semi aniline leather upholstery Miami: a leather sofa being worked on in a Miami home

semi aniline leather upholstery Miami A Coat Thin Enough To See Through

Semi-aniline has a light pigment film over dyed hide. It is the compromise material, and the repair has to respect both halves of it.

What this is

What The Job Actually Is

Before you book

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 repair it without making it look coated?

That is the whole brief. Thin layers, matched to the dye underneath.

Is it more repairable than aniline?

Noticeably. The film gives us a working surface aniline does not have.

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.
