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

leather sofa reupholstery Miami A New Hide On Your Frame

Reupholstery is the answer when the hide is finished but the frame is not. Good frames outlive two or three covers.

What this is

What The Job Actually Is

Every leather sofa reupholstery Miami booking turns on one thing: a new cover on one piece. Everything below follows from that.

Past repair on most panels, with a frame still square.

Panels cut from the same hide batch so nothing reads odd.

Webbing, springs and frame joints are seen before new hide goes on.

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.

How the work runs

Four Steps, In Order

Done at your address unless the piece has to travel.

01

Strip

The old cover comes off and the frame is inspected.

02

Repair the frame

Loose joints and webbing are dealt with first.

03

Pattern

Panels cut from one batch, templated off the old cover.

04

Fit

Stitched, pulled and fixed so the lines sit where they did.

Asked before every estimate

Common Questions

Is reupholstery cheaper than a new sofa?

On a frame worth keeping, usually. On a stapled frame, often not. We say which yours is.

Can you match my existing hide?

We can get close, and an exact match to aged hide is rare. Recovering the whole piece avoids the question.

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.
