All went as expected. We dropped off chair, they told us when it was ready and how much it would cost. Because we were in the process of moving, they agreed to keep the chair till our move was completed. Happy to have the 50-year-old "memory" back.

These people are great to work with. The lady in charge is friendly, knowledgeable, and efficent. She helped me choose good materials and kept in touch during the projects. The work, itself, is first rate. I plan on having them back to slip cover the sofa.
Description of Work: I had one chair recovered and two custom seat pads made for a pair of antique chairs. I bought the fabric for both projects from Solano's, too.

One of the dining room chairs I had shipped via UPS from Illinois had been damaged in transmit. The leg was broken clean through. Solano came out to my house and took the chair back to their shop to assess what was needed for the repair. They called shortly thereafter and said that the leg would have to be completely replaced. Since the leg runs up the entire length of the chair, I had anticipated this. I agreed to the work, and they replaced the leg. When they brought the chair back, I was flabbergasted; I couldn't even tell that the new leg was new. They had completely matched the stain of the wood, completely matched the curved leg to the original. It was flawless and perfect. I was so pleased! Now I am thinking about asking them to repair an inherited cedar chest. Will definitely use them again!!

Having received several chairs from my mothers home which needed updated upholstery as well as re upholstering two chairs to fit with a basement remodel, I had Solanos do this work on three separate occassions over the course of 12 months. Each time I received timely return of my calls with pricing that I considered competive. (The rocking chair price seemed high relative to the cost of a new one but this had sentimental value to me) Densi from the shop on 4th street was particularly helpful picking out wood stain colors as well as giving me good estimates on fabric length as in each case I provided the fabric. Solanos picked up and delivered the chairs as scheduled carrying them in and out of my house. In each case the chairs were well re-upholstered with tight seams and proper matching of the pattern. I continue to get compliments on how nice the chairs look and feel. Years ago I had solano create a window seat cushion and two bolster pillows. There was an issue with the cushion not fitting correctly and Solanos fixed this at their cost. I am running out of furniture to reupholster but Solanos is my go to company when I have that need.

Solano's does excellent work. I had used them previously to re-cane two chairs for me and the work was excellent. I wanted to refinish my more than 40 year old dining room table which had seen better days. It was nicked, had water stains and marks and nicks in the legs. The table looks brand new and should last for another 40 years. I would definitely use them again.

They held my chair for a week, then told me they could not finish it. Upon return I told them I would not be home until after 1 pm. I got home early and found my heavy 40 pound chair sitting on my front porch. It took 2 men to get it out and they left it for me to drag it back in alone. I am an older lady and this was really disappointing to me.

Description of Work: Solano refinished two pieces of Ethan Allen cherry furniture for me. They picked up and delivered on a timely basis. The quality of their work was exceptional and their pricing very fair. There is no doubt I would highly recommend their services and would use them again in an instant.

They gave me excellent service. They called me right back, they made an appointment and when they said they were gonna come out, they came out on time. Since then, I've used them again. I like everything about their services. Customer service was great, their prices were very comparable to other prices, in fact they were a little cheaper and the work was excellent. I have referred them to family and friends.

My reupholstered chair is beautiful! Solano's did not have a fabric that I liked, so I bought my own fabric elsewhere, but they were very helpful in providing recommendations on where to find what I needed.

Solano's sent someone to the house to look at the sewing machine and give me an estimate. After picking up the machine they kept me informed of finish dates and then delivered the machine to me. Good communication.
Description of Work: Great job refinishing a pedal powered sewing machine. Solano's refinished the wooden cabinet. re-assembled drawers that had fallen apart over time and cleaned up the metal frame (I did not ask Solano's to refinish the metal). The people were friendly and helpful. I would use Solano's again.

We sent our couch to have it re upholstered. The company did a great job of being on time for the estimate, pick up, and delivery of the couch. The only issue that we have is that when they delivered the couch it came with out the cushions. The company said they had to order more fabric for the cushions. They told us that they would get those back as soon as possible. I haven't heard back from them since. They wont answer my calls and their voicemail is full. I have tried their other office as well and I get the same thing. I can understand if something has happened and they can't get to the office but I would have been happy with a courtesy call letting us know what was going on.

We inherited a wonderful chair that was terribly uncomfortable to sit in. Then, one day, my sister sat in the chair and the legs broke! Solano's came and gave an estimate (very reasonable) for the repair. We approved their plan, and they took the chair away! Later that afternoon, I received a call to tell us how unique the chair is...very valuable and a wonderful chair. I learned about the craftsmanship, but, they said, it would take another few days to fix the chair. Still, everything was OK...Within a week, the chair was fixed and returned. They did a marvelous job, and now I have a new appreciation for my grandfather's chair.
Description of Work: Solanos repaired a very old chair (with arms). They fixed the legs, reinforced the bottom and added stuffing on the seat.

Called for a free estimate and they came out to look at within 1-2 weeks. Approved the estimate and provided a deposit on the spot. The chairs were taken that day. I received the chairs probably 4 weeks later, since I still had to select and purchase the fabric for the larger chair. I selected the fabric about two weeks later and brought it to the shop on 4th Street. The woman at the shop was very pleasant. The chairs were delivered approximately 2 weeks after that during a snow storm. The delivery was delayed a 1 1/2 hours due to the storm, but they called to let me know and they were right on time.
Description of Work: Upholstered two chairs. One small desk chair with upholstered seat and small upholstered back (2 sides). Upholstered and rebuilt the bottom of one larger antique lounge chair. Upholstery included new seat and back cushions and new foam in arms. The upholstery wrapped the sides and back of the chair as well.
