Spot on with the estimate on fabric yardage. Both of the chairs and the sets of cushions were a more complicated job. Large bold scale pattern matching for the cushions and double welting and 2 different fabrics for the chairs. Flawless execution. Dellinger's did an awesome job. I'd highly recommend them.
Description of Work: (2) Chairs recovered and cushions recovered for (2) additional chairs

I sent 2 chairs to be reupholstered to Dellinger's based on a recommendation from a friend. They were picked up from my mother's home along with the fabric. The chairs were not upholstered exactly (2 fabrics were used) as agreed (in writing in a text message). When the chairs were brought back I expressed my concern, but thought I could get used to them, and the quality of work was great. About 24 hours later I called Frank and asked they be redone as per the original request. He assured me that he wanted all of his clients happy and would gladly fix them if I would please wait until after the busy Thanksgiving holiday. No problem. After Thanksgiving, there were several unanswered calls and texts. I called and spoke with his father, Larry who again assured me this would be fixed if I could wait until after the busy Christmas season. No problem. It is January 5th and again, no response to calls. Friendly as can be to get your business, but want nothing to do with you after you've paid. And QUITE expensive at that.

Response from Dellinger's Upholstery
These chairs were picked up with no fabric at the time of pickup, and a couple of months later I met Mrs. [Member Name Removed] at a local mart in the Davidson area and picked the two contrasting fabrics up from her at that location, and wrote on a work order how the fabrics were to be applied to the chairs as per her instructions, which I also confirmed via text about 2 weeks later when we were starting on them! Upon completion of the chairs and ottoman I sent Mrs. [Member Name Removed] a text picture of the completed work so she could see the finished product, as she was leaving to go out of town on business, we agreed to deliver the following week upon her return. She did send and text and advised she thought the pattern may be a bit busy on the arms and stated she "thought" we had discussed doing the solid on the arms also, I advised her that I went by the work order that we had written at the local mart during pick up of the fabric, which I might add she purchased and approved!! I along with my dad Larry Dellinger who is the owner of the business, and has over 60 years of experience, have both spoken with Mrs. [Member Name Removed] on several occasions and have expressed our willingness to make every possible attempt to make the chairs to her liking, but there would be a cost in this process, because we would have to pick up and redo the chairs and re deliver them which did not seem to be a problem. We have spoken with her as early as last week and up until now there seemed to be no problem, as we both agreed due to the holiday rush on my end and the non urgency on hers that after the first of the year would be fine, she stated she had a new home warming party coming in the month of January we agreed to get them before then. As far at the price I think the 350 per club chair is VERY fair when it comes to market value and quality of work we provide!! As far as unanswered texts and calls they have all been answered and responded to as I still have all of our correspondence saved in my cell phone, so as far as the no communication goes it seems there is miscommunication on the home dwellers side. Again we would have been glad to re do the chairs to Mrs. [Member Name Removed]'s liking but that is not always possible as this situation shows. Also the work was not delivered until November 14th at 12:30pm because the new construction was not complete, this was at the customers request work had been complete for several weeks.

They are very good. A little pricey but they do excellent work. They did an awesome job. The chair had a quilt type thing and it was very intricate. They just took a long time to do it. I just recommended them to someone else.

Description of Work: Larry Dellinger is the owner - all dealings with Larry were great. I had a Clayton Marcus sofa and two chairs and ottomans recovered. They were done when Larry said they would be and delivered when he said he would. It was a painless experience - Larry provided Pick up and delivery and fabric calculation as well. He is a true professional of the trade.

The price they provided was fair for the upholstery work and pick up and delivery. However, they failed to hold up their promise to pick up the recliner. I would have preferred they told me up front about the pick up instead of promising to come and pick up the chair. I wasted three weeks waiting on them. I have found another upholstery provider in my area that will provide the service I need. I contacted them because I had work done in the past with excellent results. Needless to say, I wasted time waiting on them.
Description of Work: Provider promised three (3) times to pick up a recliner for upholstery work. The last phone call was when they finally admitted they could not pick up the recliner, but I could bring it to them if I wanted. Provider stated I was in their service area for pick up and delivery.

I call Mr. Dellinger and ask how much fabric I will need to buy to cover my chair, sofa etc. He gives me the total amount and when the fabric comes in, he comes to our home and picks up the furniture and the fabric. The furniture is usually finished in about 2 weeks. He then delivers it and places it in our home. He has always been prompt and the furniture is beautiful.
Description of Work: Mr. Dellinger has reupholestered most of the furniture in our home over a 12 year period. I am looking forward to using him to recover several pieces of furniture from my parent's home. He was very prompt in responding to the amount of fabric I needed to purchase. We are very pleasedd with the quality of his work.

Everything went well and they were prompt and efficient in getting the work done and the items back to us.
Description of Work: We used Dellinger's Upholstery to upholster a club chair, make a 13 x 2 feet window seat, make throw pillows and replace cushions for a sofa. They did very good work and we will use them again. In fact, I plan to have them cover another chair for me.

Mr. Dellinger set a pickup time, and was punctual. He also re-upholstered the sofa in a timely fashion, although I was not in any particular hurry. I requested new cushions and 5 large pillows to be made for the sofa back, along with arm covers (sleeves). This was all done beautifully and exactly as I had requested. This is an antique sofa, going back at least to my great-grandparents and was missing a decorative piece from the center front. Mr. Dellinger returned the piece with a replacement piece that was almost identical to the two that were already there ~ for free. First-rate work indeed.

Dellinger's is great! They picked up the chair when they said they were going to. They returned it when they said they were going to. Their work was excellent, and they even found a crack in the frame of the chair which they mended at no additional charge. Overall, very easy to work with.

Very nice on the initial call and said he would pick up on Tuesday at 2PM. At 1:45 he called and said he was running late. That was over 2 weeks ago. He will not return my calls. I even asked him to call me if he did not have time to do this job so I could find someone else. Nothing! Very poor!

CALLED DELLINGER'S TO MAKE AN UPHOLSTERED HEADBOARD, LARRY QUOTED A PRICE OF $325. HE STATED IT WOULD TAKE 14 DAYS TO MAKE/DELIVER. HE WAS PROMPT IN PICKING UP THE FABRIC. THAT'S WHERE THE PROMPTNESS ENDED. I WAITED TO HEAR THAT MY HEADBOARD WAS READY; HEARD NOTHING. I PHONED AND LEFT A MESSAGE AND HEARD BACK THAT HIS SCHEDULE BECAME BUSY. HE ASKED FOR 2 MORE WEEKS. AGAIN I WAITED; HEARD NOTHING. THIS TIME WHEN I CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGES, I DIDN'T GET A CALL BACK. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO REACH A LIVE PERSON BY CALLING EARLY IN THE MORNING AND FOUND OUT THAT WORK HAD NOT YET BEGUN (60 DAYS LATER.) I WAS TOLD HE WOULD START WORKING ON IT AND DELIVER 2 DAYS LATER. DID NOT HAPPEN. I CALLED EARLY AGAIN, GOT ANOTHER REASON WHY THE WORK HAD NOT BEEN DONE. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD GET A CALL BACK THAT DAY. DID NOT HAPPEN. I FEEL DELLINGER'S HAS BEEN GIVEN EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO DELIVER ON THE SERVICE PROMISED, BUT HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE AND HAVE DECIDED TO WORK WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
