I called CJC Upholstery to see if they could turn the trick. They came the very next day and the sofa was fixed within the hour. Quick, cordial and all business; just what the doctor ordered, and the cost was quite reasonable. What actually happened was that the thread had deteriorated causing the seam to fail. Well, gee, the piece is probably 25 or so years old, but nobody has to know that. And Yuzu (my cat) is back to frolicking with the couch. But we decided to keep the old sheet that was covering the damaged section of the sofa in place, since it is already well ripped! We are all very happy with the fix, the price and the people who did the repair. And I have no doubts about calling them in the future. Thank you ever so much.

TAKE MY ADVICE AND DON'T USE THIS VENDOR. THE QUALITY OF THE WORK WAS AWFUL AND THEY ARE DISHONEST…read more I took them to small claims court and the judge ordered them to pay me $500. They didn't pay and are now in violation of a court order. I brought in three upholstered chairs and a sofa to be recovered, based on a referral and Yelp. One of the chairs was returned and curved piece of wood that formed the leg and the chair fell off the first time I tried to pick it up to move it. The the cover for the back was crooked and Raphael said he didn't know how to fix it. I got out some pins and showed him how it could be done. He took it to fix it and I haven't seen it since. The fabric around that arm was puckered, but he used so much glue to reattach it I'm afraid the if I try to have the wood removed it will destroy the chair. I had 2 other upholstered chairs. First the back covers were to small, then they were too big, then they were different lengths. The biggest problem was the sofa. Thsere were numerous problems. Every time I pointed out a problem Rafael would say, "That's a problem and it should be fixed." The cushions hung out 4" beyond the frame and beige zippers were used with dark grey fabric. He explained that the overhand happened because the stuffing should have been replaced. I told him that since I'm not a professional, I took his word for what was causing the problem. I asked why the people working on the piece hadn't told me about this problem, because if they had I would have immediately authorized them to replace the foam. He said some of the people who do the work are better than others, and my work had been done by the less competent people. I asked if he could have the better qualified people redo the work. He said this was not possible because the more competent people wouldn't work on jobs that other people had not done properly. I asked if this meant that the furniture would be given back to the people who had already worked on my furniture, and he said, "yes". I then asked why they would do a better job this time and he had no answer. It didn't make sense to me that if the people who had messed up the job originally would magically do a better job now. No answer. During this period, I had numerous conversations with his customer service person. Almost every time I called her, she told me that she understood my problem but couldn't reach the boss who would make the decision. She also told me that I was a patient, reasonable person and she was sorry she couldn't help me better. Eventually, in November, the customer service person told me that the boss had agreed that he pay for me to have the piece recovered some place else. At this point I had to buy new fabric and find another company to do the work. Once the work was complete, I submitted copies of the invoices for the fabric and the work and followed up with 2 calls last week. NO RESPONSE. By the dates on the emails, you can see this continued for over 5 months. I AM TRYING TO TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT, BUT THEY ARE IGNORING SUBPOENAS. I AM OUT AMOST $3,000.

He just reupholstered a chair for us and the quality of the workmanship is terrific. The seams look great and we got all new cushions that feel very nice. I shopped around a couple of other local folks, and Jay had the best price and could get the work done pretty quickly. He is also extremely friendly and has an amazing memory. The location is tucked away down a gravel road, but the map marker will get you to the driveway. I am pretty sure he will also do pick-up and delivery if yo have larger pieces.

He was very pleasant to work with, returned calls quickly and the work was done in the amount of time (2 weeks) and for the price he quoted me. We dropped off & picked up the ottoman ourselves. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Shambley's to my friends for similar work. Agree with previous reviewer's notes regarding the location - it's back on Shakori Trail (gravel rd), not on Erwin Rd.
