I could not be more pleased. The owner, Carlos, was friendly, helpful and classy. He and his team took my little midcentury corner couch that the dog tore up and gave me back a funky boho piece. Going to do another chair! read more

Tried three times to get my table picked up and it never happened. His place was close by so I called and his return calls/texts were not at all helpful. I eventually gave up. read more

Refinished my coffee table leather top like no other. Brought it back to life. Thank you!

The absolute best in the business for restoring high end furniture. Carlos and his team are professionals and respond quickly.

I've worked with Carlos once before on some inherited dining room chairs in need of repair and reinforcement. That pleasant experience gave us the confidence to trust Arboleda & Co. with this bigger job of rescuing 2 chairs for our parlor. I won't waste time by describing the shape they were in (see photos). As you might guess, the interior padding was dust barely held in place by the ragged upholstery (see photos) but like I said I'm not wasting time... ANYWAY, it wasn't cheap, but neither would new chairs be. Carlos had many patterns to choose from and helped us find just the one for us. Now we have these basically new, totally unique chairs (see photos). Even though it wasn't cheap, Carlos was perfectly reasonable on pricing (including delivery) and turnaround was faster than I expected (@2 weeks!). read more

Carlos has refinished three different mid century pieces for me over the past few years. His work is impeccable and timely. Despite my asking of him a tenacious deadline, he gracefully met the deadline, delivered on time, and did an incredible job. He restores and reupholsters with extraordinary talent. Before and after photos depict a 60+ year old sofa restored to perfect original condition. read more

We have used Carlos many times over the years and he has always done good work but at the moment he is refusing to return calls or to respond to texts or voicemails. In the last two weeks I have visited his workshop, written him a note and left him multiple voicemails offering him a LOT of work but he has been running away from me and refusing to return calls; like others leaving comments here have noted, he is avoiding all contact. It makes me sad to write this but I have to warn you to look elsewhere until Carlos decides to heed his customers and to pay attention to his work. read more

So Carlos came by to check my sofa to get clarity on what I need and to get measurements in order to provide me with quote, but once he left, he was gone. No response to calls or texts and I never even got the quote. So not professional. read more

Carlos did a great job! Nice selection of fabrics - now my dining room chairs look like new! Worked with me on timing and delivery - highly recommend this family owned shop! SHOP LOCAL! read more

Excellent work, great attention to detail, great craftsmanship! Carlos Arboleda is the person you want to do your upholstery!!

Carlos is absolutely the best! He re-upholstered my poor old tired 60's sofa that had taken a real beating from doggie paws over the years. He came to my house and brought tons of swatch books with him, all in the family of what I was looking for, all had durability ratings on the reverse. When I made my choice, he provided an estimate and emailed it to me right there. Upon approval of the estimate, I provided a 50% deposit up front (required) and he and his assistant loaded the sofa into his van. It was completed and delivered exactly by estimated end date at the price that had been quoted. The craftsmanship is amazing! I was floored by the quality. He even refinished the wood legs at no extra charge. Definitely recommend Carlos and his team for any cherished piece. read more

I'm so thrilled with my "new" armchair! When I moved in with my husband, he had this old, dingy, UGLY armchair that I wanted so desperately to get rid of. But he loved it, so it stayed. When I saw what Carlos did with a friend's chair, I showed it to my husband and he agreed that we could give his monstrosity a makeover. We took it to Carlos and a month later we have a beautiful, one-of-a-kind piece of furniture. Carlos' sense of design and attention to detail are impeccable. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. read more

Carlos is great. It was a small job but he treated it like a big one. He gave a competitive, fair price and it was a very easy transaction He worked with my schedule to pickup and drop off and the job was completed in short order. He did great work and he has a great attitude. I will be a repeat customer. read more

Carlos did an amazing and very speedy job re-upholstering my little mid century armchair. I'm thrilled with the result. The project stayed on budget, and we added four couch pillows in the same fabric. I couldn't be happier - Carlos is wonderful : ) read more

