A question we get frequently from customers is, “When should I reupholster my leather furniture?” Though ultimately the decision is yours, here are tips from our professional furniture upholsterers for whether you should have your leather furniture reupholstered.
- Rips or Tears – If your leather sofa sustains a rip or tear, it’s generally not possible to make a quick repair. Instead, you should plan to have the furniture reupholstered by a high-quality furniture refinishing shop in your area.
- Dirt or Grime – When you notice buildup of dirt, grime, or oil on your favorite leather furniture, you can usually call on a good upholstery cleaning company (such as First Coast Home Pros), but if the soiling is extensive, you can also opt to have the furniture completely reupholstered in new leather. For this job, call on the best professional furniture refinishing company in your area and trust the job to experienced craftsmen.
- Worn or Cracked – The best leather furniture tends to get a lot of use, and when you notice areas that are extensively or unevenly worn, it’s time to consider a new upholstery job for the piece, or at least for the affected cushions. When leather furniture is not cared for properly, it can crack, in which case you’ll need to find the best furniture refinisher and schedule their high-quality leather reupholstery service.
- “New Look” – Even if the leather on your favorite chair or settee is in good condition, you may be averse to its color or texture, or you may simply want a new look for the piece. If this is the case, find the best furniture refinishers and upholsterers and schedule the work.
