Melo & Sons Upholstery

Melo & Sons did an amazing job!
My over-​stuffed Jordan’s couch would not fit up the front or back stairs. Without demolition, we did not have a window large enough for the couch. I called Melo & Sons for an estimate, and the price they offered was great. For reference, they quoted $ 275 to disassemble, move and reassemble my fabric couch. It was going to cost double for a moving company to hoist the couch, or to use a «medical sounding» competitor. For an extra $ 50 they also moved a loveseat upstairs for me.
They showed up on time, and worked very quickly. They explained the process and took impressive care to keep the couch and my house clean. After they were done, they wrapped up the moving blankets in such a way that they did not leave a single staple or thread behind.
They were polite and professional from start to finish. I can’t believe how quickly they got the job done. Best part of the job is my couch doesn’t squeak any more. I guess they put it back together better than it started.
I wish I could give them 6 stars.

We live in an old house with tight hallway corners. The couch we bought wasn’t big but it didn’t matter. It was not going to get into our living room. I looked up couch takedown services. Apparently a big business in NYC but not Boston. This place had great Unilocal reviews so we gave them a shot.
They schedule a 2 hour window and call when a half hour away. They came and took the couch apart… And got the couch where it needed to be. They even removed the cheap staples in the fabric and replaced with stronger bolts. Very pleasant guys as well.
I’m pretty sure this is a very common issue in the small houses surrounding Boston. Give them a call and they’ll get your furniture into the tightest spots.

Absolutely amazing service. I called for an estimate just this morning for their Knock Down Service. We have a sectional that we attempted at bringing in to our place yesterday but it just would not fit. We live in an old apartment in Boston where the door frames and hallways are very narrow.
I called and spoke to Joanne, who was super helpful. She was able to give me an easy flat rate for our sectional. I informed her that our sectional was currently sitting outside because we had no other place to store it. She was able to add us into their schedule today! Not even 2 hours later after first talking to Joanne did they show up! Lino and Paul were great. They were very professional, clean, and super friendly. They were in and out in under 2 hours and left the place spotless.
Thirty minutes later after they left, it started to rain and our couch would of been ruined. It worked out perfectly!
I highly recommend this company for anyone that needs help with moving larger piece of furniture into smaller apartments.

Outstanding service and communication. Lino and Paul were professional, clean, friendly, and quick. They chopped off the back and one arm of our couch, moved it upstairs, and reassembled in 90 minutes. They used blankets to protect the floors and even swept up after themselves. Amazing service and much cheaper than buying a new couch!

The two guys who came today were awesome! They arrived early and had my sofa moved into my apartment in an hour. It looks like brand new!

I first used Melo and Sons when my couch would not fit into my apartment doorway. They did a great job.
I recently had them reconstruct old leather chairs that were family keepsakes. The chairs look brand new and I will enjoy them for many years to come.
The delivery men were prompt and very friendly and helpful

We just moved into a 3^rd floor apartment from a 1^st floor apartment. Our biggest piece of our sectional wouldn’t fit. I was devastated because I am still paying on it. I called Bernie and Phil because thats who I purchased the furniture from to see if they had any recommendations. They referred me to Melo and sons. I called melo and sons and I couldn’t get an appointment for a week but the nice woman Joanne told me they would call if there were cancelations. She called the very next day and told me they could come on Monday. Yahoo with excitement. Monday came and these two men showed up to work on my couch. (Sorry horrible with names) They were so professional, courtesy and neat. I have never seen a company more professional than melo and sons. They completed the job. My couch looks better than when I first bought it. I would highly recommend this company, and I will be telling everyone I know about their services. Who knew if a couch couldn’t fit you could call a service to make it fit. They cleaned their mess and you couldn’t even tell they were here. Thank you very much for your excellent service. A very satisfied customer!!!

