full grain leather upholstery Miami: a leather sofa being worked on in a Miami home

full grain leather upholstery Miami The Surface Is The Hide

Nothing has been sanded off, so what you see is the animal’s own grain. That is why it repairs well and why it marks easily.

What this is

What The Job Actually Is

Every full grain leather upholstery Miami booking turns on one thing: an untouched natural grain. Everything below follows from that.

Scratches often burnish out rather than needing filler.

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.

Common Questions

Should a scratch be filled?

Usually not. On full grain it is worked back first; filler is the last resort.

Why does it mark so easily?

Because there is no coating over it. That is also why it ages better than anything else.

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.
