Welcome to Reupholstery.li, the Long Island web site of CLS Custom Upholsterers & Design Center.

It was 1945, the post-war "Baby Boomer" era. Michael "Pop" Catalano married and started a family. He began building and upholstering furniture. In the 60's son Sandy came aboard  and in the 70's sons Jim & Ray joined the team. More recent years have brought the third generation of Catalanos to CLS, Sandy's sons Michael and Patrick. Both started in the business as teenagers some 20-plus years ago and are now sharing their experience and knowledge with 21st century families and homeowners.

While technologies have changed throughout the generations, dedication to detail, expert craftsmanship and quick service have remained constant.  Our workshop contains all of the specialized work benches and the craftsmen to complete the reupholstering process, from fabric cutting and sewing to the total reconstruction of a sofa or sectional.  It's an amazing transformation as antique furniture is restored to its original condition.

 
CLS and The Catalano Family takes pride in being a leader in the reupholstery and custom made furniture industry. We are the first name in furniture reupholstery, in Manhattan and throughout the five boroughs and Long Island.  To be entrusted with the responsibility to reupholster Grandma's antique sofa, or any piece of heirloom furniture, is something the Catalanos fully understand, respect and it is not taken lightly.

For over 64 years, the integrity of the Catalano name has withstood the test of time. Not just a typical furniture factory, the CLS facility is specially designed for our craftsmen to do what they do best - creating handmade furniture or restoring beloved family heirlooms to their original condition.Reupholstery customers can "have it their way," from shape and style to cushion density. Next comes the fabric, personally chosen by the customer from a virtually unlimited selection. From this point, and often within 10 days of fabric approval, that old, worn, uncomfortable and unattractive sofa or chair is delivered back to you looking and feeling brand new, courtesy of the #1 Long Island reupholsterer!
