I have had cats for years and they have made a mess of my leather couches....I called Mike and he told me honestly that 2 chairs were write offs, but he could repair my sectional scratches for $300 and recommended re-staining my older leather couch to hide the scratches and even the color out which had faded from wear and the sun ($1100). He did an amazing job. I found him very fair and responsive.

I called Mike initially Tuesday. He asked that I send a photo via his website so he could provide an accurate quote. By Wednesday morning I had a quote. Quickly we coordinated a service date for Friday. Mike called me Friday morning to confirm the appointment. Mike and his assistant arrived on time. They surveyed the work and quickly put down drop cloths to protect the house. Mike's assistant cleaned the couch while Mike expertly rebuilt the damaged welting on the couch. He covered the damaged leather areas. He blended the color from the repaired area into the overall color of the couch. They cleaned up and left no mess behind. Work was done as quoted. The couch looks like new. I was very satisfied with the quality of his work and the work of his assistant.
Description of Work: I have a three year old leather couch that sustained some damage from my dog; she nibbled the welting and scratched the leather. The couch also had a wear mark from a move. It also needed a cleaning and I wanted leather preservative applied.

We recently purchased a beautiful high-end leather chair and ottoman at an estate sale for a song. Unfortunately, sections of the chair had color loss from sun fading and some heavy oil accumulation from a pet. Mike Turner came to our rescue and worked his magic on our chair and ottoman. He did an amazing job of color matching the leather, and by the time he was finished the chair looked brand new. Mike was professional, courteous, and honest. Thank you, Mike.

The sofa is approx. 15 years and has had lots of wear and tear as the kids grew up playing on it. The aging lines of wear were cleaned and treated. The torn seams were sewn together and the finished product looked fresh, bright and beautiful. There were no dark cracks in leather. The gentleman who did the work carefully laid out rug protection covers, had all the tools in a caring case and worked non stop for 5 hours. The cost was worth it and there is no need to replace our comfy family room sofa.
Description of Work: We had a large 3 piece leather sectional sofa (cream color) cleaned and repainted.

It went great, better than expected.
Description of Work: Mike and his partner cleaned and recolored my 15 yr old sofa. It is an Ethan Allen and too big an investment to get rid of. It now looks new !!! Mike took 15 cushions to his shop to do them,( a large sectional) and a week later he came out and did the base in my home. He was punctual,very neat, and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend him.

We contacted Mike the owner of Total Leather Care and he returned our call in less than 24 hours. Very professional and easy with which to communicate. He requested that we send him pictures via email, of what needed to be done. Not sure that sofas were able to be fixed, he still was optimistic and we sent up a time for his company to come out and try to fix tears and re- stain. We had tried doing so ourselves with horrible results and so they had to also strip and then stain. Mixed leather paint color on the spot and the and quot;color matchand quot; was just amazing. Stayed over 3 hours and worked hard to blend in original color with newly made color stain. It looks like a brand new couch and chair, and we are just thrilled. Found the company on Angie's List and this company gets at A+ from this household. Worth every penny and will recommend any time. Linda and Tom L.

The two gentlemen were very careful transporting my leather pieces to and from their shop. The work was done in the time that they estimated , two weeks. I was fearful that the leather was too worn to be refurbished, but all the pieces came back like new!

Mike Turner and one other person from Total Leather Care came on time. They restored everything ahead of schedule and did a great job. The work involved matching the dye on some sections and conditioning everything. We did not know they could make our 25 year old furniture look so good or that they could do a perfect color match on our cream colored sectional. They exceeded expectations. We recommend they without hesitation.
Description of Work: Our 25 year old leather Mies van der Rohe daybed and two Barcelona chairs and eight dining chairs with leather seats were showing their age with small scratches and worn areas. Our large cream colored ten year old De Sede was a bit worn in our favorite seating area. Everything needed restoration and conditioning.

Description of Work: Mike has been cleaning my leather furniture for years. He is very thorough and does a great job. The couch and chair I bought 20 years ago still looks great. He even had to recolor the chair once and it matched the couch perfectly. He also patched a vinyl barstool last time he was here.

Fellow arrived on time.. Every contact was promptly made, follow-up to initial inquiry also prompt. After seeing couch and loveseat and describing repair process, it was determined to not be something that could be repaired on site with the type of results I would want. Felt that representative was very honest in explaining what he'd do to make onsite repairs versus taking to shop for total redye and how it would look when he was done. I came to the determination that I probably would not be happy with the results unless items were completely redyed, at much higher cost. Given age of furniture, and two tone pattern in leather, am not sure if I will do that, although I have no doubt the final results would be excellent. It will be difficult for them to replicate current coloration as it is not totally solid so I may not have them redyed.
Description of Work: Wanted two leather couches repaired due to cat claw scratches primarily. Sent via email, pictures of the areas to be dyed/repaired. All follow up on the part of company was prompt and professional. Didn't have onsite service completed in the end.

Our leather furniture, although of good quality, was looking very worn after 10 years. We considered replacing the furniture, but decided first to see if it could be refinished. The result was amazing. All cracks, cat scratches and worn areas have been repaired. It looks like new. Mike is certainly an expert in his field.

My very good leather chair and ottoman was faded,cracked,scratched and had pet stains. I had two estimates and his was the most expensive, however we felt he really had the experience and knowledge to do the best work. When he returned them, We could not believe how beautiful they looked. They look brand new. The leather is soft and back to its original color. He also replaced the brass nails and retouched the wood feet. We now have anther twenty years to enjoy our favorite chair. I can recommend him to any and all who have leather furniture. He has my highest praise. Michael Turner is unbelievable!

While no guaranty could be provided that the leather would not tear in the future, the work was very professional and the chair looks almost like new. The price was fair considering the repair person came to our home and spent almost 2 hours on the job.

They made my 25 year old chair look like new. They cleaned it every 6 months to freshen it up and they made it look amazing. They took really good care of my antique leather chair and always satisfied me with their great work. I would recommend these guys to anybody who needs leather pieces fixed. I don't remember the price.
