See all

A true craftsman. Luis recovered my sofa, we had to work over the phone and with pictures. as I was unable to go into the store. Luis was incredibly patient and helpful. He helped my pick a fabric to meet my needs and even called me back when he found a better deal on a fabric he thought I'd like even better. He picked up the sofa, fixed all the cushions and recovered the sofa and made zippered covers for all the cushions. He even added some extras, which I had meant to ask for but forgot- like arm covers and some throw pillow covers. He also brought two options for the back cushions so I could test what I liked best. I couldn't be happier with the results, and it was a pleasure to work with someone that values high quality workmanship!!! I LOVE my sofa more than when it was brand new. He did such high quality work. It was worth every penny and I have already recommended him to lots of my friends. read more

Luis did a fine job recovering our bar stools with leather like fabric. He completed the work in a reasonable timeframe. Very good to work with read more

Sofa savers saved my couch! I have a well loved Shabby Chic down couch with seat cushions that were so smooshy. I sent it the measurements, came by and picked out the white denim and in a few weeks my couch is as good as new. He even built the covers so that when I put them back on after I wash them I know which side is which. I am so happy. read more

I have this chair that I bought 25 years ago! Still comfortable and I love the style but the fabric was thinning and wearing out in places. I started looking at re-upholstering it and found Luis at Sofa Savers! He's a great find and a true craftsman. The chair looks great and is so comfortable. Great workmanship! It has another life! Thanks Luis!! read more

Sofa Savers - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - San Rafael, California

I have had the pleasure of working with Luis for over 30 years now. I have recommended him to many of my clients over that time and everyone of them tells me what a great job he has done for them. He is a true craftsman. I originally worked with him back in the early 90s when I managed a furniture store in San Francisco. Occasionally upholstery pieces would come in damaged and he would repair them for us. The repairs were so good that they exceeded the original quality that we received from the factory. I highly recommend him. Ed Minto at The Roman Shade Company. read more

Our polyester back cushion inserts for our couch got ruined in a home flood and the couch was no longer sold by the original vendor so we were in a bind. I was so glad to find Luis' shop in the area. He got the inserts done in about a week and they are even better than the original inserts that we bought from west elm! Comfortable, sturdy, and high quality. read more

Luis recently reslipcovered my sofa and loveseat. He did a perfect job and the furniture looks so beautiful. He really is an artist. I highly recommend him. read more

In 1987, two friends convinced me to spend almost $2000 on a sofa and $1400 on the matching love seat. Their rationale was that it makes sense to spend $$$ on quality-made pieces of classic design. Well ... they were right. Fast-forward almost 23 years. Time for a change. But ... I still love the style of my furniture. Just not the thread-worn fabric. Researching the furniture line, my sofa now retails @ $5500 & my love seat @ $4600. YOWWWWWW!!! Enter Luis of Sofa Savers. He concurred that I'd spent well in 1987 because the frame and springs of my furniture were in great condition. I decided that re-upholstery was the right option. Luis and his assistant came to SF from San Rafael and picked up my furniture. The work was done and delivered in less than two weeks. Luis changed the foam in the cushions and made new matching pillows as well. I'm happy to say that the entire job was done for about $800 less than it would have cost to replace the love seat alone. And best of all ... the work is of the HIGHEST quality. Thank you, Luis! read more

Just had my sleeper sofa recovered by Luis at Sofa Savers, and, wow, I am totally impressed by the job he did. Loved the free pickup and delivery, loved the selection of fabrics in his shop, loved his can-do attitude, but mostly, we love the way the couch turned out. The seams are sharp and straight, the welting is exactly done, the cushions are perfectly stuffed... GREAT job on the sewing. Thank you Luis (and son) for turning my 25 yr old lumpy couch into a lovely comfy welcome addition to the living room! Now... onto the chairs... I'll be back soon.... read more

We just had our kitchen love-seat and a set of pillows recovered by Luis at Sofa Savers and could not be more thrilled. We recently moved to Belvedere and our friends/neighbors told us about him with a raving review. Of course, he exceeded our expectations. His work is beautiful and will cost you far less then other places (we called around). We are in the process of making other decisions for furniture around our house and will always turn to him for assistance going forward. We feel so lucky to have found such great service. Thank you Luis as we are very happy now in our kitchen. All the best, Sara read more

Love their work and wouldn't go anywhere else. They're dependable, inexpensive and always do nice work.

