Description of Work: Nancy has reupholstered several items for us. When a communication glitch resulted in a finished product we were not satisfied with, she immediately took it back and re-did the job at no-charge. Our satisfaction was primary for her, and she stood by this policy even though we offered to split the cost with her. She is a professional in every sense of the word.

The job was done, and done well. We chose our fabric from those samples that she had in her shop, and were able to bring them home to see how they worked in our setting. She picked up the sofa at our house when she said she would, and delivered it, completed, when she said she would. We are very pleased with the results.
Description of Work: Nancy Sherin is booked about 5 mos. in advance, so one must plan accordingly. In our case, we wanted a late 1940's sofa rebuilt and reupholstered, and time was not particularly a factor. I contacted her in the fall, she told me up front that she couldn't do the job until towards the end of Jan. We accepted her terms and are very pleased.

Nancy said that the shop was booked 5 months out, but because I was in no hurry and because I had had such a hard time finding someone to do the work we made a date to have the work done in January. Then Nancy asked if I would be purchasing fabric from her. Brunswick Reupholstering sells fabric starting at $29, however I already had my fabric. and quot;Just to let you know,and quot; Nancy said, and quot;if I use your fabric, there is an additional cutting fee of $15 per yard.and quot; REALLY? An additional $400 just for cutting my fabric? Mmmmmmm... I don't THINK so!
Description of Work: I contacted Brunswick Reupholstering via email. Nancy replied right away with an estimate for yardage and reupholstery. Having run into a number of dead ends, I appreciated her quick response. The cost of reupholstering my sofa would be approx. $650 - $700 and the estimate for the chaise was $900 -$1,000.

Response from Brunswick Reupholstering Co.
I am very sorry you were upset with my "cutting fee" request. Of course it is never my intention to offend any of my customers. There are important things to note when using a customer's material. Many times the discount house will buy the end of rolls or discontinued fabrics. If, for any reason, we need to get more of this fabric, it is difficult if not impossible to do so. In some cases, there are flaws in the fabric that are not visible until the fabric is unrolled. This requires more labor in placing and cutting patterns for the piece being reupholstered. We do not guarantee the quality of fabric when the customer brings their own. It is easier for us to work with our own fabric suppliers because we are guaranteed of the quality of the fabric. Every reupholster needs to make a profit and when we use a customer's material, there is no profit. In order to stay in business, we must make a profit. The cutting fee is charged to recover the low cost of a fabric sale. Some upholsterers do not charge a cutting fee but rather charge more for labor. It is our intention to keep the labor cost at a minimum.

Description of Work: Overall I'm very happy with my experience with getting an old rocking chair reupholstered that belonged to my great grandfather. I called and left a message on the answering machine and was called back within approximately 30 minutes. When I arrived there were large amounts of fabric samples and with a deposit for the fabric my order was taken. Within about a month's time I received a call from Nancy stating that my chair was ready for pick up. Everything was done above my expectations and Nancy was even able to to fix the bottom of the rocking chair. The only reason that I put a "B" rather than an "A" for pricing is because the total cost was over what the estimate was that I was given. However, to be fair, as stated before, Nancy did have to make repairs to the chair to be able to properly staple the bottom piece of fabric onto the rocking chair. I have no issues with the price that I ultimately paid for the chair and love the chair.

I've waited years and saved my pennies to have new cushions and fabric on my couches and a chair. After a disappointing experience with a business in Augusta I needed this time around to be easy, professional and satisfying. Nancy and Brunswick Reupholstering have gone beyond my expectations in all 3 areas. The work is beautiful. Nancy was more than accommodating in selecting fabric (so much to choose from) and the time frame reasonable. Her website was informative, professional and gave me the confidence to give her a call. She communicates well and promptly. I have (and will continue to) recommended her to others. Thanks Nancy!
Description of Work: I had all new couch cushions made for two small couches and new cushions made for a Morris Chair. The old cushions could not be reused or even used as a model since they were all two small for the pieces to begin with. Lots of great fabrics to choose from. I was able to transport one of the two identical couches and the chair to the shop for measurements and evaluation of rebuilding the cushions from scratch.

Overall it was a very good experience. I picked fabric in September and scheduled the work for January. The owner gave me as much guidance as I requested in the fabric choice but she did not attempt to push me into anything. She called in January as promised to pick up the sofa. I postponed her for a couple of weeks. She was able to reschedule my job to February. My job was finished within the time promised. I could not be more pleased with the work provided. The sofa looks better than it did new. The stripes all match beautifully. The extra pillows are perfect. She was very pleasant to work with. She was always on time. Her price was very reasonable. She did a fantastic job for me. I would highly recommend her.
Description of Work: I had a beloved sofa reupholstered by Brunswick Reupholstering. It is a large 84" sleep sofa over 15 years old which is very comfortable. It was redone in a fabric I picked from the owner's samples with the owner's help. The work included covering additional pillows in a different fabric I provided. She removed the sleep mechanism from the sofa in my home. She picked up and delivered the reupholstered sofa and reattached the sleep mechanism.
