I received terrific service today from Howard's Upholstery. I had a button tufted piece of furniture that required repair, and Chuck knew exactly how to fix it and did so quickly. Professional, experienced and friendly service. Don't hesitate to contact Howard or his assistant Janine with your upholstery repair needs. You won't be disappointed! read more

Having our chairs done at Howard's Upholstery was a fantastic experience. The workmanship was impeccable, the speed at which they were able to deliver the finished product was great, the fabrics are beautiful and the service was the best I can remember anywhere. I'm not a relative and I'm not getting paid, I really mean it. Beginning with Jannine's follow up and patience with us, welcoming us into the workshop and using her design experience to help me find exactly what I needed, to Chuck's way of making you feel like you've been there before many times, we were really impressed. Chuck was also very generous with us (I won't say how but you'd have been elated, as we were). The work they did was for our indoor barstools and dining room chairs and they look beautiful! I would recommend ANYONE to go to Howard's-unless you are mean and then stay away ;-) Oh and while you are there ask Chuck to show you his sea saw. read more

I have a couple of patio chairs they reupholstered for me. Everyone asked me why not buy new ones. The cost would have been the same. But I didn't want new ones these were my moms and they were still in good condition the sun just ruined their fabric. Howard's went above and beyond making my chairs look new. The whole transaction from the first phone call, several emails and eventually the finish, was really pleasant. THANKS! read more

I see these positive reviews however my experience today was quite different. It appeared I was an inconvenience for stopping by for a quote to reupholster 8 cushions. Quote "im very busy and you have no appointment " My response, didn't know i needed one! Then reluctantly said $500.00 per cushion. I've learned enough to know if the owner gives you the feeling they don't want your business, leave. So I did! Shame because i have high end, designer furniture that I need upholstered, but not here. With all of these positive reviews, I can only assume I was not the right color . How could an owner be so bothered.? The worst Ive ever been treated. Very, very rude and not a nice man. If you need an appointment, THEN say so on your site!! read more

I am beyond impressed with how Chuck and Jeanine helped restore my father-in-laws dining room chairs. The padding was soooo worn out and now they feel brand new and so much more secure then when they were brand new(from PB!) brought them home and gave them some leather conditioning myself. But you can tell the seat is much more full and comfortable. Thanks again! read more

Howard's upholstery did a terrific job replacing old worn slings of the Tropitone Garden swivel chairs for my Mom. They had a wide selection of fabrics to choose from and finished four slings and put them onto the frames. As Chuck and Janine watched how difficult it was to dislodge the chairs from the backseat of my Mom's car, when the chairs were finished, they graciously offered to deliver the chairs to her home. Not only were they nice to deal with, they were more than nice and their price for their workmanship was very reasonable. My Mom highly recommends Howard's upholstery for any work you require for your garden needs. read more

Fantastic, quick service. I thought I was going to have to buy a new sofa, but the kind man fixed everything for me. I'm so impressed. I would recommend Howard's to anyone! read more

I walked in with my cushions today or, to say, Janine greeted me at the door! She was ever so kind and helpful with my problem and solved my problem on the spot with Chuck the upholstery expert. They were both kind and accommodating as what I needed done wasn't a material they choose to work with (feather down). They came up with a solution at a very reasonable price. I walked out with refreshed cushions and a place to go back to in the future. read more

I have very high standards and needed my outdoor furniture cushions updated. I went to a couple upscale places in my hometown of Lafayette but could tell these storefronts only added another layer of cost as they were sending the work to someone else. What I needed was to go a shop and talk to a person who knows how to do the work, discuss various options and see what the result would look like (i.e., do a prototype) before I changed all my cushions. This turned out to be a great approach because Chuck actually does the work! He did the prototype and made it better than the original. He was extremely helpful and made my cushions better than new. And he loves what he does. And when someone loves their craft...it shows in the result. And another thing...AFFORDABLE! To give an accurate review, I waited a few months to see how my cushions would hold up. They are terrific. During recent parties, my friends compliment me on how comfortable my cushions are...and these are kept outside in the heat/sprinklers, not kept inside. My cushions are as good as the day I got them back from Howards. Importantly, the front office manager is diligent too. She is a great communicator and kept me in the loop on all levels. Very personable. I can't say enough about how pleased I was with Howards. I wish I could give them higher than 5 stars. read more

By far the best shop for outdoor furniture sling replacement! Service was great, friendly, fast turnaround and quality product presented back at the best quoted price in the entire Bay Area! Highly recommend Jeannine and Chuck for their outstanding care read more

Best price and best job on putting a new sling on my Brown Jordan chairs. Very professional, with personal service.

