I emailed the company and they got right back to me and offered to quote me a price if I provided pictures. I sent them that same evening and within a day I had a quote that was an excellent price. When I am ready to have the couch re-uphostered, I will certainly be using them.

I inherited some wonderful pieces of furniture from my parents that really needed to be updated. The fabric was ordered through a decorator I used in Florida. After viewing the positive comments from satisfied clients on Angie's List and viewing the photo's on their website, I called and arranged the work to be done by Blawnox. Both Miranda and her husband were wonderful to deal with. On pickup day they were very punctual and took very good care of the items to be reupholstered. About 2 weeks later, much sooner than promised, they delivered the completed pieces. I was speechless! The work they did was exquisite. The two barrel chairs matched perfectly and the piping was very well done. The print on the chaise lounge was also placed perfectly and the piping, again, was perfect. The same for all the dining room chairs and bench. Photo's of some of the work they completed for me are posted on the website. See for yourself. Their work is so well done that giving them just an A doesn't do them justice. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

All of our work has been completed in a timely fashion. The team goes above and beyond to ensure that we have our pieces as quickly as feasible, and the quality of work is tremendous. We had one piece that needed to be resurfaced, as there was visible seam. It was promptly repaired and returned with no additional charge. We will recommend their work, and continue to use the company for all of our upholstery needs.
Description of Work: My family had used Brindle's Upholstery in the past, and when my husband and I moved into our new home, we turned to Gary and the team at Blawnox Upholstery. The Yumaks are the most polite and professional individuals, and the crew that supports the workshop is tremendous. In the last year we have had Miranda and the BU team reupholster hand carved dining chairs, Bergere arm chairs, cornice boards, and occasional chairs. We have also had custom bench cushions and pillows made for various areas of the home. Miranda even figured out a way to make me a custom changing pad to fit the architects desk we converted into a changing table for our little one. In short, Blawnox Upholstery is not only excellent, but EXCEPTIONAL! They have a broad range of fabrics and trim, as well as beautiful wallpapers. We are doing some interior renovations, and will be ordering our new Thibaut wallcovering from Miranda in September.

They were huge cushions for our window seat. They were always very polite and timely. They worked within the time frame that they had told us at all points. They made them once, but they didn't fit the curve of our bunch very well, so they remade the entire cushions at no additional charge. They brought the cushions back to the house and took measurements. They did a great job overall. They were wonderful.

I met her at the home and garden show and she had a nice display there. She seemed like a nice person. She told me that I should send her pictures and she would do a quote on the internet. I haven't gotten that done yet. I think it will probably cost over $2,000 and I will probably get a total of 3 estimates.

They were very helpful from the begining. I went in several times to look at fabrics before placing my order. They were alwys very helpful and helped point me towards fabrics that would wear well and match the look I wanted. Once the couch was delivered, I decided I wanted down cushions instead of foam, so they were able to make new inserts for me. I will be going back to have 2 chairs re-upholstered. They were great to deal with and very accomodating.
Description of Work: I had a couch custom made and upholstered along with 4 throw pillows. I chose from the fabrics they have - which is a very large selection. They made me a couch, upholster it in one fabric and then did a contrasting piping along all the edges. Made 4 throw pillows, one with a fringe around it.

I brought very high end material samples that I had originally selected (and loved) for another upholsterer to redo my furniture but I had decided not too go with him after it took him an entire year to finish two chairs from my father's estate. I showed the fabric to Miranda and fortunately they had the same sample books in their show room that I had chosen the fabric from. I placed the order and the furniture was picked up from my home in a week. Less than 3 weeks later it was returned and was absolutely beautiful. The furniture was placed where it belonged and looked like it had alway lived in my house! My parents had stored two children's rockers in their basement for the day that my sons had children. After 30 years, I had forgotten that they even existed but in cleaning out my father's house after his death I found them and took them to Miranda to see if they could be salvaged. She helped me choose an animal print and in 2 weeks I picked up the most precious chairs. When I gave them to my daught-in-law I suggested that she put them away until the twins could use them. She took them home and immediately put them in thier play room because she liked them so much.
Description of Work: I had my 108 inch sofa, two end chairs, 6 dining room chairs upholstered. The dining room chairs were also covered in clear plastic.They also made 7 decorator pillows from the same materials that I had chosen that complemented the different pieces. Several weeks later, I had two children's rockers re-upholstered for my new twin granddaughters.

The price was extremely reasonable. The work was great and the folks are great too. We would go back and recommend them.
Description of Work: We have a couch that is all cushions on a wooden frame and the fabric on all of the cushions had worn out. The folks at Blawnox, and particularly Miranda, were extremely patient as we searched through fabrics trying to find just the right one. She worked vary hard to help and provided really helpful advice about care and durability. When we finally made our choice they finished the cushions quickly (even in the midst of "Snowmageddon") and the cushions are like new.

I got him from Angie's List and he was excellent. They came out to give me the estimate because I could not take the chairs to them. They gave me a price for the labor because I had picked up materials from another company which did not bother him in the least. They were able to finish the work in a very short period of time and I was not ready for the chairs to come back yet, so, they kept them in the showroom window and a lot of people wanted to buy them. It really turned out be very beautiful. They could not match the fabric exactly for the dining room chair, but, it is so close that if they had not told me, I would not have noticed.

