We called CLS Custom Upholsterers after searching for new living room furniture and not finding what we liked. Mike came over and showed me pictures of their work, explained that they are a family owned business and have been around for multi-generations. We priced out what it would cost to covert our living room sofa, love seat (in microsuede) and leather ottoman into a full leather living room - which came out too costly. Mike showed us vegan leather and I picked out colors that went with my current color scheme. After 8 weeks, my husband and I have a completely transformed living space and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. The furniture came 1,000% back better than the day we purchased from the original manufacturer. They put coils and springs in the base so the furniture is firm and supportive and the vegan leather is hundreds of thousands of times STRONGER than actual leather. Mike told us when we hired his family business that the furniture will last our lifetime. Seeing the end product, I dont doubt that for a second.
My experience with CLS was exceptional from start to finish. Mike helped me get started on my quest for the perfect fabric to recover my furniture. Tina and AnneMarie were always helpful and responsive along the way. It took me a while to find exactly what I was looking for and I found searching online to be more helpful than searching in the showroom. I ordered several samples and had them sent directly to my home so I could see the fabric in the correct light of the room. Once that was done, the pick up and delivery was seamless and a quick turn around. Their pick up and delivery teams were also professional and handled our furniture with care. The prices at CLS are a bit higher than other upholsterers but in this case, you get what you pay for as the craftsmanship is superior. I am extremely pleased with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CLS!
Absolutely the best place to reupholster anything. My couch is huge! They came and picked it up, and brought it back six weeks later, looking like a brand new couch. They do absolutely amazing work, there is nothing to worry about here. They work with you, answer their phones, and address any concerns you may have. I recommend them without hesitation.
This furniture was originally a cherry wood similar to the inside of the drawers. It was well worn and shabby looking from years of use. I wanted it darker and much of the redness diminished. The stain master Eddie G and I met and we decided on this color. I love the finished product. It looks exquisite, like brand new. Everyone at CLS were so professional,and, when I first and saw where the furniture restoration was done I could see how committed and proud of their work all the employees are. They should be. They made this lady very happy with their craftsmanship. Even the furniture movers treated my furniture like it was their own, and, were so careful moving it. I give this company 5 stars.
We contacted CLS as they are local. The lady who answered my inquires to the delivery men to the technician, we could not have been I better hands. As the saying goes...the service was perfect perfect from soup to nuts. Very skilled and professional. Our biggest problem was choosing what color and type of fabric for our chairs. We highly recommend these professionals.
My interaction with CLS to reupholster my sofa was A plus from beginning to end and I don’t say this lightly. The entire staff I dealt with were professional and responsive. The quality of the workmanship top notch. They promised to return my sofa in 14 days. They delivered it in 13 days (early delivery....unheard of!!). I recommend CLS very highly.
We have used CLS many times. We had them rehab old wicker furniture which was in horrible shape. All of the pieces came out like new. We have also had them make new seat cushions for our outdoor furniture. The cushions fit perfectly and look great. The quality of their work is amazing, and they are always extremely courteous. I highly recommend this company. They do great work, and they treat their customers well.
We had six dining room chairs refinished. They were sanded, re-stained, re-cushioned, new fabric for the seats and backs of the chairs. I can say that the work is beyond perfect. The craftsmanship is completely top shelf. I can go on but suffice it to say, if you want quality work, dont even look elsewhere. If you want the best craftsmanship, go to Catalano!!
A very professional business. The work they do is amazing. We got a mini tour of the behind the scenes workmanship that goes into everything they repair or create. The custom repairs are mind blowing. It is definitely a lost art.I needed 6 chair seats to be recovered, the cost was more than the chairs so not worth it to me, but if I need an heirloom or cherished piece to be redone, I am definitely bringing it here.
Just wanted to express our sincere thanks to the Catalano family for guiding us through the reupholstery process of our 6 dining room chairs. From the moment we entered your facility, we knew we were in good hands. We appreciated your support and guidance with our fabric choice and the skilled craftsmanship of the finished product. We absolutely love our new chairs which were delivered as promised before the Thanksgiving holiday. Family members who recently gathered at our home were impressed with the new chairs, especially the quality of the fabric and cushions. We are so happy with our chairs and will definitely recommend CLS to friends and family!Janine and Don P.Miller Place