I recently just moved into the third floor of an older house. I think my unit use to be the butlers living area. Anyways, my couch was impossible to get up the stairway and I thought I was doomed and was going to have to sell my new sectional and resort to a futon. Just as I thought there was nothing left, my mom found Melo and sons. They were amazing! Called 30min to give me a heads up, explained what needs to be done and they even cleaned up after. To be honest my couch is in better shape than when I first bought it brand new. I highly recommend!!!

Our sectional couch wouldn’t fit up the stairs in our new apartment and just when all hope was lost, a friend told us about Melo & Sons. I was completely amazed with their service. They carefully disassembled the couch, moved the broken down pieces up the narrow stairway into our new apartment and rebuilt the couch right there in the living room. I wouldn’t have believed it unless I witnessed it myself. I cannot recommend these guys enough.
They’re surgeons, magicians, and super heroes all rolled into one.

Short story: Room & Board sleeper sofa needed to be disassemble to move out of a Somerville apartment with narrow doorways and into an old Arlington house with narrow doorways. Melo & Sons were right on time, and in and out with the whole job done in about 90 minutes. Great guys and great service!
Long story: What a great experience! I knew my couch was going to need to be disassembled to get out of my apartment because the delivery guys needed to do that to get it in. I got instructions from the company, asked the movers I hired if they could do it (they said yes) and thought I was good to go. When the movers got to that part of my move they looked at it all for a while and after about half an hour trying to get the couch out without taking it apart (even though I said it wouldn’t work) they gave up and we had to leave it behind. My realtor recomended a different moving company (Intelligent Labor) who would have been happy to attempt it but said I should check out Melo & Sons because they are the experts. Boy were they! I am so glad I used them and will definitely do so for any future moves!

This was the second time I used them to take apart a couch to get it through the door in a cramped Somerville apartment. This experience was every bit as good as the last. They communicated a time frame, showed up first thing in the morning, and whisked it from Somerville to Quincy where they put it back together good as new. They even encouraged me to take a nap on it when they left!

Same couches, same situation, same great service.
After having Melo and Sons take our couches apart to move into our last condo, we needed them to take them apart again to move them out and into our new house!
They did a wonderful job once again.
Remind me never to buy huge couches again… while they are fantastic, I don’t want to singlehandedly keep Melo and Sons in business!

Having worked in the furniture industry for forty years I can appreciate good workmanship. When I recently engaged the services of Melo and Sons to get part of a sectional upstairs that just wouldn’t fit, they made easy work of it, the furniture is upstairs as sturdy as ever and to look at it one would not believe that it was disassembled and reassembled all done within one hour. You guys are the best.

When I moved into my bachelor pad it took eight guys and a moving truck less than 3 hours to get my stuff out of my old apartment and into the new place. All except for my favorite piece of furniture, the one indispensable piece of furniture that every good bachelor pad needs: my big, overstuffed leather sofa. In spite a combine 80 years of experience playing Tetris, we couldn’t get it up the stairwell. So there it sat awkwardly on the front lawn, like a trailer park patio set. A storm was rolling in and the rental truck needed to be returned. We needed a hero.
Melo & Sons Upholstery to the rescue,
Five years later my wife let me pick one piece of furniture to take with me when I moved out of my bachelor pad and into our marital home. And it’s a good thing too, because I wasn’t leaving without my big, overstuffed leather sofa. Only one thing stood in the way — the laws of physics.
Melo & Sons Upholstery to the rescue, once again.
These guys are heroes. They bend over backwards to make the logistics work for you, they arrive on time, they work quickly and efficiently, and when they leave your furniture is actually better constructed than when they found it. Worth every penny.

These guys do a decent job of taking apart the sofa, but they sure do destroy the bannister and hallway on their way down. Probably their biggest flaw is they won’t give up on a job that just won’t work. They’d rather tear the building down than quit.

Couldn’t be more satisfied — had to get a sofa (sofabed) up three flights of stairs in a building with only a spiral staircase. Oddly enough heard about these guys from my hairdresser. It was disassembled in 30 minutes and probably reassembled in a little longer.
Only complaint is that they left staples everywhere in both my new and old apartment, which I continued to find for a few weeks afterwards, embedded in the carpet (though surprisingly I never got stabbed by one.)

