Fantastic!
Description of Work: My grandfather's chair needed to be reupholstered. Debra was very informative throughout the whole process. She informed me of any suggestions or changes in her quote. Her work is detailed and wonderful. I have already recommended her to my family and will be bringing her more of my pieces as well.

While I appreciate customers who take the time to post a review, Mr. [Member Name Removed]'s review was made of the wrong upholsterer! I hope he will apply the positive review to the upholsterer who earned it.

Description of Work: Debra gave me an estimate to make new cushions for an antique morris chair I inherited. She thoroughly explained what she was charging and why. She patiently helped me decide on which type of inner materials to use. I had originally wanted down cushions but after she let me sit on different foams and a down cushion, we decided to get the foam type. We purchased the material at an upholstery store and the result was a gorgeous chair. Her cushions were beautifully made with hidden zippers and looked as if they had been purchased with the chair. We are extremely happy with the result and wouldn't hesitate to have her do another chair for us if the need ever comes up.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review on the chair (& ottoman) you had upholstered. I'm happy that you trusted my advice on using foam & dacron which were necessary to give you the support & firmness you asked for. I look forward your next project!

Description of Work: I had two wingback chairs reupholstered in blue velvet. Was quoted at a few other places at $2000+ PER CHAIR. Reasonably priced and the chairs turned out beautifully! I also had two other all-fabric dining chairs done as well, for about $175 each, those also look amazing!

Description of Work: Upholstered 6 cushions, 2 bolster pillows and 2 arm panels for built in bench in family room. Included faux leather, foam and Dacron, fiberfill, Dacron wraps and labor. After reading reviews and speaking to Debra Chappelle on the phone, I asked her to come to our house to see the project and to give an estimate. I was favorably impressed with her professionalism and relaxed manner. She was self assured and knowledgeable but did not "push" in any way. She does not carry fabrics except for leathers, faux leather and vinyl. Therefore I had to purchase some of the fabric from Calico Corners (also a good experience). Deb didn't pick up the cushions until she was ready to begin the job. Once picked up, the job took just under a week. All the details are above. Very pleased with quality of the work and the advise she gave me.

Response from Flair Upholstery
Word-of-mouth referrals have always been my sole means of advertising so I thank [member name removed] for taking the time to post a review of my work. I've gotten away from selling fabrics as I've been finding that many customers prefer buying online, using coupons, or taking advantage of knowledgeable sales people in the retail fabric outlets. I do have access to contract vinyls and fabrics (also designer fabrics) which I offer to my customers but my labor is not based upon buying fabric through me. Sincerely, Flair Upholstery

Description of Work: Debra did an outstanding job on our arm covers and head rests for our two new couches. She made a trip to our home to measure and make the form. The job was done in 1 1/2 days. She was friendly and business like. I would definitely call on Debra again.

It's a wonderful experience to deal with a company like Flair Upholstery. Nothing will be reupholstered without the greatest attention to detail. This is a single person shop and all work must meet her own personal standards for quality. She will communicate costs and give her professional opinion so that the customer will not have questions. Customers will benefit from 18 years of upholstery experience. Her work for us was on two vintage living room chairs which should now give us years of wear. Sofa upholstery is not something she does. Flair is the only company that I will consider for reupholstery work!

I thank Member for his referral. He and his wife are gracious customers and a joy to work for. I have never advertised and referrals are my sole marketing stratedgy. I would just like to add that I've been in business since 1978 which is over 30 years.
