    The most beautiful repair job
    David S.

    My dog completely destroyed my couch cushion by ripping a hole in the fabric and tearing apart the cushion itself. I loved that couch, and I was heartbroken at the thought that the damage might be irreparable. On Monday, I reached out to Townsend to explain the situation, and they instructed me to bring the cushion in. I delivered it that same morning, and they assured me it would be ready by the end of the week, if not sooner. To my surprise, they called me the very next day! Not only was the repair completed incredibly quickly, but it also looks absolutely stunning. I am truly grateful for their craftsmanship! 20 out of 10 would recommend!!!

    Super happy with the work Townsend did for us. We used them years ago, so they were our first call. The headrest of our leather sofa became damaged. Townsend quickly made the repairs and did a great job matching the leather. He even had suggestions on how this may have happened & ways to avoid it in the future. A few things to know - they haven't been on Main Street for years. They are now located at 420 S Curryer. Don't be confused by the sign on the building - it's no longer the Piano Palace. We hit a couple of snags but only because our sofa has an actuator that moves the headrest. Once that was figured out, the owner actually delivered it to our home. The workmanship was outstanding, the price was fair & the work was completed quickly. We will definitely be our first call next time!

    Proof is in the pudding!!!

    The BEST experience. Gilberto is a master at his craft and he and his wife make a spectacular team. They went above and beyond in picking up and dropping off my leather sofa that was ripped up by our puppy. The seats dont come out and I could not believe my eyes. It looked as if the rip NEVER happened. With 35 years of experience, you are getting top notch service and craftsmanship. Don't believe me? Take a look at my pic. I also know that this business takes care of the Chumash Casino on a regular basis and even reupholstered 2,500 pieces over a year's time. You don't get these kinds of contracts unless your service and quality is a cut above the rest. AND you don't get 5 stars from me unless you stand out head and shoulders above the competition. Don't hesitate calling Townsend Custom Upholstery. This is a real craftsman with a big heart for the community.

    I tried so many other upholstery shops and no one would respond to me or were very flaky , but then I found Townsend :)... This place was so friendly, effortless, professional, humble, knowledgeable, and quick, which is so refreshing. Customer service like these guys are so rare these days. The product they provided was/is beautiful and very reasonably priced. Thank you :)

    Beautiful work by Townsend!

    Beautiful work by Townsend! They have done several pieces of furniture for me and I am so happy with the results

    Contacted Townsend Upholstery to install sheepskin seat covers on my Cadillac XT5. It was a perfect tight fit. Great Job.

    This guy IS THE BEST in the business when it comes to reupholstering furniture. In fact, he's so good, even CHUMASH CASINO trusts him with ALL their chairs. They love his work! And you will too. He goes above and beyond to help repair any sofa. First he asks to send him some pics of your furniture. Then he shows up the same day to pick it up. Had it back looking BRAND NEW by the end of the week. Can't even tell where the original damage was. He's got a heart of gold too with a Givers Gain attitude. If you ever need a piece of furniture repaired, don't throw it out!! Give him a call

    Perfect fit!

    Needed a special order for my bay window seat. I bought my own upholstery fabric. Here's the result. Beautiful!

    I bought a chair at a thrift store and these guys brought it back to life. I live down the street from the shop and they helped me transport the chair. I couldn't ask for better customer service and the price was reasonable. Will definitely use a again.

    Townsend came highly recommended to us by friends and coworkers. We wanted to reupholster our leather couches that our boxers have over the last ten years have scratched up to the point that the leather was just peeling off (it wasn't leather we found out but a form of leather) First he has you text pictures of what you need done then he gives you a price. Our couches we loved because they were oversized, deep and really comfortable. They had good bones, just needed new leather! First he picked up the cushions and was honest that he was really busy and it may be a week to ten days. No rush, we have another sitting room. Then he picked up the couches and again we told him no rush. My couches look as they did the day we bought them except now it's really leather. We will get another ten years out of them. (And oddly the boxers don't want to sit on them so the covers I just bought might stay in the box)

    See all

    Excellent work! A little hard to find but well worth it. I wasn't sure I was even in the right place at first.

    They did exceptional repair on my BMW. They repair the roof lining and the front seats. I recommend this business.

