Pat and his team restored the leather seats on our dining room chairs, and we couldn't be happier with the results. He worked closely with us to ensure the comfort met our expectations, and the finished product exceeded them. The craftsmanship is outstanding--we expect these chairs to last another 20 years. They were professional, easy to work with, offered fair pricing, and delivered excellent value. We highly recommend All American Upholstery. read more

Amazing service. Pat is a craftsman, and went above and beyond to remake our large sofa cushions in a way that gives us firmness options and durability. I would recommend him to anyone, and wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I love my repaired pillows- I feel like they were honest and went above and beyond to make me happy. I will definitely take more jobs to them and refer this company to friends. Be patient, they are busy and flexible with your timeframe. The shop is in the back, no frills just an experienced hard working local business. read more

I called All American Upholstery after a rather disastrous outcome from a relative. Pat Cavalcante (co-owner with his wife Julie), was only too happy to assist and sympathize my dilemma. He was able to rectify the mismatched cushion and replicate the pattern and do an amazing job on the second chair. I can't thank them enough. If you EVER need an amazing upholsterer this is the place. read more

I had a small upholstery job which required two seems on a piece of fabric for an outdoor patio swing. I had taken it around the corner to a seamstress at Palomar cleaners and she didn't do a very good job and refused to redo it even after charging me $30. I happen to drive by All American upholstery & I told them what happened. Even though they were very busy, they stopped and took care of my job on the spot and didn't charge me a penny. I applaud you All American upholstery. Good people always win! Thank you for looking out for me. read more

Had some office chairs at work reupholstered. WOW what a great job they did, they are like new, they even added padding to them. We are so pleased. I will use them for every reupholstering I need at work and even in my home. read more

Great work, good prices. I had my Morris chair reupholstered several weeks ago and I am satisfied. I picked a fabric he had in stock. Good price, labor was extremely fair. Ordered fabrics appear to be at reasonably fair prices. I will go back again. read more

I've known Pat and Julie for most of my life, and I'm 55 now. I don't know anyone with more integrity. I highly recommend them.

All American is absolutely the BEST! I've used them for years and just had my daughter use them for her chairs. Mid Century Modern. They did a job so good, my daughter thought they were brand new! Best prices in town too! read more

Exquisite Workmanship! Reasonable Prices! Good Folks! read more

We have used All American Upholstery over the years for chairs, a sofa, a headboard, and a patio glider. They do old-world craftsmanship that you don't see anymore. One chair was an antique, and we were a little cautious and hoped it would turn out well, and it came out great. We had everything else done after that, and have been so pleased with the result. Reupholstering gave life back to favorite pieces that we didn't want to replace. Prices are very fair and the customer service is excellent. read more

I believe this may be the best upholstery shop in San Diego. Pat and Julie (and their most well-mannered son) are wonderful people to do business with - and Pat's upholstery work is the best that I've ever seen. I took them a "yard sale deal" antique chair that I fell in love with but needed serious salvation and I got back an incredible masterpiece of upholstering that has turned this chair into a family heirloom. Delightful to work with, extremely reasonably priced - I have nothing but accolades for All American! read more

Pat and his family are active volunteers in the community where work and when I asked around for recommendations for upholstery, his name came up. Our family's favorite chair and ottoman were in desparate need of recovering, with fabric I had purchased awile ago. Pat gave me a very fair quote, picked up and delivered the pieces (at exactly the time they said they would be there) and had them back within a week, just in time for Christmas. The service and quality of workmanship was great. read more

I found out about All American from the local store of a national furniture company. They used to call on Pat and his talented band of uphosterers for clients' accessory needs (read: throw pillows, etc.) I had a couple of vintage chairs I was planning to recover as part of a whole living room make-over. The designer with whom I was working told me his furniture store's upholstery service could do the job, but then he quietly recommended All American, assuring me that the cost would be competitive and quality would be excellent. He was right on both counts. First of all, Pat is a gentleman. He is fair, honest, kind, talented and generous with his time in helping choose fabric, texture, color and style (nail heads, etc.) He will pick up and deliver and offers a variety of fabric in the event you don't already have fabric or have something in mind. The only downside is his work space can't accomodate sanding, solvents or stains, so any woodwork on your upholstered pieces will have to be refinished elsewhere. But, don't despair, Pat's team will be very careful as he recommends you have any refinishing done ahead of the upholstery. I can't say enough about this little Lemon Grove treasure. I have referred All American to anyone who needs upholstery services and no one has come away disappointed. I will use Pat and his team for as long as he's in business. read more
