I had work done here years ago. It was a little pricey, but it was very good work. I called a week or so ago inquiring about something else but they do not make Slip Covers anyway that's all. read more

I had an old piano stool that needed reupholstering, so I found this place on line. Had pretty good reviews so I loaded my stool in the car and headed for Keepsakes Upholstery. Forty minutes later I arrive at the place and they were closed, even though their website says they are open on Thursdays. Turns out, this place is in a run down area of town that when you exit your vehicle, you definitely want to be aware of your surroundings. The store front was all dirty and dusty. Could hardly see thru the glass with all the dirt. Quite frankly, after seeing where they were located and the condition of their store front, I was kind of glad they were closed. What kind of business says they are open for business but actually they are not. read more

I can't even praise my experience with Keepsakes Upholstery enough. The workmanship and quality is top notch. Tim was a delight to work with. I had 2 wrought iron outdoor chairs that the cushions needed redone. They had a great selection of outdoor fabrics o select from. My set now looks better than when I originally bough. read more

I was headed to this part of town and thought I'd stop by with a cushion to recreate and some photos of a chair I wanted reupholstered. I called first. No one answered so I left a message. When I got to the shop, it was closed up tight despite it supposed to being open as per its website ... The next day, I got a call and I said I could be there with a chair I wanted an estimate on and two cushions I wanted replaced. Tim was very friendly. The "showroom" was a mess and the fabric selection was rather basic. I ended up having them remake two large cushions for me, in foam, although they were originally pocket coils. The cost was around $600. Several months on now, the foam seems a bit small for the fabric cover--the fabric doesn't fit or look smooth. I know this type of business is getting harder to find and is getting expensive to employ, as well. Tim had recommended I get quotes from other upholsterers and he was definitely right--Keepsakes Upholstery was significantly cheaper. I'm just not quite sold on this place yet... read more

Big shout out to Tim and the craftsman at Keepsakes Apholstery. I have had my Grandmother's old Chromcraft chairs for years. The orange vinyl was cracked and the padding was older than me. These chairs were to good to just chuck them out. So this year I decided to give them new life. The pictures do not due the look of the material justice. When the light hits it the pattern and color is like a calm blue ocean. Now all I need is one more to make a set..and a nice Chromcraft table. So if any of you out come across them let me know.

I couldn't be happier with the 6 chairs I had reupholstered. Tim is a kind and patient man with a level of integrity I seldom see these days. He managed expectations on the possible wait time (they're great at what they do so they're busy) but ended up exceeding my expectations on turnaround time. The quality of the work was perfection. I so enjoyed our conversations too. Thank you Tim! read more

We had two sets of chairs upholstered using Keepsake for the first time. Used the reviews to make our decision and our expectations were more than met. Everyone is very friendly and the work is superb. We were told the timeframe which they did keep to. I am so glad we decided to have them do our chairs. We should be able to use them another 15 years if not longer. Wonderful job!!! read more

I had 4 kitchen chairs to be reupholstered and was careful about whom I chose because they are not ordinary chairs. They appear to be more like business desk chairs with padded seats, and the backs were upholstered front and back. Keepsakes did an excellent job, and they used a really good grade of fabric, and delivered them in beautiful condition. I had the feeling that I as working with a good friend who went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Keepsakes, it's a great business, and good people. read more

