    Reupholstered dining room chairs with new padding

    Great craftsmanship. My dining room chairs look brand new. I highly recommend using Leon Custom Upholstery. Fantastic experience. Delivered as promised, even came early for Christmas!

    This is the chair -- the slip cover was made to show the beautiful lines of the chair -- not hide it!

    I contacted Leon Custom Upholstery to make me a washable tailored slip cover to fit a chair with cut outs. It turned out great! I'm really happy with the results! It was a little pricey because of the size and style but well worth it! I highly recommend them!

    Grandma's rocker after
    Brenny M.

    Leon Custom Upholstery left me absolutely speechless! Not having the heart to part with my Grandmother's rocker, I decided to have it refurbished.. After checking around a few places, Leon Custom Upholstery checked all the boxes with regard to price, delivery options, time, and quality. When I visited their shop, they had a huge assortment of fabrics to choose from. Jose came by to pick up the rocker, and I knew it was in good hands. It took about a month for the finished product, but I was starting second guessing my fabric choice since I didn't exactly remember what it looked like after all this time. Fast forward a month later, Jose delivered my Grandmother's rocker better than I could have imagined! To some, a one-month turnaround may seem like a long time. However, this small business takes on a lot of work. A lot of the time is invested in producing top-quality workmanship that shows in the end result. Thank you Leon Custom Upholstery for taking good care of something so special to me!

    Jose Leon took my dated, ugly, uncomfortable dining room chairs and transformed them into these elegant, quirky, beautiful and comfortable chairs! Great price, excellent workmanship, timely service. Cannot wait to get my antique Victorian sofa out of storage so it can be brought back to life!

    Jose Leon helped Lindsay and I with our three barstools. His work is top notch. They way his team added this small detail of piping on the edge of the reupholstered stools is very nice. He is a true craftsman. He was patient with us with choosing our fabric. He was only suggestive with a soft approach and professional opinion. He wasn't pushy at all. He had so many books to choose from with vinyl and leather. The pricing he broke down was completely accurate. Our experience here was incredible. I can't say enough about how genuine this guy is. We won't go anywhere else for our next upholstery needs. Below is the new fabric. I only wished I had pictures of the old best up fabric

    Chaise. 17pc patio sectional 3/2020

    We have a Pottery Barn 8pc (17pc cushions/backs w chaise) patio sectional needed replacement. Equivalently appointed replacement products cost around $5000-$6000. We considered online purchasing replacement cushions at around $3500-$4000. We assumed re-upholstery to be cost prohibitive but messaged Nextdoor app for upholsterer recommendations and linked up with Leon Custom Upholstery. WOW. Cannot express how pleased we are with the results. Jose Leon is a confident, capable and professional craftsman supported by a quietly efficient and productive staff. Their fabric sample catalog is enormous and in touch with current high-performance manufacturers such as Kravet, Outdura, Sunbrella, Tommy Bahama and others. They kept in frequent communication regarding fabric accessibility, fabrication time and expected delivery. Yes, they offered pickup and delivery for us as we are in a reasonable radius (and the size of our project of 17pcs). YMMV. Operating from a modest studio in Vallejo, their abilities and attention to detail is superb. See included images for some detail. Even after replacing many foam seat inserts because of expected breakdown due to age ( more than 10 yrs) , total costs fell many hundreds below a new patio set. Great things can come from local sources and Leon Custom Upholstery is a stellar operation. Don't overlook them for your next upholstery project. Joe Bob says call these sew and sews.

    We recently had our sectional reupholstered and Leon's delivered! They were responsive. Pickup and delivery were seamless. And, most importantly, the workmanship was exceptional. We love our Danish-made sectional, and they allowed us to continue enjoying our MCM comfy couch. Could not recommend more!!

    Jose recovered two recliners and four dining room chairs that used to belong to my grandmother. He was very patient while I chose fabric and got the job done sooner than I anticipated. The chairs are very comfortable and beautiful. Gram would be proud.

    Leon Custom Upholstery reupholstered my 1970'a couch. It's a large, 98" long couch. They did a fabulous job and I also found Leon very pleasant to work with. I definitely recommend them. Photos included: the "before" picture in the light zig zag shows the last upholstery done in 1991, the new is in the stripes... a 40 year old couch, now like new.

    Mr. Leon and his staff did an outstanding job reupholstering my couch, cushions and pillows. Everything from picking out fabrics to picking up the couch and delivering it back to my home. He has lots of sample books with every type of material available. He was VERY patient with me as I went back and forth on the fabric choices. Also as they worked on the couch he kept in contact with me to offer suggestions and to make sure things were done to my expectations. Needless to say, I'm VERY pleased with my custom couch. I would definitely use his services again.

She bought it in 1967 and had it reupholstered 18 years ago with beige silk brocade with very faint pink highlights. This couch was for guests when they visited. She passed and left it for me, knowing that I would take care of it. Even though it is beautiful, it is a very light color and I am concerned about that because I am going to use it every day so I had a cover made for it. This is where Pieced on Earth, Janet and her staff come in. I chose a deep green suede material. The first time I saw just one pillow completed, I almost cried. It is absolutely beautiful. She personally designed the covered for the rest of the couch adding customized touches that made it look so close to upholstered that I just had to hug it, I feel all the love she put into it. I discussed the history and she understood my desire to honor my mother and take care of it. Her attention to detail is a testament to her craftsmanship. She wanted to make sure I am happy. And I tell you she made me so very happy. I just wanted a customized slip cover. She discussed piping details with me, that I didn't even think of and how she secured the bottom looks almost like she removed the existing fabric and covered the frame. It is beautiful. She even detailed the base at the of the back of the couch cover. The curved section was a little tricky, but she took her time and looked at it checking with me to make sure, it was to my liking, I also told her it was too low for me. Solution, she had me order some 6 "wooden legs that look simply fabulous, like they were there all along. As we discussed the cover, I got a good feeling, she understood how important this process was for me. She is so personable and talented. I trusted her with a couch that has a lot of history and she respected it, took care of it and covered it with love. She is just the best and I am so glad I met her. Thank you Janet, and for choosing such talented artisans to assist you with your work. Your work represents respect, care and a high degree integrity. I have been enjoying my couch. It looks so good in my home. Thank you so very much!

I had a Chippendale chair with a broken seat base that needed to be replaced, but wanted to keep the fabric. Most places weren't interested in fixing something 'so small'.. So, I got on Yelp and decided to use their AI Assistant to find someone who could help. The responses came faster than I could have anticipated. The first one was from Leo at Leo's Upholstery. This was a business I was already considering, being somewhat close after 2 in Oakland. Leo's reviews are what sold me, outside of how responsive Leo was to my inquiry. I dropped off the chair, had a great chat with Leo about the chair, what we had done with it and other topics. He said it would be ready by Monday or Tuesday. I receive a text early on Tuesday morning, letting me know the chair was ready. We arranged a time and I came to get the chair. It was as promised. It's fixed (after many months of being damaged), it looks great, feels solid and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Leo will be my Go-To Furniture repair going forward.

It had sentimental value, so we wanted to get it reupholstered, rather than replace it. We reached out to Leo, and he was very responsive right from the beginning. He came to our house with fabric samples and gave us good advice on choosing a fabric. The chair was then picked up to be repaired and dropped off on time several weeks later. The process was very easy. And the finished chair is stunning! The craftsmanship, experience, and attention to detail by Leo Sr. is unmatched. It is much nicer than it was when we bought it new, and it is also much more comfortable. If you need something reupholstered, we can't recommend Leo's Upholstery highly enough!
