Description of Work: Re-upholstered sofa, loveseat, and 2 chairs. Completed the work before Thanksgiving like scheduled. One chair lacked enough padding in the arms. They came after the holiday and picked up the chair to fix with no questions asked.

Description of Work: Had old couch cushions foam replaced. I had to call them 2 times to find out cushions they had for 5 business days where not done. They did complete the following Monday. No discount was offered for the full weekend delay. I dropped cushions of on a Saturday with the promise they would be done Friday at the latest.

Response from FORTNER UPHOLSTERING INC
[removed member name] I am so sorry you had to wait so long on your cushions. After checking I found out we had to special order the foam as we did not have what we needed for you in stock. What I am more disappointed in is that we did not communicate better. We should have called you to notify you of the delay before even your first call. After talking to our sales staff I have taken steps to assure we do a better job of letting the customer know when there will be a delay. Please except my apology and thank you for your patience. Sincerely Craig Craig Belair Vice President Fortner Upholstering
