+ 0 moreThey did a fantastic job, both repairing one couch and on reupholstering our second. Jad pointed out all of the places on our loveseat that could be improved, like fixing the stuffing in the arms of the chair, even though I’d only initially asked for it to be reupholstered. He didn’t charge me to redo the throw pillows, and in all did a great job. I cannot recommend this business highly enough, and look forward to using them in the future.
Description of Work: Fixed a torn couch, and reupholstered a loveseat.

+ 1 moreI had a scheduled time to bring my chair for a quote. It was nice to have the scheduled time that was just for me and my project. Jad was very upfront and fully honest with me and my project and the cost. He took the time to show what me what supplies he would use! It was amazing to have a person who was willing to take the time and care for my project. It was very helpful and insightful for what was needed. Everyone who works here is very well knowledgeable and helpful. It is worth the time to be in person with this wonder man, family, associates, and business. My future furniture projects, repairs, and anything he offers I will always choose to come to A & Jad! Hands down best service and quality you can get.

+ 0 moreI had a terrible experience with this company. I wanted to get some scratches repaired on an old piece of furniture. I brought the piece to this shop for an in-person price quote. First, the owner accused me of lying about how the piece got damaged. Then, he advised me to just push it up against a wall in order to hide the damage. When I told him that I wanted to take my business elsewhere, our conversation devolved into him shouting at me and accusing me of being cheap. I was absolutely shocked by his behavior and I will never go this business again.

furniture repair
+ -1 moreThis was such a great experience. After the passing of my in-laws we became the owner of 2 camel saddles that my father-in-law purchased in Egypt in 1965. They were really cool and we used them as ottomans and seats but the leather on the seats was in terrible condition, the wood was very dull and the leather straps were broken and falling off the saddle. Jad looked at them and gave us an estimate. Jad and his wife were so friendly and helpful while we were choosing the fabric to cover the seats. We picked them up 3 weeks later and they look fantastic. They had to reconstruct the seats and tie off the loose leather straps. This was a great experience because we got great work done but also because we met a wonderful family who is very dedicated to each job they do. In the future, I will choose them for any furniture restoration job.

Description of Work: Jad rescued a 1930s chaise lounge from flat, sprung, age-mustiness, took it down to bare frame, and turned it into the fine piece now gracing my living room. You know, the one everyone says 'ooh!' and immediately flops down on. | |It started with a phone conversation with him without any previous interaction or introduction. Have to tell you, Jad is my kind of 'real' person. There's no BS, and he'll state what's of concern right out there. No mincing around, no sucking up to a potential customer. I learned a long, long time ago that the best folks to deal with are the ones who are simply themselves. Who will say what they mean. And do what they say. In this case, his fine, fun wife (who has a great sense of color and what will work for fabrics), and Jad really did just that: explain, offer insight, suggest ways to lower costs, and be the kind of artisans the world could use more of anymore. AND...he and crew finished up the job much earlier than projected! Bonus! | |So, although I don't write these kinds of things, I thought I'd pass on a thumbs-up for them. If you're a fussy, grumpy, don't-want-to-hear-it sort of customer, then I advise you to find a business which supports kissing up. Me? I'll take the kind of quality work which supports my, uh,...real life. ;) And in the real way: care, knowledge, and quality craftsmanship. Next time I have an item which needs some of that, well, maybe we'll bump into one another over at A & Jads.

+ -1 moreJad will give an honest opinion on whether a job is worth doing or not. To have my table and chairs both stripped and refinished would have cost more than I originally paid for the table and chairs. I decided to just have them stripped and do the refinishing myself because the table and chairs are a very good, sturdy construction, much better than a lot of the furniture you see in stores today. He spent a lot of time showing me how to sand the furniture, what materials to use and how to clean it. I'm happy with the results and have sanded the chairs. My next step is to stain them.
Description of Work: Three years ago I made the mistake of having someone who didn't know what they were doing put a stain and polyurethane mix on a dining room table and chairs. Naturally it turned out horrible. Jad stripped (removed the stain) on 4 chairs and is currently doing the dining room table. He found that they had not removed the original wipe on poly under the stain/poly combination which made it a more difficult job.

