Hector's Upholstery - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Hector's is like family! Although I am sorry to learn of the passing of "Hector Senior", I am pleased to learn that Hector's family continues to provide extraordinary service, and Hector's Legacy lives on! Thirty years ago, Hector, Sr., came to our rescue after our teen-aged daughter caused a small kitchen fire to do tremendous "soot damage" to our newly acquired, custom-made, Merchandise Mart, Directional Furniture! The Claims Adjuster with the insurance company, profiling my wife and me spontaneously directed us to order new furniture. Once the Claims Adjuster learned of the cost, he suggested we downgrade and accept second best. Hector came to our rescue. Hector made the custom-made furniture better than custom-made. That furniture has been modernized by Hector three times with impeccable results. We are in the process of redesigning our dining room and Hector is the answer. Our snooty, billionaire neighbor says the finished result is a "Ten Plus"! My wife and I agree! Moreover, the experience and the underlying value are more than cost-justified. I have "before", "after", and "way after" pictures, to share too! After all of these years, Hector and Hector, Jr., are still the best! ~LCIII Hinsdale, Illinois read more

Brought in three kitchen chairs to be reupholstered. They were done within five days and the workmanship was great. Highly recommended.

Hector is a super nice guy. He had great ideas for my girlfriends heirloom rocking chair He must've pulled out 10 different colors before we nailed the pattern the moment we both saw it. He had the chair done in less than a week after I dropped it off. When the chair was ready he called and left a message. When I went to get the chair it looked awesome. Also, his dad was there working with him, too. His dad started the business, and now he's retired but still there working away. Hectors price was well worth the hard work and effort he put into it. I have another piece that I'll be bringing to him. read more

Very disappointed. I needed the top of an ottoman reupholstered, found this place, called to ask some questions. Store was closed so I left a message. Went in first thing in the morning. Ottoman piece in hand to show them the work needed. Pull the handle to the place, it's locked. An older gentleman sees me and comes to unlock the door. We say hello, I go in. "I left a message last night about if you guys might be able to fix this." Show him the material missing on my piece. "Ah yes I got your message." He looks at the piece. I ask, "Can you guys fix that?" "Yes." "Ok great! About how much would that be?" "Oh I don't know." "Ok. About how long would it take?" "Oh I don't know." "Ok." (Now I don't know what else I'm supposed to say.) So I try again from the start. "You guys can fix it, right?" "Yes (he's still looking at the material), we just have to match it up..." "Ok and how much -- ballpark -- might that be?" At this point just a range is fine so I have an idea. Like 30-50....75-150? Anything so I can gauge if it's worth fixing. He says again, "Oh I don't know." So I get quiet and wait to see how this is going to play out. "Just call me when you're ready" I'm thinking to myself "what does that mean? I'm here now." Why would I leave and call later? I came in. I brought the piece. Those things and everything I've said suggest I'm serious and ready. If anything he's not ready with price and timeline. So I say "I'm ready now. I kinda want to get this done soon. It's been this way for a while and it's a nice piece I'd like to use." "Ok fill this ticket out and we'll call you." "Ok. Should I leave this (the piece) with you?" "Yes." So I sat down, wrote my name & number on a work ticket with a description of what work was to be done. I figure he's going to do some research on the material I need then call to let me know. Then we'll confirm the price & timeline is ok and we'll move forward or I'll say thanks but no thanks. It's been about two months. I've heard nothing. Something told me the man's "I don't know" responses were a sign maybe I shouldn't force my support of a business when it's clear the business may not want it. First the man didn't return my call after getting my message. No big deal maybe he didn't have time yet. But to not elaborate more on why he didn't know the price or how long it would take?Those seem like basic, standard questions every customer asks. Was he too busy but didn't want to say? Was the job too small? Did he need to do more research on the material? After I dropped of my item and didn't get a call about the item ...did he lose my work ticket? Is he backed up? Was my penmanship not legible and he couldn't make out my info on the ticket to follow up? Was he never planning to call? Too many questions. So I'm out of that top piece to my ottoman and as a result my ottoman all together. I don't even want it back. Just keep it. Unprofessional. read more

They are very nice people and did a terrific job on our couch. We will use Hector's again for upcoming reupholstery projects. Jenny Pruim Morgan Park read more

This place was highly recommended by several people. So I dropped in, he let me take some swatches home, and told me to call him when I was ready with my fabric choice. He came and looked at the couch (a high end piece that I had brought with me from Europe, but in need of re-upholstering in a different color), and said he would price it and send me the estimate. Almost 2 weeks went by and I didn't hear from him, so I called him. He remembered me, said he will call right back. That was about a month ago - still no call from him! Funny way to get business, methinks. read more

Great upholstery work and also glued and made the chairs more sturdy. Fast turnaround time and just exceptional service

Hector reupholstered 3 chairs and replaced the cushions on our couch and love seat. The quality of his work is amazing. I'm glad that we have a local place that can do the work that he does. We will use him for future needs as well. read more

I visited Hector's store to inquire about upholstery services for my home decor/interior business. I already have an upholsterer, but thought it would be nice to have a second in my area since I live in Beverly. When I walked into the store, I was not happily greeted. Hector finished his conversation with a worker before hesitantly addressing me. I told him that I have a business and was looking for someone who could upholster items. He abruptly cut me off, answering that he only worked with "our own customers. Thank you." Since there didn't appear to be any signs suggesting that this was a business that worked only with private clients, I sought clarification from Hector. He again repeated the same refrain and turned his back to continue what he was working on when I entered the store. I have never seen a business turn away customers or not even inquire what a customer's needs are to see if they could assist in other ways such as offering a referral. I've lived in the area for 40+ years, own two houses in Beverly, have a home decor business and know many people who work in interiors. I think it's terribly shortsighted and rude to treat people this way. However, I am delighted that Hector showed me this side of him because I would not want to work with him or refer others to a business like this. read more

Hector is rudest man I have encountered in a LONG time. I visited Hector back in June and he quoted me a price of $1000 to reupholster two my couches (I showed him pictures). I finally decided to call and make the appt. Hector rudely informed me that the quote of $1000 does not sound correct. I said okay, my memory could totally be wrong. After asking for a price multiple times, he continues to tell me how crazy I am for assuming the price of $1000 was correct. After emailing him a picture of my couch, I never heard back from him. When I called to inquire, he rudely informed me that he didn't have time to check his email and that (again) the quote that I initially said was incorrect. Never giving me any other information. If you want quality service, please do not go here. read more

I was not happy with the quality of work done by Hector. Cushions never fit properly. In just a little over a year springs has sprung. I asked Hector to come back to see the quality of his work, but he never did. read more

Hector replaced cushions for my sofa and two chairs and did an excellent job. The price was very good also. I have recommended them several times, and definitely will use them again in the future. read more

With the help of yelp, I found this great in the neighborhood upholstery shop. Fast, quick service in days. I was so happy with his work that I will be recommending his shop to my friends and family. Not many upholstery shops left and I am very glad that I didn't have to travel way out the neighborhood for great service. read more

i give this person zero stars! caution!!!!beware!!!! i called this afternoon and spoke with hector himself and he was the rudest person i have ever dealt with in business. first of all he never let me completely tell him why i was calling before he hung up on me. i called back to explain that i got his number off of google and he told me that he was tired of people calling him from google and hanging up. i then in turn informed him that i was not with google and that i was in need of an upholster. i told him how rude he was and he still went on about google and their people. he never apologized for being so rude after i told him the reason for my call. i have no idea what he was talking about with google....but before i give this person any business of mine, i would rather sit on the floor in my home. do not do business with this person. read more
