Great place! I just needed some pre-owned fabric cut and hemmed to size for a custom job and they got it done without any problems. A+ service, reasonable prices, quick turnaround.

Just had 2 bench stools done. They were so accommodating, professional, and friendly. They were kind enough to fit the job into their busy schedule, so that we could have them before hosting Christmas. Highly recommend and would definitely return for future projects!

I just had a 1998 blue plaid Broyhill sofa (Fontana) reupholstered in a high performance cream fabric by Ron and Scott. They did a fabulous job! The piping on the seats and rolled arms along with the box skirt was right on! I highly recommend them. They even picked up and dropped off.

I have a wooden frame platform rocker that is over 100 years old. Ron and Scot did a fabulous job cleaning the wood and reupolstering the body. I could not be more pleased with the result.If anyone is looking to have any reupolstery done,look no further than Masterson's.

I recently had two armchairs reupholstered and could not be happier with the experience. I waited a few weeks for my job to come up, but it was well worth the wait. The communication, service, price, pick-up and delivery were all excellent. I almost want to keep this company a secret, but neighbors were kind enough to share it with me, so I'm letting the secret out. I will most definitely use them again.
