We had Arturo at V squared, formerly known as guaranteed upholstery, replace the foam on and under two beautiful leather sofas because he was recommended to us. This occurred in 2018. My wife noticed some problems immediately after he finished and we thought well let's see how it turns out over time. It appeared as though the foam had been cut in the middle somewhere on both sofas. Within a very short time oh, we found that we sunk. Sofas became uncomfortable very quickly and so we called Arturo asking him to help us again. Over the past 2 years he has avoided helping us and the foam simply is not well done. Since I it especially after set a lot of the time because I have a lot of pain, it's important that the Upholstery and the foam hold up he blamed it on the leather which is not the case the cause of leather is quite thick in aniline-dyed leather.. I have serious back issues and I must have high density foam with some softer layer at the top for comfort. We have literally begged Archer over and over and he does not respond responsibly as his promise was that it was guaranteed work. I truly wish that he has honored his obligations to us and has not done so to this day. He just makes excuse after excuse for not helping. I would be happy to identify myself and communicate with others who are considering using him. My rating of him would be maximum 1 star max of 5. My name is Brian at tux1.brian@gmail.com. read more

Good quality, multiple test fits and questions until I was satisfied. Good value and nice people. Ask for Arturo!

Arturo and his crew recovered our 35 yr old leather couch, chair, ottoman & my inherited wingback chair & did a fabulous job! The leather & workmanship is top notch. Arturo is meticulous & professional at all times, taking great pains to make sure the fabric pattern we chose was going to work well with all the button tucks on the back of the wingback before we actually bought the fabric (something I hadn't thought of) he had to also rebuild the foundation of the couch cushions. We will be coming back for our dining room chairs soon. We found him on yelp & have passed his name to friends that are impressed with our furniture. Thank you Arturo, Anita & crew! read more

Called to have an ottoman reupholstered. Met with the owner to pick out fabric. He didn't have what I was looking for but agreed to pick up the ottoman after I found fabric. He called to check in with me once. I had just found the fabric (over the weekend following our meeting) and he said he would pick up my oversized ottoman as soon as he finished his current job. I called him at the time he had estimated he would be done, and he told me he could no longer do my ottoman because he accepted two larger jobs that would pay him more money and he no longer had time for my "small job". He wasted my time waiting for him because he turned around and cancelled on me even though he had committed to my job. Very unprofessional. read more

When I brought in my old chair that was falling apart I didn't know if there was any hope for it. The fabric was ripped, there was stuffing missing, and the springs were falling out of the bottom, but the chair had been in my family for decades, so I wanted to bring it in and hope for its second chance at life. Arturo's craftsmanship fully restored the chair, while keeping the integrity of the original design. His guidance and ideas during the process of picking out designs was phenomenal and far exceeded all expectations. I can't wait to come back and bring my sofa next time! Overall fantastic work and friendly and helpful service! I would highly recommend Arturo without any hesitation!! read more

Arturo is an artist. Performed some phenomenal work on a huge batch of outside patio furniture. Great value. Made it all look like new. Additionally, representing the highest integrity, he pointed out a flaw in a prior manufacturers work. Identified some material had been misrepresented as exterior but was only interior. He saved me a lots of money, however cost him some immediate business. He gained a permanent client. I recommend him without reservations. read more

Arturo does an excellent job. He is honest and hardworking and made our cushions in record-time before our son's wedding. He was affordable and caring. He may sometimes be hard to reach but worth the effort. He does not disappoint. He has lots of fabric onsite as well so be sure to give him a go. Convenient location too. I am going to use him again now, read more

I have been using Arturo for many years. His work has always been outstanding. I just had all of my Patio furniture re-upholstered by him. It turned out absolutely perfect. I highly recommended him if you are looking for quality work. read more

Aside from marrying my husband, I think going to this place was the best decision I've ever made. I bought a beautiful contemporary couch 5 years ago, and while the leather and frame are still in good shape, the cushions just couldn't hold up to the terror of a toddler. They became lumpy, uncomfortable, and I could feel the springs through the foam. So, rather than buy a completely new couch and waste a perfectly good frame, I decided to look into options for replacing the cushions. The owner, Arturo, was knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell he is an honest, hardworking business owner, and he gave me a fair price. He got the dimensions for each cushion and put in a custom foam order-- I received them in about a week. I got high quality foam and replaced the entire sectional for about $300. It was well worth it-- 4 months later, it still feels brand new! My butt has never been happier (literally). It's seriously a gift that keeps on giving. read more

