    We brought in our set of four 1950s Heywood Wakefield "dog bone" chairs that were in serious need of new cushions, along with vintage fabric (Hawaiian barkcloth) we had recently found. Erick and his crew did a wonderful job - they had the fabric backed to make it more durable, which turned out great, and did some really nice detail work including new bottom-boards for the cushions so that they fit perfectly against the backs of the chairs. And, they even made a little pillow for us with the extra fabric! Most important though, the chairs look absolutely beautiful now, and my husband and I are very happy with them. I highly recommend this place; it's obvious that they care a ton about the quality of the work they do.

    We are very happy to find a great upholsterer in the Whittier area. This family business proved to be an excellent one. Not only are they courteous and friendly, they are experts with great design and repair suggestions. They are skilled in this business. We had two sturdy foot stools in need of recovering. We also wanted casters added to make them easier to move. Erick listened to us and then offered his input. That was helpful. He completed the work in a timely fashion, and returned the foot stools to us - delivered to our home. We are pleased with the work and enjoyed working with him. The casters work so well and are recessed from view - Erick's suggestion. We chose leather. The upholstery looks fantastic. He also relined the interior. He put new foam on the tops to improve them. Not only do we get many more years out of the solid frames of the original foot stools, they now roll easily and look new.

    Found them on yelp! Customer service was % they responded quickly, they listened to the details of what I was looking for in my furniture make over! And let me say they went above and beyond I was not aware of what was underneath the material of the furniture I brought them. They decided to keep the quality top notch not just what the material they provide but redesigning the pieces themselves. I was very surprised that they also made furniture pieces! I have provided photos of before and after they should speak for themselves! I'm beyond words content with the work they have delivered. I will continue to use them for any future furniture flips I do. I recommend them to anyone looking for an upholstery person! This family business has earned a new loyal customer. Thank you again guys I love my custom pieces! my guests complement the pieces and I let them know who did the work!

    We had an antique rocker reupholstered and it's gorgeous! They even covered my stepstool to match and made me a pillow. Erick & Yvette are very knowledgeable, very friendly, and do excellent work. I can't recommend highly enough. Support small family business and take your furniture to MJ's.

    New bottom

    Service was excellent asked for 6 dining chairs to be reupholstered on bottom only and Yvette came over to look at project, to help choose fabric, and to price. She was very pleasant and within a week I had new chairs. They were very meticulous in making the new bottoms. Thank you for making my new chairs.

    I recently took 6 dinning seats to be upholstered to MJ's. First, the friendly courteous greeting from Erick, the owner was a huge plus. I told him what I wanted & needed & he explained to me options I had regarding materials/fabrics. He showed me options for the cushioning & had me sit on sample chairs to in order to decide what I liked. I like that he does not pressure you into anything & just explains the differences on the options I choose. His price was very fair & the turn around time he gave me was more than reasonable. He actually had them ready a couple of days sooner than expected, which was very appreciated. His work was outstanding. My mom, (RIP) was a seamstress in the furniture business & I recognized the quality of his work. I am 100% happy & satisfied with his workmanship & service. I highly recommend MJ's, a family owned business. I am going to have them reupholster a reclining chair I have also. Great work, great people

    Erick did it again! This time he revived my mom's old sofa. I grew up with this couch and though I never really liked it that much, it's at least 70 years old and when the time came, I didn't have the heart to get rid of it. Now, she's GORGEOUS and I have it in my office so I can enjoy it all day long. :-)

    Emblem

    My family just received our favorite rocking chair that has been in the family for years from this company. We are so happy with the result as they did exactly what we wanted and it came out beautifully! We wanted stripes and they line up perfectly. Thank you MJs!

    Newly redone ottoman. Cat approved, too :-)

    Great service. Excellent quality and craftsmanship. I took my well used, twenty year old ottoman to MJ Custom Upholstery for a redo. I wasn't really sure what I wanted but they showed me many different samples/examples/fabric swatches and discussed what they could do and gave me some great ideas. I finally settled for this one (picture below) which I absolutely love. I'm sure I'll get another twenty years from this one. I already plan on returning with my dining room chairs to have them reupholstered as well. Highly recommend!

    If you're looking for upholstery work look no further this is the place! Eric and his family are so warm, kind, helpful, and reliable. In today's world you don't find this very often. From our first interaction we knew we were in the right spot. They have a large selection of fabrics to choose from and Eric was very helpful at explaining the different types and what would be best for our families everyday wear and tear. They picked up our sectional and delivered it when completed taking the stress away from us. We will definitely coming back! Please support this business and kind family. If I could give more stars I would!!!!!!!!!

Our home has teak trim and architectural features. Many of the surfaces that get a lot of sun exposure needed work. Indy came out, evaluated what needed to be done, and Teak Master promptly sent an estimate. The senior crew supervisor was Indy, and our crew consisted of Andres, Arturo, Samuel, Abidan, and Juan. They were here for three days, sanding and refinishing the teak. As an example of their attention to detail, my wife has a lot of potted plants on the patio. It was no surprise that they moved all the potted plants out of the way. The surprise came at the end, when Indy took out his phone, looked at the photo he had taken three days earlier, and directed the crew as they put every plant back in its original position! Nobody else has ever done that. And, on the day the trash was collected, I left the barrels on the driveway, to give the crew more room in the side yard. After they left, the barrels were back where they belong. It's the little things. Although Indy and I had examined the house in advance to determine the scope of work, as they were wrapping up Indy looked at the garage doors and pointed out that after refinishing the other areas, the doors looked a bit shabby. He was right. I look forward to having them back in a few weeks.

We highly recommend Teak Master for your needs to rejuvenate your worn teak wood. We plan to continue to use them to keep our teak wood so beautiful long-term.

I spoke with James, who promptly requested that I send photographs of the damage. Within thirty minutes, I received a very reasonable estimate. Initially, James informed me that the earliest available appointment was on Friday. However, when I mentioned that my family would be arriving on Wednesday and that I would appreciate completing the repairs beforehand, he went above and beyond. To my pleasant surprise, he was able to accommodate me just two hours later on the same day. It was an added relief that the technician who had previously repaired my tub ten years prior arrived at our doorstep. Miguel performed the work with the same high standards as before. He is very professional, a nice and friendly guy with thorough attention to detail and evident pride in his craftsmanship. He left the workspace neat, and the bathtub now appears to be in excellent condition. The three- to five-year durability of the repair speaks to the quality of ProTub's craftsmanship. Should I require further services such as reglazing or refinishing in the future, ProTub will undoubtedly be my first choice. I sincerely