We loved our 23 year old Ikea couch but the fabric had become worn out and torn.I contacted CLS and an appointment was set.On the appointed day, Ray arrived promptly. He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He assessed my couch and showed me some fabrics that would complement my furnishings.My couch was taken away, then returned about 5 weeks later, looking as though it came from a luxurious furniture store.Ray and the crew at CLS did a magnificent job!My couch is now the most comfortable centerpiece in my living room. Two wooden antique chairs were also reglued and polished up and look stunning!
I can’t say enough about the service and workmanship CLS provided in reupholstering two 25 year old 98” Key City camelback sofas. After spending time in the showroom selecting fabric samples, Mike Catalano (3rd generation) brought them and other samples to our house for a consultation. While not the lowest estimate we received, the depth of knowledge and understanding of the business he displayed convinced us to use their services. We were not disappointed. Our sofas returned after 4 weeks in better condition than when they were new! Springs and cushions were firm and tight. Upholstery work was very detailed, down to the pleating and welting just like the original. Exposed wood was sanded and restained. Plus we unexpectedly got 4 matching pillows. Overall, a very high quality job and we’re extremely happy with the finished product.
Recently had a 45 year old coffee table and end table refinished, was a little shocked with the estimate but boy was I happy with the finished product. They were beautiful. You differently get what you pay for. We have one more end table that needs refinished. Definitely having this one also done there. Thank you to everyone at CLS Custom Upholstery.
Professional, courteous and extremely experienced. I entrusted CLS with an antique table and chair set, and was amazed at the transformation of both! The restoration of the chairs and table brought them back to their original magnificence and the upholstery was perfectly tailored and symmetrical. I would highly recommend CLS!
Was more expensive than others, but was well worth the cost. Pick up and delivery of items was super convenient. Had dining room chairs recaned and seats recovered, had an antique dresser and mirror refinished, had a 100 year old oak table repaired and refinished and had an antique living room chair repaired and reupholstered. Each project one year apart...kept going back. Very satisfied.
We have had three major upholstery projects done by the Catalano family in the past fifteen years. Their work, attention to detail, and professionalism are the reasons we return to them every time. There is no question about comparison shopping. CLS is sure to produce high quality results so we look nowhere else. Kudos to Mike and Pat and all of the staff who do wonders with beautiful fabrics! Thank you!
My sofa looks amazing such that friends thought it was new. Mike was amazing with picking out the color and fabric I needed. CLS has high standards of workmanship, customer service and white glove delivery. Visit the showroom and take a tour of how its done. Love you guys!
I am writing this message to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding service from beginning to end. I was in static when I seen my fathers trunk was being delivered on January 30, 2020 at 7:30 a.m. in the morning. When it came up my stairs I could not believe it was the same trunk I brought to be restored. The workmanship was a 5 star rating.I immediately put pictures on Facebook and got 31 thumbs up and 17 Hearts in matters of seconds. Everybody told me it was a beautiful keepsake and a beautiful job. Two people wanted to buy it. I have to say Thank You Eddie and Mike for taking such good care of my fathers trunk and all who help make this job a success.Angela JohnsonStaten Island, New York
We have been making varieties of leather works, upholstery and cushions for our projects on a regular basis with Pat (CLS Upholstery). 100% dependable, fineness and most importantly turnaround time never failed, even with our extreme rush jobs. We would recommend CLS to everyone... be it for small household or large commercial purposes.
From beginning to the process went smoothly! We had great choices of materials to choose from! The end product is unbelievable. My Chairs look amazing. Job very Well done. They even delivered a day earlier then planned. Very professional.....From the Customer salesperson to the delivery guys!Very satisfied customer!
I will never do business or recommend this company again. Several years back we had a very good experience, and had a very expensive job done. We recommended friends after that. We recently called back for additional work and had a horrible experience. An employee named Marissa has no concept of customer service whatsoever. She is both rude and condescending - and for no good reason other than her apparent dislike for work. The owner is living in the past and refuses to understand how people want to do business today. Not only is this a dying industry in todays world, but this company must be on its way down.

