When I purchased my house, I needed to replace all the shades since they were dusty and dirty. I reached out to Rob and started asking questions and getting some recommendations. He was always responsive and helpful. After looking over the website and picking out some colors and styles, Rob had samples sent to my house. Being able to hold up the samples to the windows and get a feel for them was great. Ordering was easy and delivery was quick. I even had a small problem with the size of one of the windows and Rob was able to remedy the problem quickly. I would recommend him highly to anyone looking to update the look of their home.

Very well. Worked directly with a principal in the firm. They provided a large range of fabric suppliers to choose from, with direct access to fabric showrooms thus enabling us to review the largest possible selection of materials. The work was done on time; the installation was done cleanly and extremely professionally. Their guidance and advice was helpful and direct throughout. they were a pleasure to deal with. Will use the company again without doubt.
I have used this company many times over the years and have never been disappointed.

Estimates were submitted in a timely fashion and queries answered within a day. The work required had to 'join the line' for other work already in progress but they give you a pretty reliable completion date before you commit so you can decide. They are courteous and take pains to ensure that you and they understand the look you are trying to achieve and will give you an estimate of how much fabric is needed. I highly recommend their work

Excellent. Brulhardt Brothers can give access to the fabric stores in the D&D building. They showed me sample cushions to choose from. The picked up timely and delivered timely. The upholstery work is excellent. A pleasure to deal with. Cost depends on cost and yardage of fabric, so it is hard to give a number. I thought it was fair.

I cannot recommend Brulhardt more highly. I dealt with Jan Brulhardt who answered all of my questions promptly and in a helpful manner from beginning to end. The work done was excellent and completed in the time frame promised. I was very lucky to have chosen Brulhardt for the job following research on Angie's List.

The company did a terrific job reupholstering my wing chair. They are not currently associated with a fabric provider, but I found it convenient and non-pressured to order fabric samples through Decorators Best, with adequate time to select what I wanted. They aligned the design perfectly all around. (I myself hadn't even realized that there was a pattern to be aligned!) They also updated the "drape" of the fabric covering the front-facing ends of the armpieces, which makes the chair look elegant. They were flexible about the timing of the work. I don't have enough of this kind of work done to have an idea of relative costs. However, I selected this company after they did a similarly fantastic job replacing the venetian blinds in two rooms.

Everything went wonderfully. We had the following things done: 1. FIoor-to-ceiling Curtains: Rob fabricated beautiful, 100% lined, ripple-fold curtains (center split), provided the track and hardware to hang them, and completed the installation himself. 2. Queen Dustruffle: Corner & Center Pleats Rob is professional, and very good at what he does. My curtains and my dustruffle are exactly what I wanted. I am very pleased with the work and would certainly use him again in a heart beat. He is also honest and appropriately priced considering the quality of the work you'll get with Rob. Highly recommended.

We could not be more pleased!! Our dining chairs are better now than when we purchased them! They are so comfortable and look fantastic!! We needed a solution to our sofa cushions sagging. Jan knew right away it wasn't the cushions but the frame. He created a support under the cushions and the sofa now is very comfortable! We are so pleased the the work! Jan is very courteous, punctual, knowledgeable, and did everything he said he would do, when he said he would do it! We highly recommend him!!

It could not have gone better. Jan is wonderful to deal with. He came on time to measure. He measured both chairs for cushions and did not assume that they would be the same. He did a great job and delivered on time. I like his work so much that I am about to have him do some more work for me. An excellent experience.

Jan Brulhardt, who handled this job, couldn't have been better. He arrived when he said he would, repaired the chair and returned it on time. As a wooden component had actually split, the work was probably a bit more challenging than it seemed at first. Mr. Brulhardt was completely professional in every way. The price he charged, $125 including pickup and delivery, was totally fair. Over the phone, a competitor quoted a considerably higher price. I would recommend this service without hesitation. It's easy to see why its ratings are so high and I thank Angie's List for steering me to it.