First of all let me start by saying Luis does not need this review at all. He has a long waiting list of customers. If you want something done here - let him know early. We had a very old Multy Sofa from Ligne Roset. It is 20 years old but besides the cover it was immaculate. We had a new cover done in Germany as that was much cheaper than doing it here in the US and then we called Luis. It was a project he had never done before but he did a fabulous job. He came by the house and checked out the sofa and gave us a fair quote. The "other" sofa upholster up the road was going to charge double and there is no way they could have done it any better than Luis. Luis needs a bigger space. He could hire a few people and make a real name for himself but I think he is content in keeping things small and working for himself and his family. I said to my husband that "Luis is the perfect example of a successful immigrant story that makes this country amazing and diverse." read more

I called Luis and sent him pictures of a couch I want reupholstered. He was very professional and prompt in replying to my calls and texts. I haven't had any work done yet, I was just looking for a quote. If I decide to reupholster I will definitely go with Sofa Savers. read more

Had 20 year old Baker love-seat, wing-back, and chair whose coverings were in pretty bad shape after raising 2 kids and a few dogs. Looked at new, but replacement cost were beyond my current budget and did not want lesser quality. Was not sure about reupholstering because the chair and love-seat have ornate tufting. But some friends recommended Luis. Saw what he could do and I went with him. Love the job he did and the cost. He even fixed the wing-back where the dogs had chewed on the arm. read more

Luis of Sofa Savers reupholstered two couches for us. Highest quality work. Highest quality person to do business with. Luis and his son previewed the couches at our home, suggested the quantity of fabric needed, picked up the couches and delivered them back to us after they beautifully reupholstered both. Gorgeous work. It is also possible to review and purchase fabric at Luis' shop, Sofa Savers in San Rafael. read more

Sofa Savers did a great job of repairing my leather sofa and even tipped me off as to where to buy my own leather to keep the cost down (Stevenson-Paxton http://www.yelp.com/biz/stevenson-paxton-sales-novato#hrid:uQbXQ1Nyvb9O5TqUhmvYxA). They can be a little slow to return phone calls so if you leave a message you should let them know if you are pressed for time. read more

Had a very expensive couch and two large chairs reupholstered in restoration hardware linen. They also put new foam and down in cushions and pillows. Just like new. Thanks. read more

I just had a large chaise lounge reupholstered by Luis at Sofa Savers & couldn't be happier with the work he did. He has a very large selection of fabric swatches, but he allowed me to use my own fabric. His price was fair and the work was better than when I first purchased the chair. I couldn't have found a new one at the price I paid to recover the existing piece. He picked it up and delivered it at no additional charge. The chaise was ready in a timely fashion and I would highly recommend Sofa Savers to anyone who needs quality reupholstery work done. read more

Luis did a fantastic job on re-stuffing a 58-year old high quality Italian living room set (4-seater, 2-seater and two armchairs). He also re-constructed the covers for armrests. Luis was a pleasure to work with -- and compared to others we talked to he was reasonably priced, and did not over-promise. He gave real thought to the process, and everything was delivered on a timely basis. Full stars, strongly recommend! read more

Luis re-upholstered 6 dining room chairs for me. These chairs had great sentimental value. They were my mother's. They were part of a dining room table set over 50 years old. I am extremely pleased with the final product, and especially satisfied with Luis. He was patient, explained the process well, worked with me to make changes. The experience was very positive. He is very creative at finding solutions to problems. The seat did not sit completely flat on the chair. He came up with a way to have it fit snugly to the chair bottom by screwing the chair bottom in at a different place. Makes the chair look finished and beautiful. He also advised added piping which gave a very finished look. I also had him make pillow backs using the fabric of the seats. The result was beautiful. They are a perfect addition to the chairs. I am now having Luis do re-upholstering of my folding chairs. I would use him for any future projects. I was especially impressed with his honesty. I had initially looked at other upholstery places. I decided on using Luis based on his Yelp reviews. He had more reviews than other stores, and they were positive and recent. I am so happy with my choice in using Sofa Savers. I highly recommend Luis. read more

