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

building leather reupholstery Miami Glass Lobbies Kill Leather

A Miami lobby is a glass box. Leather sitting in that light fades on one side only, so the piece ages unevenly and nobody notices until the contrast is obvious.

What this is

Common Questions

Why is only one side faded?

The light comes from one direction. That is the whole explanation.

Can it be recoloured instead?

Often, and it costs far less. We will tell you which case you 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.
