My wife and I are overjoyed with the new look of our dining room chairs! Albert is a definite recommend for anyone looking for honest work and great value on upholstery work. Highly recommend him times 10x!! Great value, very professional and very friendly. Pictures included… first pic is our old upholstery and the second pic is our new upholstery. Albert came with samples and naturally my wife picked what she wanted. 🤣 I truly look forward to working with Albert again in the near future.

I highly recommend Albert. He was able to repair my couch better than new and did it for a great price and was very punctual. He did pick up and delivery and returned it in less than 24 hours! I wish all small businesses could be as good as this one.

Albert did a great job reupholstering our four dining chairs. We had these chairs for over 15 years and its the first time being reupholstered. He personally warrantied the upholstered chairs to last for a lifetime. He was respectful and kept delivery day as agreed and no extra cost for pickup and delivery

Absolutely fantastic work. Stitch 1 Nine completely transformed the front seats in my 2005 GMC Yukon Denali. As the before-and-after photos show, the original leather was badly worn, cracked, and torn in multiple places. The finished seats look incredible and completely changed the interior of the vehicle.
They were responsive from the beginning, showed up at my house exactly when they said they would, and arrived fully prepared to complete the entire job on-site. They got right to work, were professional throughout the process, and the quality of the installation was excellent. The new upholstery fits cleanly and looks like it belongs in the vehicle.
The convenience of having this level of upholstery work done professionally at my home was a huge plus. I could not be happier with the result. I would absolutely use Stitch 1 Nine again and highly recommend them to anyone needing automotive upholstery work.
