Recent Leather Repair Reviews in Chicago
- TECHNIQUE INCSteve did an absolutely beautiful job, and I couldn't be happier with it! He came to the house (which was so convenient) and his pricing was very reasonable. He was courteous, punctual, professional, and a true craftsman. My ottoman especially had so many cracks and Steve did wonders with it. I will certainly 100% hire him again for any project and I highly recommend his work
- TECHNIQUE INCWhat a beautiful job! After a morning in Steve's hands, our 10 year old furniture looks like it is brand new - it's a "wow" for sure. Steve is very professional and obviously knows what he is doing, and very pleasant as well.
- Covers Unlimited Inc.Over the years I had unfortunately relaxed my rule that the dogs were not ever allowed on the furniture, on the assumption that I could always wipe the leather couch cushions clean. No, I could not: The things absolutely reeked, and after a rather unsuccessful stab at getting them refurbished, I eventually realized I'd either have to replace the whole couch or get new cushions made. I called Covers Unlimited to rescue the situation. I talked with Cary Weinstein, whose first questions spoke volumes about the integrity of the company: Before we went too far into details, he wanted to be sure the couch was solidly built and likely to last a long time. He told me leather upholstery is expensive, because cowhides are expensive, and he didn't want to do a major repair job on a piece of furniture that wasn't going to hold up. Once I described the couch, Cary took on my sad case, and was incredibly flexible and helpful through the process. After we discussed my options, I sent Cary a piece of the leather from one of the cushions, then Cary ordered samples of leather and mailed them to me so I could pick the closest match. I didn't want to schlep all the way down to 18th street, so with Cary's guidance I measured my cushions and the couch, and dropped off an example cushion at his home, which was much closer to where I live. Covers Unlimited created three beautiful cushions within a couple of weeks of their receiving the new cowhides, and I was able to pick them up at Cary's home, again saving me a drive downtown. I have to talk about the workmanship on these things: Even though my couch was an expensive Mitchell Gold couch, the cushions were not reversible--they had a partial fabric backing. Cary explained that that wasn't necessarily a sign of cheapness, but that it was to allow air to flow out when the cushions were compressed. But he also told me he could make reversible cushions that accomplished the same thing. So now I have cushions I can flip over! I also noticed that one corner of each of the new cushions wasn't exactly square, but rather kind of curved into a little point. I thought this was weird, until I put the cushions on the couch and realized that those little points curved back and fit precisely into the corners of the couch, accommodating the slight outward curve of the couch back. Everything fits together snugly, with no gaps. I had also asked that the cushions be very firm, since I'm not comfortable sinking into upholstered furniture. Cary made sure the foam he used was extra firm, so there's a wonderful tautness to the seat. Cary bent over backwards to make this process convenient for me, he was willing (and able!) to answer all my questions, he was unfailingly pleasant to work with (his wife is nice, too!), and he did a fantastic job constructing flawless, perfectly-fitting, gorgeous cushions. My couch is good for at least another fifteen years--so though this job wasn't cheap, in the long run it saved me thousands of dollars by letting me keep the couch I love instead of trying to replace it. Oh, yeah, the dogs are not allowed on the couch anymore. :-
- TECHNIQUE INCThe overall experience was great. It is impossible to use any product yourself to clean stains off of leather. He has the knowledge and experience to restore remove the stain and restore the item to close to its original look.
- MIDWEST AUTO TOPS & UPHOLSTERY INCThey recommended using a vinyl to save on cost. Excellent advice! You could never tell there was ever a repair, much less that it was repaired using vinyl! Very happy with the job and the customer service. Highly recommend!!
- HOWARD'S SHOE AND LUGGAGE REPAIRAlthough it took a little more time than expected, it didn't matter because they'll be ready for autumn. I would recommend Howard's Shoe and Luggage Repair to everyone. Thank you!!!!
- Quality Auto Reconditioning, Inc.Dropped the car off on Saturday morning and picked it up Monday evening. Very satisfied with the work AZ did - 7 year old car looks brand new. I had a Groupon to use for the detailing, but decided to have the extra repair work done and avoid an insurance claim for damage from an accident. Overall, I'm very happy with the work AZ performed and would definitely use them again
- HOWARD'S SHOE AND LUGGAGE REPAIRThey fixed the shoes, and they look absolutely amazing. Couldn't be happier. They also went the extra mile to inspect the rest of the shoe to make sure that the heels were stable, and weren't showing any signs of trouble. It's like they are brand new! I can't wait to try them out on the dance floor.
- TECHNIQUE INCSteve is so professional and went to work quickly. He took his time in making sure that the crack was repaired beautifully and that everything was done thoroughly and painstakenly. Before you throw out a piece of old leather furniture, call him. It can be re-claimed and restored to its original luster. I feel like he saved me a lot of money and it is like I have new furniture again. He is an artist
- Creative Colors International IncJ&J's staff was courteous and friendly from the initial phone call to the completion of the repair. They arrived promptly and performed meticulous work repairing the ripped seam in our leather sofa. We are very pleased with the results and would highly recommend them to others.

"It went perfectly. Ivan and his team delivered what he said and it turned out better than we expected. He didn’t cut corners and made suggestions to make it better. We had a unique project. We had a deck above our front door rebuilt but the contractor did not finish the work underneath. We needed a ceiling put in, trim and a wood-box outline to complete the look. He also painted it. It was a two day project. They cleaned up nicely. Up to the start date, Ivan would text me with updates as to where we were on his list. I appreciated the constant contact.

"I am so grateful I used Modern Quality Flooring to repair my hardwood floors! Danny and his team were super responsive, communicative and efficient! A steam trap failed under my bedroom floor, causing the floors to buckle. I work from home, and had heard so many horror stories about contractors, dealing with no-shows, supply delays and escalating costs that I was nervous to begin the project, even though it was covered by insurance. Danny and his team were incredible though. Danny came out for an estimate the day after I called, and the project was fully done two weeks later. They were significantly less expensive than the other quotes I’d received, and I know the workmanship and customer service was superior. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
