next business day and it looks wonderful. I've already recommended Vitian to my friends and family! We will definitely use her the next time we have any upholstery need!

The couch is 10 years old and the cushions were really sagging. It is a Century couch and cost quite a bit so I wanted to see if it could be comfortable again. The cushions are like new! We won't need a new couch for a while.

When I gave her the material, she stated that I should have ordered the material through her, and that it was too thick. I told her that I had bought it from a reliable fabric store, and we had other pieces of furniture that were upholstered with the same fabric and it should be fine. She said that she would try it. She called me back and said that it was too thick and that I should come and take a look at it. When I saw the sample I told her that I wasn't happy with the quality of the work. She again blamed the fabric. At that point she had taken apart all the furniture , cut up all the fabric, but not actually upholstered any furniture..She stated I should order new fabric when I had already spent several hundred dollars on the current fabric. I told her I was going to take it somewhere else, but she wouldn't give me my deposit back. I took it somewhere else, and the chairs turned out great. I called her again and told her that I thought she should give me my money since someone else had been able to perform the job without difficulty. She stated that wouldn't give me back any of it because she had put time into it.
Description of Work: The job was to re-upholster 3 chairs. The money that I paid was 50% of the work, which was the deposit. She only took cash or check. She said that she would try to get them done in 3 weeks, when I called her at 4 weeks she hadn't even started them yet.

Response from Vitian's Re-Upholstery LLC
When the chairs and VINYL were dropped off on January 25th, a few days later I informed the member of my concerns with the VINYL she purchased. She came to the shop at the end of January, and I showed her where the seams would be larger and thicker than before. I explained to her that whenever something is changed from fabric to Vinyl, problems can arise. The member gave me the OK to continue. After her approval, we stripped and prepared the pieces. I again emailed the member with an update. I informed her that I had been sick and was running behind, but the pieces were cut, and I would need additional VINYL. The estimated due date for this job was not until March 4, and there was still time to complete the job. The next time I heard from the member was February 19th and was informed that she did not want me to continue because she was told by another company that I did not have the right equipment. I did not indicate to her that I would not complete the job, and she did not have an opportunity to see the work we had already done. The issue could have been avoided if I would have been informed from the beginning on the type of Vinyl being purchased. I would have tried to make a suggestion based on my experience with this material. I am glad to hear that the member was able to have the chairs finished. My apologies if the furniture did not turn out the way the member wanted.

Description of Work: I received a quote from Vittiene and was favorably impressed with her fabric selection and professional demeanor. I do plan to use her but had to shelve immediate plans to do my re-upholstery project. I am hoping to have her do my project n late Spring.

I have a 12-year old couch. In an earlier conversation with Vitian, she told me that she could replace the cushions, because, over the years, they condense or flatten. This is a whole lot cheaper than purchasing a new couch, considering the rest of the couch is still in good condition. I brought my three cushions to her studio and she measured them and suggested replacing my existing cushions with firm ones. I have some difficulty getting off the couch and use extra pillows on top of the existing cushions to help me sit taller and compensate for my flattened existing cushions. After measuring my cushions, Vitian purchased the firm foam and wrapped it before slipping each foam cushion into its fabric cover. When I picked up the cushions, I noticed how much lighter the three cushions were compared to my old ones and, when I put them on my couch and sat on them, they were delightfully firm. I no longer need pillows on top of the cushions. I am so pleased with the outcome. Feels like I have a new couch. Vitian is so delightful to work with and she's so well-informed. I always learn something when I consult with her regarding re-upholstering. Couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Vivian rebuilt the sagging seats of our dining room chairs and helped me select the material for the new seat covers. She did a great job and delivered them ahead of schedule. The chairs look (and feel) great and Vitian was absolutely delightful. Highly recommend her!

I bought this deal from an Angie's List email advertisement. Vitian is a nice and professional person. She came to my home and spent over an hour helping me figure out what fabrics to use. She was very knowledgeable and helped me choose just the right fabrics. For a small fee, she picked up the chairs and delivered them when finished. Unfortunately, I was in a bit of a time crunch as I wanted the chairs finished by the holiday in November. Vitian was able to complete the work entirely and have them back to me with time to spare although I know it was a busy season for her company. I would definitely contact this company again in the future for any reupholstering I need done. Highly recommend them.

She is terrific. She came out with sample fabrics and quickly understood what I needed. She helped me find a very durable but pretty blue for the kitchen . We found a lovely neutral fabric for the more formal dining room chairs. She was professional, helpful, personable and knowledgeable. With her warm sense of humor and practical approach, I felt comfortable even though I have never done this before . It seemed only natural to end the session with a hug! The chairs were delivered when promised (resulting in further laughing and a hug). They look terrific and were noticed by my family at Thanksgiving. What a nice lady and skilled crafts woman!
Description of Work: I had six kitchen and six dining room chairs reupholstered . Several of the kitchen chairs also were rather wobbly so she fixed them so they are as good as new.

