I took four modern 1970 lucite chairs in to be repaired and reupholstered. Other places refused to work on these unusual chairs. Communication was easy and clear. Drop off and pick up was easily scheduled. They were very kind and honored my request for a quick turn-around. The quality of workmanship was incredible. The chairs were tightened and look brand new. The seats received new foam. Rather than doing the job the "cheap way" by folding the fabric, they did it the right way with a crown. The price was very fair. This is "old world" craftsmanship at a reasonable price, by people who take pride in their work. Will definitely use this company again for any of my future needs.

My wife and I have brought 6 pieces of furniture to FBR over the past 5 years. Each piece was handled carefully; the suggestions for restoration were reasonable. and cost was competitive. Several of the furniture pieces were from mid-century homes that were used in the 1920s. One cabinet was dated from the 1880s. In all of our projects with FBR, we have loved the way the furniture was enhanced and returned to use in our San Diego home. Tony's company is the most expert in all aspects of Furniture Build and Renew. His staff are always resourceful and professional.

I have to sing the praises of this company! From the start the communication was excellent. The pricing was fair and clear. The work performed was EXCELLENT. I am so so so happy with what they did with my grandmas China cabinet that was handed down to me. It went from an antique brown walnut wood to this now chic black and gold piece that I'm in love with. I'm a super picky customer and believe customer service is truly being lost in the world overall. This company gives me hope that there are great businesses out there doing great work and who deserve to remain in business forever. If you have a furniture piece you want refurbished and renewed I highly recommend them!!!!!

Kelly & Tony are amazing! Extremely professional, helpful and an amazing quality in everything they do! They got my couch done on time and picked up and delivered it. I can’t speak highly enough of these two amazing people. Look forward to doing more business with them in the future and referring as many people as I can. They deserve it! Thank you so much and you should definitely reach out to them with any needs. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is excellent. Complete refinishing of my antique couch and it came out better than ever!

Great company to work with. I searched for a leather sectional for a couple of years before I decided to try and have our fabric sectional upholstered. I contacted an upholsterer in Lemon Grove, discussed what I wanted, sent him photos, and then nothing. I contacted Furniture Build & Renew soon after. Every aspect of this project was professional, informative, and pleasant. We wanted our ottoman changed into a storage ottoman, but that wasn't possible based on how it was originally built. Instead, Tony offered to build a storage ottoman for an additional cost. We've been enjoying our "new" leather sectional and ottoman for about six months and couldn't be happier.

I brought them a family heirloom that we wanted to refinish in a dark finish, it was in a bleach oak look from the 1980s. They stripped it down and did a fantastic job bringing this piece up-to-date in 2022- 22023. It will continue to be a beautiful piece of furniture long into the future.

Tony at FBR Designs Inc. did a fantastic job refinishing & restoring our damaged 33 year-old pine dining table. It looks beautiful. Their service was great, including Tony, his helper, & the phone support staff. They worked around our schedule for both pick-up & drop-off, & the job was completed quickly. We have sensitivities to chemical smells, so Tony accommodated this by using wax instead of varnish. Highly recommended!

I've recommended Furniture Build & Renew to all my neighbors. AMAZING WORK!I've never had anything reupholstered before, so I was a little –okay, a LOT – hesitant. We are selling our home and our furniture was a bit distressed and we didn't think it would show well. Mind you, these were pieces we loved and it took nearly a year for my husband and I to agree upon. So we had that going, plus finding new replacement furniture that didn't take over 13 weeks to get here because of all the shipping issues due to covid. So I started down the road of trying to find a reputable company to reupholstery two sofas, two chairs, and a headboard. Every interior decorator told us it would be impossible due to all the time delays of fabric, foam, and reupholstery companies. We were about to give up until I found Furniture Build and Renew on the internet. They said they would try to squeeze us in as long as we could get fabric quickly. I'm not sure if all the stars were in alignment that week, but I managed to find a fabric manufacturer up in Los Angeles that had everything I needed in stock. I ordered it over the phone for will-call and drove to pick it up (they have fabric at FB&R to select and order, but I was on a tight time frame). I phoned Furniture Build and Renew to give them the good news and they scheduled my furniture to be picked up. They finished quicker than expected with a quality of work that is jaw dropping. It is better than when we bought the pieces brand new. I shed a few tears at how gorgeous these pieces came out (maybe I'm an emotional person, but they are so good at what they do). I can't thank FB&R enough.We had a ton of offers on our home and I know, without a doubt, it's because the furniture looks so beautiful. We've even had a few people ask to buy the furniture.

Very high quality. This shop charges reasonable prices for the product they offer. You will get the highest finished stitching and materials. And I was able to source my own fabric to my taste. Tony is always busy, but it was worth the wait and the furnished dining chairs looked better than new.

Tony and his team were very responsive and did an excellent job helping to resize my counter stools. I had them back in one day! Thank you Tony!

I highly recommend Tony and his services. I found him on Yelp and based on good reviews I decided to renew and upholster a dining table and chairs and a card table. He did an outstanding job. I couldn't be more thrilled. He is so pleasant to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to use his services
