We spoke with Lars because we needed new foam in our couch cushions. We knew right away that customer service was his priority: He was friendly on the phone when he asked us to describe what we needed, and quoted us a (very reasonable) price right away. We took the cushions in on a Thursday and they were ready the following Tuesday. So fast! I can't say enough about the wonderful service La Costa Upholstery provides. We will definitely call Lars if we have any other upholstery projects. read more

I read the reviews online and when I came in and met Lars and Monica for an estimate I knew this was the place to take my chair to be reupholstered! The fact that they care about what they do was evident! When I picked up my chair it was so beautiful and I was really happy. read more

Several years ago I had a couch and sofa recovered at La Costa Upholstery. They reinforced everything, recovered it perfectly at a reasonable price. The workmanship was perfect. Couldn't have been happiers. read more

La Costa Upholstery did a perfect reupholstering of a chair that is in my front office. Lars was so helpful. I was worried that I would have trouble choosing the new fabric. I sent pictures of my office and the existing chair. When I came in to see Lars I told him it would probably take some time to choose something. He showed me a stack of swatches that he thought might work. He said "what do you think of this one?" That's it! That's the one! It was perfect! Just perfect! I have been getting great compliments on my new chair!! Lars and Monica are so professional and the gentlemen that picked up and delivered the chair were so courteous and careful. La Costa Upholistery is the BEST! read more

This place is magic. Long overdue review, but I came here to fix this dilapidated chair for my husband's birthday. They were able to accommodate a quick turnaround and had the right color fabric in stock to replace! They even replaced the cushion inside and it looked like a brand new chair. Come here for all of your upholstery needs and you will not be disappointed! 10/10 read more

Called and spoke to someone named Larz or Lars as we needed repair on a Bradington Young tilt back chair. He requested I email photos (which I did) and he'd get back to me. Nothing, zero communication, NO response. It's been a week now-- Found someone else on Yelp, added a redo of an antique settee and they were happy to take on our projects. Definitely would Not recommend La Costa. Lars, 2 things I don't understand with regard to your response- 1) I emailed you pictures - you HAD my email address, all you had to do was respond to the same email with your quote. Simple. 2) Regardless, don't you follow up with customers via phone call to ensure they received a quote and/or if they had any additional questions ? You had my phone #. Basic Customer Service -- read more

Great process and great work. Will definitely use them again they are very nice and professional. My work was done early and they recovered my outdoor cushions and they look brand new. Their prices were very reasonable read more

Lars has been very helpful and responsive to my upholstery project needs. The team was very responsive upon both drop off and pickup of my furniture. They aim to please and do quality work you can trust. read more

Professional reupholster Completed on time and furniture felt new again. Used their fabric

We had two items done by La Costa Upholstery (LCU) both pictured in photos. Staff/Owner very knowledgeable and provided more than enough patience with us as we went through their huge inventory of samples for both projects. Timeline for completions absolutely fantastic. Ultimately our reasoning for going back a second time to LCU was the people, they always made us feel like we were returning home after a prolonged absence. Not cheap but nothing that looks this good ever is, and a happy pup is more than enough! read more

La Costa Upholstery has done numerous projects for me over the last 20 years and the quality of the work is top notch. I can also say from experience that Roger, the owner, is probably the nicest person I've ever met, and they stand behind their work. I needed a partial redo on a recent project which happened due to a miscommunication. They took care of it cheerfully, quickly, to my specifications, and at absolutely no charge. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

This is an excellent company. They are friendly, and easy to work with. Their prices are fair, and they got the job completed just as soon as the materials arrived. For us, we had six excellent dining room chairs, but the seat and back pads had not stood the test of time. They replaced the upholstery and the foam underneath. They also improved our seat cushions by doubling the thickness. These chairs now look brand new, and we are quite pleased. We definitely recommend them. read more

Look no further than La Costa Upholstery if considering giving any of your furniture a new extended life. We have been thinking about reupholstering our dining chairs for sometime. The set was handed down to us and solid wood, but the pink upholstery had seen its day and the chairs were not overly comfortable. On a whim I stopped into LaCosta Upholstery and couldn't have been happier. Amazing customer service, reasonable pricing and quality work in a timely fashion. Not only were the reupholstered, but Roger was able to switch out the original spring hardware and replace with new cushions and a solid seat base. We absolutely love the results and are so happy to have extended the life of this set for years to come. read more

They did an INCREDIBLE job cutting the arms of my sectional couch. It was 2.5 inches too long for the place where I needed it to put it. They not only did an incredible job, but they were also very kind. I gave them the wrong side (it was a sectional) It was my fault, and they were very compassionate and helped me out even if they didn't have to. I would use them a million times and recommend their services to everyone! read more

The couch was getting old and worn out. We had good luck with La Costa Upholstery before and decided to re-upholster instead of buying some low end couch. They come out pick it up, kept it for a week and dropped it off. Came out great. read more

The crew at La Costa Upholstery were not only fast they did a great job refurbishing a cherished recliner. Thanks!

