To anyone in need of an excellent finish carpenter I would highly
recommend using Hub Moore. We hired him for a number of projects
during our oh so looong renovation including building 2 large built-
in cabinet/shelf units, installing the new kitchen (stainless steel
cabinets and soapstone counters), and also building an ipe roof deck,
as well as a number of other things. His work is detail oriented and
extremely thorough and he was really good at seamlessly integrating
the new stuff with the existing old mouldings, details, etc. -we were
very impressed with everything he did (we are quite picky!) and he is
really easy to work with as well. His cell is 917-972-4431.
Tell him Ann sent you!

  1. Hi – thanks for the handyman recommendation. I have a wonderful recommendation for a reupholsterer. His name is Andres Vazquez. I’ve been using him for years, and began when his dad, who has since retired owned the business. The name of the business is:

    New Nassau General Reupholstery
    238 Central Avenue
    Brooklyn, NY

    Cell: 917-586-4605
    Business: 718-383-5165

    His work is excellent. You can pick fabric from him, or use your own; Andres will come to your house and estimate how much fabric you will need. Andres and his team will also repair your furniture, if it needs it, and can also replicate any of the cushion designs or recommend what works best. We’ve been using him for years and would never go to anyone else.

  2. My upholsterer was out in NJ and retired, sorry. But people have made recommendations for others here on Forum before. Try and find some upholstery topics in the categories under “Topics” at the top right of the Forum page. Though there isn’t a category for interior design or upholstery or furniture. Maybe it would be filed under decorative or restoration?

  3. Hub is great; we met with him but ended up deciding to buy freestanding bookcases for our basement instead of doing built-ins. But he did our good friends’ place and did a wonderful job. They were thrilled with him.

    Awesome chaise. I have 5 pieces of furniture in our living room that were antiques I had reupholstered in more modern fabrics. It’s a lot of fun and even with the cost of upholstering it’s cheaper than buying new furniture of quality. Plus you just can’t get the same construction in new furniture. Even in the high-end furniture once the upholstery is ripped off and the innards exposed they’re not always constructed so well. My upholsterer was ranting to me about that.
