Report
We had a small re-upholstery job of a couple of worn boat cushions from a 20+ year-old boat. Though it took longer than they estimated to finish the job (understandable considering the amount of jobs they had), we were very happy with the end product. The cushions perfectly matched the color and design of the other original cushions in the boat. The vinyl and materials used seem to be of high quality with expert workmanship. If they put this amount of effort and pride in their work for a small job such as they did for us, I can only imagine the amount of tedious detail they would devote to a large

They were amazing! Everything that they said they would do... they did. I was on a waiting list for 4 months and I know why. They do great work! My boat cover fits perfectly and is made of great quality material! Thank you Pam Zimmerman and Paradise Upholstery!

Report
I stopped by the Paradise Upholstery booth at the 2017 boat show in St. Charles, Filled out the paperwork for a custom boat cover. They told me that they would contact me with a date and time to bring my boat to them. After a year of waiting, I bought an aftermarket cover. To this day, I have never heard back from them. It's been nearly 2 years.