Description of Work: Had a tribal sumaq rug from Azerbaijan that needed cleaning. Great job in less time than predicted. This carpet had been "washed" for us in country and we already knew it could bleed. It's in great condition. All traces of the dog, spots and hair, are gone.

upholstery cleaning
+ -1 moreHad took forever to strip and refinish a vintage table that was my Mom's. He started at one price and when we were done it was 200.00 more - Not happy about the time nor the price increase - the table was half stripped when he got it and had I been smart I would have never taken it to him in the first place and done it myself!!!! +800.00 - totally not worth the time and money recently took an expensive oriental rug to him for cleaning - he said he could do a better job than Hadeed and that he fixed rugs better than Hadeed could ever do. the rug did have dog stains on it and some moth holes - in his attempt to eliminate the stains he literally bleached the rug and made it turn pink where he used the bleach - the pattern is bleached out in places and as far as I'm concerned the rug is a total loss. I was so upset he offered me a refund which I initially refused, but now have asked for - he won't give a refund stating he did the best he could what a joke - went back on his word to refund money as far as I'm concerned. He took forever to get the rug back - months - and I'm truly sorry I took it to him - Never again I'm not giving this company a bad review because he didn't give me a refund - I'm simply stating the facts - they charge too much - they take forever - and they do a crummy job.
Description of Work: A&Jad's has refinished a table and he last time I used them was to clean rugs.

oriental rug cleaning
+ -1 moreINCREDIBLY WELL! They took such care and time with this sad rug. They hand washed it, scrubbed it, dried it...The rug has NEVER looked this GOOD! I am so grateful to them. It was nice to walk into a workshop where real craftsmen work with expertise and care. I have two more rugs to be repaired - I can't wait! Oh - my husband has been marveling at his beloved rug. The colors are more vibrant than he's ever seen them...in 40 years!
Description of Work: I have an Oriental rug that has been in my husband's family for 50 years...his family had MANY pets. This rug was in bad shape - dirty, dirty, and SMELLY. A & Jad's cleaned the rug up.

A&Jads installed a new mirror, cleaned the wood, filled with putty where needed, added sealer and a finish, where needed, and touched up the color where needed. He was very courteous and took pride in his work.

+ -1 moreJad did all that he promised and had the chair ready within the three days. He is a bit of a character, who likes to talk about himself and his work. Customers should be prepared to spend some time "smoozing." We will certainly be back, and in fact have a "pie-crust" table that needs some restoration and refinishing.
Description of Work: Jad fixed a broken chair seat, one of a set of four that had been upholstered by another firm. In our presence, he carefully removed the under-lining, to expose the cracked plywood seat. He said he could replace the seat, and install a firmer padding than the cotton that was currently there. He quoted labor and materials cost at $110, which seemed reasonable; and said the chair would be ready in three days.

+ 0 moreBought this chair in 1977! Injured my back and slept in the chair for almost two years. Last year the chair fell apart. (I use this chair EVERYDAY.) The company has gone out of business and I couldn't find a comparable chair that I could afford. Jad's had reupholstered this chair about 18 years ago and did a wonderful job, so I was happy to have him do it again in 2010. When it fell apart last year I called Jad. He came to my house so I would not have to move this monster again. I'm female and sixty. The chair is huge and heavy. He spent almost eight hours over two days repairing the chair. Custom manufacturing some of the components. The chair works like new. I'm hoping Jad will still be working when I need him to rebuild/reupholster this chair in another 15-20 yrs! Jads prices may seem on the high side, but his work is excellent and holds up. Remember, you do get what you pay for. Jad takes pride in and stands by his work. He is punctual, professional and has a wicked sense of humor. I HIGHLY recommend A & Jads. His wife is also sweet and funny and a great foil for him.
Description of Work: Had my 36 yr old recliner reupholstered and repaired. The frame split, the foot rest failed, the chair fell apart. Jad rebuilt it!

+ -1 moreI finally decided to have them redone and couldn't' be happier. I had driven by A&Jad's quite a few times as they are on my way to work but checked out a few other places online first but decided to go there. I dropped the chairs off and chatted with Jad and his wife for 30-40 minutes about options and what I wanted and they promised to try to have done before our family celebration about 20 days later. He delivered the chairs and they look beautiful, I wish I would have taken a before picture. It was more expensive then I had hoped but worth it. I will go to them for any future work I have done.

furniture repair
+ -1 moreWe needed to have a number of 35 year old dining room chairs re-caned as the bottoms or backs weakened and broke. Almost no one does actual caning anymore (labor is too expensive). The norm is to install pieces from pre-woven sheets. A & Jads removed and then replaced worn out seat bottoms or backs from a set of chairs over a number of years. They were careful about their work (no scratches on the wood frames), matched the pattern and dyed the new pieces to match the old ones. We took a much more complicated piece of furniture (a Mauritian "planters" chair) with a far different caning pattern to them for repair. The work was done on time and for the amount quoted with their usual good attention to details. Probably not the cheapest shop (and certainly not the most expensive) in the Washington area; reliable work, well done (some of the earlier repair jobs have now lasted a decade) and nice people to deal with. The only hesitation is that they do not pick-up/deliver furniture they are repairing.
