Omg Erik Nelson was God send he brought tears to my eyes when he finished. I'll show you the pic and you'll see why. I really damaged my beige sofa by rubbing a area that had a spot. I couldn't get the spot out. I was so depressed. I just knew I was going to have to replace one part of the sofa. I called FIBRENEW and Erik saved me so much money, he did a excellent job even matched the color perfectly. If you ever need repair leather, furniture, re-dye please call this company ask for Erik he's awesome.

Amazing service. Quality and efficiency. Highly recommended.

Scott did an awesome job on an old antique chair. It was vinyl not leather and the cat made a mess of it. Were told by another upholsterer that it could be fixed without redoing the whole chair which would have been prohibitive.

Great job and good service Thanks

From:

I am a designer and when it comes to furniture I am very particular. I have an extremely expensive leather sofa and lounge chairs that I bought years ago and claimed that these pieces would be the only sofa and lounge chairs I would ever buy/need. These high end pieces have held up to animals, my husband, and kids, but over time the natural leather patina was looking tired. Scott brought the finish of my leather furniture back to It’s original life and I could not be happier. Not only is he a lovely person, he knows his business and is very communicative, and he is exacting. I would highly recommend Scott, you will not be disappointed!!

Excellent communication and service. Scott is a super nice guy and took his time explaining and executing the job. We had a tear in our sofa and Scott's work has the seam looking like new! Thank you, Scott!

Kathleen C.

Scott is amazing! He did a wonderful job restoring my leather car seat and car door. He was able to come out to do the repair sooner than I thought and gave me a quote that he stuck to. I would definitely recommend him! Thank you Scott!

Mitra E.

Really amazing work, cleaned up the seats on my 3-series and some wear that had been showing. Very impressed with the outcome, aside from being just plain awesome at this - Scott is a really friendly guy too. Highly recommend.

Scott did a great job redyeing our couch. We definitely recommend him for leather repair.

Steve H.

Emailed for quote request on a Thursday night and Scott came out Friday afternoon. A seam had started to rip on the armrest of my couch. He arrived on time and got straight to work. He knew what he was doing and was professional and personable. The armrest now looks like nothing ever happened to it. I'm very happy!

Jennifer M.

Scott was great. The price for the service provided was good and his workmanship was very very good. If you need your leather couch couches fixed and repaired Scott it the man you need to call. All Communication before my apt was exceptional.
Thank you Scott for your great work.

Had Scott out the other day to repair a leather cushion that had some of its finish removed.  It was a fairly expensive piece of a much larger sectional and the scar that was left was really noticeable.  I was beside myself for awhile not having any knowledge that something like that could even be repaired. I had tried some dyes that I got from Amazon, but the dye just made the scar even more noticeable to me.  So Scott dropped by after I sent him the photos in the original quote request and went to work.  He brought everything he needed and was very professional and meticulous.  I couldn't be happier.  It came out great.  I can tell something was done, but the average guest in my home probably wouldn't be able to.

At the end of the session I asked him for a referral for some stitching that had pulled out on an ottoman. Again, it was unsightly and I was concerned that the stitching could get pulled or ripped out further, ruining the cushion.  He said that he had his sewing supplies with him in his car and that he could take care of it!  Awesome!

I had searched and searched on line for someone to address these repairs, and I check things like Yelp reviews to see how others' experiences were.  Never had I come across Fibrenew, let alone someone who could restitch/repair leather furniture like this!  Thank you Scott!! Your great reviews are well earned!!

Highly recommended!!

Anyone needing leather repair due to cat scratching -- this is the place!  We had extensive damage to several vertical areas of a couch and love seat.  I fully expected we would need to replace these items.  After Scott finished his work, there is NO visible trace of the cat scratching.  Scott's work is fantastic.  He exceeded our expectations.

Carole A.

We had some mystery streaks pop up on our expensive beige leather couch, and we made it much worse by trying to get them out ourselves. Not only were the streaks still there after countless cleaning products, but we managed to rub of part of the leather on the cushion.

I emailed Fibrenew on Thursday and Scott was able to come out the following Tuesday. I am so glad we hired him because the couch looks brand new. He treated the streaks and rub mark and built up the color to match the rest of the couch. When he was done you could never tell there was any damage.

Job well done!

Wow, all I can say is that Scott saved the day! After a vintage leather chair (that had been recently restored) was deeply scratched by fingernails, I was unsure if I would have to reupholster the entire chair (very expensive) to get it back into good condition again. I called Fibrenew out of desperation. I initially sent in some photos through the website, and they responded within a day with a quote. Pretty much the next day, Scott popped in just to look at the damage to see how long it might take him to fix. (he squeezed me in between clients) He then came back later that week and spent 3-4 hours getting that chair back to perfection! I admit, it was a difficult job, but he really was so knowledgeable and thorough, he matched the color perfectly and the scratches are gone! I highly recommend Scott, he is an artist and craftsman! And, the price was really affordable!

