Maynor is the real deal. It meant so much to me to have a loveseat that I could feel my femininity and independence. His prices are reasonable and his work is flawless. read more

Maynor's Upholstery - Mayor made my sofa look glamorous. - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - Hayward, California

He lie and is very dishonest. Watch out for this Old man. He lied like he had replaced the old cotton and foam in my chair and when I told him the chair smell he lied and said he replaced everything. I happened to see a piece of the old stinky cotton sticking out from a place on the arm of the couch. And he broke the leg on my chair and said he didn't. This old man think he slick, but God gonna deal with him. Where is the love for your fellow man Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. read more

We had some damage done to our faux leather furniture by a young dog in her "chewing phase". (Boy am I glad that's over!) After Yelping around, I contacted Maynor to fix a dining room chair and a sofa sectional. Maynor does excellent, beautiful work at a fair price. He does his magic in his garage in a residential neighborhood, communicates mostly via cell phone, and is quite flexible on times for consultations, drop offs and pick ups. And he's a nice guy, with a good sense of humor. I will say that if you want to avoid the unfortunate experience of another unhappy yelper, take it upon yourself to write things down that you feel are important. Maybe ask him to initial it. Maynor is not big into paperwork, and he may not remember the original quote or other details of the agreement. I don't believe there's anything shady in his motivations. I think he's just more workman/artist than bookkeeper. read more

Maynor was the best upholstery service I have used in the Bay Area. Prompt, well priced and pick up/delivery service too! Provide him with specifc instructions and he follows through with detailed explanations of the workmanship. read more

I needed some repairs on my leather couch and "yelped" to see if there is a good place around. I couldn't really find a place but based on the reviews I picked out Maynor's and I am really happy I did. The quality of the work was excellent, but the service was even better. Really nice guy! I definitely recommend Maynor's. read more

I posted a positive review to Google two years ago when Maynor upholstered my very difficult dining chair seats. He was referred by a friend who just had him upholster her two leather sofas. My neighbor saw his work at my home and had him upholster her antique chair and was very pleased with the result. Maynor is a very pleasant, courteous person who did a great job on all three of these recent projects, promptly and for a reasonable price. I'm concerned some of the other recent reviews are so negative, as I don't think this is reflective of his larger body of work. read more

This guy's a hack!! I really wanted to like this guy, but in the end it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a business. He's a very nice guy, and in the beginning I was thinking "old world craftsmanship" but I think that was just a big deception. But he's a salesman who will tell you whatever he needs to BS you. I needed to have a leather car seat recovered,so I brought it to him, and he said he would call me with a price. So I wait and I wait, and I call him a few times but nothing. So, after 3 weeks, he finally calls me back and gives me a price which seems good for what we had talked about. Oh, he says he'll start on it the following week. I ask" when's it going to be done"? He says the following Friday. He also says that he's going to replace everything but the headrest. I say fine go ahead. So, on that Friday, 5 weeks from when I'd brought it to him, I call him, and he says it's not ready. Call me Monday, he replies. I get upset, tell him it's not what he told me. 2 hours later he calls me and tells me it's done. So now I go to pick it up, and in his dimly lit garage it looks good. not perfect but good. My daughter want her car back, so I pay him $375, and leave. I get home in the sunlight, and see that the color doesn't match, he didn't replace the back panel, and I as look closer, guess what, there's not an ounce of leather on this thing. It's all Vinyl. Plus the stitching's not straight, the panels don't line up So I call him up, and tell him that he didn't replace the back, and he replies "It was in perfect condition" That's not the point, you said you'd replace it. And the color doesn't match, he replies " Oh, it'll blend in he says". Now I'm getting mad. So I say but it's not leather, and the replies "Oh vinyl is stronger than leather" Now I'm insulted. So I tell him I want my money back, and he says ok. So I drove over there, and now he's got somebody else to back him up. I ask for my money back, and he gives me $275. I say I gave you $375, and he says no, it was $275. Can you see the steam coming out of my ears now? On one hand he says that I only paid him $275, and at the same time he tells me he wants money for his time and material. The worst part of this whole experience is not only that he lied repeatedly to me, but he did it with a sense of calm that made me believe that he's done it many times before. Run, don't walk from this guy read more

Maynor's Upholstery is about as good as it gets. His work is of the highest quality and craft. The service is equally outstanding -- works very quickly and is very responsive. Plus, he's just the nicest, kindest person. I highly recommend Maynor's Upholstery. read more