We recently had 3 mid-century pieces recovered here. Tim and his team were incredibly easy to work with. He's friendly, honest and keeps his promises. He kept us in the loop about when he would get started and return our items and was genuinely interested in our satisfaction. Unlike another shop we called that couldn't even get to us for 3-4 months, this shop's lead time was only about a month. We already have our completed pieces back about two months before the other place could have started our project. He does make you buy fabric through him but having worked with an upholsterer before who let me source my own, I actually prefer Tim's method. Unless you're in the trade, you probably don't know how to judge whether you're picking something appropriate for your needs or not. Ordering through the shop, you know you're getting something these craftspeople are willing to stand behind. (Side note: He carries the same fabric line Joybird uses. I was able to match up several of my existing Joybird samples to his books and ended up using one of them on our project.) He will also pick up and deliver your pieces back home. There was one minor snafu when they were bringing one of the pieces into the house that resulted in some minor but very repairable damage. Tim brought his carpenter along with a bunch of tools to our house and fixed it on site. He clearly felt worse about this happening than we did. What matters most is that it was addressed in a timely fashion. It's nice to find someone in any trade who actually cares about doing good quality work. All of our pieces got new (and very needed) fabric, foam and padding. Two of the three got brand new legs and the carpenter had to add supports for them to the frames. The other piece got its original legs re-stained - which was badly needed. The shop retained original details as requested. When I am ready to have other pieces in my home done, I will gladly send them back here. My only "complaint" is that I'm still trying to adjust to my ratty old broken down furniture feeling so new. :) read more

I took my dining room chairs for reupholstering. Not only did they do a spectacular job but were done faster than planned. No pressure. I went in and looked at fabric, slept on it a week, went back and chose the fabric. Tim was very patient with me and the process. Thank you! LIVE my new used chairs! read more

There are not enough words to praise how wonderful Keepsakes Upholstery is and Tim the owner is the best. I contacted Tim about an old chair that I wanted to have redone for my son. My son had the chair since he was a toddler-20 years ago. The chair was in bad shape. There were holes in the fabric, it was wobbly, and all the cushioning was gone. I tried calling several shops and some called back to say that it wasn't a big enough project or they wouldn't make enough money for it to be worth their time. Most didn't even bother to call me back! Tim responded right away and was very pleasant and accommodating. We went over to the shop and he gave us a price right upfront that was extremely fair and reasonable. He allowed us to look through his fabric and gave us a wonderful discount. Tim explained every step he would be doing so that we understood completely. He took the time to explain and answer questions for my son. He let us know that he would be working us into his schedule. It was no time at all before Tim called us to say the chair was finished! He knew how much the chair meant to my so so he worked diligently to get it done ahead of our expectations. The chair is absolutely beautiful!! Tim is a true professional and an artist. His appreciation for antiques shows in every stitch. There were so many extras and he didn't charge us extra. Please go see Tim at Keepsakes Upholstery, you will not be disappointed! read more

I had two chairs reupholstered 6 months ago. One was 100+ years old and also had some damage (child wrote on it with permanent marker, two decorative pieces has come loose and a family member tried to reattach with screws). The other was roughly 60 years old from Lammert's downtown. Keepsake did an OUTSTANDING job. I was redoing my living room and knew I wanted one chair more mod and the other chair in a more ornate pattern. They cleaned the chairs, stained them to match, reattached the decorative pieces with wooden, round headed nails, managed to remove ALL signs of damage, replaced the entire spring interior of one and made custom cushions with zippers for the other. They also selected my gimp for one of the chairs and they NAILED it, I can't believe how perfect it is and how much it compliments the finished product. Re-upholstery is not cheap, but after seeing the finished product I think the price I paid was extremely fair. I could not be more pleased and would definitely return if I find myself needing to reupholster another piece. Wonderful experience! read more

My wife and I refinished some beautiful ash wood chairs and wanted to use them in our new family room. I found Keepsake online and decided to let them upholster them in a cow hide. The only word to describe the finished product is WOW! These gentlemen are a rare breed who still take pride in their craft. They respect your furniture and are quite frankly some of the nicest people I have ever met. Still have two chairs and they will be going to Keepsake. You will not be disappointed. read more

We had a love seat reupholstered and it turned out perfectly, the workmanship was outstanding. Tim and his staff are great. He took the time to go over every aspect of the job and was very informative, without pressuring us. He has a large selection of fabric to choose from, which helped, rather than having to search for fabric elsewhere. The price was very reasonable and I would definitely recommend them. We will use them again when we have other pieces we want to reupholster. read more
