I purchased some seat covers and figured out it was not a simple job. I found them in Yelp and looked at the great reviews and got in touch. Very smooth operation. Very reasonable price I believe and what a great job. Car looks like new inside. read more

Stitch1Nine - The newly recovered red stools. They look awesome! - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - National City, California

Albert was awesome. Reupholstered 2 RV captains chairs. He accidently did the skirts upside down but I brough them after the fact and forgot to label them so I take accountability for that. He offered to fix them immediately and to come down anytime. However, I was able to do it myself in less time than the drive down there since I'm in Carlsbad and he's in National City. I plan to use him for any project I have in the future he can handle. Honest dude, with a ton of experience and very reasonable pricing. He doesn't have room for vehicles overnight but can tackle anything you bring him. read more

Albert did a fantastic job repairing the driver seat in our Subaru Outback and did so with a level of service and personal care that you don't see often. He was quick to respond, provided a reasonable price, communicated clearly and promptly, showed up when he said he would, and had the whole job done in just a few hours as he promised. Highly recommended. read more

Needed stitching for my leather driver's seat 2011 Prius, and a new front panel. Got several quotes. Albert had fair pricing, great communication and was a straight-shooter. Didn't try to upsell me on anything. Thread was marine grade, so above and beyond what's required. And he did it fast. Seat's good for the next 14+ years. Thanks Albert! read more

Albert is an artist a craftsman, he knows what he is doing. First of all when you call his business he answers the phone. He listens to exactly what you need. He is very honest, told the cost of my job would be a certain amount because the best solution was a particular adhesive that most places don't carry because it's not used often. For a very small fee he agreed to come to my place and do the job. He did the job within 24 hours. Albert has old school work mentality and he uses best products and has a pride in his work because he doesn't cut corners. I appreciate all the other positive reviews, that's how I found him. Thank you Al you the man read more

Albert responded to me right away about my torn leather seat in my BMW M3. He was able to start work immediately and was done within a few hours, leaving my old torn seat looking like brand new. I got a lot of quotes from places which ranged from "we can't do it," to prices which were ridiculously high. Albert came in with a great price, took care of the work incredibly fast on a schedule which worked for me, and did an absolutely expert job. He also touched up a few other areas of my seats which I hadn't even asked about at no charge to make them look the way they should. A pro who cares about his craft and his clients. I hope I don't need any more repairs but if I do I know who I'm calling. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Stitch1Nine! I had 6 dining room chairs with saggy seats that also needed reupholstering. Every step of the way, it was easy to understand why he has a 5 star rating. I called him yesterday and he immediately answered the phone. He asked me to send pictures and measurements of chairs. Less than an hour later he send me a very reasonable quote (I know because I asked for quotes from several other places, and they all came in much higher). I dropped the seats off to him this morning and I picked them up this evening. They look great. He is very friendly and does quality work. I couldn't be happier! Thank you. read more

Repaired my driver's seat before the rip got worse. Was contacted immediately (even when he was on vacation). Great value, high quality repair, and he was so nice and I felt safe as a female alone. Even color matched to the seat. read more

Albert did an amazing job reupholstering our VW convertible bug! Looks like a new car inside. He was also able to mount the stereo speakers inside and make it look like they were original equipment. Superb job! I would highly recommend for all your upholstery needs read more

I am blown away at how Albert was able to rebuild my boat seats. These seats are 54 years old and fully custom but needed a lot of help. After searching for a few weeks and not getting responses from a lot of shops around southern CA, I found Albert and all his 5 star reviews on Yelp. I love local business and Albert was quick to answer my call and take a look at photos of my project. I knew he was perfect for the job when he said "these are classic 70's seats and I wouldn't change the look". It takes a true craftsman and artist to restore classics and make them better than the originals. Albert is that guy! read more

