Customers' Satisfaction
My husband and I couldn't be happier with the job Olga and her team did on the refurbishment of our boat interior. We had them update all the cushion covers and replace the carpeting throughout the boat. The design process was easy and Olga's knowledge of the materials was helpful and reassuring. Throughout the process, good suggestions were made by her installer Sergei to improve the final result. Our boat looks better than new and we're very excited to enjoy it for years to come! We highly recommend Olga and her team! It was a pleasure working with them!
5 Stars isn't enough for Civitas Circle and their Team!!! I highly recommend Olga, Bob, and the Master Craftsman "Sergio". We took our 1998, MasterCraft Prostar to them for a complete flooring replacement, bench seat refresh, (Marine grade HDPE) new foam using the existing vinal. This also included a complete upgrade to all the gauges. (They can do more that just upholstery) Our boat received a true makeover. The attention to detail is truly second to none. This is truly something you don't see anymore. The fit and finish is a custom work of art. Sergio took the extra time to refresh the inside of the engine cover with heatshield thermal insulation. It was a seamless process from design to installation, and the results are stunning. If you want top-tier craftsmanship that makes an old boat look new, stop in and talk to Olga at Civitas Circle in Lake Zurich, IL.
Had a set of four 25 year-old sling chairs that were very well made (not like the junk that is sold today). The mesh netting started to wear out from years of use. After searching online, I found Civitas Circle and had them replace the mesh. They did a fabulous job! The chairs look like new and there's no doubt we will get another 25 years of use out of them. Don't waste money and resources buying new, poorly constructed, disposable furniture. Buy older, well constructed furniture made of real wood and good metal and have it reupholstered at Civitas Circle. You'll have beautiful furniture that won't fall apart with regular use and you'll save money in the long run.
From the moment I walked into their beautiful showroom I knew I was in the right place. I wanted my headliner reupholstered for my ‘91 Mercedes Benz 500 SL. Finding the correct material proved difficult to find. They knew exactly where to look (Germany) and the match in color and texture was outstanding. I am very particular and they exceeded my expectations in quality and workmanship. The headliner looks factory new and I could not be happier…..
My husband and I highly recommend Civitas Circle for any boat upholstery need you have. We are so happy with the work they did on the interior seats of our boat. Their attention to detail is second to none and they really care about their customers. Andy and Susan
The team did a beautiful job on my 30 year old boat, looks like new now. The craftsmanship required to remove some of the seating back rests was difficult and I though impossible, but they performed the work with care and great expertise. The end result is\ flawless. I highly recommend their services to anyone. Professional, high quality, and great to work with. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Worked with Olga and the Civitas Circle team to create new cushions for our patio set. Great people to work with and design expertise by Olga gave us the updated look we wanted. They provided completely custom cushions at a good price that are very comfortable and very well made. Would recommend Civitas Circle and will work with them again on future projects.
Mark Hansen The people at Civitas were great, really knew their stuff. Looked like they had been in business a long time with all the fabric they had and everything else. I had a rip in the bottom seat cushion on my Malibu boat and they matched the texture and color of it perfectly. The foam in the seat needed replacing and they took care of that ,too. Can't tell it's been remade. These are the guys I'm going to from now on and they repaired it quickly, too. Great people.
Brenna Castagna I had the fabric on my patio sling chairs replaced and the workmanship was excellent with quick turnaround time and good pricing. I am glad to I found this company and am happy to recommend them!
Just had a boat seat repaired. Both Olga and Bob were great to deal with. Very knowledgeable and the turn around time was unbelievable. Thank you!

Excellent people to work with. They're very helpful in explaining the work to be done and with making decisions. Good turn around and fair pricing. Work was done well and done fast. My seats look new and just as though they came from the dealer. With some slight design changes, even better than the dealer.
