leather repair Miami Shores Houses That Kept Their Furniture

Mid-century houses here often hold their original seating. The frames are worth more than the covers, and that decides the whole job.

Why it fails here

Four Places That Go First

Wear is never even on a leather piece. These four spots fail before the rest of it does, and a photograph of them tells us most of what a quote needs.

Every sit starts and ends on an arm.

Only as deep as the damage goes.

03

Asked before every estimate

Common Questions

Is a mid-century piece worth recovering?

Usually more than a new sofa is worth buying. The frame is the asset.

Can you match the original look?

We template off the existing cover so the lines stay where the designer put them.

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.

How long does it take?

Most single-panel work is one visit. We say which it is from the photographs.

Is repair cheaper than new?

Usually by a wide margin. The bands are on the cost page.
