Excellent work and customer service. Delightful couple who have been at this location a long time. Had my formal dining chairs repadded with thicker foam. Looks and feels great. There is a waiting list so get on it soon. read more

Thanks for your great service! James took on a project for me that a few other upholsterers said no to, and he did a wonderful job. I highly recommend! read more

We have been working with J&G all year, reupholstering a lot of furniture - some antique and some contemporary. We could not be happier! James is a master craftsman - I don't believe you can find someone as experienced and skilled as him anywhere else in the Bay Area. Ginn takes good care of their customers. They are both a delight. And their work is worth every penny. We will get in line with another piece soon. read more

J & G Upholstery - Here's a chaise lounge that J&G recently finished for us. So gorgeous! - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - San Francisco, California

The plastic piping on one of the sofa cushions came out so I did a quick google search and found J&G upholstery. The owners were very friendly. They suggested that I cut off the plastic piping (which I never even thought of) as that is the only way to fix it. It was a great idea which I appreciated. At home, I cut off the plastic piping per their suggestion and was able to push it back into the fabric which was perfect! In addition, on my way out, the owners had a bucket of fresh real lemons which they were so kind to offer. I highly recommend J&G upholstery for any of your upholstery needs! read more

I just had two cushions replaced for a hand me down slider rocking chair that I had for at least 10 years. James and Ginn are amazing couple who do exceptional craftsmanship and customer service. Happy I came upon their service. They are kind and gentle people with integrity. I provided the fabric that had a pattern on it and I noticed he took care in aligning the fabric patterns at the seams and between the separate cushions so it appears fluid and beautiful. I am happy with their work. They are pleasant and easy to work with. Yes, I would give a 5 star rating as well. read more

This place is amazing! I went in there with a broken zipper on one cushion and then I couldn't get the foam back into the fabric of the other cushion for the banquet in my dining room. And the gentleman who works at this business fixed it in about 10 minutes. I tried doing it for three hours last night. And he severely undercharged me. Pay them extra!! They deserve it. I highly highly highly recommend this company. read more

I have walked by this shop countless times and a year back I finally found a chair worth of being upholstered. James and Ginn did a fantastic job and I'm grateful for their work. The shop is small and it's just the two of them so it's important to be patient but the end result is well worth it. Support black owned businesses. read more

James and Ginn are the best. They are fair and reasonable. They have been in business at the same location for over 40 years. All the jobs they have done is excellent. Best of all they are honest and do very good work. 5 star rating. read more

True artistry and kind, friendly service. This husband and wife team have to be some of the last true skilled artisans in San Francisco. What a find, so glad I trusted my Italian couches to them. They are better than new! read more

J & G Upholstery - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - San Francisco, California

We felt so fortunate to find J & G Upholstery. They were able to re-upholstered our sofa sectionals, chair and bolsters with great care and expert craftsmanship. They were responsive, reliable and timely, as well as a good value. Thank you, James and Ginn for giving us beautiful, well made products, it was a challenge I'm sure . We couldn't be happier with the outcome and your friendly smiles! read more

We needed to have our sectional couch re-covered and found J&G upholstery. The reviews that we read were consistently glowing and now we know why. Ginn is a joy to work with and was very informative in helping us pick the fabric. Ginn and James provide the kind of quality workmanship that is rarely seen nowadays. In fact, it's more like an art. And they charge what we feel is a more than fair price for what they do. We absolutely love the work they performed on our couch and like it even more than the original. As a disclaimer, you will be placed on a list to have your furniture worked on (that is how much in demand their services are) but we felt it was well worth the wait. read more

James and Ginn are amazing. They transformed our tired old chairs into cheerful, stylish pieces we'll enjoy for a lifetime. Ginn was a big helping in choosing the right fabric type (something durable in a multi-kitty household), and she was a joy to just chat with. No detail was overlooked. It took a little while, about 6-8 weeks, for them to start on our chairs because they are (deservedly) very busy, but once we dropped them off the turnaround time was fast. Sweet, talented, hardworking people. Thank you guys!! read more

J & G Upholstery - Vintage club chair- before and after. - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - San Francisco, California

Definitely wanted a change in my new place. Gin was sooo nice and accommodating. She is very kind! We looked at many fabric books and as we chatted, it was like we had known each other for a bit. Great service with kindness! read more

A fantastic business and an even more fantastic couple. I am so happy to have found this gem in our neighborhood. James and Gin are a true delight to work with and together they are a tag team of greatness. Their work is top notch and as a very picky consumer, I give them the highest compliments possible. You'll find quality craftsmanship at reasonable prices. Please support independent businesses like theirs as its so hard to find this level of professional experience anymore. read more

The proprieter's, Gin (Virginia) and James, are super nice, on top of doing a great upholstery job on two projects for us. First we took in our dining chair pads (eight pads in all) and they did an excellent job. These chairs were a lot of work (I could imagine, since I have done some sewing in my time). We were so pleased, that we took in a 35 year old leather chair with ottoman that is my husband's favorite chair, which was looking a bit worn out. It looks great now. Quality work and friendly service. Highly recommended! read more

I brought my vintage 60's swivel chair in for a complete make-over. They did an AMAZING job! Ginn is someone I could spend hours with - she is so kind and helpful and a lot of fun to talk to. I was able to look through endless books of upholstery materials to find the perfect fit for me. James is quietly in the back doing his magic. Everything is extremely high quality. The one thing to know is that Ginn doesn't like computers that much so most of our transactions were done either in person or by phone. And, I paid with a check, not a credit card. Perhaps this has shifted with the current coronavirus situation. I couldn't be happier with my finished chair and get positive comments from everyone who sees it! read more

