Hotel lobby furniture repair NYC
The lobby never closes. Neither does our schedule.
The public room, worked in sections, so guests keep a place to sit while one seating group is away.
The public room
Hotel lobby furniture repair NYC, piece by piece and group by group
Every guest crosses the lobby, and every seat in it is judged against the one beside it. We work out how each piece is built before we quote, because that decides whether it is repaired where it stands, overnight, or collected and brought back.
How each piece is worked
Six kinds of lobby seating, six configurations
Fixed or loose, in place or out of the room, and what has to happen before a guest can sit on it again.
-
Loose, repaired where it stands. Cushions come off, foam is checked, seams and arms are fixed in place.
-
Loose and light. Taken out of the group in pairs so the set is colored together and matches.
-
Fixed to the wall. Repaired or recovered where it is built, on the quiet hours, and back in use by morning.
-
Sat on, stood on, used as a table. Tops are rebuilt and refinished rather than patched.
-
Often bolted down. Seats come off the base, are recovered, and go back on the same visit.
-
Takes luggage all day. Scuffs and cuts on the top edge are repaired in place in one visit.
Occupied room
The lobby stays open. We work around it.
One group at a time
A seating group is screened off while the rest of the lobby stays in use. Guests never lose all of it.
On the quiet hours
Noisy and wet work runs between the last check-in and the breakfast rush, through overnight service.
Tagged to its place
Every piece is photographed and tagged, so it goes back to the exact spot and angle it came from.
Paperwork first
A COI for the building and the management company before the first visit.
One job, start to finish
The lounge chairs by the entrance have gone pale on the arms
The backs never took wear, so the backs set the color. This is how that pair is brought back in one night.
01
Photograph and tag
Both chairs logged to their spot by the door.
02
Clean and degrease
Body oil comes off first, or no color will hold.
03
Reference from the back
The unworn back is the original color. Color matching.
04
Judge it cured, in lobby light
Color dries back, so the sample is judged dry, in the room.
05
Color in thin coats
Built up on the arms and blended out into the sound leather.
06
Seal and return
Sheen matched to the backs, chairs back on their tags by morning.

Where the job goes next
Repair, restoration or reupholstery, and how lobbies order it
Hotel lobby furniture repair NYC is rarely one chair at a time. Matching is easier and cheaper when the whole group is done together, because the reference is set once.
Something has failed
Hotel furniture repair
A seam, a tear or a loose joint on a piece that is otherwise sound.
Tired, not broken
Hotel furniture restoration
Color and finish brought back on worn, faded or shiny leather.
Past saving, or a refresh
Hotel furniture reupholstery
New cover over rebuilt foam, fixed seating done where it stands.
On a schedule
Lobby maintenance program
A regular round of the lobby, so scuffs and seams are fixed while they are small. Whole groups run as bulk projects, urgent damage as emergency repairs.
Questions
What front-of-house managers ask first
Where do you offer hotel lobby furniture repair NYC?
Across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the rest of New York City, and in New Jersey and Long Island hotels.
Does the lobby have to close?
No. One seating group is screened off at a time, and anything noisy or wet runs on the quiet hours.
Can fixed banquettes be done in place?
Yes. Built-in seating is repaired or recovered where it stands, usually overnight, and is usable by morning.
Will the repaired pieces match the rest of the group?
That is the job. Color is taken from the least-worn part of the group and judged dry, in the lobby's own light.
Can you quote from photos?
For most lobby work, yes. Send one typical piece and one worst-case piece through the quote form.