Maynor charged us $500 and did a HORRIFIC job on our sofa AND broke our $300 antique clock when delivering the sofa & now he wants to give us a $20 refund! - My next stop is BBB on the way to taking him to court. He should not be in business. read more

Very beautiful job on my chair. Looks great. They did it in a week too, but then they didn't call me soon enough so I could pick it up before they went out of town. A bit frustrating on the calls and being there business side, but make up for it in the quality craftsman department. Anything can happen at an upholdstery shop--so it is wonderful that this place knows how and does it very well. Don't judge Maynor by his not phoning etc, he really knows his stuff and gets the best out of his workers. I paid cash since his card reader wouldn't work. No problem for me. But I would feel better paying cash anyway there. Plan on it. I just handed him an envelope-fine by me. But let me tell you for quality work like this--you do have to pay. If you would rather buy new--do it. It is only for your quality pieces that you can't bear to part with. Nowadays people rarely know the difference, but these guys know and know how. Highly recommend them. The shop is in a seedy strip mall and I wouldn't go there in the dark, but really it is ok in the day. Maynor is a nice guy and likes to crack jokes, so just laugh and make his day. read more

Maynor did a great job on our dining chairs, they look brand new again. His price was very reasonable and it only took him three days to finish them. I was impressed of his work ethics and he is funny and easy to talk to. read more

Great job - I replaced the fabric and cushion of my dinning chairs. It looks like new and stylish after the upholstery. Fast delivery - I got all four chairs back in a week. Reasonable price - Maynor is very easy about the price. Good service - I pick up and drop off my own chairs, but they do delivery. Easy to communicate - Maynor speaks very well English and he is a nice guy. The new location is at: 90 West Jackson Street, Hayward, CA 94544 read more

We needed our 1920's era built-in kitchen eating nook reupholstered. I found Maynor through Yelp.* and eagerly gave him a call. It's my pleasure to report that the positive reviews are accurate, Maynor is a gracious and talented man and craftsman. Our project was completed and installed the day before Thanksgiving and it is gorgeous! Maynor helped me select reasonably priced and beautiful performance fabric, and he designed the new seat and backs for easy removal for occasional dry cleaning. Every step of the process exceeded my expectations. "Tip of the Hat" for a well deserved 5 star rating. read more

Maynor's work is excellent! I had two antique chairs reupholstered and they are exquisite. He is also very reasonably priced, quick to do the work and very pleasant to do business with. I wish I had more chairs for him to work on. Highly recommend. read more

Oh my goodness! Maynor does an amazing job with old, worn out furniture. I took my 20+ year old sofa and love seat to him. They were well used for years by my teens and all their friends. In less than 2 weeks he made them beautiful again. I love them even more than when I purchased them. He is also very fairly priced in comparison to others I checked with nearby. Give him a call or email him. He is fast to respond and completes the job as promised. His work is perfection! read more

Maynor is the best! Came to us for an estimate, helped with fabric selections, and did excellent work on reupholstering our conference room chairs. When I told him that I wished I had more of these chairs, he told me he could build exact copies--and he did! Now I have enough chairs, all match, and look brand new. Maynor is very professional, courteous and charges are very reasonable. I recommend him 100%! read more

Great Service and great repair. I called Maynor's for an upholstery repair since the back of my sofa's wood was cracked at one side. This is the main wood the supports the sofa at the top back which runs across the sofa. Maynor's gave me a good price for the repair and also picked up the sofa on a Saturday morning and returned it on Tuesday. Most importantly, the sofa was repaired to my expectations and the wood he used is more robust. read more

Maynor recently did a magnificent job re-covering a pair of armchairs that had belonged to my grandmother! Not only was his bid significantly lower than any other upholsterer, but he picked up/dropped off at no extra charge, turned the job around in less than a week, and was a pleasure to do business with. I whole-heartedly recommend using his services - you will be very very pleased! read more

I was very happy with Maynor's both the quality and his personal service. I bought a couch that gave little support for my back. Maynor came right out and was very knowledable and helpful. He redid the cushions and returned them in a timely manner. When I tried them out they felt too firm which was what I had told him I wanted. He said he would redo them no problem and no extra charge for picking them up again. He is not only excellent at his craft; but he is very professional and honest and helpful. I highly recommend him. It is rare to find such personal service these days. I called one place that was given good reviews, but they never called me back and sounded very rushed on the phone. I would go with Maynor's instead. read more

The turn around was great! He honored the price he said based on a picture I emailed and I love the detailed and fine job this nice upholstery did for us. Thank you Maynor and we'll bring you our chairs soon!! read more

