Alamo was easy to work with. They came highly recommended. A small shop in my neighborhood. Very nice people. More importantly, they did a great job making sure the imagery on the fabric was placed the way I wanted it. Their recommendations were great. Good price.

There wasn't enough for the job, but Alamo found a perfect synthetic match for the side panels. They get the work done quickly, before out of town guests arrived!

Wonderful people. Excellent workmanship. Fair price. We will use their services again when we recover our living room wingback chairs.

My experience with them was great. They were fast. In fact they speeded up their regular timetable because I needed it quickly. They are really nice people to work with. They are very responsible. They came and took the couch away and brought it back and they were just really careful about moving it and they did a really good job. It was not just upholstering in terms of the fabric on the outside, but they also completely redid all the foam and different layers of padding on the couch. I would definitely recommend them.
Description of Work: I used the services of Alamo Custom Upholstery in June 2010. They reupholstered a couch.

Very positive experience from the estimate to delivery of our beautifully reupholstered davenports. Very courteous, prompt service; very helpful and informative (regarding the process they would use and things they could do to make the furniture more comfortable); provided pictures of the gutted couches and the work performed on the spring system. They reinstalled the brass name plates and kept the original recessed casters (as I requested) while installing new casters to slightly raise the frames off the floor. We have two other pieces we are looking forward to having them do in the future.
Description of Work: reupholstering/rebuilding of two davenports from the 1940's I provided the fabric.

They did a great job recovering my favorite BIG old chair and ottoman. Delphina gave me an estimate over the phone but I had a feeling it would be a bit more once she saw the size of the chair. I was right but she only increased the price by around $50. I provided the fabric which I bought at a fabric outlet store. Altogether I was impressed by the price and the quality of the work. They put in extra zippers so that even the throw pillows can be washed. And piping along the edges which adds a nice touch. They also added some foam and batting. It's like a brand new chair. When they ran short of my fabric, they found a great match for under the seat cushion at no extra charge. I also get the feeling that if I had not been satisfied they would have worked to fix the problem. They even give you before, during and after photos. It was cool to see the bones of the chair. Supporting these at home/shop upholsters is a great thing to do. Don't go to a big shop, pay twice as much and wait twice as long. I'm happy and I love my chair! It's beautiful.
Description of Work: Recovered a large chair and ottoman.

Smooth as glass. The owner, his wife and one of his sons came by the same day that I called, appraised the work to be done, took a deposit, put the sofa in their truck and promised it would be repaired and returned within a week. It was finished and returned in three days.
Description of Work: Alamo repaired the under-carriage of a quality, Crate & Barrel sofa. Several of the elements of the spring system had come loose and were sticking through the bottom of the couch. Alamo rebuilt the wooden frame, re-attached the spring system and replaced the fabric material which covered the underneath, making it better and stronger than new. No muss, no fuss. Great to work with. They had a positive attitude and were very courteous.

Delphina and Eusebio Lona are so easy to work with and never took us for granted as repeat customers. Our sofa happened to be featured in an Oregonian article because the paper asked Alamo to let them know when they had their next sofa project (http://www.oregonlive.com/hg/index.ssf/2009/03/sofa_rehab_101_5_ways_to_get_a.html). When we asked them to work on the $20 garage-sale-rocker they suggested leather and we couldn't be happier. In fact I paid more than they asked because they'd done some extra work to rehab the wood. They are reasonable and the quality of work is consistently outstanding. I recommend them completely!
Description of Work: Alamo has completed many pieces for the John Palmer House (EIGHT pieces of furniture and a kitchen window seat). The furniture was all vintage or antique. Each piece has different fabric and some were quite complicated. The chaise, for instance, has 4 types of fabric and fringe and (see photo) the fabric placement is perfect. The window seat required some problem solving and original design on their part.

Alamo did a wonderful job, and the covers were ready in two days.
Description of Work: I asked this company whether they would take apart my sofa cushion covers, remove the worn welting, and then reassemble them. Three other firms turned me down. Alamo was happy to do the work.

Description of Work: Re-upholstered 4 chair cushions in the "box" style. (with zippers and the "piping" along the edges.)

It was sometimes hard to reach them by phone. Be persistent. Free pickup and delivery! Good people to work with.
Description of Work: This family run company provides quality workmanship at a fair price. They recovered my sleeper sofa in leather, gave me good advice about where to get the hides (Oregon Leather), and rebuilt the couch from the frame up, replacing everything, adding plusher stuffing, improving the lines of the couch. Their calculations were off and they were short on leather, so as an emergency fix, they found vinyl to match, with an offer to re-do with additional leather later. (I needed the job done in time for out of town guests' arrival).

They were very friendly and offered me a variety of options in regards to firmness for the cushion material. I left the cushion cover with them, and within a few days they had the new insert ready to go.

They gave me an estimate over the phone that was substantially less than the overall job cost, but once they saw the cushions and discussed in detail what I was seeking, they suggested various changes. I wanted firmer cushions, and they suggested that foam core with down surround would probably be firmer, so we negotiated the thickness and firmness of the foam--they had various samples. One surprise was that they wanted me to supply the down, so I bought 10 of the cheapest feather-filled pillows I could find at a large-box chain store. The couch cushions came out exactly as I wanted, but the chair cushion felt overstuffed, so I took it back and they removed some of the down at no extra charge.
Description of Work: They replaced the stuffing in 1 chair cushion and 3 couch cushions, and replaced the cloth case containing the down in one of these cushions (the old one had failed).

These are such nice people! They are a mom and pop upholstery service run out of their home in North Portland. I bought the leather off of eBay and then they reupholstered and delivered the chair. I also had 2 other small items repaired by them. The quality of work is good and I truly recommend supporting this shop.

Alamo was terrific! The family came to our house with stacks of fabric books so we could choose fabrics in our lighting/furniture context. Once we decided on a fabric, they picked up the slipper chair and took it with them. Three weeks later, they delivered both the slipper chair and the custom headboard, which was built exactly to specifications.
Description of Work: Alamo reupholstered a slipper chair from the 1890s and also built and covered a custom-designed, upholstered headboard.

LOVELY FAMILY BUSINESS. IT'S LOCATED IN A HOME WITH THE ENTRANCE ON THE SIDE STREET. SMALL DOOR TO THE BASEMENT WITH A TINY SIGN SO DON'T MISS IT! THERE WERE LOTS OF WORKS IN PROGRESS WHICH WERE MUCH MORE COMPLICATED THAN MY LITTLE PILLOW; SOFAS AND SEVERAL CHAIRS. I GOT MY PIECE BACK IN THREE DAYS AND IT WAS MUCH BETTER THAN I EXPECTED AND INCREDIBLY REASONABLE!
Description of Work: I HAD A OTTOMAN CUSHION RE-DONE. I PROVIDED THE TOP PART OF THE FABRIC, AND THEY FOUND A NICE BACKING FOR ME.