2021-08-21CLS we’re great. We inherited some beautiful and incredibly comfortable but v worn chairs and didn’t want to throw them. We wanted to take a chance with the fabric and Mike helped us source a fabric much more reasonable than the one we’d found and took us on the journey as they transformed and reworked the chairs. We love them and loved the whole experience!

2022-02-04CLS Custom Upholsterers has been in business for 77 years...that alone, says so much about them. In addition to this fact, this is a FAMILY owned, and operated, LOCAL business. Their customer service, as well as their workmanship, are both quite remarkable. Mike, a member of the family, came to our home, and helped us select the perfect fabrics to reupholster our living room sectional and two side chairs. They were delivered just a week ago, and we couldnt be happier. So happy, in fact, that we contacted Mike, a day or two after the living room furniture was delivered, to come again with fabric samples for our dining room chairs!! Again, delighted with the fabric selections he helped us make, and loved the ability to see the fabrics in our home, rather than searching through catalogs on our own. If you are considering reupholstering your furniture, we highly recommend them...we have been delighted with their service!!

2021-08-30The very best on Long Island…Wish I could give this family owned business 10 stars! My recent experience with CLS Custom Upholstery was over the top excellent! They redid my tremendous Thomasville sectional as well as an oversized Thomasville chair and ottoman. To be perfectly honest, the craftsmanship of CLS Custom Upholstery puts Thomasville to shame! Ray Catalano came to my house in early May with tons of fabric samples based on the color scheme I told him I was changing to. Trust Ray, he has quite an eye for coordinating fabrics to your needs. He’s been in this business for many years. He is a people person! His expertise helped guide me to making the perfect choices for the couch, chair, and coordinating throw pillows. His men came 5 days later to carefully remove the furniture. In the interim we repainted and installed new carpeting. About 3 weeks later, the reupholstered work was complete and they delivered it back to my home and placed it exactly where I wanted it. I love, love, love it! My furniture is better than new! Their workmanship is truly top notch. Their communication with me was spot on. They are perfectionists, and it shows. There’s a solid reason they’ve been around so long, and it’s called QUALITY.Update: yet another beautiful job from CLS Custom Upholstery . First photo is a before shot, the next three are after shots. Thank you, again CLS!

2022-06-17I loved my couches and had them for over 25 years but I moved and they just didnt go with my new decor. I struggled with buying new or re-upholstering them. After seeing the work CLS did for my brother the decision was easy! They brought me a few samples of fabric after explaining what I was looking for, picked exactly what I wanted and I now have two brand new, custom made couches that I LOVE. AND, they gave me a loaner couch while waiting for mine to be completed - STRONGLY recommend CLS - Thank you!

2022-01-25CLS re-covered our couch and loveseat. They did absolutely beautiful work! They helped us to choose fabrics and finished the work on time. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and professional. They welcomed us to their shop to try out the new cushions they were using, to be sure we would be happy.

2021-11-15In 2004, while living on Long Island, CLS Custom Upholsterers made slipcovers for our new Ethan Allen sectional. White brushed denim, they have worn like iron all these years, and they still look great after having been washed in hot water and chlorine bleach at least 40 times! And they just survived another move as we recently downsized to a townhome. I do the couch cushions myself in my washing machine and send the backs out to a cleaner.I cant praise this family-owned company enough, from the time and care that was taken in measuring our couches, to the quality of workmanship, to the timely delivery before our move to Florida, and the incredible caring and efficient staff. They are the very BEST! A special shoutout to owner Mike Catalano!!!

2022-04-08From my first phone contact with CLS Custom last month until our beautifully restored furniture was delivered this week, we couldn’t have been more pleased. I had a name-brand six year old sofa and chaise that had not held up well under gentle use. But the size and shape were perfect for our living room and we did not want to have to start the shopping process again. We also had a 16-year old upholstered chair that had faded from being next to a window in direct sunlight. I spoke with Mike Catalano at length and felt totally comfortable making an appointment for him to come to our home to assess what could be done with our furniture. Mike was extremely knowledgeable, explained what had caused the problems with the sofa and offered the perfect solution of rebuilding it from the frame and springs out. Knowing that CLS is a family-owned business in operation for 77 years gave us confidence to go with Mike’s recommendations. We discussed our color preferences and he went out to his van and returned with three fabric books in our preferred color pallet — no need to sort through colors that did not interest us. He helped us coordinate the fabrics for the sofa and chair with our existing color scheme. In addition, and perhaps most importantly, he made suggestions for modifications that would enhance the look of the pieces as well as incorporating our requested changes.With thanks to Mike and to Tina in the office, the process was a pleasure from start to finish. I have already recommended CLS to someone who has gone on to have work done by them and will happily continue to recommend CLS for their professional and excellent work!
