Outstanding work restoring 13 years worth of cat scratches on a full-grain aniline leather couch. This is the most unforgiving kind of leather and also the most rewarding to the touch - after restoration, the couch looks like new and feels supple like on the first day. The team is truly passionate about their work and the end results show it.

They said what they were going to do and they did in the time frame I was given. Very nice job!! You would never know the cushion tops have been replaced. They match seamlessly!!
Description of Work: Leather couches needed to have cushion tops replaced. The leather was started to tear and was thin. They were able to match the color leather, order and replace in 4 weeks. Once they got the leather in I mailed them the seat covers and they replaced and came out to the house to fit on and buff out. The couches look brand new. Total of 6 cushion top surfaces.

On the older chair, Bryan inserted leather patches under the torn and weak spots and sealed it to the existing leather. Although these parts don't look brand new, its 100 times better, and the color is back to its original shine. The newer chair looks spectacular. Bryan is very focused on the restoration work, not rushed, and ensuring he gets the best result possible. A true pro.
Description of Work: We own 2 Hancock and Moore leather chairs. The oldest one is 18 years old, had a tear in the arm, and was very dry, cracked, and faded. The second chair is 9 years old and was faded in spots with cat claw marks. We considered getting rid of the oldest chair, but it is still very comfortable, so we decided to see if it was salvageable.

Had issue with leather dye wearing off car seats. The dye color was matched perfectly and the seats were cleaned, conditioned and sealed. Other than an issue with the weather not cooperating, and Bryan having to come back the repair went very well. The seats look so much better, and time will tell how the job holds up, but so far I'm very happy with the outcome. I asked he add a bit more dye on the worn off areas so that they would hold up longer and wear better. He did this and made sure I was happy with the outcome. While the seats don't look brand new, they now are in excellent condition and I'm very satisfied with the quality of the work and wouldn't have any issues recommending him. I had some before and after pictures to really show the quality of the work, but I'm unable to upload these. Its really too bad, because the results were excellent.

He made it look like new! Using dye to match and other techniques he was able to erase any trace of my dogs and family abuse of this couch. I was amazed and pleased. He was responsive to my emails and pictures giving me a reasonable estimate. Arrived on time and completed an excellent job.

Bryan Graves is an artisan who works miracles on damaged leather and will not give up until the job is 100% perfect. We have a beautiful Hancock Moore leather chair which was severely damaged with black stains from multiple treatments I had foolishly tried myself. I ended up with a black arm on tan leather chair with the damage going into several layers of the leather. The obvious option was to reupholster the arm and match the leather, but Bryan wanted to try to save it. Within four hours and Bryan's own intuitive and skilled methods, he restored the arm right in our house. If I could show you the pictures, you would agree that this level of craftsmanship and artistic ingenuity doesn't exist much anymore. He loves his work and a challenge and it shows.

They contacted me within 24hrs of my voicemail. I emailed them pictures of the stain per their request. They came by punctually within a few days. The stain was pretty bad, right in the middle of the couch. Brian worked on in it for about 1hour, and now it's 99% gone. No one would notice that there was a stain there at all, other than me. The couch looks like new again.
Description of Work: We got a stain on our leather couch, which we couldn't get out. Not sure what caused the stain. Used online suggestions of wiping with damp cloth or using very diluted dishwasher soap, but the stain remained. I tried two different upholstery specialists, but they weren't able to help me. One of them referred me to Hub Leather.

I found Bryan through Angie's list and I'm glad I did. Bryan is a master craftsman when it comes to repairing quality leather furniture. He knows his craft well, took his time and the repair came out nearly perfect. I have no complaints, only praise for his service and would definately recommend him & use him again. If you have a piece of quality leather furniture that needs repair, he's the man to call.
Description of Work: I had a Lane leather recliner that had some cat damage on one side (leather was scratched up pretty good). Bryan repaired the damaged area and matched the color and finish extremely well. he came on time, service was done promptly with no mess and he cleaned up after he's done.

After emailing pictures of our furniture, Bryan quoted us a price and came to our house - as opposed to shipping our furniture out for who knows how long. He was very easygoing, hardworking, professional, and seemed to truly "enjoy" his work. He spent the whole day on the job without complaint. We couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. He made our furniture which I thought was in deplorable condition look new again!!! We consider ourselves lucky to have found Bryan/Hub after years of looking for help and purchasing product after product trying to do it ourselves. He also stuck to the quoted price - no surprises!! We have - and will continue to praise Bryan to all we know. Donna and Jon N., Hull, Ma.