Just picked up our chair from Arturo and we could not be happier. We bought a beautiful mid century modern wood recliner with a leather chair pad, but the leather was at least 60 years old and was cracking in places. I knew that getting it reupholstered would be expensive, but my husband loved the style of the chair so much that we decided it was worth the cost. I called Arturo on a Monday afternoon. He let me text him some pictures of the chair instead of bringing it in and he text me back the same night with a quote. He gave us a very reasonable quote (I also received quotes from the other top reviewed places on yelp and his was the best by a few hundred dollars). When I went to drop of the cushions and armrests he offered to use a beautiful high quality leather cowhide that he had in stock to save money on the leather. It turned out gorgeous. All said and done it was a three week turnaround. Honestly, don't waste your time with the other guys. Great customer service. Stuck with the quoted price even though the chair was a little more work than he planned and he had the chair finished exactly when he said he would. We will be back. read more

I was so lucky to find this company and would put them at the top of my list for referring people for upholstery. I needed to have a complicated chair pillow redone within a few days for a very special party at my home. I called and spoke with Arutolo, who happened, to be the owner. I explain what was needed and timeframe. He advised me it was not a problem and gave me an estimate ( which I was very pleased with) and advised me to come right in. I dropped off my pillow Tuesday late afternoon and got a called back the next afternoon. I picked it up and it pillow looks perfect! Thank you for wonderful workmanship,timely service and outstanding customer service. Gina J read more

I would give this place negative stars if I could. I took a heirloom settee in to get reupholstered, and went with Arturo bc he was prompt and gave me a competitive quote. That's where the professionalism ended. In the beginning he told me the job would take about a week. We agreed that I would purchase fabric from him, and I dropped the piece of furniture off at his store when he said he would be there so he can run me through the process & show me fabric options. TRIP #1: I called him the day of the appointment, and he told me he would be at the office. He was not. (This is a recurring theme, btw). I tell a female coworker there what I'd like to do with the settee, and tell her I'll be back to pick out the fabric some other time when Arturo is there. TRIP #2: I call & go back a few days later to pick out the fabric (ivory colored canvas), and Arturo tells me he is at the shop. When I arrive, he hurriedly looks around for a sample but can't find any. He points me to beige and silky material - much different from what I've asked for - then tells me he can't find anything right now and that I should look for my own material and come back. TRIP #3: I bring my own material, but Arturo is not at the store again, despite him telling me he would be there. I tell the female coworker how I would like the fabric to run (with the stitching running horizontally), and leave. Before I leave, an older couple was at the shop getting a quote and they ask me where I got my material, so I tell them Jo-Anns. I call Arturo again the next day (from the day I dropped off the settee he has never called me first to communicate what is happening), and he tells me he can get it done in 2-3 days. I tell him I'll pick it up in 4 days, just in case. He then angrily asks me what I told the old couple in the shop, bc now they don't want his business. I said that the only exchange I had with them was where my fabric was from - he says I must have told them something for them not to return. WHAT? I am shocked that he is blaming me for his lack of business. At this point, wondering if I could ever get my settee back, I try to keep my cool and call back in 4 days (not 2-3 as he said he would need), on a Friday. THE SETTEE IS NOT READY. He says to give him the weekend - and it will be ready on Monday. I told him I'll give him a few extra days & pick it up on Wednesday, because I didn't want to make a trip down again when it isn't ready. He agrees, and confidently says he will have it ready before then. TRIP #4: I call him the morning of Wednesday, pick-up day. He greets me by my name and tells me to come on over. I head over (it's about a 35 minute drive from my house) - and am SHOCKED to find that the chair HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED. He has the nerve to tell me he's been busy, and tried to blame it on me (saying he wasn't sure which way I wanted the fabric to run) -- so I ask why (a) he didn't call to ask, and (b) why he told me over the phone to come by when I called. This is where he loses it, and where the lies kept coming. He starts YELLING at me and says that he didn't know he was speaking to me over the phone. So I ask him why he didn't clarify what I was coming to pick up if he didn't know who he was talking to. He starts yelling and storming off saying his mom is sick and that he's got a lot of work to do, and if I want him to get the work done then I have to leave so he can get the job done. He continues to communicate with me by yelling at the female worker in Spanish, who then translates. The female coworker is standing there, not sure what to do, but not surprised by his demeanor. She later tells me he has made her cry plenty of times, and that he can be very stubborn, mean and unprofessional. Stressed about the whole process and 9 months pregnant, I'm wondering if I will ever see my grandmother's furniture restored. The female coworker tries to reason with him, and he starts yelling at her, too. She just sighs and says she can't do anything. He says that I need to come back some other time, without specifying when, and says I need to pay him now. I refuse to pay him for work he hasn't done (I had already put down a deposit)... and the female worker says he will give me a $20 discount. A $20 discount?! I demand that he deliver the settee to my home after he is done with it THAT DAY. A week long turnaround time has now become a month, and he says he will deliver it at 9pm. Why 9pm? He yells he needs to go to Tijuana first because his mom is not feeling well. I tell him ok. While walking out to my car, the female worker comes up to me and says Arturo can deliver the piece at 2:30 pm, earlier than the 9pm delivery time he stated. So his mom is not sick? She said he will work on it as fast as he can and deliver it for free. Arturo yelled that if he does deliver it for free, he's not going to help me carry it into my home, and that he will LEAVE IT ON THE STREET. It is now 3:55 pm. He's still not here. read more

