I recently hired Luis to reupholster four white dining chairs, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. His work is outstanding clean, precise, and truly professional. He explained that he used a marine grade material, which is much more durable than what we previously had, and the quality is evident right away. The chairs look elegant, sturdy, and beautifully finished. I also appreciate his punctuality, attention to detail, and the way he explained everything throughout the process. I highly recommend Luis, he is skilled, reliable, and delivers excellent service.

A little goes a long way. El ingeniero upholstery made my vehicle look brand new. From the steering wheel to the center console to the doors, everything was reupholstered and now looks showroom ready (Big deal for a 10 year old car!) I was very impressed by the turnaround time, the flexibility of service, and the quality of work that my vehicle received. The entire team was kind and considerate and created every opportunity to make sure I was comfortable whenever I was at the shop. Pricing was generous and well worth it. Ladies, if you’re looking for a place that won’t price gouge you, someone who will be honest with you about the state of your vehicle, and a kind smile with simple service, this is your place. 5 stars all the way around.

I was looking for someone to replace my roof liner on my BMW. I found Luis on a Saturday morning, he gave me a reasonable price and promised he would have a new one replaced and completed by end of day. As promised, it was completed and looked like new. He did a great job and I would recommend him.

Luis did a fantastic job of recovering our chairs. They were in bad shape and we wanted to lighten up the space.

About Antique Furniture Restoration

Common questions and tips from our work with Davie customers.

Will restoring an antique hurt its value?
It depends on the piece and on how the work is done. Sympathetic restoration that stabilizes a frame and replaces failed upholstery with period-appropriate material generally preserves or improves usable value. Stripping original finishes, replacing hand-cut joinery with modern hardware, or swapping traditional construction for foam and staples is where value gets lost. For pieces that may be genuinely collectible, we recommend an appraisal before work starts so the decision is informed.
What is the difference between restoration and reupholstery?
Reupholstery replaces the cover and usually the padding, working within the existing structure. Restoration goes further, addressing the frame joinery, the support system, and the original construction methods, with the goal of returning the piece to how it was made rather than how it would be built today. Antique work usually needs the second approach, because the failures are structural underneath, not just cosmetic on the surface.
Can you match old fabric styles and patterns?
We can usually find period-appropriate material in the right weave, weight, and pattern family, and for many eras the reproduction fabric available today is very good. Exact matches to a discontinued original are rarely possible. What we can do is preserve original trim, nailhead patterns, and piping details so the finished piece reads correctly even with new material. Bring any remnant you have, including scraps found under the seat deck.

Tip

Save every original piece you remove

If a chair arrives with loose trim, a detached nailhead strip, or old webbing, keep it all and bring it with the piece. Original trim can often be cleaned and reused, and even fabric too far gone to save serves as the pattern reference for cut and placement. Remnants hidden under the seat deck are especially useful, since they show the unfaded original color that the exposed surfaces no longer represent.

Tip

Control humidity where the piece lives

Old joinery moves with moisture. South Florida humidity swings loosen hide glue and open joints that were tight for a century in a drier climate. After restoration, keep the piece away from exterior doors, unconditioned porches, and direct sun through a slider. Consistent indoor climate does more to protect an antique in Davie than any surface treatment, and it keeps a repaired frame from working itself loose again.
