A close up of the new fabric.
Jen T.

Can't say enough positive things about Al and his company. Al was super patient in helping me find the fabric I had in mind. Al pulled many options from his shop shelves and let me take them home but none were exactly what I was looking for. So Al understood what I was looking for and called a couple of the sales reps he gets samples from and found me the perfect fabric. His team picked up the couch for a small fee and brought it back. He promised I would get the couch back in 6 weeks (it's a big couch) in time for a graduation party, barring any unforeseen circumstances, and he came through. Not the cheapest, altho the fabric I picked is a piece of that, but excellent quality so worth the price in my opinion.

Couch

AI did an amazing job fixing three buttons on a leather tufted sofa as well as touching up worn down areas of the leather with paint to give this couch a new look. His prices were very competitive and I was able to get the sofa done within one week. Highly recommend working with Al and his team!

Great communication, great service and excellent results. I had fabric to match a kilt for a bagpiper. What a transformation!

Before

I had been unhappy with my dining room chairs because the seat stuffing had deteriorated to the point of discomfort. I was thinking about just giving them up and buying new ones. Thankfully. first I looked in Yelp for suggestions and Al's business struck me as a good choice. I am so happy that I made that choice. He is a delight to deal with in every way. He picked up the chairs as promised on time, did a perfect job on the new stuffing in the seats and the chairs look good as new and are once again comfortable. And all this in a very timely manner. I highly recommend Ace Covering Upholstery! Thanks Yelp and Al

Our old couch looks better than a new one. The job is exceptionally done. Thanks, Al! I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone.

I have so many good things to say about Louis and his team, I don't even know where to start!…read more - First off, Louis' communication was beyond expectation -- he was extremely responsive and professional. Both on Yelp and via text / call - Second, he offers scheduled pick up and drop off for your furniture which all the other companies I looked at did not offer - He has a great, creative eye for design and worked with me and my fiancé to find the perfect fabric for our chairs - Louis offers an extremely wide range of high quality fabrics and materials to choose from (you will be sure to find exactly what you need -- and Louis was happy to coach us through the process) - He also has really great and flexible hours to accommodate even the busiest professionals (evenings + Saturdays) - Lastly, and most importantly, is the quality of his work! He took 15+ year old chairs and made them look brand new (even better than the original if I'm being honest!). We know we are going to get decades more out of these chairs because of the quality and care Louis put into his work. OH! And the price was extremely competitive and reasonable based on the other quotes I received. I'm sure I'm leaving out something, but I'll leave with this: we could not be more happy with our newly upholstered chairs -- we've already received countless compliments and we will absolutely be going back to Louis for any of our upholstery needs. Thanks again for everything, Louis!!

Great experience and quality work! Our dog decided to enjoy the arms of matching wing chairs, and I…read morewas undecided what to do. We've had the chairs for 10 years, but the are good quality (Room & Board) and lightly used. I initially planned on having arm covers made, and was still able to get the fabric from R&B. However after looking at them, Louis said he could simply replace one panel on each chair. It costs a bit more than the arm covers, but so glad I went this route. They look brand new again. And the picked them up and delivered them! Highly recommend!

We spoke with the staff about our options and everything sounded so expensive! But still so much cheaper than having to pick out, get delivered, and dispose of a large and heavy sleeper sofa. We had Willow do the work and we got what we needed and more! Sitting on the sofa feels like it's high quality and new, and we would easily recommend Willow to others for similar work.

I realize a lot of reviews are written by people that are personal friends or family members, so…read moreyou have to take their raves with a grain of salt. Not so in this case. I came to Willow on a recommendation from a family friend. Our house had just had pipes burst, and I needed to get my furniture out and given "spa treatment." Through all of the hassles of that process (insurance, permits, remediation), Willow was my oasis. I loved coming into the shop and, as Leigh often says, "look at pretty things." The whole staff was incredibly talented and helpful, and made this such an enjoyable experience. When I needed help with wallpaper, they were there to find a matching print and then recommend hangers. When I had to slow things down because my carpeting had yet to be installed, they could not have been more understanding and worked with my constraints. Best of all, my Mom, who is a very talented decorator in her own right, absolutely loves everything Willow created for her...which means we will be back to do other rooms. I cannot say enough positives about Willow, and, as an absolute novice at all of this, they made the redecorating so much fun. I always left the shop with a smile (and an armful of swatches). I will always be grateful to Willow for all of their help and positivity during what had started out as a catastrophe in our house. And, as I write this, I am sitting on the most beautiful wingback chair with a whimsical throw pillow behind me. Thank you, Willow, for all of this and more.

Nick, Lydia and team did a truly extraordinary and masterful job of transforming four 60-year-old…read morearmchairs into beautiful like-new chairs. They are wizards at their craft, and we strongly recommend them to you. When the chairs were deivered to their shop, they had an assortment of significant defects after decades of use. The material had worn thin in areas, with a few tears in fabric. The padding on the seats and backs no longer provided the support they once did. The wood arms anad legs were severely scratched and discolored. We wondered whether we should just put them out for scavenger pickup. But we really liked the style and could find no comparable new chairs. So, we tracked down Nick's after reading all their 5-star reviews. Nick's totally transformed the chairs. They first refinished the wood so that it was like new. They helped us choose the perfect fabric and skillfully installed it after first replacing the padding. In short, it is hard to conceive that anyone else could have done a better job. And. while we were in no hurry to get the chairs back, they returned them at exactly the timeframe estimated. Everything was outstanding across the board.

I wish we had more furniture that needed recovered. We absolutely love working with Nick and Lidia!…read moreThey couldn't be more welcoming, helpful or exceptional. They are highly recommended by me and my husband. Not to mention a wonderful family business for all to support. We had 2 office chairs, 8 dining room chairs and 4 kitchen chairs that needed recovered. We met with them in store and they showed us several fabrics that would be easy to manage with our little children but also coordinated with our style. We reached out in December and they were excellent with expediting the eating chairs to have by Christmas, without us even pushing for that. Luckily the fabric was already available but we still didn't expect a 1-2 week turnaround. We are still waiting on the office chairs but are excited to see how The fabric and work done is top notch! The chairs are comfortable, updated and very well upholstered. We've never gotten furniture recovered before but we thought the prices were reasonable for the experience, services and product!