My couch looks like it is new! I would use them again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: I have a wonderful leather couch that I have had for 6 years. It started to show real signs of wear on the seat cushions to the point that I either needed to get it addressed or consider getting a new couch. I found Hub Leather Repair on Angie's List and contacted them. The got back to me pretty quickly and asked that I send pictures of the couch and cushions so they could provide me an estimate. It took me a couple of weeks to get the pictures to them, but once i did they got me an estimate range in a couple of days. I have a crazy schedule, so we had to put the repair date out a few weeks. Brian arrived on time, quickly set up (fully protecting my wood floors) and started working on the couch. He was very nice and patient and did a fantastic job. The cost came in within the estimate too.

Bryan is a miracle worker! Our light-colored leather sofa was dirty, cracked, worn, and looking tired - and it no longer looked like its 'matching' love seat. Frankly, it was an embarrassment. We considered replacing both pieces but couldn't find anything we liked and were horrified by the low quality and the high prices. Although someone suggested renovation and referred us to HUB Leather, we couldn't believe that this was an option due to the poor condition of the sofa. However, after exploring the HUB Leather website, we submitted photos and received an informative email in return. Bryan recommended replacing the leather tops and restoring/cleaning/conditioning the whole set to ensure that it matches; this route is recommended if the cost of the renovation is less than half the cost of replacement (which it definitely was). He came to the house, disassembled the sofa to remove the seat leather, and then re-assembled it so that it was available for our use (covered by a blanket). He then sent a few leather samples for us to choose from based on color, thickness, etc. Once we selected the leather, he obtained the leather, sewed the seat cover, and then returned to the house to reassemble the sofa and restore/clean/condition the set, which was completed in a few hours. Watching him work was like watching an artist and when he was done, we couldn't believe the difference between the before and after (see photos!). The sofa has been given a second life! The entire process took ~8 weeks from start to finish, which is approximately the same length of time it would have taken to order and receive a new sofa.
Description of Work: Bryan Graves of HUB Leather Repair performed a total renovation of a leather sofa that included: replacement of the seat leather, rejuvenation of the seat stuffing, and cleaning and rejuvenation of remaining original leather with color blending to match the new leather. He also rejuvenated the seat stuffing on the loveseat.

It went really well! Initially we found it difficult to locate someone specializing in leather furniture repair and discovered Hub Leather Repair through an internet search. Even during the quotation process they were very responsive and thorough. To prepare the estimate I sent a number of photos of the damage and they provided a narrow range of what the project could cost. We set up an appointment and the owner, Bryan Graves, arrived at the specified time, inspected the chair, took some measurements and left with the seat cushion. About eight weeks later Bryan returned and spent about two hours attaching the armrest covers and replacing the seat covers. He was running a little late and called to give us a heads-up. Just to clarify, the armrest covers are not removable, the are attached to the chair and a person would need to look very closely to know that these covers are not part of the original chair. As compared to the original price of the chair and matching ottoman the price paid for the restoration was extremely fair. Just to note, the eight week turnaround was impacted by a number of factors - they need to order matching leather; we ran into the holidays; but also; and they are very busy so it is important to plan ahead if you want a piece restored for a special event. They were very accurate in terms of time estimates and their communication is great.
Description of Work: Restored a damaged leather armchair. The chair was purchased from Ethan Allen four years ago. During that time the leather on the armrests cracked, discolored and large pieces of it flaked off. In addition, sections of the seat cushion lost their color and turned a light yellow. Hub Leather Repair re-covered the armrests with leather that matched the original leather and re-dyed and sealed the leather on the cushion.

Crate & Barrel, the company that sold me my leather sofa four years ago, recommended that I contact Hub Leather Repair after I damaged the armrest of my sofa while trying to remove paint that had accidentally splattered on it. Bryan Graves returned my message promptly and determined during our first phone conversation that the type of damage I described to him was something that he could easily resolve for me. Bryan immediately provided me with a fair quote over the phone, and we then set up an appointment for later in the week. Bryan arrived on time and spent about an hour meticulously preparing and color-matching the area of the couch to be repaired. Once he was done, it was impossible to detect that the armrest had ever been damaged - the blending was absolutely seamless! Bryan recommended some leather cleaning and conditioning products for me to purchase to help keep my sofa looking like new. Hub Leather Repair guarantees their work for up to one year, and Bryan encouraged me to reach out to him if I had any problems going forward with the area of the couch he retouched for me.
