A couch that will not make the turn in the stairs is the job Melo & Sons gets called for. In an August 2026 Google review, Lino and Michael disassembled a couch, carried it down a tight flight of stairs with a turn and reassembled it, and the customer wrote that Joanne got them in on a last-minute cancellation during the busiest time. Another August 2026 reviewer watched Lino and Paul break down an entire couch, move it into a new house and build it back, and a July 2026 reviewer had a sectional disassembled and rebuilt for a basement move-in. The company says it is a family business established in 1983 in Somerville that recently relocated to Peabody after many years in Salem, and it cites more than 40 years of work. Melo & Sons also repairs sofas. In April 2026 a reviewer wrote that Lino looked at a sagging sleeper sofa, identified needed repairs and put new foam in the cushions, and in March 2026 two workers made a house call to Cape Cod to reach the broken internal parts of a leather sofa arm and replace worn bolts. An October 2024 reviewer said the crew took a couch apart, moved it from a garage and fixed some damage while reassembling it. A January 2024 Reddit commenter in r/boston said Melo and Sons delivered a couch to a fifth-floor walk-up in the North End, taking it apart and assembling it inside, and another commenter in that thread put the cost of this kind of service at about $350. In a November 2021 review, the two techs removed and reattached a door to get a large leather couch through, and the customer said the whole process took about an hour. In a September 2025 one-star Google review, a repeat customer wrote that the "owner" told the helper, Mike, to stop smoothing bunched fabric, threatened to walk out, and kept speaking aggressively for about 15 minutes until he stormed out; the reviewer wrote that Mike apologized as he was leaving.
“they officially work with Melo & Sons upholstery for their furniture breakdowns.”
“I lived in a 5th floor walk up in the north end and used Melo and Sons to deliver the couch. They take it apart and then assemble it inside the apartment and you’d never know it when they are done. Great customer service too. I think I’ve used them 3x now.”
“I've used Melo and Sons twice for this and they did a great job.”
“you can hire an upholstery firm like Melo and Sons to take apart the upholstery and assemble it upstairs, but this usually runs $350 or so.”
“Melo and Sons (upholsterers but will take it apart, move it, put it back together)”
I’ve worked with Melo & Sons twice, and both times they were fantastic! Working with them is like having a kind, handy neighbor come over to help when you need them most. I needed to have a couch dissembled, moved down a tight flight of stairs with a turn, and reassembled. Scheduling with Joanne was so lovely on the phone, even when they didn’t have availability right away, she managed to get me in when a last minute cancellation came up during their busiest time. Lino and Michael arrived exactly on time, and were both extremely efficient and wonderfully friendly. The entire process was so easy and made me feel so cared for. Highly recommend!
We recently had a couch that was too big to put in our new house and i was told to call them and they were able to break down the entire couch and then move it in and then build the whole thing back in our new home. It was an incredible thing to watch and amazing that they were able to do it quickly and efficiently. The guys, Lino and Paul, were so friendly and helpful and so knowledgeable about the whole process. Also the lady over the phone Joanne, was also so sweet which made the whole process seamless. 10/10 Service!!!! Hopefully i wont need to do it again but if i did id call them up so fast!
Amazing service, disassembled and rebuilt my sectional for a basement move-in.
I cannot recommend Melo & Sons more highly. Many years ago I bought a sleeper sofa from Boston Interiors for a not cheap price. Unfortunately, it began to sag not very long into its life. I put up with it for a long time until I couldn't stand it anymore. I found Melo & Sons on a Google search. Lino came out, looked at the couch, identified needed repairs along with the new foam in the cushions. I was only asking for the cushions to be re-stuffed but he went above and beyond and has given me a couch that will last a long, long time. Shame on Boston Interiors for their lack of quality but all praise to Lino and Melo & Sons!
Wow, what an amazing company!! Their customer service is second to none! We had an oversized couch that we could not get into our basement and they performed surgery on it with ease, moved it into our basement, and put it back together in better shape than it was original from the factory! The people who came to our home explained everything in great detail and did everything perfectly. Can’t say enough…it’s been a long time since I’ve seen this level of amazing customer service from any company. I’d go 6 stars if that was a thing!
