OVERALL: Very professional job, tight seams and cording. We recently got brave and started to re-upholster a wing back chair on our own. Shortly we realized we were in over our heads and looked for professional help. After a few calls for help, Kelly at Distinctive Fabrics assured us that they could complete the job if we just brought them all the pieces including the fabric we purchased to do the job. We took the partially dis-assembled chair to them. In four weeks it was done. What a marvelous job! The alignment of the pattern was perfect, fabric, cording and all junctions were smooth and tight. Kelly and her staff saved the extra fabric and the old fabric at our request. Beautiful result, good time frame, good pricing and personable, professional staff. If we have another job, we will certainly put Kelly and her team at the top of the list. Cost = $420 + tax. The only thing lacking: No weekend hours. Business is only open Monday through Friday.

I saw the panels hanging on their front window as a display and was able to purchase them. The fabric was perfect for my room & the sizes also. I got custom panels that were already made and they look great in my home. Great quality fabric (lined) and quality workmanship.

The Bottom Line: We couldn't be happier with the results! Great advice, communication and punctuality. We worked with Kelly, who was simply wonderful, on the fabric selection for a chair, an ottoman, some pillow and cushions that had taken a beating from the sun. My better half and I a re very challenged when it comes to interior decorating and we couldn't have done it without Kelly's guidance. We agreed on the work. Scheduled a time for collection (the team called to confirm the time on the day) and everything was taken care of like a military campaign. Three weeks later, as scheduled, we were called again to confirm delivery and.... the results were even better than we had expected. Highly, highly, recommended.
Description of Work: - Reupholstered cushions, an ottoman and a chair. - Provided assistance with fabric selection.

I received phenomenal service when I visited their location. They assisted me in selecting the right fabric color and type for the welting on my chairs. They also visually showed me how the foam cushions in my chairs was no longer supportive, the seats were starting to show a valley versus a hill, and needed to be replaced. The seats had not be recovered in close to 20 years, so they definitely needed it, but I did not think of that when I brought them in to have them recovered. I am glad they brought that issue to my attention
Description of Work: They removed seat covers that were glued onto 6 dining room chairs and recovered them with fabric that I had already purchased elsewhere. They also refurbished the foam in each seat cushion and installed trim/welting around each seat cushion. I did buy the fabric for the welting through their store. The seat cushions looks beautiful!!!

Ashley was very helpful, spending a long time helping me pick out and decide on a fabric that would coordinate with the backs of my chairs. The company has loads of lovely fabrics from which to choose! Ryan provided the estimate and ensured I received my Angie's List discount. The price was reasonable, and the workmanship impeccable. I highly recommend Distinctive Fabrics and Furniture for any reupholstery project.

This is a family owned business. They were very easy to work with. I had to travel further than I normally do for service. I didn't mind because they did such a good job. They do have a pick up service but I chose not to use it because I was only taking the cushions and an ottoman. They have lots of upholstry samples and I was able to take them home with me. I will definantly use them again.

When my parents passed away, I brought their living room furniture to my house and wanted to use it in my living room. It consisted of a sofa, two matching chairs and an antique chair. They all needed new fabric and cushions. I bought my fabric from Distinctive Fabric with the wonderful help from their staff. They helped me choose just the right fabrics for the pieces that were being reupholstered. I also had them make some new pillows to complement the pieces. They came and picked-up the furniture and delivered it to me when it was finished. They did a beautiful job, and it was finished when promised. They were very professional and helpful. Wonderful experience.
Description of Work: They reupholstered my entire living room furniture.

My experience with Distinctive Fabric was excellent from start to finish. Amy was such a guiding light in helping me find fabrics and then kept me posted on the status of things as we went along. I had a deadline and they were able to beat it. The club chairs and dining room seats look spectacular....I am a very happy customer!
Description of Work: Distinctive Fabric helped me find fabric for my dining room chair seats and two club chairs that needed to be recovered. Also, I ordered a runner for my dining room table.

Called them and asked for a quote for doing upholstery repair for sofa and love seat. I had to get back and remind them. Finally got a quote and even before they looked at the pictures or anything they mentioned they will have to do a complete reupholstery for both sofa and love seat, and the quote was more than the actual purchase price (upper $2k) .

The woman who managed the job was very helpful & knowledgeable, but seemed to lose track of the job after entering the order. The construction of the items was 3 weeks late w/o any calls to indicate they even knew it was due. Installation demonstrated a total failure in their notes. The drapes, made of a heavy material, were hung on a cheap, and too short rod, which has caused problems when opening and closing. The bed skirts require my reconstruction because the skirt was made to hang across the entire foot of both beds. The beds cannot be separated for changing sheets or cleaning. The contractor/designer did provide me extra material to make the changes, but did not offer to remake the skirts.
Description of Work: Measured, designed, made and installed BR drapes, bed skirt/s and pillow shams. Drapes were to be wall to wall, floor to ceiling. Bed skirts were to accomodate two twin beds pushed together, ie, 2 half twin bed skirts with an extra foot width.
