Client Stories

If you're looking for someone who treats upholstery as both craft and art then look no further. it's very clear that this business is not just about covering furniture it's about creating something exceptional .Skippy upholstery puts great attention to every detail, to the quality of workmanship and a lot of pride in every stitch. Skippy cares with precision and creativity he always goes the extra to offer thoughtful suggestions and adds many finishing touches that really elevate the final result. Its not just beautifully restored and reupholstered it really looks like a high-end creation. It's rare to find someone who combines this technical skill with the vision of something artistic and individualized and that's exactly what you get here I could not be happier with the results over and over again with everything I have ever given him to reupholster. I recommend Skippy upholstery without hesitation to anyone who appreciates outstanding craftsmanship and exceptional quality

Highly recommend this shop from personal experience. We had our well-worn but dear to the family dining room chairs and the living room set redone by Igor. He is honest, reliable and most importantly a gifted upholsterer. Our items were ready in a timely fashion and looked better than new. Again, I recommend this establishment for all your upholstery needs.

Igor was great to deal with and helped us select some new material for some old family furniture we wanted to keep in the family. Straight forward and honest... what more can you ask for from a business!?!
