Services
Wood Furniture Repair
Repair scratches, pet damage, and structural issues in wood furniture. Our technicians restore chairs, tables, cabinets, and floors using color-matching techniques and durable fillers. Services include fixing loose joints, replacing damaged components, and refinishing surfaces to preserve the item's original aesthetic while ensuring long-term functionality.
Countertop Repair
Restore granite, marble, and natural stone countertops to like-new condition. We address chips, scratches, and stains using specialized polishing and filling methods. Our non-invasive techniques preserve the integrity of the stone while eliminating imperfections, offering a cost-effective alternative to full countertop replacement.
Leather Repair
Fix tears, scratches, and fading on leather furniture, jackets, and handbags. Our process involves color blending, texture matching, and protective coatings to rejuvenate leather surfaces. We handle both cosmetic touch-ups and structural repairs, extending the lifespan of luxury items without compromising their appearance.
Chair Repair
Strengthen loose or broken chair frames using steam-based disassembly and regluing techniques. We replace damaged parts, reinforce joints, and reupholster seats to restore stability and aesthetics. This service prevents the need for full replacements while maintaining the original design of dining and kitchen chairs.
Upholstery Restoration
Repair torn seams, stains, and wear on fabric upholstery. Our seamstresses replace damaged sections, mend tears, and apply protective treatments to extend the life of sofas, chairs, and cushions. We match existing fabrics and patterns to ensure seamless results for both residential and commercial furniture.
