How we score

Rating is each business’s live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually left a review, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, and recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these upholstery services?

We compared upholstery services in New York using real Google ratings, review counts and what customers say in their reviews, then ranked them on that public data.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in August 2026 and is refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

What’s the difference between upholstery cleaning and reupholstery?

Cleaning refreshes existing fabric without replacing it, while reupholstery replaces the fabric and padding entirely. PowerGreen specialises in cleaning; the other businesses on this page focus on reupholstery.

Where can I get an antique chair restored in New York?

J&C Custom Upholstery in Brooklyn has a strong track record with detailed antique restoration, including curved and vintage furniture.

The bottom line

J&C Custom Upholstery is the safest default for a full reupholstery job, backed by the deepest review history on this page. If your furniture just needs a deep clean rather than new fabric, PowerGreen’s perfect rating makes it the clear choice.
