lou's upholstery 1355 16th Street South, St. Petersburg, FL 33705

"The business doesn't look like much, just a garage off an alley. But we've dealt with the corporate casual furniture places in the past and ended up overpaying for inferior work. So we handed over our four high-end but tattered patio chaises and hoped for the best. We got better than the best at a very fair price. Brooks (Lou's grandson who does the actual work) is a craftsman who loves this work at which he is very, very good. It's a small business that deserves to be larger. Don't be misled by appearances."

"I am delighted with the work Lou and her team did for me. I bought these chairs used and with Lou’s pro quality reupholstery work they look brand new and fabulous!"

"My wife inherited an antique sofa from her grandmother when she passed this year. It was a piece that she had tons of memories of as a child going to her grand parents house. It needed to be recovered purely because it didn’t go with anything in our house. We chose Lou’s upholstery due to many stellar reviews on Google. It’s run out of their one car garage in a back alley. It was a little awkward rolling up the first time but these people are AWESOME! Ms. Lou and her grandson are true professionals and masters of the craft. We spent about 20 min looking through samples and asking questions before we settled. They were very helpful and patient. They were on time delivering the finished product and it was PERFECT! The price was also extremely reasonable compared to other estimates we got. They added extra foam to the cushion at no extra cost. The best part is they saved the original sales tag they found from 1966 and stitched it into the new fabric with a window, which happens to have her grandparents names and date they bought it. We totally forgot to mention this to them and they took the time to go the extra mile when they had no obligation. We will be using them again."

"I brought my old dingy 1980s style camper couch cushions to Lous, and they came back magnificent! Just what we needed to give this camper an updated look! The craftsmanship is flawless. I recommend them for any of your reupholstery needs. Great price. Reasonable turn around. Thank you, Lous!"

"My sister in laws threw this old bench that belonged to my mother in law out by the trash. I refurbished- restained it and then I called Lou. She and her grandson have quite the operation. Look no further if you want to update some furniture. They have samples of material, provide pick up and delivery and their work is beautiful. Very prompt and such hard workers. They are awesome to work with! I just had a family heirloom rocker redone. Another amazing job done by Lou and her grandson and staff. Awesome work very professional good prices awesome to work with!"