Scott is awesome, knowledgeable, thorough and very customer service oriented! I have a two year old Arizona Leather couch that had begun to peel (see my review of them for more details) in one spot and they refused to fix it under warranty. I thought I was sunk, I had no idea peeling leather could be fixed. I fired up yelp and found Scott. Scott was very patient, talking through the process with me by phone and then answering all my follow up questions via email. He came out, was on time and went right to work. The couch looks beautiful, his color match was perfect and it looks brand new again. Most importantly, it passed the wife test, she's happy, so I'm really happy. haha  Thank you Scott, you've got my recommendation and future business.

Scott did an incredible job restoring the interior seat leather on my Ford Explorer. I am blown away! He is incredibly meticulous and careful, and did an unbelievable job. I have a brand new Ford, and was very upset when a dog seat cover that I bought online transferred black dye onto my new caramel-colored leather rear bench seats. The dealer tried to get the dye out and said that it was permanent. Scott re-dyed the leather and it looks brand new! He came to my office in Oakland, which was super convenient for me. He matched the color perfectly, was incredibly kind and professional, and I can't thank him enough. I highly recommend Scott and Fibrenew!

Scott did the most amazing job totally renewing our worn leather sectional and ottoman!
He is even more of a perfectionist than I am and color matched the pieces perfectly.
This picky interior designer HiGHLY recommends Fibrenew and plans on using him again for our car seats.

Barbara R.

Scott just restored the 60 plus year old leather seats in my antique 1929 Chrysler roadster and I couldn't be more pleased. He matched the badly cracked and scuffed tan hides to perfection.
I highly recommend his professional work.

We had Scott Donovan from Fibrenew come to our office to clean/repair some leather office chairs that had scuffs from hitting the bottom of the conference room table, blue pen stains and big dark marks where dye from people's clothes had transferred onto the pale beige leather.

It took Scott most of the day to clean/repair the 9 chairs, but we are thrilled with the results.  The chairs look almost as good as new.  I'm happy, my boss is happy, and we'll be calling Scott the next time we have chairs that need attention.

In addition, Scott was nice and easy to work with.  He had everything he needed and was ready to get started right away.

One note - the machinery he uses to fix the chairs is a little noisy so I would recommend doing this on a day when you don't have a lot of people in the office, or in a conference room or something.  

Highly recommended.

C S.

So, my 3 year old daughter being a true, busy little toddler, spilled red paint on my fabric sofa cushion.  I searched the internet and found Fibrenew!  I sent an email with a picture of the spot and received a response very quickly!  The spot is gone and we are very pleased with the committment Scott had to removing the spot. We would highly recommend Fibrenew for your upholstery cleaning needs : )

I got my leather furniture restoration here and it was really a good choice. My stuff looks like brand new now. Thanks Fibrenew!

James U.

I had a great experience with Fibrenew Bay Area leather  repairs. The office team responded to my on-line inquiry the same day. Scott came to my house for a consultation and was punctual, professional and knowledgeable. He quickly diagnosed the problem that I was having with several leather pieces and was able to help me come up with cost-effective solutions. I highly recommend Fibrenew.

I have an older Subaru which had serious cracking and flaking on the dashboard. I had tried two other places and they would not even try to fix it. Scott worked hard to perfectly blend the color and texture. It now looks like new. Highly recommend this service.

L Palmer, San Leandro

My sofa had water damage from a move. It was a verrrrrry expensive piece of furniture and not a common color. The technician came to my home and spent 3.5 hours and made the piece look perfect! I did not think they would be able to do such a great job. The technician was very professional, he took his job/art very seriously. The cost was veryyyyyy reasonable! I would trust them with anything leather!

Judy G.

When my fiancée and I moved into our new place, I had a 5-year old furniture microfiber furniture set (sofa, chair, ottoman) that needed some cleaning. She also had a chair that we considered for re-upholstery but we thought we'd give cleaning a shot.

I was referred to Scott Donovan who runs the Bay Area franchise of Fibrenew through his associate in another district.

The experience was nothing but seamless. Not only did some blood stains and undefinable dirt come out of our furniture, but it looked so clean that some of our guests thought we had just bought it. Also dealing with Scott was a pleasure, he quoted me over email based on some photos I sent, and the whole appointment was set up by email. He showed up as promised, and stuck to his time and cost estimate. A true pleasure to deal with a true professional.

Highly recommended to get imbue your furniture with fresh life. For a couple of hundred bucks this is an absolute no-brainer.
