Fix the Arm, Keep the Chair

A scuffed arm does not mean a new lobby chair. Property management furniture repair NYC work fixes the damaged spot and leaves the rest alone, so the budget line stays small.

    The super sends a photo of the tear. We quote from the photo.

  2. The lobby sofa roped off with small stanchions during the repair2
    Lobby stays open

    Only the sofa is roped off. Residents walk past as usual. On-site repairs.

  3. The tear in the sofa cushion cleaned and trimmed3
    Clean and trim

    The tear is cleaned and loose fibers trimmed so nothing lifts later.

  4. A backing patch slid under the tear in the leather4

  5. Filler sanded smooth over the repaired tear5
    Fill and sand

  6. A color swatch card and mixing cups beside the repair6

  7. Color applied over the repair with the grain restored7
