I damaged a brand new recliner leather sofa moving it into a room, so I called Total Leather Care. Mr. Luna came to home and repaired my sofa. After the work was done, there was virtually no sign of the damage. Go with these pros!

These guys are amazing! Repaired my damaged leather dress after taking it to another place who simply lightened the stain and left the damaged area still rough. They worked wonders on my dress, removed the stain, and the leather feels soft again! I can't even tell where the stain was. Super professional from start to finish, and will be taking any leather goods here in the future.

Total Leather Care refinished two Hans Wegner armchairs that I own from the 1960s. They replaced the foam padding and ugly green seat fabric with a subtle, pale pink leather that I selected at their shop. They also cleaned up the wood and refinished it to the beautiful warm red tone that is the hallmark of these pieces. Great job guys and thank you so much!

Genuine, honest business! They knew they could not give me a better price than a business down the road and referred me, saving me over $150. Very classy, very appreciated.
