Nunez Upholstery

So you buy a sofa a year ago from a large retailer with the 4-​notes at the end of their advertisements only to find the cushions deteriorating. Horrors what’s a gal to do?
You call Nunez Upholstery is what you do. They actually answer the phone for starters and after I gave them some dimensions was given a quote and a promise if I would drop off the cushions in question I would get delivery the same day! What?! How can this be?
Now I will admit the neighborhood does not afford itself to parking and the facility might be a bit full of stuff but this father/​son and team are very nice to deal with. The price was good, the work is awesome and yes I did receive my beautiful cushions back and better than the original.
Would I recommend? Absolutely, positively! Thank you again for the wonderful, fast, fair and very satisfying experience!
Project 2
Once again, stellar reports. We asked to have an old headboard I had given to our children replicated. Nunez once again did a wonderful job. They recreated our old headboard to new dimensions and did I mention this was not a reupholstered project this was new from start to finish.
The work is wonderful, the price more than fair and they do deliver. They don’t install but they do deliver and we can handle a couple of screws into a bed frame.
I would whole heartedly recommend this family owned local business. Project three will be next with a makeover for our dining room chairs!

These guys really know what they are doing. I was in need of an end-​of-​year chiropractic table re-​upholstering and I only had a few days before we re-​opened for business after the Holiday season. My old upholstery guy recently retired plus he never worked on short notice so i took my chances with Nunes Upholstery. These guys made a 30 year old chiropractic table look like new!!! Even more impressive, the completed the entire job in less than 24 hours, which is a major bonus. I will be using these guys for years to come. Thanks Nunes Upholstery!

These guys are the best. Super professional, friendly and helpful. I had a very expensive Ethan Allen recliner that was in sad shape, but didn’t want to get rid of it because of its superior quality. They came to the house, showed me samples, quoted a fair price ($ 475) and it was a deal. And they took it with them and then delivered it back for no extra charge! It turned out beautifully and I can now enjoy my chair for another 15 years!

Nunez Upholstery did a fantastic job on our 33 yrs. old dining chairs. We highly recommend him for the job well done.

The five stars are for the quality of the work. They do a fantastic job.
One caveat: you may need to be specific if you need the item by a specific date, and you may want to follow up a few days before. I’m not sure that they are organized in the calendar sense of the word.
But if what is most important is quality work, you should stop looking and go here.
They will pick/​up deliver in the local area, or you can handle it yourself.
They have a good selection of upholstery fabrics to choose from, or you can purchase your own (you should find out from them how much they need.)
They can also replace your foam, rebuild cushions, etc. They know their work. Have you heard that it takes 10,000 hours to develop true expertise at something? These guys have their 10,000 hours in.
I found Nunez Upholstery last year when a relative asked for my help finding an upholsterer to do her heavy-​as-​hell fold-​out couch. Good bones but the fabric was getting worn. They picked up and delivered it, including navigating a tight staircase. They did a beautiful job.
More recently, I had an antique high-​backed rocking chair reupholstered, and they even cleaned and polished the wood, etc. It is equally beautiful.
Each piece was in the $ 350-​$ 450 range, but I imagine that size of item, fabric and delivery may make a difference, so just use that as a benchmark.

Definitely a tough place to find if you don’t know where you’re looking, but once you find it I can see how people become loyal to it. I had my couches completely remade. They basically just used the frame, reinforced it, and then made my new couches from there. They were completely custom. They let me choose the best materials for the same price, gave me ideas, but were not pushy whatsoever– especially since I thought I would spend like $ 200 dollars for just re-​stuffing but instead ended up ordering new couches. Long story short took about 10 days, paid half up front and other half at completion. And now we have couches that will feel the same 10 yrs later. Long lasting, nice and sturdy furniture unlike the junk I’ve got a other furniture stores in the past. Good job Rigo! Check out my pic. Excuse my dog.

Apparently customer service is a major issue with upholsterers. They answered the phone when I called the first time and were very responsive when I showed up. The shop is definitely a dive and could raise some concerns when it comes to leaving furniture. Not only did they do a good job but it was completed before promised. The work was well done but the price quoted at drop off was slightly lower than the price at pick up and I had nothing to show for the difference.

So I came here after finally getting a quote from another place that over charged me big time.
I called today, 2÷26÷15, and I was able to bring my materials in to get a slip cover made with a zipper for a mattress/​couch cushion (73“x36“x6″) for a reasonable and fair price ($ 125). The son and father are incredibly nice and waited for me to get there right at 6:00pm. I was told the turn around time is two days but it was ready the very next day at 6pm. Again they were able to wait for me to drive there to pick it up!
It came out great. He was able to make it 1″ bigger all around because he stated my material will shrink when I wash it. Thanks for looking out!
PROS:
— Good, fair, and realistic Pricing
— great customer service
— Father & Son business
— Answer the phone when you call and communicate/​organize a proper quote and drop-​off/​pick-​up time and convo
CONS:
–Parking is street and it’s pretty crowded

These guys are simply the best at what they do. I had some dining chair tables that were completely worn out after years of sitting. The fabric was getting tattered and the cushioning was lumpy and flat. I brought them here and they quickly suggested they could reupholster these chairs with a sturdy leather material and that it would be done in 2 days. When we came to pick up the chairs, we were pleasantly surprised that they had gone above and beyond by also giving us new memory foam-​like cushions and had also replaced the fabric on the bottoms of seats with a much more durable fabric. I’ve told my aunt about them for some work on her old sofa and she loves them too! Such a good deal for great work. The owner and who i believe are his sons really are the nicest and hard working guys around and they will do a fantastic job with your re-​upholstery needs. I’ll definitely be back!