We are so happy with our window seat. Quality work and materials used! We will use Howard's again. read more

Such kind people and went SO above and beyond - not once, but TWICE. They came to our house, collected the 6 heavy patio chairs, helped me pick out fabric, completed and returned them expediently with great workmanship. Then, when 2 of our tricky patio chairs came apart - they did it all over again on all 6 chairs with smiles and pride. Never had better service and I highly recommend! read more

Very impressed with the whole process. Selection of replacement fabrics to use on our patio furniture was extensive. Furniture was picked up at our home, material was replaced flawlessly and all items were brought back to our home in a very timely manner. Highly recommend! read more

Chuck and Jannine at Howard's Upholstery are the very best! Chuck's work is incredible and his dedication to his craft is unparalleled. No furniture problem is too difficult for him to solve. Jannine's knowledge of fabric and design fits like a hand in a glove to Chuck's work. Thank you both for solving the issues with my loveseat. read more

These folks went out of their way to help my mom repair an outdoor seat cushion. Super knowledgeable, friendly and speedy service. Highly recommend! read more

I would give Howard's 10 stars if I could. We had 4 Mallin sling chaises which are 15 plus years old and needed new fabric. I found Howards through the already excellent reviews on Yelp and was not disappointed. They had an extensive selection of fabric choices; they turned the work around very quickly; they arranged for pickup and delivery; and Chuck and Janinne could not have been nicer to work with. read more

Chuck is such a nice guy. We went to visit him based on the many happy five-star ratings, and we weren't disappointed. He spent a lot of time with us talking through our needs and helped us find a very inexpensive solution. I highly recommend you check him out as well for any upholstery needs. read more

What a find; A business that proves excellent service, quality work, reasonably priced all with a smile and tucked away in our local community. It is always frustrating to find those businesses that come through... Howard's does. You will not be disappointed. read more

Rude, twice the price of a place in Richmond, and there's a friendly place in ElMonte area of Concord. Don't bother them. They didn't respond to an email so I drove over to see them. Incredibly rude people, not interested in doing chairs. Stay away. read more

I had a torn up- ratty chair that I loved, but needed a LOT of work... I brought it to Howard's, and Chuck knew exactly what to do and how to do it! My chair looks brand new and I love love love it!!! I you are looking for a quality job done by a professional, Howard's is the place to go. I look forward to happily enjoying my chair for many many more years. read more

Both Chuck and Jannine are great to work with. I had the inside of 2 cushions replaced and so happy with the new foam. One cushion needed major work as it was 2 inches to long for chair and that was fixed too. Both the couch and chair were never comfortable even when new and now they are AWESOME. I highly recommend Howard,s. Great work. I even signed up for Yelp just to give let them know. read more

It's as simple as this, we decided we liked our couch but it just needed new springs. Called Howards and got talking to Chuck who sorted us right out - even went the extra mile and helped us set up the new cushions for easy install. Fast, easy, affordable and most of all - quality from a local vendor. Thank you Chuck. read more

I went to them to reupholster black leather arm caps on my beloved home office chair. The result is great!

Avoid this place at all cost. Owner is rude, profane and very unprofessional. Dumpy little shop and crabby rude owner. Sound like a place you'd like to spend money? I was treated much better at another shop located in Walnut Creek just off the 680. read more

All I can say is AWESOME! Easy to work with, very professional, went the extra mile to make sure our customers were being taken care of while we were on the other side of the country. read more

All I can say is amazing! Chuck is a true artist. I had 2 chairs re-done in a very busy geometric fabric and they are absolute twins! Not only is the work perfection, they cradle you in comfort. read more

Great experience. They recovered my nursery rocker with a nice blue denim. The fabric is sewn straight. The comfort level is perfect for me. The length of time for completing the job was normal. Everyone was very nice and they made sure I was happy with the result. I would not hesitate to recommend this shop. read more

I found Howard's from an internet search and was very pleased with the work. Chuck took the time to repair my ottoman right when I brought it in and the cushion I wanted to have the foam replaced, was done in one day. Jeannine in the office was very sweet and helpful. I will be coming back here with more work to be done. And telling all my friends and family about the good work. TraceyM read more

We just picked up our antique ladderback chair. Chuck and his partner did an amazing job. The houndstooth fabric was matched perfectly. The old antique had to be taken apart to be upholstered. All of the pieces had been hand joined, so the reassembly was particularly difficult. We couldn't be happier with the results. read more

The workmanship at Howards is the best I've ever experienced. We chose a very difficult chevron style pattern for the upholstering of our outdoor furniture on June 14. Every stitched edge matches up, and incredibly, so does every covered button. It's like he was tailoring a $5,000 suit. Chuck Walker, the owner and craftsman of Howard's, took somewhat longer than I expected, but it was worth the wait. He is so busy helping satisfied clients, he's promising work out 6 - 8 weeks. He worked the Labor Day weekend to get our chairs finally done, and to us, that was above and beyond. We received raves from our dinner guests. They use the best Sunbrella material and stuffing/padding that won't rot or retain water. To us, he's the only game in town. The chairs are gorgeous and are good for many long years of beautiful use. Worth every penny. read more

Took the cushions from two very nice couches to be reupholstered. They did a fantastic job. Couch's feel better than new. Everyone wash helpful and outgoing. Great job, great people read more