    Today's review, my dear Yelp Review Readers, is in regard to Jamie's Upholstery in Santa Maria on…read moreKnudsen Way. The Owner Jamie Burgos is the one who greeted me with a smile when I walked in. I was referred to this business by my mechanic (Main Automotive, Santa Maria...don't trust your vehicle to anyone else) who quipped, Jamie does fabulous work. We shall see. The work needed today was the reupholstering of my F-250 Super Duty truck front bottom drivers seat. The process: removal of the driver's seat, clean up the cab floor on the driver's side where seat was, remove old seat upholstery, install additional "foam and foam collar", upholster bottom of driver's seat with new leather cover and finally reinstall driver's seat. Jamie was on it within minutes and I was allowed to wait for the job completion. Nice! The workshop is loaded with fabrics and vinyl...as Jamie also performs his craft on things like furniture, cars and boats. Jaime's Upholstery has been in this location for more than 5 years and Jamie says business is really good. I arrived at 10AM and Mr. Burgos completed the job by 12:05PM! He was quick, professional and informative in answering any questions I had...not only a craftsman, but his customer service was excellent. Needless to say...the seat was reupholstered with additional "foam" insulation installed, to cushion my ride and complete the job with extra care. WOW...it feels impressive! The cost (well under $250 dollars) which was more than reasonable considering the material, work performed and the over 2 hours in labor. Today, on this occasion and in this Yelper's opinion...Jamie's Upholstery (Jamie Burgos) in Santa Maria truly earned this "highly recommend - don't throw it out, reupholster it at Jamie's" 5 Star review!

    I normally don't write bad reviews on here but my (short) experience I had at Leo's last week…read moredeemed an honest review of my interaction. I just recently purchased a car that needed the convertible rear window seam fixed so I naturally searched google and here (YELP) to see what came up, having never needed an upholstery shop in the past I wanted to see what my local options were. Instead of calling I like to meet face to face when it comes to car stuff in order to see who I feel most comfortable leaving my car with and hopefully to build lasting connections since I modify a lot of cars. Leo's was at the top of the list in my online search so I visited them first. I met with who I believe was Leo and explained what I was looking for, he looked over my car and gave me a quick quote. He then offered to grab a business card so I can call when I'm ready. I said "I would love one because I just picked up the car and never used anyone for upholstery so I'm shopping around". This is where the whole experience unexpectedly turned. Leo instantly changed his tone with an almost child like response of "well I'm not going to give you my card if you're shopping around...that's a waste of my time...you're wasting my time". Keep in mind he was already walking away to grab the card from his office and we've only been talking for no more than 5 or 6 minutes. I was shocked to hear this response and asked why he thought I was wasting his time (which must be extremely valuable if he can't spare 5 minutes for a potential new customer). He responded with "you're shopping around, you're not going to come back, my price can't compete with others" etc. I tried to tell him he was the first place I've been to and naturally like any consumer I'm going to go around to a few places, get quotes, check out their work, ask friends if they recommend them, etc. before I make a decision but I couldn't get a word in. He continued ranting, saying he does quality work (which I don't doubt judging by other reviews and photos) and I'm not going to pay for his quality of work so I can go somewhere else as he proceeded to walk away. I was shocked that in a matter of me telling him "yes, I would love a card" that he felt the need to assume I was looking for a bargain fix, and even if I was, he decided to throw out all customer service skills a business owner should have when reacting with a potential customer. The irony of all this, and why I'm giving two stars and not one, is because Leo's price was actually one of the cheaper prices I was quoted that day so had he not freaked out on me and treated me like a real customer I would've been back that afternoon to book my appointment based on the combination of the quality of work, price, and my initial impression of him...until his unwarranted attitude change. This is a heads up for people shopping around, I'd only recommend Leo's if you undoubtedly know you're going to book an appointment upon your visit because the prices are fair and the work looked good, however the customer service is a crapshoot based on my visit and to me that goes a long ways.

    My husband and I took some chair cushions in to Leo's on a saturday morning to have them re-stuffed…read morewith foam. When we arrived, we met Lisa who helped us decide what kind of foam to use, measured the cushions and called Leo to get a price. The cost was less than $75 for both cushions. We were told they would be ready on monday. Monday arrived and Lisa called me with an update, and said that there was a bit of a problem and I needed to call her back. The problem was simple, there were some tears in the seam (where D rings had been), and he wanted to know if we wanted new d-rings or just to sew the holes up. We decided to sew the holes up, and Leo said our cushions would be ready in 15 minutes! He sewed them up perfectly, our cushions have never been better, and the price was perfect. We're very happy with our experience at Leo's and will be back when we have more work for them!
