headboard reupholstery Miami: a leather sofa being worked on in a Miami home

headboard reupholstery Miami The Wall Does Half The Damage

A headboard is pressed against plaster and leant on every night. It wears from behind as well as in front, which is why it loosens before it tears.

What this is

What The Job Actually Is

Every headboard reupholstery Miami booking turns on one thing: pressure from the wall behind. Everything below follows from that.

Where It Works, Where It Stops

We would rather say no on the phone than take a piece we cannot put right. These are the honest edges of the job.

Asked before every estimate

Common Questions

Can you work with the bed in place?

Usually. If the headboard is bolted to the frame we may need it pulled out.

Will the oil marks come out?

From a coated hide, often. From an unsealed one it becomes a colour job.

Is the visit free?

Yes, with a written price before anything is booked.

Do you work on site?

Almost always. The piece stays where it is and the kit comes to you.

What do you need from me?

Two photographs. One wide enough to show the piece, one close on the damage.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Miami-Dade. Start at the county page.
