    Brought 6 dining room seat cushions in for new foam and new material. The choices of material swatches were at least a thousand to go through but the swatches were large enough to see how it would look on one of my chairs. And the swatches were organized by colors so it wasn't difficult to make a selection. They did a fantastic job and my chairs are very comfortable and look like new. The price was very reasonable. I highly recommend this upholstery place and if my chair backs need recaning, they do that too. From the time we ordered until I received the chairs was just a few days. Very quick turn around.

    Back in November of 2023 I posted on Nextdoor to inquire about top recommended upholstering companies in my area. We needed to reupholster and fix our dining room chairs. I looked at several reviews and recommendations. I had a few that were real close to my house but it was Universal Upholstering that stuck out because I'd been in that strip mall and had not noticed the business before. I called and spoke with a woman who told me to come in and speak with Leon. He is very professional and QUICK!!! We had 6 Drexel chairs completely reupholstered. If you choose a fabric that he has on site the turnaround is quick. My 6 chairs were back home in three days. If he has to order the fabric it will take a few more days. We paid a fraction of what we would've paid if we replaced them. We needed them right away and Leon delivered. He is old school which means he stands by his word and his work. I highly recommend him and his team!!!! You will not be disappointed!!!! I wish I could post before and after pictures because the transformation is EPIC!!!!!

    I have used this business twice - once for re-upholstering a chair and again to shorten a piece of a sectional sofa. They do an amazing job and are relatively quick!

    Universal Upholstery of Wheeling, IL  Repairman GREG gets a superb rating . Perfect work

    Universal Upholstery employs a guy Whose name is Greg. He is probably one of their best repairmen I have encountered. Professional, thorough and a perfectionist. He went above and beyond..He really takes pride in the quality of his work. My Cabinet/bar is in better shape than it was when I purchased it 1yr ago. Many thanks Greg

    Had an entire sofa and chair re-cushioned. Did a great job for a good price and had it back within a week or so. Thanks- great work!

    Still can't get over how this long time glass company changed and does not back their work! See my…read morecomplaint of July, 2024. They kept my $1,700. I will never recommend this company, and to this day tell contractors, friends who need glass to not contact this company and why. The pictures tell the story. They mismeasured and would not correct. I am still stunned as till this I always thought of them for any glass needs. Time to change ownership!

    For folks considering having your convertible top installed by Bob at Suburban Trim and Glass!…read more If your having a convertible top replaced get at least 3 estimates and talk to the estimator about what kind of documentation your going to get to guarantee the tops weight and material of the new top matches the quality of the top being replaced, ask if the top has built in gutters. Things I didn't realize until I showed 3 of Bob's competitors his work. One of Bob's competitors did comment " wow Bob did this work? " August 16th, 2023 Hi Suburban Trim And Glass, i don't have an email address or phone number for Bob. I can see I'm not getting any communication from Bob. I've been told to document as much as I can concerning the tops unacceptable delivery with a scratch. Not to mention the off centered back and the 4 staples that have fallen out. Im asking when the poorly installed top will get its RE-DO to correctly install it with no damage. I'm trying to get a timeframe when the warranty replacement top will be in for the RE-DO for the top that should have never been delivered to a customer with a top that is not centered has a crooked alignment causing the drivers side shows loose and baggy and out of center allowing the seams measuring 7/8ths of an inch out of center, scratched fabric and staples continuing to fall out (the 4th staple that I've found. I'll ask you please tell me What the status is for INSTALLATION NUMBER 2 of the C5 Silver Corvette base convertible top 2nd replacement Is as of August 16, 2023. All of this happening while you hold $2400.00 of my money in trust the job will be done correctly the second time. It's difficult to be in this position with me having no trust in Bobs work at this time after he told me the top would shrink into place and that was not a scratch it's just the fabric! He did recognize the staples could use a RE-DO. Thanks, On Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 12:24 PM Update Thursday January 11th 2024. No paper work from the New Top! After asking Bob 3 maybe 4 times to save my old top because I wanted the old top? I picked up the car the next day he claimed he cut it off in pieces and thru it away and the garbage man took it. Sounds like BS to me! What's he hiding? . Sad thing is Bob charges the same price as his three of his competitors charge. Two of his competitors questioned the weight, quality of the material and asked where's the unseen gutters the original tops quality included. The first top Bob installed was scratched and he said he did not notice? Wow! The second top has a noticeable 1 sq foot defect you have to look for but its there. His answer when I picked up the car O'h that's a steam mark it will go away. Drove the car all summer and the defect is still there. Here's a few pictures of the first top Bob delivered. The top is not electric and the scratch is in the passenger front about where a person is looking when locking the top in it's up position. Yes. Wow! He did re=install the second top correctly centered, no scratches in the canvas and a few staples show but none have fallen out yet. Thanks!
