From start to finish, everyone I spoke to at Dave's was friendly and professional. Very easy drop off of our rug and they had it ready even sooner than expected. The price for their excellent work was very fair and we were really happy with the result. These guys will be our go-to for any rug/carpet needs.

Having worked with this cleaning company in the past I had faith that Dave's Carpet could save it and they did! The company owner came to my home within a week of scheduling my appointment and actually arrived early the day of service! Not only was the the cleaning a great success but the service was five-star-friendly! And, the cost was quite reasonable. I highly recommend hiring Dave's Carpet!

This company does the absolute best work!!!! Steve does such beautiful work and is so considerate…read more Unfortunately a few years ago I used another local company due to time factor and was very unhappy with the results. Steve found they never stripped the old fabric off, just covered it with the new fabric and just added more stuffing instead of replacing the old. These were two wing back chairs that were over 25 years old that were so much sturdier than anything new as well as an ottoman. Steve did such a fantastic job even added skirts to all three pieces. They look and feel like new. Just proves it pays to go to the best!!

The finish was damaged, and the top was badly scratched up by years of dogs jumping up on it. When I finally decided to have it refinished, I chose Murphy's based on my daughter's experience with them, and expected them to do as good a job as possible under the circumstances, but they really exceeded my expectations -- it looks wonderful, better than it looked when I first inherited it! I highly recommend this service! I wish I had a Before picture but I was too ashamed of its condition to take one!

But Bob and his team exceeded our expectations, even after close examination there was no way to tell that it wasn't the original finish.

If you are in the need for furniture refinishing I would absolutely recommend Murphy's Refinishing with no hesitation. It was a great experience for us.

Piece of furniture I had reupholstered: A 40+ year old rocker-recliner that I grew up with…read more Pros: Rudy's did a beautiful job with the upholstery. They picked up and dropped off the chair for a nominal fee. They were patient while I decided which fabric I wanted and called the supplier for a sample when the one fabric I found on the supplier's site wasn't in one of their sample books. Cons: For 40 years this was the chair people in my family with low back issues sat in. When my mom had back spasms it was her chair. When my dad had a compression fracture in his back, it was his chair. When I slipped a disc, it was my chair. One of the support springs broke so I needed it re-upholstered. It is now not a chair for someone with low back issues. I don't know what they did (Wrong density in the seat cushion? Wrong amount of filling in the back cushion?) but I can no longer sit in what used to be my favorite chair for any length of time without having low back pain. The lumbar support is just gone. It breaks my heart.

Alan (Rudy) was helpful in selecting the fabric, and let me take several sample books home. The shop turned around the seats in time for the holidays, actually ahead of the time he had estimated. The work seems very well done and the prices were reasonable given the cost of the fabric we chose. The shop definitely comes off as ramshackle when you first visit - o.k., even from driving by! - but it's literally a WORKshop, not a showroom.
