Home/Upholstery
Not everything that looks like leather is.
Upholstery NYC for homes and businesses. We name the cover first, because that decides whether a piece is repaired, recoloured or recovered.
Upholstery NYC: four families
Hide takes dye. Bonded peels. Vinyl welds. Fabric is replaced.
Four checks, done in your room
No lab. All four on the first visit, before any number.
Natural grain wanders and printed grain repeats. A cut edge shows colour through, or a skin over cloth. A woven back means it is not hide. Wear exposes whatever the surface was hiding.
The answer picks the route
Same sofa, three quotes.
Repair
The cover is sound and the damage is local. We work that area and blend it back.
Recolour
Hide only. Bonded and vinyl will not hold a new colour coat.
Recover
A new cover on the old frame. Worth it when the frame is sound.
The room sets the specification
A cover that suits a living room fails in a waiting room.
Three pieces, photographed twice
Same piece, same angle, same light.
Top row before, bottom row after. See the full gallery.

Upholstery NYC questions
How do I know if my sofa is real leather?
Look at a cut edge or the underside. Hide carries colour right through and its grain never repeats. Bonded is a skin on cloth, so wear shows cloth.
Can bonded leather be repaired?
Patched sometimes. Recoloured no, because the surface is already lifting off its backing. Once it peels in sheets the answer is a new cover.
Is reupholstery worth it on an old piece?
It depends on the frame, not the cover. A hardwood frame with sound joints is worth recovering. We open a seam and look.
Do you work on site or take the piece away?
Both. Small repairs and colour work happen in your room. A full recover goes to the workshop; fixed seating is worked overnight.
Do you match an existing cover?
We bring samples and judge them in your light. Where an exact match is impossible we say so before cutting.
Send the two photographs.
The whole piece, and the damage close up. We name the material and tell you the route. Call (347) 310-7483 if it is easier to describe out loud.