I just want to say thank you to Olga and Bob and their staff for a fantastic job on my ottoman! The material was fantastic and very unusual because we wanted tropical fish and they had it! They only funny part of the ottoman is when I got it home my two German shepherds claimed it and now, I can't get them off of it. I think Bob sewed in a couple of dog treats, LOL! I have since brought another project for them to do and I know it will be fantastic! I highly recommend them for any job.Professional work at a fair price. I'm very pleased with the workmanship and turn around time.Olga and team replaced cushions for my screened porch furniture. It’s something I wanted to do for years but did not know who could do it. I’m posting pictures because you will see the great work. It was a pleasure to work with them. And my cushions are “Made in the USA”!I have a wrought iron patio chair and love seat that we’re my grandma’s, but the cushions for them were long gone. I spent a long time measuring and trying to source the right size cushions online, but finally found the solution locally at Civitas Circle. Olga helped me select the right fabric and foam so the cushions will dry quickly and hold up to the outdoors. There were tons of fun fabric options to chose from, and the final product fits the furniture perfectly. We will enjoy these for many seasons to come! The shop is super cool- they can make you anything and had tote bags, pillows, and beautiful leather goods. Check it out!Mike MerkerRepaired my boat shorestation top expertly. Brought new life into by restiching all the seams as well. And completed the job in just days! Highly recommended in my book. Thank you.I bought a beautiful granite table and chairs. However, the cushions on the chairs were barely padded and the fabric was stapled to the seat cushions. I brought it over and spoke with the owner. She brought me in the back where there are endless shelves of fabric and foam. She worked with me on choosing the colors and foam. I was shocked when I came in to pick them up. They were gorgeous and very comfortable. I would highly recommend Civitas for any type of cushions. Very professional, outstanding workmanship and reasonably priced!
GMPAHIOS HI, just wanted to thank you for my 2 lawn chairs. They look great!!! Love my lounge chairs!!! Thank you for helping me pick fabric they look fantastic!!
They redid my patio chairs. Very happy with the result.
Kodi S.Owner provided me with good thorough answers to my questions about upholstery. Professional.
Fate O.If you are looking for a talented upholsterer in Lake Zurich, I highly recommend Civitas Circle. Olga and her team did a fantastic job recovering our patio furniture.The team at Civitas did great work recovering our stools, the dining room chairs are next!! Thank you!!Bill F. Connie and I want to thank you and your team for the beautiful job in re-covering our sling chaise lounges. Our thanks to Bob and others who may have worked on our chairs. Also, thanks for delivering the chairs to our house. We greatly appreciate the extra service.
We highly recommend Civita’s Circle for all your upholstery needs. The cushions on the back of our newly purchased sectional were too soft and sloppy for us to sit comfortably. Because our sofa was considered a “special order item,” it was not returnable to the store where we’d purchased it. So we contacted Olga at Civita’s Circle. She came right out to our home, assessed what needed to be done, and then her team at Civita’s Circle performed their magic. Civita’s Circle also stands behind their work to make sure you are 100% happy with the end result. Once we got our cushions home, we found they needed to be tweaked, a couple of times in fact. Bob came out to our home on both occasions and took the cushions back to his shop to correct the issues. In a world where it’s tough to find people that do good quality work, Civita’s Circle stands above all the rest and is simply the best.Mr. W.We had a couple pillows made up with zipper and everything went great! Meet the owners and staff great people!Brought my old center console boat seat in and let me say I was very impressed. The quality and turn around on getting back was outstanding. Thank you again!!
Had a 100 year old Rocking Chair restored. They did a fantastic job!Our patio furniture was well weathered and in need of new slings and paint touch up. Civitas Circle made it look brand new and we could not be more pleased! Thank you for the extra special customer service!! Even our pup was satisfied!Ann S.It was a leap of faith when I found Civitas on line. I had a complicated job that required an experienced upholsterer. I had 4 game chairs to reupholster along with a fabric that had difficult patterning. I also had them make 5 pillows with one that I wanted to put an embroidered piece in the center. I told Olga to use her desecration on how it w/look best and she surpassed my expectations. The attention to details on all the work they did was outstanding. I feel like I've found a new friend.We had individual covers made for our pontoon furniture to avoid the hassle of the full cover. Olga and Bob were absolutely wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Civitas Circle for marine upholstery work. Truly first class work and service!! They were an absolute pleasure to work with!
Maddie S.This summer my mother had an ottoman slipcover made for me by Olga. It was a challenging project because we could not bring the ottoman into the shop for fittings. They did an amazing job going off of the measurements that we sent over and the cover fit perfectly! The quality is amazing and I am so happy with the final project!
To the team at Civitas Circle, words can not describe how happy I am with the amazing work you did to make over my boat. You exceeded my expectations and I hold my standards pretty high. Olga, you are an absolute pleasure to work with and I thank you for not only becoming my friend, but I thank you for making me a customer for as long as you will have me. Thank you for the remarkable work on my boat. Thank you for the video of the work completed, and thank you for communicating with me through out the process. If anyone needs any type of reupholster work whether it's a boat, lawn furniture, an antique couch, an old chair, TRULY anything, I have seen their work, and this is the place you want to use. Again, thank you to the entire team for making my vision come to life. My sincerest thanks, Stephen Simpson
They have upholstered my boats large sun deck, bench seat and 2 bow seats for a reasonable price. The workmanship was fantastic replacing rotted wood and new hardware etc. I'll use them again.