This guy won't even respond back to emails or phone calls. He is unprofessional. He even scheduled an appointment to come to my house and was a no call-no show. When I contacted him to find out if he was still coming, he still didn't respond. I wouldn't rely on him to fix anything! read more

I'm really not one to leave poor reviews, but the lack of communication here left me in a real bind. I was in a bit of a pickle needing to get some couch cushions filled for a client on a pretty tight timeline. I saw all of these wonderful reviews and thought it would be a slam dunk. I went to meet with Carlos at his shop to give a more accurate view of the cushions in question. He was very kind and after taking a look at the cushions, assured me he'd be in contact with an estimate and said the work could be done in no time at all. I was so relieved! With his reassurance, I ended my search for other shops and planned on the job being good as done over the next week. After probably three texts and calls to follow up with him, as it seemed to be a pretty straight forward refill job, he completely ghosted me. No response whatsoever. At least let me know if you're not interested in the job rather than keep me hanging. Really nice guy in person who I am sure does wonderful work, but he totally wasted my time. smh So not cool. read more

My mom finally had had it with storing some old 60s mod chairs that were from my grandparents so she gave them to me. The foam had completely deteriorated and they were leaking little pieces of yellow foamy sand stuff. I took them to Carlos to have the foam replaced and was very pleased with his work. They turned out looking great. He was able to use the original material and even took the time to oil the wood. It ended up costing half of what I was quoted at another shop and Carlos was super personable and nice. It took him some time to respond to my emails, but he was always available by phone. Overall, very pleased and will definitely be going back when my mom clears out more furniture. read more

Carlos is fantastic. We had him make a custom leather couch for house (a built in). We needed him to make some changes and he made them after-the-fact. We always felt like we were in good hands. He is very friendly and clearly a true professional. read more

Not only do they do quality work, but Carlos is more fairly priced than anyone I have ever met in any industry! I will take all my furniture needs to Arboleda and Co. Thank you Carlos and Team!!!!! read more

Carlos is fantastic. Very reasonably priced, professional and does beautiful work in a tight turn around. So happy to have found him!

I have been doing business with Carlos Arboleda for 12 years and I can always rely on him to get the job done no matter what. He offers all the services you will need to make your upholstery visions come to fruition and he is patient and helpful when giving advice about the work I want to get done. He is very fairly priced and he does great work...what more can you ask for? read more

Amazing service by a super nice guy. I contacted 2 well-reviewed upholstery places on yelp to get an e-mail quote. The other place never returned my e-mail or call. Carlos got back to me same-day. I sent him images of a rocking chair I planned to buy off of e-bay to get an idea of what it might cost to re-upholster the cushion. His bid was more than fair, he followed up with me to see if I still needed the work done, and then when the chair did arrive he did amazing work including a little bit of repair to the wood. He custom made a pillow for the headrest, too. He delighted in the vintage Lilly Pulitzer fabric I used for the cushion and made sure to bring me back the leftover piece in great condition. We will definitely be using him again and I can't say enough great things about our experience. read more

Really good experience and results. I was just thinking about building a custom sofa, and hoping Carlos and his team might be able to help. They did such a great job re-structering and upholstering our sofa. I don't recommend people unless I mean it. They are the real deal. read more

Carlos is totally amazing. Carlos was professional, and proved his skill, talent and design expertise. I am a professional Interior Designer myself, living in Los Angeles, and had some furniture to reupholster and refinish. A total of 6 Dining Room chairs, and a Grand Dining Room Table with Extensions to fix. The table had been severely damaged during a move, and the legs were broken. The Chairs which were antique, and had needed to be recovered for more than 30 years. The conditions which these items were in were in very bad shape. I was amazed by the pictures I was sent, during the progress. I had chosen a pink alligator for the chairs, and left the white finish to Carlos which he matched perfectly. I will upload some pictures so you can see how gorgeous the chairs and tables came out. Bravo Carlos! Bravo! Thank you. Alexandra Bevin Cohen read more