Bought a Acura TSX recently that needed the back seat reupholstered. I sent a service request on Yelp, and Albert responded promptly. After seeing photos he sent a reasonable quote. Most of the other responses I got wanted me to drive the car out to even get a quote, or were ball parking in a higher price range. Decided to go with Albert. He was out the next morning early, had the seat out in minutes, took it back to his shop, and returned within a couple of hours. The work was impeccable. Whole thing took less than 24 hours. Would 100% use him again (and likely will). read more

Albert was able to make my couch look new again! I ran into an issue with other upholstery shops turning me down for the fix I needed. Thankfully he did not hesitate to help. Within 24 hours of contacting him, I had my cushions back on the couch! The couch cushions had two separate holes that broke at the seams. Albert not only repaired the holes, but reinforced all of the seams on both of my cushions! I will definitely be back with any future needs! read more

Albert was super! He estimated reupholstering my captains seats, jackknife sofa and dinette booth cushions in our motorhome. He was up front with costs and reasonable in his charges. There were 14 pieces in all and were finished promptly in excellent condition. We could not be more pleased and highly recommend him to reupholster any motorhome. read more

I had 6 bar stools that needed to be reupolstered .. they said they are mobile and would come to me, they could have my bar stools done the same day !!!!!!WHAT???? seriously! I live pretty far out so i didn't want them to have to drive all the way, we met half way, picked up the bar stools and had them done the next day. Oh and did I mention the craftmanship???? Holy Cow Stellar. I seriously cannot say enough about stich1Nine absolutely telling everyone I know. read more

I am thrilled with both the customer service and the project result. I have a Vespa scooter, and the stitching on the seat had split. I decided to explore reupholstering it instead of replacing it, and that's when I found Albert and Stitch1Nine. Albert was very communicative from the get go, and provided me an accurate quote after I submitted pics. He was in my neighborhood completing another job, and come to my house with samples. I chose something right away, and he was able to take the seat with him. He delivered and reinstalled the seat the following day, and I'm thrilled with the end product. The quality is definitely high, and the overall experience was wonderful. It's obvious that he enjoys providing top notch service. Highly recommend. Before and after pics posted. read more

Almost don't want to write a review so the secret doesn't get out about Albert! He's such a cool guy though, that I only want good things going his way. This was such a great and really rare experience, that I feel compelled to write a review. I have an older van that has been carting around kids for the past 10 years. I had thought about getting a new car, but decided this van has more life in it and began to look around for someone who could help with the seats and armrests that were shredded from kids and the sun. I have looked for different solutions and talked with many people, but no one could take care of what I needed until I found Albert! I put out a request for an estimate and he called me immediately to discuss the project. We made arrangements to meet the next day. He looked at my car and gave me an estimate on the spot. I thought I was going to need an appointment or that he was going to need to order supplies and I was astounded when I told me he would start working on it that day. He even gave me a ride back! What was even crazier was he told me it was going to take 2 days and less than 24 hours later I was getting pictures on my phone with the finished project. I was totally blown away with the quality and craftsmanship. The seats and armrests look like a new car. So happy to get into my old van now! Thank you Albert for such a great experience-you have a forever client! read more

If you're looking for an upholsterer who does quality work and is professional and kind. Albert is the person to see. He provided great service and shared ideas to help us save some money with the project.

I highly recommend Albert! read more

Background: My partner and I have had this bench for a few years. We got it from a friend who didn't have a place for it anymore. We knew we wanted to get it reupholstered but never quite got around to it, so it languished in storage. This was our first time having something reupholstered and Albert did a fantastic job. He was very responsive, had several material samples for us to choose from for what we requested, and made quick work of the project. Can't recommend him and his shop highly enough. read more

Fast turn around and fair pricing. Stitch1Nine made my old dining room chairs look like new again. Thank you!

