I have used the Custom Shop for all my recovering of fabric chairs, re-stuffing cushions, curtains and valances, and referral to the right shade/blind store. Custom Shop, with Toni at the helm, does excellent work in all aspects of home decorating.

I am so overwhelmed with gratitude, for the beautiful Uphostery job on my mother’s two couches. The customer service of Toni, Barry, and all the staff was excellent. They talked me through the whole process and explained why the seats needed wrapping (which I initially did not want to do!). The results are stunning, and the service was wonderful. I can’t thank them enough. Here is a before and after photograph.

I was considering reupholstering a sectional and a friend highly recommended The Custom Shop. I stopped in and was greeted immediately. They have so many cool fabrics to choose from and have the 3 models of cushions right there for you to sit on so you can choose the fill that's best for you. They thought of everything! I shared photos and measurements with Toni who explained the process and asked me pointed questions that helped determine what would be needed. She really knows her sh*t! While Mary shared fabric books that contained samples of exactly what I told her I was looking for, Toni efficiently put together my estimate and walked me through it. I was in and out of there in 30 minutes. The price point was almost the same as buying a new sofa but from my research afterward it was pretty much in line with what is expected (I was clueless going in). While I'm not going to do the sectional, I have two other pieces of furniture I do plan to reupholster and will hit them up when I'm ready as I am certain they would do an amazing job. Highly recommend!

I had two chairs reupholstered at the Custom Shop - a club chair with an ottoman and a fan chair. They came out fantastic. The workmanship is superb and I am so pleased with the outcome. Service was excellent. Toni Shapiro and the staff were helpful, knowledgeable and easy to work with. I highly recommend The Custom Shop. You will not be disappointed. Thank you to Toni and staff. Job well done.
