We Do Not Spray Indoors

  1. Spray driftsWhat misses the leather stays in the air.
  2. No booth hereA workshop pulls overspray away. An apartment cannot.
  3. So, by handSlower, and for most damage just as good.
The method that fits

Sprayed Versus Laid By Hand

Hand color stays on the damage and is checked pass by pass. A good arm is never recolored.

Asked on the doorstep

What The Building Asks

Will the apartment smell afterwards?
Faintly, for about an hour. Open a window at the end.
Do I need to tell my neighbours?
In a brownstone, no. A managed building may want the service entrance booked and insurance on file.
How loud is it?
Quieter than a vacuum. No compressor, no power sanding.
Can it be done while I am at work?
Yes, if someone lets us in. We need a few minutes with you to agree the color.
When can I sit on it?
Light use the same day. Keep throws off for a few days.
Why would my sofa leave the apartment?
Only if the frame has failed or the finish can only be sprayed. Leather repair Hoboken visits cover the rest.