Being a typical male and putting off stuff to the last minute I came to Olga and Bob at Civitas Circle with an older Wake/Ski boat desperately needing the upholstery to be replaced and it needed to be completed in a short period of time. Well, they were up to the task. The price was fair, and the workmanship was great!!! The seats turned out GREAT. I picked the boat up on a Thursday and that Saturday we were entertaining 16 young adults on the water for the entire week. It was AWSOME. Please see the attached before/after photos that take you through the process. Now that the inside of the boat is amazing, we are having Civitas Circle create a new mooring cover to better protect the new upholstery.C M.We worked with Olga to schedule an appointment to repair the headliner on our vehicle. She was very accommodating in working with our schedule. The work was done quickly, correctly, and the price was fair. we will definitely use them again for all our upholstery need
Great place! They made me a custom black pontoon cover that fits great, superb quality and attention to detail. Super kind staff, don't hesitate to check out Civitas Circle!!I have used Olga and her team twice now. Once for patio furniture and lately for our mastercraft boat cushions. She is professional and a perfectionist. Would highly recommend.Olga did a great job recovering our dining room chairs. Helped pick fabric, padding and cleaned wood. Highly recommend.
I came here to help a friend pick up upholstery for her boat and i was very impressed with the quality of work they did that i would refer them to any one that needs any upholstery.This is the ONLY place to have absolutely any type of upholstery done!!! Olga and her staff are fantastic! Very detail oriented and quality driven. We've had 3 projects completed so far and I'm sure we'll have more. First, they made new boat cushions which were uniquely shaped and Civitas did a perfect match! Olga advised a new pattern and it was a perfect decision. Next, new boat curtains, again unusual in design. The fit is so perfect it was as if they made them on site! Finally, they made custom patio chair cushions that match the colors of our house and shutters and they're so beautiful! Getting compliments on our porch!!
I have recommended them to many people and we will never go anywhere else for any upholstery need! Their quality is top notch!!!We just received our reupholstered banquette cushions and we couldn't be more pleased with them. Olga and Bob's team did a fantastic and professional job for us. They had a large selection of fabrics to choose from and Olga offered us her design skills in selecting the fabric and welting combination. We are pleased to provide our five star rating of Civitas Circle Upholstery in Lake Zurich!Had a high end patio set that I have had for years and really liked. Brought the set to Civitas and they were very helpful picking out material and then installing the material on the entire set. Came out great and looks better than when the set was new. Great to work with them.I dropped off a a bimi cover in worse than terrible condition off our pontoon boat. From that template they able to make us a perfect fitting replacement. I am quite happy with there work and timely process.High recommended ! Super skilled screw, lots of knowledge, attention to details and quality. And amazing customer service !!
We took our boat to Civitas Circle on the Fall 2024 to replace only the upholstery on the sun bed. But after talking to Olga and her team, they made us very comfortable and we ended up getting new upholstery for almost the entire boat, new flooring for the entire boat and a bad ass new cover!
They workmanship is incredible and they only use high end/top notch materials and do not cut corners and use cheap stuff.
If you want good stuff built right for your boat this is the place to go !!Absolutely would recommend this business all day long. They do such great work, so very detailed and are creative when looking for new ideas. They did the whole cockpit of our 38 Fountain Express cruiser and wow! If you need new interior on your boat, awnings (they did an awning for us too), RV interiors, covers, customer boat cover (they made one for us too), etc, give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed.They made my 1983 Mastercraft look brand new. My new boat interior is flawless. Great people to work with...Highly recommend!!Phenomenal customer service. We had a last minute job and the whole crew did their best to help us. They went above and beyond our expectations. Stunning work! From start to finish, the team was friendly, professional, and incredibly skilled. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, helped me choose the perfect materials, and delivered results that were beyond my expectations. Top notch craftsmanship!Had three counter height stools redone 1 month ago. Wanted to wait before posting a review after using the chairs. They are perfect, retain their shape after sitting and are very comfortable. thanks.James E.Great service and quality work. I had four boat cushions done and they did a fantastic job matching the original in my 2004 Malibu boat.
