Under Cover Upholstery

I have relied on Sabrina at Undercover for furniture reupholstery for about 8 years now. She and her staff have completed many projects for me and my clients. The quality of work is always high for a reasonable price. They also do not shy away from difficult pieces, but work on them patiently and carefully until they get it just right. They have done everything from chaise lounges and traditional dining chairs to funky mid-​century and more for me, and I am always thrilled with the outcome. Sabrina and her staff are always a pleasure to work with as well! I highly recommend.

Sabrina, and her staff at Undercover Upholstery went above and beyond in rectifying and seeing thru a frustrating situation that took over 7 months to complete.
I’d ordered some (what I now realize was overpriced and defective) fabric and furniture elsewhere and the gentleman recommended I take my two dated, but beautiful Bergere chairs to UU for the work and update.
After originally waiting months for the fabric and then 2 months for the work to begin, Undercover Upholstery called to tell me there was something wrong with the fabric, but unfortunately someone had cut the fabric to try to make it work, and tried to ‘fix’ by steaming the fabric. By that point, there was no way to prove the fabric arrived in the condition, since it was manipulated and no way I could send it back for a refund. Trying to satisfy me, Sabrina ordered a 2^nd bolt of fabric (on her own) and we waited yet again. When it arrived, they called me to witness them opening the bolt. it was apparent the entire lot was defective (creased, stained, even!), and the problem lay with the manufacturer’s storage, etc…
I decided to order a now 3^rd more contemporary and fun fabric found thru their selection of books, and I have to say after 3 weeks time, the chairs look fresh and fabulous! As misdirected as my frustration was at first, I have to say that Sabrina and her staff showed their professionalism and stood behind their work (and honor) in trying to make things right.
I would absolutely recommend Undercover Upholstery for their responsibility and pride in their work.

I recently had 2 Viko Baumritter chairs and an ottoman reupholstered from Sabrina and Under Cover Upholstery, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Not only did Sabrina’s bid come in significantly lower than 2 other Austin Upholsterers, but her whole team was a pleasure to work with, and the quality of workmanship/​attention to detail was some of the best I’ve seen. I’m sure there’s some guy in West texas who redoes furniture in his basement who could be cheaper, but for quality, local work she was the best I could find.
I was able to hold onto the chairs until the date that I was scheduled, and her team was able to get the chairs and ottoman (which included shortening of the ottman legs) turned around in a single day. This also included new foam and springs for each chair (so not just a swapping of fabric)
I had already purchased my own fabric separately for the job, so I can’t speak to that portion, but when you walk into Sabrina’s shop it’s obvious that there were multiple swatches to choose from, so you should definitely consider checking her stock out before buying anything on your own.
I’ll try to post a picture on this review to show a before/​after so you can judge for yourselves. I normally don’t write reviews for anything, so at the least you should get a quote from Under Cover before committing to anybody else.

Under Cover has made bolster pillows for me and recovered a chair. Both jobs were done beautifully for what I expected to pay. Sabrina has an eye for how to place a patterned fabric on furniture to make it pop. She also genuinely cares about her work and my satisfaction. I can’t ask for more.

Sabrina did an amazing job upholstering our mid-​century contour lounge. It’s a funky piece that required special care, and she pulled it off wonderfully. Her staff member Mary was extremely helpful in guiding us toward a good fabric choice and providing some interior design guidance for our new living room pieces. On top of their mutual knowledge & expertise, both were professional, warm, and friendly, which made working with them a pleasure. Under Cover is a team you can trust with your treasured possessions, as well as share a few laughs with. We highly recommend them!

I had a 50 year-​old wingback recovered recently. Sabrina (the store owner) drove out to my house and measured for the slipcover and gave me yardage info. She was such a gem to work with — like a diamond in the sky — plus she is one hip chick.
I love my wingback now, and Sabrina even made a pillow from a Peruvian panel of material that my son brought me back from Machu Pichu.
I would recomment Under Cover above the many others I have used over the years. Sabrina knows her business and I love her work.

Best deal in Austin!!! I researched for months to have my 4 dining chairs recovered and it was going to be much cheaper to buy new ones… UNTIL I stumbled upon UNDER COVER. This super laid back biz does great work at great prices. Sabrina has TONS of fabric books to choose from as well.
This place is nothing fancy and space is small so the turn time may be a bit longer but the price was the best in Austin. Sabrina and her team did a great job… kinda don’t want to send in the Unilocal because I want to keep secret to myself. :)

We have been a customer of Under Cover for years. I first looked for upholstery service, when I wanted to put a bench in our alcove and put cushions on the bench so we can read and lounge.
After talking to three vendors, I settled on Under Cover. I talked to Sabrina and got some advice from her on the kind of fabric to use. I got the fabric and color I wanted, dropped it off to her along with the measurements of the space. In a few weeks, we had a pair of beautiful cushions for our bench.
A few years later, I imported a few Indonesian teak benches for our house. I did not hesitate one second to contact Sabrina again to make the cushions for the benches.
Sabrina made us, not one, not two, but a total of 8 cushions for 5 different benches. The cushions were all well-​made, extremely durable, and yet very comfortable. Her price was quite affordable.
If you need cushions made, give her a call!
