Budget Upholstery is a family-owned business. For 30 years, the refurbish and re-upholstery craft has been handed down from father to son. Owner, David L.

Since 1980, we have repaired hundreds of pieces of furniture and we stand behind each and every one. We are rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau (BBB). We have a good selection of currently available fabrics from which to order. All furniture is restored in a reasonable amount of time. Our average turnaround time depends on the season, and is usually no longer than two to four weeks from when the furniture is picked up. We provide free in-home estimates.

Excellent. He found a piece of leather that almost exactly matched the rest of the chair. In addition to refinshing the seat, he added additional padding. The chair looks and sits great. He did have a backup so it took some time to finish, but that was understood up front.

Never again! I gave them the material and a down payment. When they brought the sofa back the cushions were not sitting flush on the sofa bottom and all the material was gathering. The back cushions were not even and looked like "peaks and valleys." David came out about five days later to look at the job and blamed the material I choose. When I told him "why didn't you tell me you thought the material was "too thick." he replied, "Well that is the material you choose." I don't believe he was under a "gag order." He agreed to cut the back cushions down-they needed repair to be even-but he told me he thought they were too big and needed to be cut down. I told him to go ahead. We then discussed the bullion fringe I had chosen and I told him I was not happy with that. I asked him to make a skirt and he said he would. He said the work would be done in less than a week. After a week went by and I sent a text message he replied that the couch was not ready and he was going fishing. He returned the couch the following week and I was aghast. The same gathering was on all the cushions and the seat cushions were still not laying flat; you can see the bottom of the cushions . When we talked he said I should be "happy!" The same poor quality of work was done the second time and even though he cut down the back cushions the job still looked horrible with gathering. Also, gathering on the new skirt as well. No one is happy with poor quality of work. Either these people cannot do quality work or they do not know what it looks like. I have pictures downloaded on Yelp and Facebook is anyone is interested in seeing them. Stay away!

We have been in business since 1980, I was raise in the upholstery trade. My Dad had a Shop on S. Presa back in 1970’s .As you can see we have received all A Rated Reviews . When this customer gave us a big fat F it hurt me. We did the job twice without charging her and was still complaining. She had bought her fabric online and was a very thick Velvet. This type of fabric is nice when it is applied on a piece of furniture that is a wrap around piece. This piece she had was a piece that had loose cushions and a skirt. When sewing very thick Velvet it is going to leave some wrinkles on cushions and the skirting. Make a long story short, We will always do are best here at Budget Upholstery to make our customer Happy .

Great! David was very helpful in assisting us with our choice of fabric. He was patient and very knowledgeable of the wide variety of colors, styles and types of fabric available. The turn-around time was reasonable and all projects completed within the promised timeline. He and his assistant were prompt, friendly and helpful. We plan to use them again for any future upholstery needs.
Description of Work: All cushions on two couches were re-stuffed to provide firm and more supportive comfort. Two recliners were also completing refurbished and recovered with new fabric.

We have two very old maple and oak framed couches that have significant sentimental value. We have had them upholstered twice before and debated whether or not to just sell them. These couches are "classical" style, but our house is "Western-ranch" so we just assumed they would never fit. We had David and his son come out and look at the two, and David immediately recognized their age, commented on the original Italian workmanship, and noted their good condition. He made several suggestions about color, texture, and price that he thought would enable us to make them fit the rustic style of the home. Plus, he did not try to push the highest price fabrics at all. He took a few weeks, and the price was a little above what we paid previously, but the workmanship was absolutely top notch. He not only reupholstered the two couches but also refurbished and refinished the hardwood framing; the wood work he did really makes the couches "pop." We love what he did, and we now know that the quality was more than worth the price. We are not exaggerating when we say that the couches actually look BETTER than new. Plus, his suggestion on the style and color theme turned out to be perfect for our home! If we need any furniture work done in the future, we will definitely go with Budget.

The finished project was amazing (see before and after photo)! It turned out way better than expected and the craftsmanship is incredible! I highly recommend Budget Upholstery to anyone looking to restore an antique piece of furniture!
Description of Work: We are beyond pleased with Budget Upholstery. They immediately replied with a quote after I texted them photo of our antique couch. The couch was structurally unsound and the fabric was old an worn. The cushions were flat and not supportive. They were able to fix all of the issues and literally give our couch new life! We paid 1800 to fix and reupholster the couch and I think it was worth every single penny! The work was immaculate and well crafted! They had it picked up promptly and completed in 3 weeks and then delivered! I highly recommend them for their fantastic work, attention to detail. It literally turned out better than I could have imagined! I couldn't put a price tag on my new couch I love it that much!

The repair looks great. The original fabric on the sofa which was purchased at Ashley Furniture, however, is poor quality. David, the owner, was very honest about the quality of the original fabric and even though the problem with the fabric was not his responsibility (it came from Ashley and not his shop) he only charged me a fraction of the quoted price. Thank you, David and your staff, for a job well done.

David Huron, the owner was extremely nice, very professional, and gave me an excellent price. The chairs look great and they were finished in half the time he estimated! I can't believe I waited so long to get them reupholstered. It was so easy and much less expensive that I had thought. Don't take your upholstery work anyplace else!

It went great. Mr. Huron came to the house to give an estimate and brought books of fabric choices. He gave advice and options and I decided on the fabrics. The ottoman was an oatmeal fabric color and mightily stained by pets and the chair was a beige linen, also stained. The bar stools' cushions were flat and the fabric also stained. We changed the entire look of the ottoman by redoing it to match a leather couch; the barstools were re-cushioned and reupholstered and Mr. Huron was able to also get the wood refinished for me-they came back looking better than new. The chair turned out beautifully and Mr. Huron was also above to repair some wear on the wood arms. The pricing was reasonable, the work was excellent and Mr. Huron picked up the pieces and brought them back. I highly reccomend Budget Upholstery-they are awesome.

David's son picked up the cushions that we had removed. They ordered the fabric I selected and had them back to us within a week. I was very pleased, and they look great! Thank you! Another place wanted $325 per chair. Ouch!
