La Paz upholstery shop
I thought I saw some discussion on this earlier but haven't been able to find it searching. We have 2 upholstered chairs that need help. Any
suggestions on a good shop to do the work in La Paz and where the best stores for the material are?

There is a shop right across the street from Soriannas - did a wonderful reupholstery job on our Jeep seats, and I had been recommended to them from
another very happy customer who had furniture reuholstered there as well....Can't remember the name, but you can't miss it....

We have had alot of work done by Vanesa's. A couple of love seats and some palo de arco chairs as well as drapes. They do good work and have tons of
fabrics.
Remember, when in Mexico, yes may be no and no may be
maybe!

Thanks again for the help.
Went to a couple of shops today. WOW! I was shocked. M$6500 to re-cover 2 arm chairs. We decided we'll just buy new chairs.
As for the Jeep Al, didn't have an answer to the first question asked, what model Jeep?

Back in Dec'04, we had the entire interior of our Jeep Cherokee re-done in a strong vinyl material (so as to be easier to keep clean), and that
included front bucket seats, back seat, the flooring as well as one of the door panels. Total cost was 2500 pesos. Times are a'changin'...

My neighbor recently had some done near our neighborhood and said the work was good and reasonable. I'll ask, but he's not home right now. That can't
be right, though. I saw a LaZBoy in Dorian's for M$6900 a few months ago!!

Thanks. We are going to check out 2 more places that we've heard about. The fabric prices seemed quite reasonable at Vanesa's and they have a lot to
choose from. They didn't break down the cost of materials and labor, only the total cost.

IMHO Vanessa's has the highest labor costs in town!! They do have good quality fabrics, but you can find the exact same fabric elsewhere for less.
There are a lot of other shops which are much more reasonable than Vanessas. BMG try the one on the hwy in Chametla right across from all the
segundos (sorry, don't remember the name). I've bought fabric from Vanessa, but done my own upholstery/drapes.

Well, first of all, I don't have a "working" FM3. Second, I'm in the final
stages of finish detail on my new casa & barely can find the time to remember my own name; I think my pets have contacted an adoption agency on
their own! Third, I wouldn't dream of depriving you of the fun of the search!

Second, I'm in the final stages of finish detail on my new casa & barely can find the time to remember my own name >>I'll handwrite you a
stick-on name tag.
I think my pets have contacted an adoption agency on their own >>Too late, the paperwork was approved yesterday and they move next week.
I wouldn't dream of depriving you of the fun of the search >>I've never been very good at games.
When can you get started

Dont go to the one in 5 de Mayo, almost in front of Ley. They told us it would take a week to do our loveseats, and it took overtwo months. We didnt
even bother to pick them up and we bought new ones.

We did use Vanessa's in La Paz a few years back and really liked the end result. A nice bright yellow fabric with a sunscreen-backing for about a
dozen large window roll-downs, with very colorful valances to match. Goes well with the ocean and palm views.
The completed product was fast and not very expensive back then, plus they drove 285 miles to install.
One good thing about today's influx of buyers...there is more competition for your dollar. Shopping around will be worth your time.
