Just wanted to show off my newly covered seat. David at Carey's Custom Seats in Burleson knocked this recover job out in no time and did a fantastic job. I recommend him for any of your upholstery needs...pm me if you need his contact info

Nice work! This place has a great reputation.

Did he have to do any repairs to foam or springs? What does he charge for a job like that?

chuck3026 · 01-31-2011, 07:45 PM

Well, he provided the shell as well so that cost was rolled into it. He refoamed it along with the recover, and gave me the seat for $300 out the door. It's a vinyl that looks like leather but a bit more durable. It's a super tight covering. He didn't leave any slack. David also does amazing work on motorcycle seats and lots more. I think it was a deal

Nice straight pleats, and seams. Does he do french seems too?

chuck3026 · 01-31-2011, 07:59 PM

I'm sure he does. He has some really creative bike seats. I'm going to have him cover my door panels as well to match my seats too.

hot trux · 01-31-2011, 08:01 PM

wow he does great work!! nice.

Sammy · 01-31-2011, 07:59 PM

Around my local area that is close to the same price for a bench redo.(300-350) Looks like quality workmanship too. Buckets require more work and run close to double that for custom work.

Sammy · 01-31-2011, 08:05 PM

These are some door panels I had done. They would almost match your seat. But they match mine too.

chuck3026 · 01-31-2011, 08:23 PM

Those are wicked...really nice seat too. My truck is on a $5000 budget and I'm $4500 in so far...I hate to but time to skimp. It's killin me

**lolife99** · 02-01-2011, 01:03 PM

Beautiful truck seat!
Any other pictures of his work?

OhOneWS6 · 01-31-2011, 08:58 PM

Looks great. Does he do boats? I need interior in my 76 SleekCraft Ambassador jet boat. PM me his info.

CG · 01-31-2011, 09:19 PM

Your guy does very nice work. Looks to be no puckers along the edges at all. I see a lot of newly done seats here on the board that really look great except for some puckering (not sure if thats the right word), some guys say those will go away with time but Ive never seen anyone post a pic up showing what they look like after they have tightened up.

Wish I was closer, Im looking to have a split bench recovered that wont cost me two arms and a leg and I know the quality will be there (something for nothing lol).