Always great to get a referral. Local North County business that's been around for 40-years. Fast, friendly and affordable. I needed a couch frame repair in a really short time frame. Rodger and his crew were able to turn my request around in 3-days. I had looked at several businesses and got phone quotes when I provided pictures. I'm not joking "La Costa Upholstery" was less than half the price of the other 2-quotes. Great job! read more

Amazing staff and work! Got my dining chairs upholstered with Vinyl and it's sturdy and done nice! Highly recommended!

Great service, super friendly. Modified couch cushions for us. We will definitely be back again

We had a custom cushion done for our bay window and it turned out great. Roger and his wife were super sweet and easy to work with. Love that it's a family owned business and they take pride in their work. read more

Second time for an reupholstery project. Roger came out twice to assess our challenging situation with sunlight that just eats up our living and dining room furniture. We wanted leather, but the room gets too much sun and we decided on Marine Vinyl for durability. We love our choices. We just finished 11 months of remodeling and reconstruction, and Roger was able to keep our furniture out of the way during specific parts of that process which was a huge help to us. There were some communication issues, but as we told our guests at a party this weekend, we are super happy with how everything looks. read more

I first had La Costa Upholstery recover my two living room couches and 10 dining chairs in about 2008...they did a great job! I just had them do them again and, again, an awesome job. They were so easy to work with - We did everything via email and pictures until we were ready to get it done. They picked up the furniture and delivered it back and we love it. Next project with them is already planned and I can't recommend them enough. I also really liked that we were able to schedule a window for the work to be done and that window was honored and the job accomplished as planned. Thank you so much Roger, and team. I really appreciate your work. read more

I recently had two kitchen chairs upholstered. They are ice cream chairs & the covering that I had was terrible. I made an appointment went into the store and Roger assisted me showing materials he had and I explained to him what I was looking for. When the chairs were delivered I was so happy and pleasantly surprised what a difference they look like brand new chairs. The workmanship was excellent and the customer service went above and beyond my expectations . I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing upholstery work. Highly professional and knowledgeable read more

They totally fixed our couch after the backbone broke in a move. They are the furniture doctors. Picked up and dropped off at our house. Super convenient. read more

We recently entrusted our badly sagging family room couch to La Costa Upholstery to replace the filling in the cushions and the webbing in the deck. It had been poorly redone seven years ago by a different upholsterer. We had begun looking for a new couch, thinking that this one was beyond repair. Then we read the glowing reviews of La Costa and decided to give them a try. Roger gave us a prompt, reasonable quote that took into account several alternatives that might be needed once the couch was opened up. We accepted it. Throughout the process, Roger and his employees were pleasant, attentive and kept us apprised of the progress. As my husband used the couch as his favorite place to sit, they even invited him in before completion to make sure to make sure it met his approval. It did! We are beyond pleased at the whole experience and are enjoying our renewed couch. We highly recommend La Costa! read more

This business is first class in every aspect. The charming owners Roger and Margaret give personal attention to your work. The work is immaculate and they have wonderful delivery people. I have had custom and antique furniture re-upholstered and the results are great. Old school service. Love this business. read more

I was very happy with the price I paid to reupholster my chairs, and the attention to detail was top notch!

They were referred to me by another craftsman and that said a ton. Fast friendly service and quality craftsmanship. They rehabbed my ottoman and had it looking like new. Highly recommend for upholstery work. read more

