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.