We bought Vitian's Big Deal on Angie's List which should now be paid to her. That was $159. We paid an additional $100. for the fabric which is very pricey, but resistant to sun and other damage which we wanted for the porch. An additional $75. was paid for transporting the chairs, which surprised me, but I haven't had this kind of work done for a long time, so maybe that's in line. Vitian also repaired some damage in the wicker backs of the chairs. The chairs look very nice and will be wonderful on the porch.
Description of Work: We have an octagonal game table with four chairs that we intend to use on an enclosed porch when we move. Vitian replaced 30-year old upholstery with new sunbrella fabric.

Vitian was a pleasure to work with... She was right on time for her first visit... she brought her fabric selections and was very knowledgeable about what would work best - her suggestion was the fabric that was used... she sent a sample of the fabric so I could double check about whether it was the one to use..and I had to do was call/email to verify it. . as she said the chairs were done in six weeks. again she delivered them promptly and they look great! .. I wanted to have these done for a family celebration so the Angie's Deal and Vitian came at the just the right time!

We enjoyed the home visit and found information shared on chosing fabric very helpful. The finished chair and automan were beautifully and professionally done. Artistic decisions made while chair was being completed on finishing were excellent. The time for completion of the work was estimated and, while the delivery date was met, it did take maximum time in the range we were quoted. We were only disappointed in that, when we were 6 weeks out (within the expected range for completion of the project) we made a request for completion of the project sooner rather than later on behalf of a handicapped guest about to come to our home who would need to sit in the chair being finished. We were told that there was no way to move up delivery day in spite of the fact that, on home visit, we had been told that "once fabric is available, a chair could theoreticallly be completed in two days". We were not offered any explanation about why this was not a possibility, even in the face of the need to accomodate a handicapped person. We are very happy with the work done. We would use Vitians services again. But we would want to make sure we allowed for maximum project completion time.

Response from Vitian's Re-Upholstery LLC
I enjoyed working with you, and being a part of your new home I'm not sure if there was a misunderstanding in the amount of time you were told it takes me to complete a job from beginning to end with any changes or problems in fabric, having 2 days to only work on one job would be ideal. If there is any way that I can accommodate a special request I do try, but somethings are out of my hands (personal / business matter). I always try to find out in the beginning if there is any events coming up where you might need the furniture. I was not told or given any dates. I can not always move customers dates around it would not be fair to other customers. I was not told until the end of the job the complete details of the need for the chair. Again I do apologies if there where any misunderstandings that was not my intentions. I do hope I will get the chance to work with you again in the future.

When Vitian picked up the settee and chairs on 10/10/11, she spent a lot of time helping me choose fabric for the pieces. When they were not ready when she had projected, she called with an update. She delivered them on 12/13/11, and I was very happy with the work. Vitian is very jovial and friendly but professional.

Vitian arrived promptly, listened carefully to what we wanted done to our old Morris chair, showed us sample fabrics, gave us an estimate, handled the paperwork, and took away the chair, all on the first visit. She is very adept at using technology to handle her business matters. She took a photo on her cell phone and sent us a copy of the estimate by email. She mailed us a sample of the fabric we had chosen to confirm our choice. The work was done on time and in exactly the way we specified. We are delighted with our old chair that is just like new and were glad to find someone who could do the upholstery work and repair the frame. Vitian is highly professional and great to do business with.

Vitian responded to my online quote request the very next day and arrived on time at my place. I absolutely have nothing bad to say about my experience with Vitian except that she quoted me $200 more than someone else.
Description of Work: I met with Vitian to get an estimate for a chair that I was looking to have upholstered. Although Vitian was extremely professional and seemed to offer a quality finished product, I decided to go with another upholsterer that I found on Angie's List (Heritage Fabric and Design Center). The only reason why I decided to do so is that Heritage Fabric and Design Center quoted the work $200 cheaper than Vitian. Conclusion: I guess if I had an extra $200 kicking around I would have been happy with Vitian...

The owner herself arrived, helped select the fabric and priced the work on the spot. She also then took the furniture with her in her van after loading it with my help. She promised 6 weeks but it took maybe 7-8 weeks but work was completed. She delivered the three pieces at the time promised, helped me carry them inside, The workmanship was excellent and all is well done. She is efficient and can process payments readily on the spot as well as secure the necessary quote for a job. Based on another quote for the same work, Vitian's was about 2/3 of that price.
