What a wonderful find in Miami!! I am in the midst of redecorating my balcony area, for which I needed waterproof cushions for outdoors. They were able to cut and design marine-compliant ( the same cushions used on yachts that are buoyant with the highest density) within 72 hours. When I picked up my cushions I was shocked at how well constructed they all were! I couldn't be happier with their services; will definitely be returning for additional services!!

WARNING, READ THIS FIRST. We had first hired Ernesto (owner) in July of 2021 to reupholster a very small 10" stool. Supplies including stool + Venetian velvet costing around $300 (not including his labor cost) were all provided by us. We were initially given a estimated time of completion of 2 weeks. Several weeks of not hearing from Ernesto, we followed up to only be given a response of. "not yet completed". Long story short, this continued on for 5 MORE MONTHS. Each month, having made an attempt in obtaining a status update, none was given. We tried calling + texting, most attempts being ignored

Quick, efficient & local treasure.


I own a small business hair salon and needed a few seats redone (didn't want to spend money buying new chairs for the salon). They came to the business to pick up the seats and came back the next day with them fixed.

Would recommend!

I had two vinyl chairs that were in disrepair. Gil’s did an amazing job in replacing the peeling vinyl with high quality leather. His workmanship is exceptional, he’s very friendly and he always responded to my texts and phone calls.

Gil’s upholstery was a pleasure to work with. From start to finish they were professional in every way. He met every deadline and was always on time. His prices were also the best!! The work came out beautifully and we adore our “new” couch!! I would 100% use them again and recommend to anybody needs these services.

I brought in old theater seats. I had an idea in mind for how I wanted them. Ernesto and his team completely refurbished the chairs to perfection. They are stunning and a true masterpiece in my home. I'm incredibly grateful for their creative efforts. I highly recommend and have been recommending Ernesto of gil's design upholstery. I couldn't be happier with the successful job they did.

They did an AMAZING reupholstering my couch, chair and ottoman. These items were beat to heck from years of dogs, spills, etc, but now they look brand new. The fabric and new cushioning are awesome. The price was very fair, and eveyone I worked with was very courteous and professional. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

First, as you can see by the attached photo, Gil has perfectly matched pieces of fabric making a beautiful upholstery job. Mr. Gil answers his phone and texts. His knowledge and pleasant demeaner allowed us to feel comfortable spending several thousand dollars on various upholstery jobs we've needed. His work was completed on time and our patio furniture, two kitchen chairs and custom cut form for our redwood burl chair have added real quality to our surroundings.

They upholstered a sofa & love seat & did an ok job but, the owner would make an appointment & then not show up, had my furniture for over a month, & blamed the people he ordered the material from. He took an antique chair of mine to reupholster, he never got the material I wanted, & then told me if I didn't come get the chair he would charge me $25.00 a day until I picked it up. The chair was covered in plastic & one of his employees carried the chair to my car. When I took it out of my car & removed the plastic I saw why they had covered it & put it in my

Find another place. Made an appointment with person to come see my furniture and never came. Excuse was that I never confirmed two hours prior to the scheduled appointment, when the time and date were originally confirmed a few days prior when appointment was made. Eventually got a text he had too busy of a schedule. Loss a morning's worth of work waiting.

We hired Gil to reupholster our expensive Pottery Barn sectional that we absolutely LOVE, it's the most plush, comfortable sofa we have ever owned. It was originally white twill fabric but it was starting to look stained no matter how many times we had it cleaned so it was time for a face lift. We went with the linen/polyester blend with chrome nail heads and Gil went above and beyond. It looks AMAZING! Gil is beyond professional, fair and punctual. I highly recommend him and he has definitely acquired a repeat customer.

Do not come here. They will tell you on the phone no more than $1,500 and have them pick up my couch. Then get a $2,300 bill. I ask for an itemized invoice and they apparently do not understand what itemized is. They charged me $45 for bs. And $85 to pick up my couch. Then after they charge it I noticed a $87.55. Where did that $2.55 come from. Do not come here !!

Ernesto Gil is an old school craftsman! I highly recommend his workmanship and, equally important, his customer service. His pricing is fair, his communication was excellent and pick up/delivery were timely. He is very honest and patient (which he needed with me as I could not decide on the fabric). His shop is modest but don't underestimate it. It is a clean space and his workers are diligent. Ttheir attention to detail is obvious in the work. And the bonus point is that he and the staff are personable and nice!!! So rare these days. I HIGHLY recommend him and his team for any project