Albert deserves 6 stars!! I had a large piece of mod fabric I've loved for years and finally it occurred to me to recover ottomans I had in the garage. He did a fantastic job - squaring up the pattern, welting, fine workmanship, and he even picks up and delivers. I threw him a curve ball and asked for a spherical pillow with the same fabric -- he called it a creative challenge and nailed it. Such a nice man and reasonable prices. Albert, I'll see you again soon! PS didn't mention he brought it back the next day?!?!? read more

After calling around aghast at the huge costs to reupholster my husband's grandmother's chair (and the long wait before they could do it), I was so thankful to find Stitch1nine was willing to do it for almost half the cost, complete it within 2 weeks, and they even touched up the wood for me. It turned out beautifully and I couldn't be happier! They even had similar fabric in stock. Highly recommend! read more

Can't say enough good things about Albert's service! A had a nasty tear in the driver's seat of my Subaru Outback, and got a quote a week back from a prominent upholstery repair business in National City; the quote seemed really high, and not only would they have to order the vinyl material, which they said would take 3 days to get, but I would have to leave my car there for one whole business day! Also, this business would not except me sending them photos of seat damage to get a quote, I had to drive my car to National City to get estimate! Out of frustration, I did online search, and found Albert's repair business, and he told me to send photos of seat damage, and he immediately gave me a quote, and his estimate was 1/2 as much as what the other business offered. It almost seemed too good to be true! I brought my car to him on 6/4/24, he had the vinyl material on site, and he repaired the torn seat in 1 and 1/2 hours, and did a fantastic job! Albert is thoroughly experienced in his craft, and charges a great, low rate for his service, very affordable, considering how expensive everything is now. All of the reviews of his service on Yelp are 5 star , what more do you need to know? read more

I can't say enough good things about Albert and Miguel at Stitch1Nine. I dropped off a motorcycle seat to have it recreated in a brown durable vinyl. I fully expected the project to take about a week but Albert delivered a perfect result in less than 24 hours. The new seat is perfect in every way and he even threw in some extra padding because he knew my wife rides on the back at times.

Update: Another wonderful job done by Albert! After he repaired my two cushions last week, I did not hesitate for a second on having him back out to give my entire couch a "facelift".

I recently had Albert, the owner, reupholster three vintage chairs for me. I'm so glad I went with Stitch1Nine Upholstery, as their work is perfect. The owner came over, gave me a reasonable bid, took the chairs with him, and worked his magic. One week later, he delivered three beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly crafted chairs to my home. He took three chairs that had been shredded by my loving felines, and recreated them into the gems they were meant to be. High praise for Albert's: *Professionalism *Pride in his craft *Attention-to-detail *Old world craftsmanship *Finished product My old chairs are restored, super comfortable, and little works of art. Thank you, Stitch1Nine for the superior craftsmanship. read more

I had my leather car seat fixed here earlier this month. The driver's seat of my Mercedes' SUV was pretty badly damaged and split across one of the seams with two other large tears. Albert was very prompt in replying to my request for estimate and with scheduling a date for the repairs. He was super friendly and all repairs were performed in the time frame he quoted me. The seat looks amazing, it looks brand new again and I am very happy with the results! read more

It's with great pleasure that I get to review Stitch1Nine. With 5 days until my upcoming vacation, my boat had some bad rips in the seats. I called the owner Albert and same day he came out to my house to review the job. He showed up on time and within moments I knew I met a professional with so much passion and experience for his work. He spent time going over the job with me, giving me expert advice and said he would meet my tight deadline. He then left with my pieces in hand. Later that day, he sent me some pictures of the project, and 3 days later he returned with the finished product. And wow! He did such an amazing job! What a true professional and expert and I couldn't be more pleased. Great work, great service, fast, and I give Stitch1Nine my highest recommendation! read more

I have a beloved 20-year-old cherry-red microsuede sectional that I will never give up! Finally, one of the cushions got torn. When I started looking for upholsterers in early October I was worried that I couldn't get it repaired by Thanksgiving. I selected Stitch1Nine because so many people recommended it on a neighborhood web page I visit regularly. I called Albert Cardenas, the owner, on Monday and on Tuesday went to his shop to look at upholstery samples. Albert found the right fabric locally that same day and I picked up the finished product today, Wednesday! I am delighted. Perfect match, exceptional craftsmanship, a fair price, and he's a really nice guy to boot! read more
