Common Questions

Can you repair it without moving it?
Scratches, color, cracks, seams and small tears usually can be.
Do you carry everything up the stairs?
Yes. The kit is portable, so a fifth-floor walk-up is fine.
What if the sofa must leave?
We check the stairs first. Pickup and delivery.
Can only the cushions go?
Often, yes. The frame stays and the cushions come back finished.
Will the room smell?
A little while the finish dries. We open a window.
Is the visit free?
Yes, with a written quote and photos.
Do you work in co-ops?
Yes. Send the building's rules and we plan around them.
Can faded leather be brought back?
Usually. Faded leather.
Do you repair other leather types?
Yes. See materials.
Can a cat-scratched arm look new?
Light scratches blend in well. Deep ones are filled and grained, and still show a little up close. Armrests.
Do you replace just the cushions?
Yes. New foam or new covers, and the frame never leaves. Cushions.
Should I clean it before you come?
No. Avoid polish or wipes on the damaged part, since they can stop the color from bonding.
Do you repair dining chairs?
Yes, at the table. Dining chairs.
How long does a visit take?
It depends on the damage. We tell you when we quote.
