The whole chair, not just the spot

A repair has to disappear into the piece around it. Slide across each photo and look at the color, the sheen and the grain where old meets new.

Cracks · 8 pairs

Cracked and dried-out leather

Dry leather splits along the folds first: arm fronts, seat edges, cushion tops. We fill the cracks, rebuild the color and seal it. These leather repair before and after NJ pairs show the most common cases.

Questions

Before you send photos

Will my piece look like the after photo?

It depends on the leather, its age and how deep the damage goes. We look at your photos first and tell you what result to expect before any work starts.

Can you tell from photos what my furniture needs?

Usually, yes. Send one photo of the whole piece and a close-up of each damaged spot, and we reply with what we would do and the price.

Is the repair done in my home?

Most New Jersey repairs are done at your home or office. If a piece needs something else, the estimate says so.

Is there damage you cannot fix?

Bonded and faux leather that is peeling all over usually needs a new cover rather than a repair. We tell you that at the estimate stage, not after.

Your turn

Send us the before.

Two photos are enough for a first answer: the whole piece, and the damage up close. Your own leather repair before and after NJ story starts there.
