I have so many good things to say about Louis and his team, I don't even know where to start! - First off, Louis' communication was beyond expectation -- he was extremely responsive and professional. Both on Yelp and via text / call - Second, he offers scheduled pick up and drop off for your furniture which all the other companies I looked at did not offer - He has a great, creative eye for design and worked with me and my fiancé to find the perfect fabric for our chairs - Louis offers an extremely wide range of high quality fabrics and materials to choose from (you will be sure to find exactly what you need -- and Louis was happy to coach us through the process) - He also has really great and flexible hours to accommodate even the busiest professionals (evenings + Saturdays) - Lastly, and most importantly, is the quality of his work! He took 15+ year old chairs and made them look brand new (even better than the original if I'm being honest!). We know we are going to get decades more out of these chairs because of the quality and care Louis put into his work. OH! And the price was extremely competitive and reasonable based on the other quotes I received. I'm sure I'm leaving out something, but I'll leave with this: we could not be more happy with our newly upholstered chairs -- we've already received countless compliments and we will absolutely be going back to Louis for any of our upholstery needs. Thanks again for everything, Louis!! read more

Great experience and quality work! Our dog decided to enjoy the arms of matching wing chairs, and I was undecided what to do. We've had the chairs for 10 years, but the are good quality (Room & Board) and lightly used. I initially planned on having arm covers made, and was still able to get the fabric from R&B. However after looking at them, Louis said he could simply replace one panel on each chair. It costs a bit more than the arm covers, but so glad I went this route. They look brand new again. And the picked them up and delivered them! Highly recommend! read more

My 6 dining chairs were beautifully and skillfully reupholstered. He was able to center the design on all chairs. I highly recommend him.

Louis is the BEST!!! Highly recommend for any upholstery needs.

Lily and Louis did work on a pair of armchairs that, more of less, had to be completely rebuilt outside the frames- the fabric, springs and supports were all rusted and ruined. They provided a reasonable quote, helped us choose the fabric from their large selection and picked up the chairs when they were ready to work on them. The work was, to say the least, superb. They turned out more beautifully than I could have imagined and their attention to detail was spectacular. they gave some old chairs a new life, and I'm so glad I used them for this project. Highly recommend! read more

I have never hired anyone to fix furniture before, so I relied on Yelp as well as the great vibe I got from speaking to Louis and from looking at his website. I felt confident I would receive a returned chair that would make me happy in realizing I did a cool thing by keeping this piece. I think it's a classic and now it looks like one again instead of an older chair past it's prime. It's revived! Kudos to this lovely company. read more

Had a great experience with Louis Custom Upholstery.

I can't express enough how great was the service I received. I had six dining room chairs that needed to be reupholstered. Louis picked up the chairs at my apartment. He was ontime, thoughtful, and very careful with the chairs. The price to have the work done was much less than that quoted by a shop recommended by a decorator. The job was completed within a few weeks. The workmanship was impeccable. A week after I received the chairs, a guest damaged the fabric on one. Louis picked up the chair. He found that only minimal work was required to repair the damage. He returned the chair and refused payment. He is a class act. read more

I finally decided to reupholster my dining chairs and after doing some research I came across Louis Custom Upholstery. All I can say is wow and thank you.

And top it off, Louis and his wife are really nice people. Thanks again! read more

I bought a piece of table cloth from Turkey and asked Louis to make a cushion out if it. The yardage was barely enough and Louis managed to even match the pattern on the side! An absolutely beautiful job done by him. Please see the pictures. Because he did such beautiful job, I asked him to do some uphostery for my dinning room chairs. He helped me to choose the fabric and they turned out fantastic!!! Thanks a lot Louis!!! read more

