leather scuff repair Miami: a leather sofa being worked on in a Miami home

leather scuff repair Miami Finish Gone, Hide Untouched

Common Questions

Is a scuff worth calling anyone about?

Alone, often not. Combined with other work on the same visit, yes.

Can I touch it up myself?

You can, and the usual result is a shiny patch we then have to remove.

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.