I had my big couch & big chair reupholstered. They both are georgous. Love the color I picked out. Luis is the best. So glad I did this rather than buy a new cuch & chair. Beautiful work. Natasha read more

Unfortunately Luis is really rude. I brought my chair to him to speak to him for 3 minutes and get questions answered but I was told that he was at the bank and to come back in 40 minutes. I came back in 40 minutesand he was eating his lunch. He asked me to give him a few minutes instead of simply taking 3 minutes to answer my question. So I said sure. I waited and then finally I went back in and he was just sitting there. He said he needed five more minutes. In the end he quoted a price that was an over charge. No thank you- you are rude, Luis. read more

Recently I had Sofa Savers repair a structural defect on the arm rest of a double love seat recliner. Luis picked up the sofa on time and returned it one week later as promised. He did a very professional job and even inspected the other arm rest and made repairs to that so that there would be no future problems with the chair. I am very happy with service and quality of his work. John P. read more

Luis and his son are fantastic! I've had cushions replaced in a couch, chairs reupholstered, as well as couches and love seats. Everything that's been redone in my home has been done by them. Luis is patient, friendly, expert at what he does,and his work is is perfect. I found him accidentally and wouldn't go to anyone else, ever! The results are just amazing! His workshop is just that, a workshop, not a showroom that ends up costing the customer more money. He does jobs in a timely manner and comes through on his promises. I can't say enough about what a really excellent craftsman and person he is. read more

I went to Sofa Savers in hopes that they could repair a leather tufted seat cushion that had a tear at the seam and would not break the bank. The owner took a look at it and said he would be able to fix it and quoted a great price. After a week the cushion was ready and looked like the tear never existed. The place is not fancy but a true working shop, the owner is a very nice man who has been doing this for a long time. I would absolutely go back if I need any other repairs . read more

We've had Luis and his family-run shop reupholster 3 pieces of furniture over the past two years. Not only is their work top notch, and at very fair prices, but they are also very nice people. We highly recommend. read more

Luis did an amazing job recovering a vintage chair for me. He picked it up and brought it back, communicated with me on an important question, and added foam that took it just another step up. The price was reasonable and I am very happy with the work. read more

Luis reupholstered a sofa and love seat for us. The quality of his workmanship and the attention to detail were phenomenal. When you add this to the reasonable price he charged we are extremely pleased with his work and are already planning to have another piece refurbished by him. read more

If you want quality upholstery, slip covers, or just to have your pillows and cushions redone, this is the place for you. I brought 4 large down pillows and a very large down sofa cushion to be redone. I had the slip covers cleaned and brought them back to sofa savers. Within a week, I had my new inserts. I also had an old rocker completely redone. The price is right and the quality is very high..I recommend Sofa Savers unreservedly. read more

We worked first with Sofa Savers on a relatively simple task; six seat cushions for 6 dining room chairs with tapered edges. Amazingly, six days later Luis called, we picked them up and they were beautiful. For an amazing price as well. With left-over fabric there, we brought in an old settee and Sofa Savers restored it, cushions, back, piping, buttons, hemp webbing, the works. After a reasonable time and what appears to us as a reasonable price he did it all. Again, in a word, beautiful. Luis is knowledgable and honest; he has a nice way about him with a gentle sense of humor. We strongly recommend Sofa Savers. read more

Luis reupholstered 2 uniquely different antique chairs (one with a matching footstool) and did an incredible job. His attention to detail and craftsmanship is unsurpassable. I wish I could attach a photo to show how perfectly the pattern was matched all around and the welting impeccably done! He is truly talented. He's also an incredibly nice guy, easy to talk with, the work was priced fairly and completed in the time frame promised. Having owned 5 homes I have had a fair amount of custom upholstery done in the past, mainly in New York. I can say that Luis is among the best.... I highly recommend this business!! read more
