nubuck leather upholstery Miami The Nap Is The Finish
Nubuck is top-grain hide buffed to a fine velvet. Anything that flattens or wets that nap changes the colour, and no coating can be put over it.
What The Job Actually Is
Every nubuck leather upholstery Miami booking turns on one thing: a raised nap that cannot be coated. Everything below follows from that.
The velvet surface is the finish, not a coating.
Brushing one way or the other changes the colour.
Water flattens the nap and marks it immediately.
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.
The nap is raised again mechanically.
Lifted dry rather than washed.
Often permanent, and we will say so before starting.
Sealing nubuck destroys the thing it is.

Common Questions
Can a shiny worn patch be fixed?
Often, by raising the nap again. It will not match perfectly on heavy wear.
Can nubuck be waterproofed?
Lightly, with a breathable treatment. Anything heavier turns it into something 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.