The work of this shop is exemplary! Luis And Co reupholstered a chair for my bedroom. Custom made in the early 90s in North Carolina, this cherry-legged, quality piece withstood cat and smoke damage. I had waited years have it reupholstered, anxious it could never be what it once was. Decor changes in my apartment made me finally consider it. I provided this fabric and the shop picked up and delivered the chair within the promised 2 weeks. I'd be hard pressed to find any work that comes close to the beautiful results. The photos on social media caused quite a stir. Do not hesitate to engage their services. read more

Had an office chair in desperate need of reupholstering. Louis spent time asking questions before working. They also had tons of fabrics to choose from. He beat his estimated time of three weeks. The chair came back to us in amazing condition and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The fabric is amazing as well. I've got another chair that needs work and I certainly know who to bring it to. read more

Fantastic job at a reasonable price! My bench was turned around very quickly. Also, there were some nuances to the task and they were very communicative throughout with attn to the smallest detail. I highly recommend and would definitely use their services again. read more

Louis helped me to reupholster a couch and dining room chair cushions. He responded right away, helped me pick our fabrics that were gorgeous, but also good for a family of 5 with 2 dogs. The pieces turned out so much better than I ever imagined. My only regret was not reupholstering them sooner. Louis was so wonderful to work with, and I can not recommend him enough! read more

I used Louis Custom Upholstery to re-upholster a chair that was pretty old, with cushions were worn down and sagging. He and his team took the same design and, with fabric I selected, did a fantastic job replacing the cushions and recovering it, after minimal instruction on my end. They even redid the buttons. I'm delighted with the finished product. read more

Louis Custom Upholstery - Chair - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The cushions on my sofa and a matching small chair were really saggy, but I loved both furniture pieces. I called and because I am close by, they were able to pick up all the cushions on a Sat. and deliver the refurbished cushions on Wednesday. I can't believe the difference!! All the cushions now have premium foam, and look perfect. The workmanship is excellent, and the customer service was outstanding. It was all done before I knew it. I will gladly recommend Louis Customer Upholstery to my friends. I'm so pleased!! read more

Louis was an absolute pleasure to work with! Our couch would not fit up the stairs when it was delivered and he did a FANTASTIC job of reconstructing it after cutting the piece in 2 and putting it back together in our living room. I HIGHLY recommend his work and his craftsmanship is perfect. What a life saver after an unfortunate circumstance. read more

Louis Custom Upholstery - Couch - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My living room chairs and ottomans were looking pretty shabby, but I couldn't find any new ones that I really liked so I thought why not get them reupholstered. A friend recommended Louis Custom Upholstering on N. Damen Ave. I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out. Louis and Lily did a great job from helping to pick the fabric, making some suggestions and getting the work done on time. I requested that they change several features in the upholstery which they willingly did and the results were better than what was on the original chairs. They estimated a two week turn-around and they were finished just within two weeks. I highly recommend them. read more

We used Louis Custom Upholstery for a set of chair cushions, and could not have been happier with the outcome! They were, by far, the most affordable option we found, and so quick with the work they did. The closest competitor estimate was $100 more and 2 weeks longer on the time frame. The final product was more than we could have imagined, and they communicated with me throughout the process, helping me find ways to keep the price down while also getting the best results possible. My grandparents mid-century modern chair looks like new. I will be using them again! read more

I love my couch but the cushions were getting too soft. I called Louis Custom Upholstery for a quote and timeframe. They called me back later that morning. They gave me a price and 3 day turn around. I brought the cushions to them and mentioned an irregular spot in the fabric (very noticeable so I could only use one side) on the off chance Louis would have a solution. In less than 48 hours the cushions were finished. When I got them home I remembered to look for the irregularity and it was gone! The cushions are super firm (just like when I bought the couch) and I couldn't be happier. On a side note, the estimate was more than I had anticipated (I did not get a 2nd estimate so I have no comparison) but relatively inexpensive when I consider buying a replacement for something I already love. Also, Louis and Lily (?) were so personable and kind, the type of people that are instantly trustworthy. Give them your business, you won't be sorry. read more
