leather rip repair Miami A Rip Follows The Fibre

Leather tears along the direction its fibres run. Where a rip is going next is predictable, and that decides how far back we have to work.

What this is

Before you book

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.

Common Questions

It keeps getting longer. Why?

Because the tension that started it is still there. We deal with that too.

Is a rip the same as a tear?

We treat them the same way. The difference is only how it started.

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.
