I do not usually post comments on company websites; however, in this case I feel compelled to do so and whole heartedly recommend United Decorators. Having just gone through this process myself I know it is hard to discern authentic recommendations from “fake news” – it seems to be a growing national malady. That’s why I hope this can be of help to the next reader. Because of the site’s recommendations from long term customers I was more interested in this company and then, after speaking with Paul, I felt ready to commit. It’s a relatively small job (a living room chair and 2 new throws) but critical in the redesign of my apartment to fit a beautiful Moroccan rug I just brought back from my travels. Paul answered all my questions and design concerns throughout as I selected my own fabrics independently. His price is within the reasonable range of the market and guaranteed that there would be no price surprises, as another upholsterer had done with me. They delivered the furniture early and it is gorgeous! Exactly as I’d envisioned it and I felt like I had someone to guide me throughout the process. I will certainly go back to United Decorators for my next project and refer him.

After seeing their ad in your magazine - every edition - I made a call. My number taken, my call would be returned. "Paul" returned my call the following day, saying he'd be out of town for a period and would call again on his return. He did so - I thought a good sign. Mumbled his name, took down (maybe) my information, assumed it was in Bklyn; no, in Queens. Set a time for a Sunday between 11am and mid-afternoon. Never showed up. (I had agreed to the day/times, of course, but had still changed plans to accommodate.) Waited all day; called their number/left a message "is he interested in doing business with me?" NEVER received any reply. His company is advertised in your magazine every time - and if this is truly an example of a top performer, well, let's just say there are many other ways of finding top professionals. The upholsterer I found on my own has proven to be professional and excellent.

Response from United Decorators
Dear Mrs. Daudier Thank you for taking out the time to post a review. We have been in business for over 40 years, and love what we do, as is visible by the number of A reviews we have received. What happened here was a miscommunication. It was a time when we were experiencing many problems with our phone service, as well as our answering service.. I regret that you felt we ignored you. I am glad that you found someone to do the work, and are satisfied.

Paul was fantastic from start to finish. He came to our home a couple of weeks ago with curtain swatches for our living room. He was extremely kind and patient in helping us select a beautiful set of drapes. Both the design and fabric were of exceptional quality and were fully lined. The installers were also very professional and did a wonderful job. They even swept the floor when they were done! We could not be more pleased with the product and quality of work. Paul is a very ethical gentleman and consummate professional. I would recommend United Decorators to anyone and would definitely work with Paul again.

Paul came to our house for a free consultation and brought an array of material samples. He was very professional, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. Once we decided on the material, we set a pickup date. The crew that retrieved and delivered the furniture were extremely courteous. The craftsmanship was exceptional the pictures don't do it justice. There was one small glitch, the throw pillow wasn't delivered when they brought the lounge chair and ottomans. I called Paul and he apologized for the small mishap. He made an additional pillow and sent us two. I would definitely recommend and use this company again.

See above for all the details. Nothing else to add.
Description of Work: I contacted Paul's company among others for an estimate on reupholstering an old sentimental couch and six chair seats. What cemented it for me to deal with Paul is how prepared he was. For instance he arrived with various fabric samples and I conveniently selected what I wanted. I appreciate Paul's professionalism and helpfulness throwing in some courtesies and freebies here and there. I also received discount for being an Angie's list member. The best part about this experience is that Paul under commits and over delivers. He explained everything will be done in 4 weeks. However two weeks later my remarkably, beautiful finished pieces were delivered. Just in time for guests that I am expecting early August. I wil definitely be using his service again for window treatments.

I was able to select a beautiful, unusual pattern from Paul's many samples. I also received a fabric discount for being an Angie's List member, and Paul added on free retouching on the chairs. Although there was an initial miscommunication about the fabric choice, Paul fixed the problem free of charge, and delivered us chairs that we are proud to have in our dining room. They look even better than I imagined they would.
Description of Work: They reupholstered 8 dining room chairs that were 30+ years old, and had almost non-existent padding.

Very smooth and professional; only challenge was that, despite an absolute ocean of sample fabrics, we were not able to find a match/close complement to our original upholstery. Fine work, have worked with Paul more than once and have referred to friends, neighbors to universal praise. Total pro, can recommend without hesitation (but if you want a specific fabric, you might want to track it down on your own -- I did this at a fabric source on Lower East Side and Paul charged us only for the work, as we provided materials).

Paul is a real professional. His workers (whom I had called to replace all the batteries on the other shades, as I can't deal with batteries) preliminarily measured the windows, and then Paul came to double-check the measurements and review the installation with me before ordering the custom shades. Three weeks later, the shades arrived, and he immediately sent out one of his staff to install them, which was quickly and efficiently done. They are high quality and work perfectly.
Description of Work: I had two large motorized shades (one covering two windows, one three) in my study, matching the shades UD had installed in my kitchen, living room, and dining room two years ago.

I was fortunate to walk by United Decorators shop a few years ago. From draperies and cornices to cushions and a custom upholstered headboard, their work is superb, their quality top notch. Paul knows his business and will guide you through the process of deciding and selecting, whether you know what you want or need suggestions. It is always a pleasure to work with him. As well, his workmen and installers are professional and polite. It was my lucky break when I decided to walk into the United Decorators shop that day.

I CALLED TO INQUIRE IF UNITED DECORATORS WOULD COME TO MY HOUSE WITH FABRIC SAMPLES AND TO ALSO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE. WITHIN 3 DAYS (11/13/16) PAUL ARRIVED PROMPTLY WITH THE SAMPLE BOOKS. HE GAVE ME THE PRICE, INCLUDING A 20% ANGIE'S LIST FABRIC DISCOUNT. HE SAID HE WOULD LET ME KNOW IF THE JOB COULD BE DONE BY THANKSGIVING (11/24). WE ARRANGED A DATE FOR THE CHAIRS TO BE PICKED UP PROMPTLY. ON 11/18/16 THE CHAIRS WERE DELIVERED BACK TO THE HOUSE. THE SEATS AND NEW FOAM LOOKED AND FELT GREAT: EXCELLENT TIMING AND WORKMANSHIP.

Paul was as gracious and responsive as he was the first time we work together. In fact he was as pleased as I that we were working together again, and went very much out of his way to make the experience pleasant and easy. Any glitches along the way (finding samples, ordering and purchasing the fabric, it's delivery,) Paul dealt with immediately, and graciously. When I had some trouble working the blinds' lowering mechanism, he offered to send out a service personnel, and in fact offered to come over himself in order to show us how to work the mechanism. We are especially pleased with the upholstery work: Not only do the chairs look beautiful, but all three of them are now much more comfortable. Paul took careful stock of each piece's original condition, added extra padding where necessary, at no extra charge, to make our chairs better than they've ever been. We had had one of the chairs reupholstered in the past by a "skilled" upholsterer, who could not remedy its sagging Springs. We almost through the chair out. During the upholstery service with United decorators, the chair came back better than brand-new, and is now the most comfortable chair in our home. In short, if I have any future need of blinds or reupholstery, I feel lucky to know that I can call on United decorators. I couldn't recommend them more highly.
Description of Work: This is the second time we have worked with United decorators – the first was for blinds only, and we were extremely pleased with how they turned out. When we moved, I went back to Angie's list to find an upholsterer and read the rave reviews for United Decorators' work for this service as well. Since I had had such a good experience with them five years ago I decided to call them again for both our new window shades and the reupholstery of three chairs.
