I called Gilbert Upholstery to get a quote to replace the foam in a couch cushion as well as replace the zipper in the cover. I was told it would be $40-45. So, I brought it to their house to have the work done. I had to ask the man if he wanted my contact information, otherwise, I don't think he would have asked. I then had to follow-up to find out when it would be finished. I ended up calling 2-3 different times before it was done. It was only 2-3 weeks, which was fine. When it was completed, I was told it would be $75 from the wife and I had a voicemail message from the husband that it would be $30. I picked it up and asked what happened to the original price of $40-$45 and was told that was the price for the foam only without the labor. I didn't think that was right as how was I supposed to know it didn't include the labor. So, I agreed to pay $50. At one point, the wife offered to just give it to me for free, but I didn't think that was fair. The work was good, but the business side of the service was very unprofessional. read more

Having spent 2 years trying to find a sectional sofa to work in our mid century living room proved to be exceedingly difficult! Everything "new" was so poorly made and ridiculously expensive. Being a mid century designer, I finally decided to find a true vintage mid century sofa. I finally found one made in 1953, that fit our space and design style perfectly, but it needed new cushions and upholstery. We took it to Gilbert Upholstery and so thankful that we did! Not only did they bring our sectional back to its original beauty, they went above and beyond to make sure the quality was improved upon and put in extra support and upgraded all the little details that most people wouldn't even notice!! I won't go anywhere else for our upholstery needs or my clients!! Excellent quality, workmanship and customer service! Brilliant work and such a blessing that we found them!!! read more

We called Gilbert Upholstery as wanted to see what we could get done with our sectional and love seat. Multiple cushions were sagging in since our dogs love to lay on the back of them. The cushions we sat on were also starting to sink in a little but not too terrible for a sectional that was three years old. Anyway, they came over and gave us a quote after looking at the sectional and love seat. For everything that Ed was going to do, it was very reasonable and he explained the whole process very well. Having the cushions re-stuffed was also going to be much cheaper than getting new furniture. He was able to get the work completed within the next couple of days and we couldn't have been happier. The sectional and love seat look and feel great and he was able to do everything at our house. Thank you Gilbert Upholstery for the fantastic work! read more

Ed and Isabelle were fantastic! We were interested in having 5 dining chairs redone with fabric to replace the rattan that was showing its age. We also needed an assessment on our sectional with double ottomans. They came out and explained what they could do and after a visit to their shop picked out new fabric for the chairs and were shown what type of foam could be used to perk up the ottomans and make them look new again. The finished products look beautiful. Ed takes great pride in his work and knows his business. Isabelle is the perfect backup for a delightful team to work with. I would recommend them to anyone needing upholstery work done. They are prompt, they are fair, they did great work and are a total pleasure to work with. Charles Grow read more

Our living room furniture needed a midlife "refresh". Cushions and pillows had worn out long ago although fabric was wearing well. All pieces were uncomfortable so a call to Gilbert Upholstery was placed. Isabelle & Ed came out and really listened to what we wanted our furniture to be. Five pieces completed in less than a week with strapping added to give better support as well as a higher grade/denser foam seat cushions. Back pillows were all restuffed and sewn by hand. Comfort & support more than met our needs and at a good price. It's a custom feel that I've never felt in this furniture before. We'll be going back soon to have some dining chairs reupholstered. Thank you Gilbert Upholstery. read more

I had a favorite chair to be recovered and was new to the area so looked on Yelp and found Gilbert Upholstery. What a wonderful find. I wanted to incorporate a guilt and fabric into the chair not easy but the wife and husband team were wonderful. He took great care in the design and placement of the quilt and it looks like a designer chair. They also did another chair and were helpful in telling me what type of fabrics they had or where I could go for other fabrics. I would highly recommend this wonderful couple and the excellent work they do. When I finally get settled there on my list for my open house that is how mush I liked them and the job they did. A great hard working couple. read more

Ed and Isabella are awesome! I took my couch cushions to them after my kids jumped on them and broke the springs. I got quotes from other upholsterers who wanted to replace the entire cushion insides for hundreds of dollars. The couch is 10 years old so I wasn't going to put that kind of money into it. May as well buy a brand new one for that price. Ed took a look at it and said he could salvage the springs and repack them with a thin layer of new foam for way less! The cushions are like new now and I got another few years of life in them before the kids completely destroy it. Great family who did great work. Highly recommend them. -John read more

We were referred to Gilbert Upholstery by a family member who was thrilled with their dining chairs, and I can confidently say we made the right choice. They reupholstered my antique sofa and truly brought it back to life. They fixed the springs and took the time to explain every detail of the process while assisting me in selecting the perfect fabric that matches the era. Their pricing was unbeatable, especially compared to other places I had called beforehand. I wholeheartedly recommend them without reservation. This was the best service I've experienced yet. read more

I had them change out the cushion in two sofas and I am amazed at the quality of the work. The couch is more comfortable now that when it was brand new. They fixed several deficiencies in the manufacture of the couch as well. I had the manufacture come out twice due to issues with the cushions breaking down after a couple of years. They would fix it but it didn't last very long. If you are like me and enjoy using small local business this company is for you. I will recommend them to all of my friends. read more

To seek help from Gilbert Upholstery was a special experience. We had seats of two highchairs for a dinner table damaged, and reached out to this company for help. We were a little bit confused how this was to be done, but the result was overwhelming. We have never met such willingness to help and to satisfy our needs. We even were offered to borrow some tools to take home for fixing the table itself, too big to bring to the workshop. Trust and helpfulness can do wonders! read more

I sent 18 Drexel Heritage pieces to Gilbert Upholstery that were over 30 years old. The pieces were dining chair seats and easy chairs. They all were returned beautifully restored and absolutely fabulous! The welts were perfect and their ideas to refurbish and use of the fabric were A-1! I would trust them with any piece knowing that the item would return unbelievable condition! I actually have 4 more for them! Thank you Gilbert Upholstery!! Carol read more

My friend had a chair that was really old and she loved it. She asked me if I knew of anyone who could fix it. I mentioned this place and took the chair there for her. I could not believe it was the same chair when I got it back. The work was outstanding and all the wood had been cleaned up. The fabric was perfect and she loves her chair again. They where super friendly to work with and did a great job. I highly recommend them if you need work done. read more

I contacted Gilbert Upholstery with the intention of having my couch cushions restuffed. Subsequent to their visit, found out that the frame didn't have enough support (strapping). They added strapping to both the base and back of the sectional and now it is more comfortable than ever. Their price was very reasonable and their service was excellent. I will definitely use them again if the need arises. read more

Great Service! Thanks Mrs Martin read more

I was very happy with the work that was done on my dining room chairs. The owner took the time to show me what he would be doing and the materials he would use. The chairs came back to me with better support and cushion then when I bought them. It was the day before Thanksgiving and he got them back to me that night, so I wouldn't be without them. Very nice people and will definitely use them again! read more
