So then I was left with 4 chairs. I bought really nice material and foam and fabric scissors and a fabric nail gun and I went to work. I took off the seat pad and stripped off the fabric and threw away the old foam. I bought new foam and cut the new material and tried to re-upholster is myself. I finished and I just stared at it for about half an hour. I mean it would work but it was wrong. I don't know how else to say it other than it was wrong. The shape was wrong. The cloth was loose. I was so disheartened but I also did not have money to get it professionally done.....or so I thought. My grandmother had her couch re-upholstered professionally somewhere else and it cost her over $4,000 so I am expecting 4 chairs could be like $1,000 maybe. I didn't know what it would cost but I was expecting it to cost a lot. After 6 months of barely using the chairs and just staring at them I finally requested a quote on Yelp from Herrera's Upholstry. Ben got back to me right away and his quote was really low....like i was not sure if he was quoting me just for labor or something. I was a little confused. Anyways my wife dropped off the chairs and picked them up and he kept the price as what he said. My wife gave him a little extra because he had to use extra material. I think thats fair. I get home from work to look at the work they did and WOW! Just wow. This guy does some really good quality work. I will be bringing back more stuff for him to reuphoster. Thanks for the great work!

I had these custom MCM chairs from the 1950's that I had worked on for quite a while but couldn't do the upholstery myself. It was hard finding a competitive price around the Bay Area but man these guys are an insane deal. All of these chairs were done in real leather from piping to side trims, every chair was consistent and completely redone in only 4 DAYS! I expected a week or maybe 2 at minimum but they really set the standard. If you're hesitant to find someone to do your upholstery, don't be, just go here it's worth it.

Aby did such a great job the first time, we didn't hesitate for her to do it again.

A few weeks later Aby let us know our bench was ready. It was exactly what I wanted, and the fabric had the perfect texture and color. I'm sure I could have bought a new bench for the price of the reupholstering, but I don't think I can find one that's custom made exactly as I want.

Unfortunately the quote was so high at the other stop that we were thinking about just purchasing new chairs instead of repairing our old ones. We decided to check with Arnold's Upholstery before giving up and we are sure glad we did! We found nearly an exact match of the material among the hundreds of rolls of material he had in stock. I was nervous whether he could match the decorative seam on the front of each chair, as well as the sewn in seam material around the seat edge and back, but he said he could do it no problem. His price quote was significantly lower than the first shop, so we decided to have the chairs recovered rather than search for new ones. We dropped the chairs off on Friday afternoon and he called to let me know they were ready on the following Monday morning. Unbelievably fast service and we couldn't be happier with the craftsmanship. Excellent work at an affordable price. Highly recommend this shop.

Our living room is not what is in style today, but it is more of an "Old English" style. Not easy to find someone who would help with just one small thing. I have a chair I liked, I looked to see where their chairs were sold, and called and asked for a recommendation. Luckily they gave me Jeff's name. I was apologetic for such a small job, but he happily accepted the challenge. He found several fabrics, and we quickly picked out a green plaid one. But since he was at our house, you know how this goes......I mentioned that I hated my dining room table. Jeff suggested that we get a table that would blend with our antique buffet. Expensive, so I dragged my feet. When the chair arrived, Jeff and I spoke again. I told him that the one thing that I regretted was not getting the table. He said as with everything else, prices were going up, and I might consider doing it sooner rather than later. Jeff came out once again to look at the finishes, so that we could pick a finish that blended best with what we already have. When the table arrived, we told Jeff that our shower was leaking and it was time to update......you can see where this is going. Not only did Jeff meet us twice at tile stores, but he found someone who would replace our shower for us. (Previously we had called about 6 different people, and no one would come out, they just wanted us to send pictures, and then we never heard from them again.) I haven't even mentioned the living room pillows for my couch that brighten up the room.....Jeff is a pleasure and easy to work with. He understood what I was looking for and was a great cheerleader when I got rid of my old clunky dining room set! And let's face it, I'm still thinking about the quail lamp that he showed me....we are very happy with everything that Jeff helped us with. Our house looks refreshed, and more updated.

She was very patient and accommodating when I needed more assurance on what the end result would be. She listened very carefully to what I hoped to accomplish and what appealed to me, and had a knack for reigning me in when I was all over the place with different design concepts. She kept me focused, staying on track with our agreed concept and she was excited about creating something special and making a statement to add to the vibrancy of downtown Salinas. Her excitement was contagious and gave me such confidence needed to trust her completely. She encouraged me to be bold and not play it to safe, which is exactly what I would've done, and I know in the end it would been a terrible mistake that I would've regretted immensely. She had great ideas and resources for new materials I was not familiar with. I appreciated her taking the time to investigate all options, while being very conscientious of budget. The project turned out so beautifully and I continue to receive such positive response to it from so many people. I am so proud of this project and am profoundly grateful. She has such a breath of knowledge with paint color, and material selection and consistency in keeping with the overall design scheme. There were days I was apprehensive and wanting to play it safe, for example with color accent, and thankfully she reminded me that our goal was to create something modern and exciting, not safe and boring! Jana was such a joy to work with. She's a talented and exceptional designer as well as a wonderful human being, whom I consider a friend and I hope to do more projects in the future with her.

Custom Marine Covers, especially Tammy is beyond amazing. Her work is perfection! I dare you to find one flaw because it doesn't exist. The quality of work and material is first class. I have used their service twice now. First we had the cushions in our boat recovered. Just recently she finished a boat cover. It is snug and safely on the boat in anticipation of the rain next week. Tammy went the extra mile with suggestions that were both cost effective and best for the maintenance of the boat. I cannot sing her praises high enough. Thank you for your hard work!