I'd recommend V Squared to ANYBODY! The service was fantastic, and they went above and beyond to help me out. I called on a Friday afternoon, needing help with a couch and we had somebody in our apartment later that day! We were able to get everything fixed up and had the couch back into the apartment Sunday afternoon. The turnaround time and kindness they showed me were amazing. A+ read more

We came in for new couch cushion foam. Arturo gave us a great deal and turn around was same day. I spent about half the amount that other shops quoted. I wouldn't go anywhere else for upholstery service and I'd give 6 stars if I could. read more

When no one else wanted to fix my small burn on my couch cushion, Arturo and Victor took care of me. Just a small job, but I would use them again for any large job I had. Great customer service. read more

Arturo is fantastic! He understood exactly what I wanted done, and had it finished in less than a week. He re-stuffed the cushions for my couch and chair, and both are as good as new. I am thrilled with the results, and his pricing is very competitive, as well. I highly recommend this shop, and will definitely work with Arturo again with any upholstery needs. read more

I called to get an estimate on having a sectional reupholstered and after sending pictures and dimensions Auturo explained to me why it would not be worth having done. He explained pricing and fabric selection as well as why the quality of my sectional would not be worth the time and money to have redone. Auturo spent a great deal of time explaining to me what to look for the next time I buy a sofa. He was super helpful and seems really passionate about his work. I would recommend V Squared even though I have not had anything fixed by them on the premises that Auturo seems like a genuine, honest, hardworking man who loves his business. He answered my call and spent time explaining to me while he was on vacation in Maui; now that's dedication to your business. read more

Aurturo and team were amazing, I thought I gave them an impossible task and in these times of great disappointment, he did everything he promised and more at the price quoted. I own two vacation rental condos on the bay in Mission Beach and needed the job done between guests and it a very short turn around with good communication and more importantly a GREAT job. So glad I used hard working people instead of tossing a good piece of furniture away for an easy cheap common non USA built replacement. BRAVO ARTURO AND TEAM! read more

I have two wing back chairs that I wanted slipcovers made for. The existing fabric is in good shape so I wanted slipcovers for a change of color. Thought it was a good choice in case I ever want to go back to the original color. Arturo was fabulous. Listened to my request for tailored looking, tight fitting covers rather than a loose, casual look. Arturo and his team were very patient while it took me forever to decide on fabric! The covers were done on time and perfect. Beautiful, detailed work. Exactly what I asked for. One of those rare businesses that take pride in their work and customer service. AAAA+++!!!!! read more

I found V Squared through Yelp and chose them after comparing knowledge and price to other upholsterers. Arturo did an outstanding job reupholstering my 1920's dining room chairs. He helped me find a fabric very similar to original and was knowledgeable about the antique construction materials and methods to keep them authentic. Arturo was finished in time and I can't stop admiring his work. read more

