Questions About Staging Work

Can more than one piece be done in one visit?
Yes, out here that is normal. The limit is how many need different materials.
How do I choose what goes first?
You don't. Send a photo of each piece and we send the order back.
Does splitting it over two visits cost more?
Slightly. The second visit rides on a run already coming east.
Is there a minimum to come out?
A minimum for the day, not the piece. That is why the order matters.
What if I only want one thing fixed?
Then that is all we do. Leather repair Suffolk County quotes cover only what you ask.
Do you take anything away?
Usually not. A full reupholstery job is the exception.