This place and the proprietors are gems. The work they did (reupholstering and bulking up sofa cushions) is exceptional - perfect, as far as I can tell. They are extremely friendly and helpful and thorough. I recommend them unreservedly. Also, like the neighborhood, their shop is a blast from San Francisco's past. read more

James & Ginn are the real deal! I just picked up a large oddly shaped couch cushion that they reupholstered and we couldn't be more pleased! It's absolutely perfect. I'm sure it was slightly challenging but they did a stellar job. I'm so grateful to yelp reviews for leading me to them. And oh my gosh what sweet people! Thanks so much, Ginn & James! You're our go-to for sure for our next upholstery need!! read more

These are the kind of people who I want to give my business to. Friendly, knowledgable, skilled, and a part of the San Francisco that is rapidly disappearing. I remember when people worked with their hands and cultivated their rapport with their clients not as a marketing strategy or an effective way to increase their profit margin but because it was the right thing to do. Another satisfied customer helping to continue J&G's perfect 5-star review on yelp because it is deserved. read more

This is the second chaise couch cushion that James & Gin have replaced for me and they did another perfect job! I asked for really firm foam and it is great! Although getting the foam took a while to come in (nothing that they control), they had the cushion ready the next day! So happy and they gave my furniture another 10 years of couch-surfing! Thank you! read more

J.&G Upholstery did a great job converting our old and dated chairs into brand new ones. J & G were great, kind, and have tons of fabric patterns samples that you can take home so you can pick with time the new fabric you want for your chairs. I am very pleased with the service. If you love so much your old chairs and you want to give them a make over I most definitely recommend J &G. read more

J & G Upholstery - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - San Francisco, California

James and Ginn did such a great job on our dining room chair seats, and at such a reasonable price, that I'm now finding other pieces all around our house that could use "refreshing" with new upholstery. This is the place to take all your vintage furniture that is still solid but needs a new look. Their work is exceptional, and they are also a lot of fun to talk to. It's a wonderful neighborhood family business. read more

We had a 50 year old reading chair and ottoman finally get the TLC it needed. I'll have to add the before and after pics so you can see for yourself. James and Ginn did a fabulous job making our family chair new, beautiful and comfortable again. We highly recommended them and they were right up the street from us, unbelievable. Thanks to the NextDoor App, we found J&G Upholstery!!! read more

James, the upholsterer, and his spouse, Gin (for Virginia), did a GREAT job on four pieces for me. I hadn't recovered a bedroom chaise and matching chair, a club chair and an arm chair for probably 20 years. I bought the fabric at Beressi's, another excellent city business, and had it sent directly to J and G Upholstery. The work is perfect --lovely tucks, smooth fitting, gorgeous trim. The price was fair and people delightful. The business had been recommended by J and L Refinishing on Alabama, also true artisans and great guys. read more

I have been using J&G for years. James and Gina are a lovely, older couple who have been in the business for many years and their prices are fair. I am a pretty demanding customer with a penchant for dressmaker details and they have met my expectations every time. read more

Ginn and James were delightful to work with. They took an interest in our treasured chair, and repaired it well. The turnaround time was very good, and the pricing was reasonable. read more

The work they did was exceptional, absolutely perfect. The job was to fix whatever other high rated upholstery messed up (sofa and love seats). They are also very nice and friendly people. I would recommend them. read more

You couldn't find a more dedicated and friendly couple who spend time helping you to choose fabric, and detailing what they will do. The results are just terrific. You won't find a better place at a VERY reasonable price than J & G Upholstery for your needs. read more

Great upholstery work and solid local business . I just moved back to the outer Richmond after many years and was delighted to find this place. James and Ginn have run this upholstery business for something like 35 years. I had them tuft some cushions to make an ordinary IKEA couch look a little more chic. They did a great job and were a pleasure to deal with. The price was fair and the quality of the work high. They're in my neighborhood, but I'd probably drive across the city to give them my business. I couldn't recommend them more, and I'm not the type to usually write reviews. read more

J & G is named for its principals, James and Gin (Virginia). Gin handles the business side, James does the upholstery. Both are superbly professional and a pleasure to work with. Over the last twenty-five years, J & G have reupholstered every piece of upholstered furniture I own. Their work and their prices are so good that I never consider discarding old furniture to buy new. Truly, a reupholstered chair or sofa from J & G is better than any new piece you could buy. read more

J and G are simply fantastic. They were extremely helpful in getting me to hone my ideas of exactly what I wanted in my window seat. They gave me samples of different foam to take home and try out and be sure I was happy. The quality of their work is first rate and they completed my project before the expected pick up date. The prices are very reasonable. Honestly, this is the first review I have ever done, because such special people as Genn and James are a treasure. I will never go anywhere else for anything upholstered. read more

We had six of our dining room chairs recovered--Ginn helped us find the perfect material and James did beautiful work on the cushions--flawless, smooth fitting--we couldn't be more pleased with the quality of the work. Both James and Ginn were a true pleasure to do business with--professional, timely, fairly priced and fabulous work. And you couldn't meet two more lovely people--we cannot recommend them highly enough. read more
