Larry Schneider, owner of Homestyle Custom Upholstery, started doing upholstery in 1973. After attending MATC Upholstery School, he then worked for a few shops in the Milwaukee area. He made the decision to open his own business in 1983, our first location was a 3500 square foot building on 27th Street and Ryan Road in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. Being very happy there, but due to expansion of the business, relocation was necessary. The move to 2059 S. Allis Street in Bay View, Wisconsin was made in May of 2008. With five full time employees, it's a bustling place! Cal Swartz worked at Homestyle from 1983 to 1988 and returned in 2008 after working at Midwest express in aircraft maintenance.
Craig Wartner, who has over twenty years experience in the awning trade, joined Homestyle in 2004. Ray Morones started upholstery in 1964 via vocational school and moved up to rustic furniture at Commercial Forest CO. in Walworth, WI. In 2005 Ray joined us at Homestyle. Bob Lambrecht joined our Awning division in 2007
When the shop was opened in 1983, it was just Larry and Cal. Now if we get backlogged or have a rush job and in the busy summer months there are five full time employees and part time employees to help out as well. | |