The reason for my poor rating is not because they ultimately did a (semi) OK job of reupolstering a chair, but because they tried to get me to accept a poor job, rather than get it right in the first place. What they did was present the completed job, where the fabric on the curved back was wrinkled. When I told them the job was unacceptable, they told me that there was no way it could be fixed, other than put some buttons in the back, which would take up the slack that was causing the wrinkles, but would cause other wrinkles, make the back of the chair uncomfortable and look bad. They tried to get me to accept the job. They also had to replace three screws that were holding the back on. Rather that do a little work, they (according to them) got the best fitting screws available. They used SAE screws instead of metric, and the screws heads were over twice the size of the original screws making the back of the chair look ridiculous. When I expressed that I found using the screws that they used looked horrible, they When I told them to stop arguing with me, and redo it and make it right, they saw that there was no way that I was going to accept shoddy workmanship. So they redid the job and had it right when I returned a few days later. Except for using the same screws, which I figured I'd work on myself later. I felt relieved that the upholstery job was redone well, and decided that I deal with getting the correct screws on my own, rather than get further aggravated by thus business. So, in my opinion, what I experienced was a business that, when they do a lousy job, rather than redo it and get it right, their MO is to try and get the customer to accept an unsightly, lousy job. Then when the customer balks, and is polite about it, they give a bunch of BS, at which point, many less assertive people would believe their them or just give up, pay and leave. This is an example, in my opinion, of poor, lazy, shameful business practices. I especially resent the tactics they used in trying to get me to accept their unacceptable job. Since the screws are horrible looking, and they messed up the screw holes, I guess, since I accepted and paid for the chair, it's now my problem to deal with it. I guess they did get me to accept some shoddy, lazy workmanship! It may take a while, but I'll find screws that look like the originals, and figure out how to deal with the messed up screw holes. Believe me, it can be done right with a little effort. I resent when I pay to have a job done, it ends up being an unwanted do-it-yourself project: I had to deal with the problem with the screws on my own. In my opinion, what they did was lie and attempt to manipulate me into accepting a lousy job. I resent this. LaCosta Upholstery can do an OK job; which is what they ultimately did, except for the screws. Certainly, LaCosta Upholstery could have called me when they had a problem with the screws, and given me a variety of options of how it could be dealt with, instead doing the easiest thing for them, and using the wrong screws. I recently received an email from LaCosta Upholstery, rebutting opinions I expressed. I amended my review to clarify that the ultimate job, other than for the wrong screws, was good. My complaint is that they tried to get me to accept a lousy job, and did so, in my opinion, by telling me things that were untrue and manipulative. Thus is what I resent. If LaCosta Upholstery, because of this review, has learned the lesson to be careful who they try to get to accept inferior work, my review has served a useful purpose. read more

Roger has reupholstered 2 sofas for me. One was a round cuddle. He told me how much fabric I needed, and even spoke with the sales person for the fabric to get the details on the "repeat", so I did not need to order too much fabric. With both sofas, Roger was quick turnaround, but very attentive to detail. Both sofas turned out beautifully! Everyone at La Costa Upholstery is polite and helpful. Highly recommended! read more

Our sectional needed the seat cushions and fabric replaced. We thought about buying new but for the same cost we could get it reupholstered and end up with a custom version of the sectional we already knew we loved. Working with La Costa was so easy (and safe) from fabric selection to pick up and delivery. They offered a wide selection of quality fabric choices in our price range and were very good at advising what would work well for our life (dog and kids) and match our style and the work was impeccable. The sectional looks AMAZING! We will definitely be returning customers. read more

In response to your comment regarding my chair: Wow, it took you two years to respond to this? First off, I was told you were finishing it. If it was in such bad shape, you should have called me and talked to me about what needed to be done, or if nothing could be done with it. You had my number. I was told you were finishing it. That was it!!! I WAS NEVER TOLD IT WAS FRAGILE. Which is funny! After Jordan's corrected your work, (it came out of your shop) It was a wonderful well restored chair. I use the chair almost daily in my room. You yourself delivered the chair to me, knowing it was not done correctly and charged me a delivery fee on top of it. Please, take responsibility for your actions. This issue is closed as far as I am concerned. read more

Highest possible recommendations! I would never go anywhere else. Roger and his team do impeccable work and he is a man of honor and integrity. We were going to have a baby rocker reupholstered but Roger suggested I get a new one because it would be more economical - that's integrity! And looking around the shop the work they do is absolutely amazing - true craftsmen. Again, highest possible recommendations! read more

Took 2 wingback chairs and an ottoman to be recovered. What a fabulous job by Roger and his crew. Love the fabric, a gray plaid fabric for my chairs and a black and white for the ottoman. Beautifully matched patterns and rebuilt arms. Love their workmanship . I just had them make 4 cushions for my kitchen chairs and once again just a great job. Such wonderful workmanship! read more

A great experience with amazing results! First, some history: My Dad, an upholster by trade, designed and crafted a chair for himself in the late 1950's. He sat in it for the next 40 years. When he passed, we brought the chair to California, had it recovered and I sat in it for nearly 20 more. Clearly this chair is a family treasure, but 60 years of almost daily use had certainly taken its toll. We interviewed several shops over the past few years, hesitant to move forward because we just didn't have that "good feeling" about trusting any of them to restore Dad's chair... then we found Roger and La Costa Upholstery. Imagine, a family business at the same location for 40 years, being operated on a daily basis by the same folks who started it, who actually answer the phone and take time to talk to you! Whether its the front office staff or the folks in the shop, these are people who are proud of what they do, and become personally invested in your project and your satisfaction. If your looking for an upholstery source still capable of traditional craftsmanship, done in a reasonable time frame at a fair price, where owners and staff are committed to old fashion customer service, you need look no further than La Costa Upholstery. Give them a call... you're in for a really pleasant experience. read more