I called 2 weeks ago (11 Mar) and a lady told me that Arturo would come and see me on the the 18th at 1.30P .. When the time came, no one showed up or called. So I called and Mr. Arturo himself answered the phone .. apologetic that he could not make it but would see me on the 24th at 1.00P ... It is just now, 1.30P, called and he answered the phone. When I ask him if he was still coming, he acted astounded. "Oh, it has been such a short week; I am so sorry .." blah blah blah. I told him that he could have called at least and that I find him unprofessional. I am so angry. .. read more

V Squared just did a PERFECT job on 6 dining chairs and an arm chair we needed re-upholstered. I can't say enough good things about Mr. Vallejo and his team - they were all very courteous, professional, efficient and accommodating. In our case we had a fabric that was made up into a slip cover for a sofa that I adored and wanted to see if we could recycle it for the re-upholstery job -- Mr. Vallejo and Eric looked it over and said it could be done!! The chairs are perfect and there was even some fabric left over! The job was done as promised time-wise and the labor was very fairly priced. I totally recommend V Squared! The shop is a little ensconced at the business park but just go to the end -- they're the last door. I'll be telling all my friends about it too! My only regret is that I didn't find them sooner! read more

This place is great. I can not say enough about this business. They simply do great work. A couch of mine was damaged during a move by Bay Park Moving company, never use them if you are reading this. It needed to get the back material replaced. I called V Squared, and they were very professional, and even though they couldn't get me in quickly, they held to the date they gave me. I dropped off my couch, and about 2 hours later if was fixed! And, very well done. I"m very satisfied with the quality of their work and how they treat their customers. If you need furniture re-upholstered, I highly recommend these guys!! read more

Arturo the owner was amazing! I would so highly recommend his business to anyone. He just delivered my couch that he reupholstered and he went above and beyond. the original has some extra stitching around the seams, but because i was on a tight timeline for a party, he didn't think he could get the extra stitching done. also, we a had a bit of a communication issue re: when I needed it (mostly my fault:)) and he got it finished four days ahead of when he thought it was supposed to be delivered... and delivered it himself.... AND did the extra stitching. i cannot say enough good things about him and is company. Thanks, Arturo!! read more

Arturo did a great job replacing cushions on my couch. Dropped them off in the am and picked them up in the afternoon. I will certainly refer more customers his way. Thanks again! read more

So glad I found this place! I needed to do some upholstery repairs to a sectional and Arturo was very kind and gracious and took time out of his busy day to show me exactly what I would need. I will definitely return for any of my future upholstery needs! read more

Arturo was awesome! He did a great job on my couch cushion and the prices were very reasonable. I am definitely coming back here again! Great service :) read more

I was very happy with the work Arturo did on my antique sofa and various other items. I purchased Sunbrella fabric and used that for my indoor furniture. This may have made the job a little more tricky, but the results were beautiful. The workmanship showed attention to detail and the job was through. This is the second job I have had done by Arturo and I am happy with the finished job. They also reupholstered my ottoman, piano bench and sewed some pillows. The price for this work was fair and the timeline, a little longer than anticipated, but worth the wait. read more

arturo's work is amazing! great quality, detail, and professional courtesy! the best and the only place i would go to have upholstery work completed with expert care!! thank you arturo!!! worth every cent!! read more

Guaranteed Upholstery took the bare frame of that old oak chair I brought in and transformed into a thing of beauty - beyond my expectations. And the job was done 2 weeks early! They had enough fabric choices on hand, interesting finishing materials and came through with fine craftsmanship. I'm very pleased with the job and would recommend them to anyone. read more

Arturo is the best!! Our reception chairs needed to be reupholstered and Arturo made them better than new. He is so professional and he came out personally to meet me and give us an estimate. Also, he took one of our chairs that day to do as an example, prior to picking up the other 15 chairs. The chairs are beautiful and we are extremely satisfied with the outcome. Thanks Arturo, I would recommend you with a big thumbs up! read more

Job well done. Three couch cushions filled. A damaged chair seat nicely recovered. The chair especially looked good. Thanks!

Art did a wonderful job upholstering our whole office. He upholstered 20 of our chairs in a week. He cleaned them and made them look like new! He did all this work in a timely manner and did a beautiful job! We would recommend him! read more