Carlos is a prince. He absolutely rescued some badly damaged furniture and then went the extra mile in working with us to ship it to Northern California. At the end of the day, we have some good upholsterers in San Francisco, but none of them can hold a candle to Carlos. Use him for all your upholstery and wood furniture restoration needs. read more

I've used Carlos a few times for furniture repair. He repaired a beautiful old table to perfection-I can't even remember where it was damaged. He also fixed a dresser for me and now the drawers open smoothly like they were new. He is professional and has a great turn around time. read more

I had an amazing experience working with Carlos! He responded to my inquiry the same day and provided an estimate that was lower than several competitors in the area. My two chairs + ottoman were completed ahead of schedule and look absolutely amazing! I selected a large print fabric and to my amazement they look identical. I cannot say enough about his professionalism, creativity, craftsmanship and prompt courteous service! I highly recommend Arboleda & Co. read more

We had Carlos redo two mid century chairs and they came back just beautiful. He did a fantastic job, at a good price, and made the whole process super easy. He's a busy guy, because he's very good at what he does! He came and picked up the chairs, and we had them back in about a week. Should have done this sooner. read more

Carlos was great! They had my sofa's cushion repaired in ten minutes. Highly recommend!

His prices are good but the work was not. I had the seats on 6 dining room chairs reupholstered and noticed that when they were returned 3 screws needed to attach the seats to the frames were missing. I bought replacements at a hardware store but they should have done that. But the big problem was a leather executive desk chair. Within a month one of the arms came apart. I looked at it and saw it had not been reconnected properly: nails had been used instead of screws and they had pulled out. Also it was obvious that no wood glue had been used. "Glue and screw" should be the mantra of everyone working with wood. About 2 months later, the new leather began to fall apart on the seat; now, every time I sit on it, small pieces end up on the floor. I came on this site looking to find another upholsterer to repair it, but, frankly, considering Carlos' favorable reviews I don't feel comfortable relying on the reviews here because my experience was terrible. read more

Carlos custom made my headboard to the size I wanted and added extra deep tufting. He also re-upholstered it to the type and color of fabric I loved. It looks awesome! His attention to detail is impeccable and I am very happy. read more

I really was looking for zero stars cause while I have been in contact several times via email and phone , I have been waiting for over 2 weeks for a dumb quote for my sectional. I hope the craftsmanship is good ...cause the customer service BLOWS read more

We now have done 2 projects with Carlos, the refinishing and reupholstering of a set of vintage chairs as well as custom upholstery on all of our outdoor furniture (total of 12 pieces). I can not say enough about the work Carlos and his team does - absolutely amazing. The craftsmanship is unbelievable and they are meticulous. Carlos is very easy to work with and is great about offering up suggestions. We would never go to anyone else with our upholstering needs. A++ read more

Amazing work! I had a hideous sofa from the '70s, which was very comfortable, if unsightly, and I had considered chucking it on the sidewalk. I decided to have an estimate for reupholstering it and found Carlos through Yelp. Flash forward 2 weeks: the sofa is gorgeous, the price was reasonable, the service was very professional and prompt (my sofa was done within a week!). I am thrilled, and can't wait for Arboleda to do other pieces in my house. read more

Not only did Carlos do a great job of reupholstering a mission cushion for me, he did it very fast. Go see him for professional work and excellent prices. A class act. read more

I first took things to Arboleda & Co in the early 1980's--- At that time it was Carlos' father's business. He was a master! And his son, Carlos, learned from the best and maintained his father's high standard after his father passed away. All I can say is, he would be very proud of his son who continues to do excellent work in refinishing, upholstery, and repairs. There's a great team there. The rates are good and the work is excellent and you couldn't deal with better people. read more
