Bud's Canvas & Upholstery Shop — Local services in Sugar Hill

Bud is the man. We had a leather armchair from the 1970’s that we wanted to restore back to its former glory. It was kind of a sentimental piece of my parent’s living room, and as a result, my dad had been reluctant to let us take it somewhere for years.

I called around to a few places in town after sending him pictures, Bud was able give us a very fair quote and timeline for the job.

When I arrived at his shop I immediately knew this guy knew his stuff. He’s been doing this kind of work for decades and as a one man show, I could tell he would guarantee an attention to detail and quality of work. I chose a vinyl that matched the leather color and had a nice soft smooth texture. I then asked if he could shine up some of the metal frame and add some batting to the cushions.

There was a pattern on the new fabric, everything lined up perfectly on the seams, the piping was good and the buttons on the chair back looked like they came from the factory. I've upholstered a few items myself in the past--but never again. I'm taking...

I submitted 6 cushions that were exactly the same to get restuffed. 3 came out great and the other 3 looked like they weren't redone. He told me they would be done in 1 day and it took 5 days. I had to call them about my items to see when they would be completed. They smelled like cigarette smoke and were covered in dust. One cushion still had chalk writing on it. I definitely would not...
