Fix One, The Set Stops Matching

Sofa, loveseat and chair age together, but not evenly. Repair one alone and it stands out, so we match it to the pieces beside it.

One End Faded, One End Not

Leather repair Queens visits can find a sofa two colors at once, because only one end gets the afternoon sun.

Color is three things at once

Shade, Sheen And Grain

Match only the shade and the repair still shows in daylight. Color restoration matches all three.

Common Questions

Can you fix one piece of a set?
Yes, matched in shade, sheen and grain to the others.
Will a faded end match?
Yes, blended across so the change doesn't show. Protection slows it next time.
Is it done at home?
Usually, in one visit. New panels go to the bench.
Is the visit free?
Yes, with a written quote for the whole set.
Do you cover all of Queens?
Yes, every neighborhood in the borough, plus nearby Nassau.
Fabric too?
Yes. See fabric and vinyl.
