He leveraged his expertise to guide me toward the best decisions for reupholstering my boat and made the whole experience stress-free.

I had recently taken a course at Paul's Upholstery which is associated with Rancho Santiago Community College community services. I was highly disappointed. The instructor teaching the course was Paul, and he should not be teaching. He lacks people skills, communicates poorly, short on patience, and has a dirty and hazardous work environment for students. The course started with fifteen students enrolled and at the end of the six weeks program (every tuesday), only three students remained. Paul talks down to students saying things like "I told you to do this and you don't listen" or "I want you to do this right now...do this right now." Barking orders in a nasty and demeaning way with some of the students. Since he's the only one instructing, you have to wait your turn before he's able to guide and assist you with your project. Once he finally makes his way over to work with you, you can barely understand what he's telling you, and you only have a few minutes to figure things out with him before he moves on to the next student. He becomes impatient and irritated when you have not moved along fast enough with your project. He wants to be able to finish up for the night as quickly as possible and be out the shop within the three hours designated time of the course. There's been a few times when I was packing my things back into my car, which was parked in the alley where the work area is located. He pushed out the rest of my tools and project, closed the rolled down door and left me alone in the dark ally. The last time he did that he pushed out my incomplete wingback chair project into the alley with me having no way of taking it home that night. I had to leave the chair outside, overnight, and in the alley until I was able to rent a truck and pick it up. He refused to keep it overnight until I was able to retrieve it in the morning. I could not believe it. At first, I was excited about taking this course because I have a passion for home décor design. Upholstery is a good fit for what I want to accomplish. Paul's Upholstery misses the mark as a go to place for upholstery training. Besides having a disorganized and dirty workspace (nasty bathroom...yuck), he lacks the passion that is needed to be a good to great instructor. Students are a burden to him and he doesn't seem to truly have the time. read more

I brought in my 2004 Toyota Tundra which had a torn front drivers seat along with the arm rest on the driver side which also showed signs of extreme wear.Paul agreed the whole seat and arm rest needed to be totally redone in a combination of vinyl and original leather as per factory speck.Paul gave me a $475.00 estimate, which I felt comfortable with by comparison to other estimates I had researched.I dropped my truck off Friday night ,he told me it would be ready Monday afternoon.I called around 4 and he said to come and pick up my truck.When I opened the drivers door and observed his work I was amazed at the attention to detail, and the the original factory appearance he had achieved not only with the seat but also the arm rest, even the seams matched the other seat, I not only paid but I gave him a $25 tip since his job was impeccable,timely,and honest.Thank you for a job well done.Found out Paul is a upholstery teacher hat Santa Ana college, no wonder the job was so well done, him and his beautiful wife were super personal and easy to deal with.Thank you. read more

Terrible, this whole experience has my insides in knots. I needed some chairs reupholstered and they came out so terrible I had to buy more material and take them to another upholstery shop. The stitching was uneven, the seams were crooked, the foam was lumpy, the whole thing felt very cheap. Very bad craftsmanship, no pride in any of the work. The worst part was that the job was so simple and yet came out so bad. Anyone could have done it. Terrible, absolutely awful and unacceptable. If they had just put the time in to do the job right it could have been good, but instead they just threw it together and ran off with my money. I would highly recommend avoiding this little home garage upholstery shop all together. read more

I recently had a chair upholstered by Paul who runs a small family business. Paul and his wife are extraordinarily professional and obviously experienced as they helped transform a chair that I loved but destroyed by our dog, into a work of art. The work was superb and results were better than anything we had feverishly shopped for in the major furniture retailers. The price was very fair. Another feature that led me to Paul's was that he was one of the very few upholsterers open on Saturday! Kudos to you Paul and shame on the 5 day 9 to 5'rs. Thanks again for amazing work read more

We have used Paul's Upholstery three times now and get more and more happy with the service and quality of work. Our latest job was finished in four days, from estimate to order of material to return of chairs. We also had a dining room chair repaired earlier in the year, with no fabric to offer them and they worked a miracle with existing fabric on a forty year old chair. Also had a game table set recovered, using antique buttons as accents. Just beautiful. We are so happy with the wonderful family at Paul's Upholstery. read more

Paul does first rate work, is highly skilled and takes personal pride in his work. I had him do a very challenging sofa modification, where he took 2 pieces and made them into 1. Hard to explain, so I will include pics if I can figure out how. He spent a half hour with me thinking through it and discussing the ways he could get it done right. Not only dd it come out perfect, but he cleaned it and made armrest covers that weren't even a part of our agreement (no charge). Highly recommended. Jim in Irvine read more

Paul did an amazing job on reupholstering my patio furniture seat pads. Paul assessed the old cushions and told me that I did not need to replace the padding, which saved me money and enhanced my trust in his business. He returned my cushions like new and the fabric was top grade. I am so thankful to have received a referral to Paul's. I highly recommend anyone to this business. I will definitely be back! THANK YOU PAUL FOR RESTORING MY CUSHION COVERS TO NEW! very happy, Patricia, Irvine read more

Paul did a marvelous job on my dining seats. He is very skilled in upholstery. My seats were very worn out and I needed the foams to be replaced. He showed me the different types of foams he carries and which would fit best on my seat frames. I was concerned about the time frame but it only took 1 week to get them back! They look amazing and at a very reasonable cost. I highly recommend Paul's Upholstery for any of your home furnitures! read more

I have a vintage Japanese chair I got when I was in Japan during the 90's. I called Paul's Upholstery to see if they could reupholster it. It didn't take that long to get a response and they came to pick it up the same day I called. I chose the fabric and within two weeks I had my chair done. I find it very important to help out the small businesses during these tough times. Great upholstery company to get your furniture done. read more

On two separate occasions, I needed upholstery fabric for furniture that was being made for me. Rosie at Paul's Upholstery in Santa Ana came to my rescue. She ordered the fabric promptly and gave me a great price. I highly recommend this company for anyone who wants to purchase upholstery fabric. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to contact them again in the future if I should need more fabric. C.P. from Santa Ana read more

I was in need of an upholsterer for my sofa and was referred to Paul by my neighbor Kelly. I scheduled an appointment with Paul's Upholstery and I was very happy and satisfied with the customer service they provided me. It is a one- stop upholstery shop that helped me to determine what type of style and material was best for my sofa. I highly recommend them, very professional and reliable. read more

Paul's Upholstery did an outstanding job on four pieces of our fine old furniture, making all the pieces look new. Two of the pieces were wingback chairs, both 50 years or more old.
