Our Story
The Worley story begins over 50 years ago when a 12-year old boy named Les Worley became an apprentice in his father’s drapery, carpet, and upholstery shop. When Les was 37, he opened his own business and taught his two sons John and Larry how to install carpet, linoleum, hardwood floors and window coverings. In 1980, Les’s wife Carol brought her talents to many areas of the business including interior design and office management, and her sister Helen soon joined the team.
As the business continued to expand, Les Worley purchased Hayward Upholstery and Wells Interiors, and in 1985, master upholsterer Ruben Perez and family members Alex, Juan, and Maria brought their fine craftsmanship to the company. In 2010, Les and Carol opened a 3,800 square foot showroom in Castro Valley and renamed the company Worley’s Home Design Center to better represent the breadth and depth of their business. Today, the Worley family offers thousands of quality products, expert, personalized service and fine craftsmanship, and the business continues to grow by word of mouth and referrals from delighted customers.
When customers visit our showroom for the first time, they’re stunned to discover the breadth and depth of our products and services. After experiencing our friendly, personalized service, extraordinary craftsmanship and attention to detail, they often comment that Worley’s reminds them of the way things used to be. For us, it’s just the way our family has done business for over 58 years, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
