Description of Work: "We paid Tom $55 to come to our home and see what type of recliner repair was needed. He said he didn't think he had that part but would look for it. He came back weeks later and took pictures of the recliner base so he could show it to someone who may have what we needed.Tom was very friendly and kind which is why we were so surprised when we never heard from him again despite leaving 2 voice mails.His ad also says he gives senior discounts but I don't think he gave us one. I don't know what the age range is that he uses. (I'm 62 and my wife is 60.) | I wouldn't refer Tom's Upholstery to anyone. We really thought a service provider screened by Angie's List would be honest,trustworthy and although he was friendly, that didn't fix our recliner. He didn't even show us the respect of telling us whether or not he even looked for the recliner base or not. I think the very least Tom could do after this very unprofessional experience is to refund the money I wasted on work he never did and never kept in contact about it with me. The service call fee is all I believe we owe him because we do not avoid paying our bills and simply want the same courtesy shown to us. Will you please contact me with any update you may have on this issue at any time? Thank you for your help in this matter. Service providers like Tom give Angie's list a bad name even though you did not personally disrespect us by saying one thing then and never following up once they got the money.We appreciate you for looking into this issue. | |Thank you, |Jud Pyle |1902 Bridger Dr. |Mesquite,TX 75149 |(972)285-7553"

Called Tom and he came out the next day. He was fully prepared to repair the couch and did it for a very resonable price. He even gave me a bid while he was here to recover the entire couch if I wanted to do so in the future.
Description of Work: Stiched a hole in a micro fiber couch. Did a great job, was punctual and friendly. I would have him back for repairs anytime.

Tom came, went to work and fixed our chair. He is polite, hardworking and a master at his craft.
Description of Work: We have recliner chairs and 5 grandsons. The two do not mix well. For about 4 years Tom has kept our 4 recliner chairs operational. He has saved us a good amount of money. He was just here fixing a really great chair that had it stuffing worn out. When Tom left it was better thatn new. We love Tom. Bill and Becky Holz

Chair is better than when we originally received it from the retailer. Cushion is firmer, better loft and spring support has been beefed up. We will not go back to the original retailer again because of his indifference. We would recomend Tom's Upholstery without hesitation.
Description of Work: The support (spring) system for the cushion of a Lane reclliner failed and allowed the cushion to droop and come in contact with the recliner tilt mechanism. The resulting tear in the foam cushion forced the person sitting in the chair to slide to the right. We called the supplier of the Lane recliner who could not find a record of our buying the chair bur referred us to Tom's Upholstery for repairs. Tom was able to determine when we bought the recliner and he determined that the guts of the cushion were still covered by warranty. He ordered the foam and repaired the chair and replaced some springs that were missing . Two service calls were needed.

Tom provided service that was way above expectations and at a great price. Tom does not buy the fabric. He wants you to go pick it out. He tells you how much to buy and his estimates are just about right on. I did not believe that he could be so accurate. He told me to get 16 yards for the couch; I got 18 yards to be safe. He provided throw pillows that were not part of the deal and returned 2 yards of material. We had purchased the material and had bought 1 roll that was good and 1 that was bad with out knowing it. Instead of just putting on what we bought he called and said their was a problem and offered to bring the fabric back. Indeed the fabric was not as represented and the store from which we purchased the fabric from made it good. Tom had already started covering the furniture when he discovered the problem and he still did not alter his price. The fabric was $500, Tom charged $1000 for pickup, delivery and covering. I am approximately 60 miles one way from his shop.
Description of Work: Picked up (2) Lazyboy recliners and 1 full size Lazyboy recliner sofa (very heavy). Re covered with fabric that I provided and delivered.

He is a real professional. He took one look at the chair mechanism and knew that it was one of the models that had a faulty mechanism. He ordered a new one and came back out later and repaired the chair. We haven't had anymore problems with the recliner.
Description of Work: He repaired a recliner that was still under warranty (that's why there was no charge to me, he billed Lane Recliners).
