This review is long overdue. I had Aby reupholster my grandmother's wingback chair (sorry I don't have before pics), which needed a major overhaul with spring work, all new foam, refurbishing of the wood, etc. Aby and her staff were great. They took ample time to help me decide on the right fabric for me, and they did a beautiful job withe the chair. The service was professional, as requested, and a very reasonable turnaround time (just a few weeks). I'm so happy with my chair and highly recommend Aby's Upholstery!

Accent pillows all made by Aby's team

10 stars for Aby, Fernando and team! They did a superb job reupholstering 2 accent chairs and making my sofa accent pillows. Aby is extremely responsive on email and made sure EVERY DETAIL was attended to. She let me bring the fabrics I wanted and get my own pillow fills. She was flexible and very good priced for what they did. Icing on the cake was that my chairs and pillows were all completed so quickly despite holiday season. Don't look further for an upholstery shop! I'm certain you won't find better!

Aby's Upholstery is truly amazing. I needed a window seat cushion and they did an amazing job. Aby is a great person to work with. I felt like I was working with a good friend. I drove from Half Moon Bay to San Jose, and I highly recommend them for any upholstery job you have. You won't be sorry.

Loveseat

This is long overdue. Aby's did a really nice job with my loveseat. Very professionally done and was a pleasure to work with. They do get quite busy and there may be a queue to get work done. So expect that

Before. Black leather was no longer my thing. It had to go.

I knew I was probably going to get good service from Aby's Upholstery based on their reviews. Back in 2017, I bought a nice sofa from Design Within Reach that I got for half price, which was too good a deal to pass up, but over the years I realized I did not like black leather upholstery. Since this was a big investment, and I loved the sofa otherwise, I decided to have it re-upholstered in a brighter-colored fabric. I reached out to Aby's and they promptly got back to me to discuss. I decided on a fabric from Herman Miller. I was unsure which shade of blue would best match my other pieces, but thanks to at least half a dozen swatches that Aby ordered and sent to me, I decided on a shade called Angelfish. We continued to discuss details, price, and time frames, at least 50 emails. They always replied within 24 hours and were always friendly and patient. I finally made the decision, paid the deposit, and arranged pickup, for which they showed up right on time. When they finally delivered the finished product less than a week later, it was beyond my expectations. The workmanship was immaculate, as good or better than it came from the manufacturer. Not a stitch out of place. Overall, as great an experience as one could expect. Regarding price, this was not a cheap project at all, but it was worth it, as I now have an heirloom quality piece. Highest recommendations!

I found JMK Shutters when I was searching on Yelp about a year and half ago. Rommel came to our…read moreplace to measure the windows and gave us the estimate. At the time we were doing remodeling of our home so we couldn't have them install the shutters right away. They were very accommodating with our time frame. When they installed the shutters, they all looked beautiful! They did fantastic job with installing them. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for shutters to be installed at your place. We think the pricing was fair as well. I don't remember pricing though but I do remember that my parents thought it was fair value. I totally forgot about them until my mom asked me last night because her friend wanted to get shutters installed so my mom asked me to find this place's info to send to her friend. :)

The previous owner of our home worked with JMK Shutters for the cellular shades installed in the…read morebedrooms. We were interested in changing them out for motorized shades and Rommel came out to our home for the consultation. He explained that the original cellular shades could not be retro-fitted to be motorized, so we would have to buy new sets. No problem - and totally understandable! Rommel was very patient and thorough with his explanation of why and working with us to understand our project. We ended up purchasing four sets of shades for our primary bedroom to cover two large windows with a two-layer, motorized system of black-out and light-filtering cellular shades. Rommel's installation team (Rene and Martin) were amazing - super fast, diligent, and competent! They also moved the original set of cellular shades we had to our living room, which meant we didn't lose them after all! They also updated the cord pulls for the original set, which we appreciated. The motorized shades have been such a wonderful addition to our master bedroom! We love the total darkness it provides for sleeping in -- and the automatic scheduler to lower / raise the shades as well has proven very convenient. We are VERY pleased with this upgrade. Overall, JMK Shutters offers a comprehensive, customer-first experience. Their team is knowledgeable, competent, and on-time. We have only good things to say about Rommel, Rene, and Martin and would consider them again for future work.

I requested a quote for a whole-house project including more than 15 motorized shades. Icy was very…read moreresponsive at first and asked me to provide detailed window measurements, photos, and other information, which took quite a bit of time to prepare. The owner, Aida, then reached out and asked for more details about our needs, which I provided. After that, communication stopped. We were told she was dealing with family matters and might be slow to respond, which we completely understood. Icy later explained that they needed to wait until the drywall was up before moving forward. We understood, but we wish this had been communicated earlier, as we spent quite a bit of time preparing detailed information before learning that we would need to wait. In the meantime, we contacted other blinds companies, and they were happy to provide preliminary quotes and measurements and were much more responsive. By the time our drywall was completed, we had decided to move forward with another company. I'm giving 2 stars because Icy was responsive at the beginning, but overall, the experience was disappointing. Their other reviews are very positive, so perhaps we just had an unfortunate experience. We ultimately chose another shade company that was more flexible, responsive, and willing to work with us.

It all started great and we had picked everything and basically decided on the cost.

Then I get a text at 7:30pm which I then message back around 8 but no response. Next day I call and since it's 5/1 they can no longer honor the previous prices... absolutely ridiculous. Pretty sure 99% of companies offer a quote that's at least good for a month but this place can't even hold it for a day. I then call back a few days later but they don't even bother responding to me. It seems they are busy and don't have time for small orders like mine.
