What a great upholster. It was time again to redo the dinning room chairs after 20 years since he last did them and he did a marvelous job for us as usual. He has been doing this locally in Santa Maria for ever. All my work goes there because he does exactly what you request and charges a fair price. He is a cottage business so don't expect a fancy showroom expect to see rolls & rolls of material and seamstress working non stop. read more

We called Gilbert on a Tuesday, took him our bedroom bench to rebuild and reupholster on a Wednesday and picked it up on Thursday! This is the best service I have ever had! His attention to detail and great workmanship exceeded our expectations. He had the fabric in stock and was so enjoyable to do business with. I am already recommending him to friends and family. read more

Gil and his crew did an amazing job on our 40 year old chase, they are artists in the upholstery field

My dog completely destroyed my couch cushion by ripping a hole in the fabric and tearing apart the cushion itself. I loved that couch, and I was heartbroken at the thought that the damage might be irreparable. On Monday, I reached out to Townsend to explain the situation, and they instructed me to bring the cushion in. I delivered it that same morning, and they assured me it would be ready by the end of the week, if not sooner. To my surprise, they called me the very next day! Not only was the repair completed incredibly quickly, but it also looks absolutely stunning. I am truly grateful for their craftsmanship! 20 out of 10 would recommend!!! read more

Super happy with the work Townsend did for us. We used them years ago, so they were our first call. The headrest of our leather sofa became damaged. Townsend quickly made the repairs and did a great job matching the leather. He even had suggestions on how this may have happened & ways to avoid it in the future. A few things to know - they haven't been on Main Street for years. They are now located at 420 S Curryer. Don't be confused by the sign on the building - it's no longer the Piano Palace. We hit a couple of snags but only because our sofa has an actuator that moves the headrest. Once that was figured out, the owner actually delivered it to our home. The workmanship was outstanding, the price was fair & the work was completed quickly. We will definitely be our first call next time! read more

Gilbert was super helpful, honest, and saved me a lot of money versus the dealership. Thank you so much for fixing my mold issue on the back pocket of my car driver seat. Yelp has outdated address, call for updated location. Highly recommend!! read more

I took two counter stools to Gilbert at Townsend Upholstery. He had one of them completed the same day, and the other the next day. His quote was very reasonable, and they looked like new. I would definitely recommend his business. read more

I called because I needed to get a cushion in my recliner that was part of my couch stuffed to make me not sit in a hole. You can't take it off and to the shop. He came out and fixed it perfectly and at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend him. read more

They did exceptional repair on my BMW. They repair the roof lining and the front seats. I recommend this business.

The BEST experience. Gilberto is a master at his craft and he and his wife make a spectacular team. They went above and beyond in picking up and dropping off my leather sofa that was ripped up by our puppy. The seats dont come out and I could not believe my eyes. It looked as if the rip NEVER happened. With 35 years of experience, you are getting top notch service and craftsmanship. Don't believe me? Take a look at my pic. I also know that this business takes care of the Chumash Casino on a regular basis and even reupholstered 2,500 pieces over a year's time. You don't get these kinds of contracts unless your service and quality is a cut above the rest. AND you don't get 5 stars from me unless you stand out head and shoulders above the competition. Don't hesitate calling Townsend Custom Upholstery. This is a real craftsman with a big heart for the community. read more

I took 6 dining chair cushions 4 window seat cushions and had Gilbert make me 10 pillows for my window seat. They were done in 1 1/2 weeks. They all turned out beautiful!

This guy IS THE BEST in the business when it comes to reupholstering furniture. In fact, he's so good, even CHUMASH CASINO trusts him with ALL their chairs. They love his work! And you will too. He goes above and beyond to help repair any sofa. First he asks to send him some pics of your furniture. Then he shows up the same day to pick it up. Had it back looking BRAND NEW by the end of the week. Can't even tell where the original damage was. He's got a heart of gold too with a Givers Gain attitude. If you ever need a piece of furniture repaired, don't throw it out!! Give him a call read more

Four chairs were upholstered perfectly. Will use Townsend for any future upholstery work without hesitation.

Townsend came highly recommended. Went in Saturday before Christmas. Wanting to have my Queen sofa sleeper reupholstered. Found a beautiful fabric in gray. Townsend came out within an hour, picked up my sofa and let me know it would be finished and delivered Christmas week. They delivered it on December 28. I could not be happier, beautiful job. Doesn't even look like the old sofa. Very professional, courteous and their rate is far less than I expected. If you are considering having a piece of furniture reupholstered, go to Townsend Custom Upholstery. You will not be disappointed. read more

Townsend came highly recommended to us by friends and coworkers. We wanted to reupholster our leather couches that our boxers have over the last ten years have scratched up to the point that the leather was just peeling off (it wasn't leather we found out but a form of leather) First he has you text pictures of what you need done then he gives you a price. Our couches we loved because they were oversized, deep and really comfortable. They had good bones, just needed new leather! First he picked up the cushions and was honest that he was really busy and it may be a week to ten days. No rush, we have another sitting room. Then he picked up the couches and again we told him no rush. My couches look as they did the day we bought them except now it's really leather. We will get another ten years out of them. (And oddly the boxers don't want to sit on them so the covers I just bought might stay in the box) read more

Townsend Upholstery is THE HIDDEN GEM ON THE CENTRAL COAST!! I say hidden because I had not heard of Townsend until Couch Potato in Pismo Beach raved about their work when I asked for a referral. The manager said Gilberto was the best and she was not exaggerating. We have used two other upholsterers in town and Gilberto's work was clearly superior. Our sectional, with "Baja Ice" fabric, is simply stunning. Stunning, and comfortable and a delight to sit on. We've lived everywhere from Montecito to Paso Robles and if we ever moved back to those places I'd always bring my work back to Townsend. Well done, Gilberto. Well done. read more

I had a bad experience with this place because I went in and requested a change in the fabric and they did not, NOT, make the formal change of fabric. EVEN with ample time and formal visit requesting the change. he Owners response to it was ... Blaming an employee and saying that , she does not know what is going on..... My answer then ??? WHY do you have her there. actually my concerns were dismissed by the owner and $800.00 later, I felt upset that the owner did not agree to at least show concern for the mishap. I will NOT GO BACK. read more

Gilberto is a very nice gentleman. I took in my emergency brake boot cover to have repaired because a rat found his last meal . And devoured it . Gilberto took a look at it and said he would call me when it was ready. I dropped it off at 1:30 pm and it was ready by 4 :00 pm . Talk about surprised ! He was still open after 5:30pm and I was super duper happy . It fit perfectly and he used real leather instead of vinyl which tickled my fancy ! I will return . read more

This small shop on Main Street is a powerhouse of professionalism an skill! My husband and I were having work done on our RV and decided to have the cab seats and couch reupholstered at the same time. Gilbert, the owner met us at the RV repair shop, took measurements, and got to work that day!!! His team removed the couch and seats, reupholstered everything in an amazing upgraded version of the same material, identical in color, and reinstalled all 3 pieces on time for us to get back on the road as scheduled!!! Gilbert even added a couple of pillows out of the same fabric as an added bonus!!! I would return to Townsend with any future Upholstery needs!!! read more

I love how this Victoria lady can say that. I have known Gilbert at Townsend Upholstery all my life. I've been working for him for 10 years and not once have we heard of you. We do not, NOT receive any money until the job is done and customer is happy, so i'm sorry but your false accusations are just making yourself look bad. Sorry to be so direct but if you have a problem you can come talk to me. Here's my number: 805-925-6860. No need to spread slander on the internet. And yes I am his son so this offends me and my family. read more
