Everything in this review about Snyder Upholstery, is the absolute undisputed truth and can be substantiated by emails and tape recorded phone calls. On or about June 11 2021, I brought my 1995 Jaguar XJS into Snyders to get a quote on reupholstering the seats. I was quoted by Tina that it would cost $3500 for material and labor. She said she would need a deposit of $1700, which i put on my Visa card. She set up an appointment for me to bring the car in on July 5. She advised me that the project would take two weeks. On July 2 she called me to tell me she forgot that Snyder would be closed

I was absolutely amazed that they restored my 40 year old dining chairs to near perfection and the amount spent was well worth the money

Sure made my car seats way more comfortable. Had my driver's side seat re-stuffed for $270. Very happy with this, especially since can't get used seats shipped to NY since they have airbags in them

It was a great pleasure working with Snyder Upholstery! I was able to meet directly with the owner, and he was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in being able to help me re-create my 2002 Chopper’s Inc chopper seat!
Thank You again Bob & Tina!

I’ve had several great experiences with Bob who owns Snyder’s Upholstery.
First off, I own a jewelry store and had display case boards made with a velvet like fabric to hold the jewelry. We had over 30 of them made. They came out beautiful and perfect. Was very happy.
Secondly, I had Bob custom fit an “elephant” pool cover for our pool. He had to trim off existing fabric and re-sew a hem and add hooks into the adjustment that was made. Our pool had a custom design or layout that wasn’t normal in any way. This came out better than I expected considering I know that Bob isn’t a pool

A-MA-ZING experience! Custom job on a brand new piano bench with terrible padding. They tricked it out with high quality padding and a new cover. What they did is incredible! They probably doubled its value. Reasonable price, excellent turnaround time and some of the highest quality work I’ve seen in a long time. They are very personable, too - but their real talent is understanding what you want and creating the best option for you. Trust their recommendations - they really know what they’re doing. Seriously - I’m looking around my house right now trying to figure out what else I can bring

Sofa upholstery needed repair. Price seemed a little high, but we agreed to it. Good craftsmanship costs money. But - within just a couple of months, one seam that didn't appear to have been knotted right in the first place started to come apart. Owner is insisting on charging again to come out to fix it. He'll tell you we agreed that there was no guarantee on his work, and that's true - but that assumes it was done competently in the first place, which this didn't appear to be, considering how quickly it came undone. I always want to support local artisans, and I get that they

I needed a new convertible top installed on my Audi TT Roadster. Snyder recommended I purchase the top myself, as they couldn't not match the price I received online. I appreciated this honesty and went ahead and secured the top, brought it to Snyder and it was perfectly installed. Price was reasonable and I highly recommend their service.

Great experience with Snyder Upholstery! Would highly recommend to anyone needing leather work. I know all of our boating friends will be using them in the next year or so. Quick turn around time, easy communication, perfect color selection, reasonable prices, talented and skilled workers to complete the job. Thank you so much for doing our swim platform; it’s perfect!

Not good customer service. I went in for a quote. The woman behind the counter had a terrible cough. Not a good impression with all the colds and flu/virus going around. She was waiting on someone so she called another woman to help out. I explained to her what I wanted and she asked me to fill out a form with my name, etc. She then proceeded to wait on the customer who came in after me. Obviously someone who had been there before. I wonder how long she thought I was going to wait for her? I walked out.

Since I run one of the larger automobile dealerships in the area, I have my choice of where to send our interior work. We have used these guys in the past and they have always done exceptional work. BUT recently I sent one of my personal vehicles in to have the seats repaired and i wanna say what a great job they did! Look at the before and after pics and you will see the quality of their work! It took a little longer than expected but it was only because they were trying to make sure the did things the right way, the first time! I would personally recommend Snyders for ANY interior work you have

The driver's seat on my Toyota 4Runner needed a large tear repaired and the foam built up. It's an amazing car but this is a common wear point.

I stopped by Snyder's and they gave me a quote, and we set up a morning appointment a few days later. I dropped it off in the morning and it was ready at the end of the day. It was very easy to work with them.

I was impressed by their knowledge of fabrics and vinyl.
The other thing that I think really sets them apart is how many upholsterers they have working for them. It means that you can get an appointment very soon, without

My company had some office chairs re-upholstered, and we had a great experience with Snyder. They were very responsive and professional with all interactions we had with them. They were fairly priced and did a wonderful job. Snyder picked up the chairs from our company and delivered them back the next day, which was helpful to our employees who were left using whatever they could find around the office. We are very happy with our choice of using Snyder Upholstery and plan on using them for another job in the near future.

I can't say how amazed I was when I saw the finished product .I was speechless, my jaw dropped. Bob was simply one of the best individuals I ever dealt with. He promised a week on seat made from scratch and he was done early.When I picked up the seat we tried it in the boat and fit like it was the original. Ozzie even took the time to make me an additional bracket for the install at no charge. I guess Anthony's loss was my gain. I couldn't be any happier, Thank you Bob and all the guys at Snyder!!!!

A great example of promises and pitch and instead of solving problems is abandoning the job. I engage Snyder approximately 4 weeks ago to complete a canvas for my boat. They said they would do it and came up with a charge that was average compared to their competition. The boat was in the water and they said they could accomplish it in the water. After giving him a deposit a few weeks back they said they were going to start with it this past Monday and we'll be done with it by Friday. today is Friday the owner called me to say that he just couldn't do a canvas on it because it was windy

Robert and his company were very easy to work with when ordering new custom cushions for my porch. They were as enthusiastic about the outcome as I was. The cushions turned out well made and beautifully sewn.