I doubt my review will be as exciting as the Ghostbuster’s remix, but I couldn’t have said it any better: Melo & Sons provides a terrific service.
Basically, couches from Texas don’t mix with apartments from Boston, unless you call Lino and Mike from Melo & Sons. It was a great experience start to finish. The lady in the office who answered our call was super helpful and very informative. When the guys showed up (on time) a few days later, they walked me through the entire process before they began, putting me right at ease. They also explained from the get-​go that there were no hidden fees, no matter how long it took. They took apart our couch and put it back together three floors up in about 30 minutes. They were artists! Our couch has never been stronger or looked better.
Moreover, I’ve had couple bad experiences recently with service providers during our move, but these guys made me believe again that nice people do great business. Being from the neighborhood, the guys were extremely welcoming, even giving us restaurant recommendations.
I can’t stop raving about how good they are. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

Okay, seriously, they are awesome. We live in Back Bay and if you know the brownstones in back bay, its really hard to even get a single chair into the apartment, let alone a pull out king-​sized couch. We bought our couch from Crate & Barrel and they recommended melo & Sons to us, and thank GAWD they did. These guys came in and were complete pros. They picked up the couch from Crate & Barrel, and re-​assembled everything piece by piece, shrink-​wrapped the cushions so that they didn’t get dirty, and even laid down a blanket on the floor so they wouldn’t scratch the wooden floors. When it was time to move again, we called them again because we knew there was no way to get the couch out. They came on one of the hottest days of the summer, broke the couch down, and moved it down 2 flights and up 5 flights of stairs, and put everything back together. The whole time they’re doing this, they are telling me stories, cracking jokes. They were the best! Totally worth the $ 250 it costs. We’ll definitely be using them again!

I recently bought a brand new house
in whose basement should have gone the couch.
But upon seeing the snake-​like stairs,
the movers gave me evil glares,
And in the living room remained the couch.
We moved the furniture around and around,
but the couch and the rest just did not get along.
So Unilocal to the rescue suggested Melo and Sons
And within 40 minutes the deed was done!
If you have any problem, look no further than Unilocal
and if your couch is your problem, Melo and Sons will definitely help.

I just moved into a house which was originally built in the 1890s. The doorways are 23−24″ wide and since we’re renting it from my father-​in-​law (who wants it to stay exactly the way it was when he grew up in it) we’re not allowed to widen anything (windows included, they’re the same size!). But we have a GORGEOUS antique leather couch that we got pretty much for free that won’t fit!
I refused to give up on it and started searching the web to find a way to get the thing inside. There are a ton of businesses that disassemble/​reassemble furniture in NYC, and I contacted a few of those companies to see if they would travel to NH with no luck (one company said they would come up here for $ 2000! No thank you!). Finally one of them suggested I contact upholsterers. So I started looking up upholsterers without a lot of luck there either, since many of them didn’t appear to work with leather or just flat-​out refused to disassemble/​reassemble.
Finally one gentleman agreed to come out and give us an estimate. He said it would cost $ 80/​hour and it would take 12 – 16 hours to do the job!!! :(We sent him away, discouraged. Luckily a day or so later I heard back from JP Upholsterers, who suggested that I call Melo & Sons Upholstery. Well I called them and told them my situation, and without any hesitation at all they scheduled an appointment to come take care of our couch the following week. I was so relieved!!!
They arrived today and promptly got to work without a moment’s delay. It took them less than two hours to pull all the leather off the back of the couch and take it apart. And in doing so they found a car key that I thought I lost years ago! :D The couch was brought inside and reassembled without any problem. They even cleaned it for us! They were extremely professional and friendly and obviously knew what they were doing. I was so impressed! They even told me that the couch is older than I thought (60 years old!) and custom-​made. No wonder I couldn’t find anything else like it online! So for $ 400 our couch (which they estimated to be worth around $ 7000) is now inside our tiny house. I’m SO happy!!! Thanks Melo & Sons!!! :)