I called Maynor and he text me a price to redo my couch and chair pillows. When he delivered them he said the price was going to be more than what he had told me. Instead of $450 he wanted $850. I refused and gave him what I thought would cover the delivery charge. He did not repair my 4 arm rest covers that just needed a little sewing. He took them and said he had another delivery in the area and he would drop them off next week. When next week came and went there was no delivery of my arm rest covers. When I called him about it he did not know who I was or what I was talking about He was in LA and he said he would call me when he returned which never happened. I still have not heard from him and do not have my arm rest covers. I used Maynor 10 years ago and I do not know what has changed for him to now treat his customers in this shoddy way. I will not be calling him anymore. He did a quality job on my pillows so that was the only reason he got one stsr read more

Maynor is a craftsman, that's what he does best, don't judge him by how he answers phone or if he gives you receipt or not (like some people have). He will go any length to accommodate what you need. He provided 2 day turnaround for our chairs and has done factory quality work. He is an excellent person once you get chance to meet and deal with him. Thanks Maynor! read more

I've been wanting to re-upholster my couch for quite some time, but never got around to it until now. Yelp has always been on the money so when I saw the reviews I didn't hesitate. Maynor was quick to respond. In the end there was a discrepancy in the price so be sure you get it in writing exactly what needs to be done and how much the job will cost - for that I had to lose one star. I had mentioned I wanted the cushions replaced as part of the job and when he emailed to tell me it was ready I asked if the cushions were replaced and he would never answer the question.Unfortunately, someone else delivered the couch so I couldn't ask him directly. In the end the cushions were not replaced, but wrapped so I was a bit disappointed. The job was done well and it turned out really nice. I think if everything was put in writing I would have had a better experience. Still would recommend. read more

This place is great. I needed 2 seat covers installed on my bikes. They put them up at a fraction of the price competitors charge and even fixed some patches that were missing in the foam without even charging me. I will diffidently use then again. read more

I am another highly satisfied customer. Maynor arrived when promised, accurately diagnosed the problem with our recliner mechanism, and promptly repaired and returned the article. He is a pleasant and personable gentleman, and we will certainly contact him again when needed. Gary B, April 11 2011 read more

As an interior designer, I work with Maynor frequently. He does beautiful work for a reasonable price on a timely basis. He re-upholsters existing furniture, makes new upholstered furniture, and makes custom pillows and cushions. he is pleasure to work with. As long as you are very clear as to what you want, he will make it for you and deliver it. read more

The star rating says it all...Maynor is as good as it gets. I have two pieces that he reupholstered and I am so happy with the quality and detail of the work. While being professional, he has a nice demeanor as well. I contacted him for an appt, he came by the next day to give me an estimate and yardage requirements. I purchased the fabric at Beressi's. Once it arrived, Maynor picked up my pieces, the fabric and returned them in better condition than when they were new. He has my glowing recommendation. read more

Just finished a great experience with Maynor Barnica who reupholstered our 20+ year old sectional sofa. He sent us to a great place for fabric, picked up the fabric and our sectional. About a week later we had a new piece of furniture, upholstered exactly as I had requested. This man knows his business. The price was right, too. I found the best way to contact him is by phone. read more

Maynor's is phenomenal !!! They reupholstered an old worn out 1920's antique sofa and chair that was literally falling apart , and transformed it into a museum piece. They rebuilt the entire sofa and chair which is adorned with tufting,woodcarving, and upholstery studs, the workmanship is impeccable and it was very labor intensive. Maynor is reliable,professional, reasonably priced, and a skilled master craftsman. We just love,love,love the job they did !!!!! read more

We had an old, sturdy large 3-piece sectional sofa that we loved, but the fabric was totally worn and torn. We couldn't find anything similar that was new, so we decided to re-upholster it. We got two estimates of around $2000 for labor, plus fabric. Then a friend suggested calling Maynor Barnica. He is a very experienced guy who has been practicing this craft since he was a child in Central America. He charged us around $1000 for labor, and referred us to Sal Berressi fabrics in SF, a fantastic store with great prices (see Heather, the owner -- she is great). We then decided to get new cushions for two rocking chairs, too. Maynor did a great job for a great price, and he is a very nice person who goes out of his way to accomodate customers. It is best to use email and follow-up phone calls to make sure that the details of your order are very clear. He did everything we asked and did it very well. BTW, his current business phone is his cell phone, 650-274-3574, or maynorbarnica@comcast.net. read more