Because I do not drive, Miranda brought fabric samples to me at my home, which was a huge help. We had conferred about my tastes over the phone and via email before hand, and I knew what I wanted, so this was not too difficult. If I had needed more guidance I think she would have been most helpful. I had a budget which she helped me keep within. When the furniture was delivered the white couch got some dirt on it coming thru my front doorway. The owner of the company scheduled Airport ChemDry Cleaners to come and clean the couch at his expense and my convenience. He said that if the stains did not come out he would reupholster the entire couch again, at no cost. I was floored. Happily, Airport ChemDry did a miraculous job (I would use them again) and my white furniture is once again looking great.
Description of Work: I had a massive, seven foot long couch and a chaise recovered in white duck fabric with contrasting blue piping on all seams.

They were very friendly and told me how the process would go. I picked out fabric. They allowed me to take samples home. They picked up the chairs. The work was done quickly. They did what they said they would do and the chairs look very nice. I'm not an expert at picking fabric so it would have been nice if they could offer more advice but that's the way it goes.

First of all we would like to extend sincere apologies to this customer for the lack of communication on her upholstery pieces. Unfortunately the fabric company did not convey to us that the fabric the customer chose and we ordered was on back order. We are known for completing the job on or before the date give to the customer.

They were very good. We had got another quote but Brindle Upholstery's price was very reasonable. It was the most trouble free and hassle free work with them. They fixed up the house and they were one of the few who did what they said they would do. We had a very nice interaction with them and I am very much pleased with them.

They were helpful and nice to work with. They were helpful in choosing materials and were patient for my decision. They helped us to get our sectional out of the home, which as nice. The sectional looked good, other than the seats being too soft. He redid it for me and put in some harder foam. There are still a couple of things that I am concerned about, but I haven't decided whether or not I want them redone yet.

It has been a pleasure to work with you. Since you posted your survey we contacted you and hopefully addressed the concerns you had with your cushions. Your sectional sofa looks great with the fabric you chose and is a perfect fit for your home décor. Please let us know if we can help you with anything else.

Mr. Yumak and his team did great work on a custom-made loveseat for my sitting room. I met with his designer to select a fabric and to browse through numerous photos of furniture styles to help me choose what I wanted. Before I knew it, he was calling to tell me the loveseat was completed -- 2 weeks ahead of schedule! It's a great piece that stands up to my kids (and dog) and looks beautiful as well.

I cannot recommend this company enough! The workmanship was beautiful, the price was extremely reasonable, I received a 20% discount on the fabric which I did not even have to ask for. I mentioned at the beginning that I found them on Angie's List, and when I ordered the fabric Mr. Yumak brought up the 20% discount. I waited so long to have my chairs reupholstered because I did not know where to go, and I had heard so many stories of people being taken advantage of. Other's recommendations of Brindle Upholstery led me to have the work done, and I am SO GLAD I did. This company is outstanding, and I cannot recommend Mr. Yumak enough. I have a lovely French couch and a wing chair that I am going to bring to him and have reupholstered after the holidays. If I could give him an A plus I would.
Description of Work: I had six dining room chairs reupholstered and one of the chairs needed a minor repair. I looked for fabric on my own but was not sure what to purchase. I went to their showroom (it was very easy to find), and found a tremendous assortment of fabrics. They also gave me advice on what type of fabric to purchase and the how to look for the category of "double rub" which indicated strength of fabric. There was absolutely no pressure to purchase from them, but I did so because I found the perfect fabric for my chairs. Mr. Yumak picked up my chair and the cushions, and I have never met or dealt with a more polite, respectful and accommodating merchant. He promised the chairs in a week and he was as good as his word. The chairs had new foam put on them, the pads of course were covered and there was a welting on the top of the cushion as well as the bottom. They were absolutely beautifully done!!!!!

I purchased my own material and he helped me to know exactly how much I needed and if the material was appropriate for residential use. He finished all the chairs in about a week and I requested that he hold on to them, until I was finished refinishing my floors and the mess was all cleaned. He did this without any issues. While he was holding onto my chairs, he placed them in his show room and clients offered many compliments. I very pleased with how everything turned out and so was he.

I was more than pleased with this company. The guys were so professional; and friendly as well! I couldn't get over how fair the price was. This was probably because I had read one customer report that stated they didn't use Brindle's because their quote was too expensive. Perhaps they didn't do their homework! Not only did the chairs turn out really well, but they also made some arm covers for a minimal charge (if you have cats you know how invaluable arm protectors can be). They finished the chairs right on schedule and gave me white glove service in bringing the chairs to my home and into the living-room. The price of redoing the two chairs (including my own fabric) was way less than buying new chairs. I feel like they are new chairs! Check this company out. You'll be pleased, I'm sure. I'm now considering my next project for them.
Description of Work: Brindles Upholstery re-upholstered two large easy chairs. I used my own fabric (they had no problem with that). I also asked if they could make extra protective arm and seat covers to use daily as a cat defense. They kindly obliged. They picked up and delivered the finished chairs.