I was impressed with the work– high quality and the foam replacement made the furniture look brand new. The prices for my three pieces were very reasonable and service friendly with local delivery. Love the new look on my furniture!

I had no idea a pull out sofa (queen size) could be really fixed. Edgar Nunez came over and told me they happen to have a perfect frame to replace the broken one. He said they got it for another customer but it wasn’t right. He sold it and installed it for me at the price they paid for it. Father & son came to my house, took out the broken one, installed the new one and it’s been great ever since. I should have written this review a long time ago.

Couch and ottoman look great, posted a pic. New stuffing rivets gave them an amazing make over. $ 1200 for both. Took about two weeks and they picked up and dropped off.

Found this shop on Unilocal,read the reviews and took a vanity stool seat into the shop to have it re-​upholstered. I am extremely satisfied with the results. Now I am considering having two larger jobs done by this company.

We took an antique rocker to have them re-​upholster, with the material and they did a FABULOUS job… the rocker looks brand new and the they even cleaned-​up and
freshen up the wood. GREAT JOB AND GREAT PRICE!!!

First, I’m not a family member and wasn’t referred here by any personal connections. Unilocal… you guys sent me here. And, I couldn’t be any happier.
Both Edgar and Mr. Nunez were super nice. Yes, this is a mom and pop type shop, so don’t expect the formality of the big box stores. But, they give you personalized service that would be hard to beat. And at a price that is very wallet friendly.
I took two jackets there that were my fathers and I wanted to have them made into throw pillows. My dad passed away recently and I wanted something (more) to remember him. One of the jackets was wool (Southwest print) and the other was leather. Anyhow, it would take a little bit of patchwork, because I needed two pillows… one for myself and one for my twin. Well, long story short, these guys made it work and the project turned out amazing.
I’ll be back in the future, without hesitation.

This review is way overdue, but I can’t speak highly enough of these guys work! I was building a custom 1981 Suzuki GN400, and upholstering the seat pan I made was the only part of the build that I didn’t want to mess with myself. Went down the Nunez’s, briefly explained what I wanted, and left them with the metal pan and foam cushion I’d shaped. A week later I got a call that it was done. I drove straight down and pretty much fell in love with my new seat. It was exactly what I’d envisioned, but even better. the attention to detail was amazing. I get compliments on the bike (and the seat specifically) everywhere I ride the thing, and it even made in onto a few prominent moto blogs like Silodrome and BikeExif. Thanks guys!!!

One of our chi-​warriors (cough*notmine*cough) dug a nice gaping hole in our large leather couch cushion. We went far too long before getting it fixed, we just threw a blanket over it (which unfortunately made the dogs want to dig at it more).
Upon moving to Long Beach and realizing we’d eventually want to invite people over, — it was time to figure out where to get it fixed. Nunez upholstery got great ratings on Unilocal,and they were super close to our new spot.
Yes, this place is a hole in the wall. The day I dropped off the cushion, the guys working were eating lunch at a table inside the shop, propped up against the front door. Needless to say my entrance disrupted their lunch!
They quickly gave me two options — a vinyl which would be cheaper, or a leather that matched exactly. We went with the leather and it matches perfectly! Excellent job! Looks like a brand new couch.
When the 6 pound digger decides how to burrow through this cushion again, we’ll be back!
Helpful hints: make sure you call to make sure your item is finished before stopping by. I dropped in on the day I thought it would be ready and they needed another day. Save yourself a trip and just call first. They’re good at answering the phone.
I believe they are cash/​check only and will want a deposit when you drop your item off.

Mr. Nunez and his son Edgar are awesome! First of all, I had called several places in my area for a quote and NONE got back to me. I’ve read many reviews that say that upholsterers do not have a good track record of getting back to potential customers. SO TRUE!!! How is it that a business doesn’t care to gain new customers??? It’s mind boggling.
Edgar communicated with me promptly and provided me with a quote quickly as he had promised. I had a chair and ottoman that I needed reupholstered in 4 days and they took care of it with no problem. Great job too!
Bottom line is that they are a legit outfit that does excellent work. Don’t be scared of the small and rather disorganized looking shop. It does not reflect on their quality of work.

Father and son attention to detail, communication, order to delivery time was excellent. Could not have asked for more to have them part of my café project. Compared to others, asked 300% less for the work.
Pic uploaded, black leather with piping and bronze diamond stitching on his custom seat pan. Go go go — he does all types of work. He did for 3 bikes of ours! Will be back to have auto seats done. So humbled to work with him.

Update: March 3, 2012
This is my second visit to Nunez and I could not be more satisfied. I brought a battered chair I found at a thrift store and some beautiful fabric to Nunez in hopes of having them create something exquisite out of something old. Their work continues to leave me speechless; the quality, the dedication, the prices– it is all too good to be true. However, this place is for real!
I can not recommend them enough. Yet, I think my pictures of their work speak for themselves.
Thank you, Rigoberto and Edgar, for giving life to an old chair. I’ll be back.
