Came to my home to replace the driver seat and back leather fabric. Completed task in 3 hours. Heated seats and power seats work fine. The replacement looks better than the original. Thank you.

John Park

From:

Bill was out today and did a great job of reparing our Subaru seat. I highly recommend him! Easy to schedule (he comes to you), great communication and explanation of his service and fee (very reasonable). Plus he's a fabulous Augustana College alum! 😉
The seat looks even better today since it's had more time to dry. The after photo was taken on a sunny day which explains the color difference...

Prompt service, .remarkable workmanship and a great company to work with. I highly recommend this company. Thanks so much Bill.!

Robert Helle

From:

Our dog ripped our favorite leather couch. We were devastated and thought that we had to purchase a brand new couch. That is until I heard of fibernew in palatine. Bill came out and looked at the couch and quickly came up with an estimate to fix it. He came a few weeks later and started the work. He patched the rather large rip and spent hours in order to match the color perfectly to the rest of the couch. The final work looks absolutely wonderful and you would be hard-pressed to find the damaged area!

Thank you Bill. My family and I will definitely be calling you for additional work!

Sergey Rubin

From:

My experience with Bill and Fibrenew was great. Bill was a pleasure to deal with; he was quick with an estimate, quick to schedule an on site appraisal, quick to get the job done. Most importantly, the work he did on my leather chair was excellent; I couldn't have been more satisfied. Would definitely recommend this technician and company!

Very professional.
End product looked like new.

David Gordon

From:

Nothing but a positive experience with Fibrenew Palatine. Bill quickly replied to my request for a quote, showed up on time for the appointment and made the repair to my car seat at a very reasonable price. The repair is virtually invisible and if you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't know it's there.

Bill is the best! He is a true craftsman and expert at leather transformation. He repaired my leather sofa back to it's original state. I would highly recommend Bill for all your leather needs!

Margo Samp

From:

Bill did a very nice job re-dying a large spot (which had significant fading) on my leather chair. It blends well, and I doubt anyone could guess how different/bad it looked before his artistry. Now I'm proud to have this chair in my home! Bill is very responsive, on time, and a super nice guy.

Marianne Cummings

From:

Bill is the absolute best! Very professional and clearly knows what he’s doing. He fixed our couch when the frame broke, restuffed it to bring some life back to it and just now retrieved a ring that had fallen between the tiny section of the couch and armrest that no hand could possibly fit through yet everything else gets sucked into that vortex. Thanks Bill! You are definitely my go to guy and will use you again in the not too distant future!

Jen, Palatine, IL

Bill does fantastic work. He repaired the arms of our desk chair, when I thought we were going to be stuck. He is very prompt and communicates thru the whole process. I strongly recommend his service and will always pick his company as my first choice. Nothing better than repairs that look like brand new.

Leslie O'Connell

From:

Great communication and very friendly. Wonderful job on the repair. Thank you!

Frank M.

From:

I left a pen on my brand new leather seat in my car the pen exploded on the middle of the seat and sat on it (in the sun) for 2 days. I tried everything, I found Bill and contacted him he came at our convenience to my home and was very professional and obviously knew what he was doing. I was a little nervous to have my almost new Camry's seat dyed, but when it was finished I was so excited to see it look like brand new. I will definitely be back for any needs I may have in the future, Thank you so much!!!

Mike and Sue

Susan Zafirakopoulos, Hoffman Estates IL

Our Couch is over 40 years old. A family hand-me-down that looked very tired. It would cost over $10 grand to replace the couch and chair in the same quality and makemanship. This was under $1 grand. They look brand new. They were re-died, repaired (new stuffing to firm the cushions up) and look fantastic. Very nice in home service. I would highly recommend checking into this before you toss out your favorite leather furniture. Amazing!! Thank you Fibrenew!

Geri Echols

From:

Great, job our couch looks like brand new.

Richard Battaglia

From:

Jim Vinci

From:

Bill was very open with his initial concerns about the restoration work I engaged him to do on my 2004 Tbird. I appreciated his candor, but appreciated even more the final result. The driver seat, steering wheel and gear shift handle look like they did when I bought the car. Highly recommend!

Fibrenew Palatine and Bill Bedsole exceeded all expectations. I have an older pontoon boat that for 11 year’s old is still looking pretty good except for a couple seats, Bill did an unbelievable job making them look like new again, I really feel like I have a nice boat again and I will absolutely depend on him again in the future as I’m sure in time they will all need to be restored. Bill is a pleasure to work with, VERY PLEASED!

RICK ROBE

From:

Fibrenew does the best work on furniture repairs. I thought my couch was done for, but Bill from Fibrenew came by for a quote and explained that he could fix it, and what needed to be done to repair the broken middle seat on our 3-piece sofa.

Sharon Schultz

From:

Fabulous in-home service, especially during Covid Lockdown. My two 20-year-old leather couches now look better than brand new after Bill's repairs of the busted frame, broken springs, and flattened padding. The replacement cushions feel soft as butter. He expertly dyed the new and old parts of each piece, blending the colors beautifully, back to the original look. A nice clean, organized, conscientious, and thorough job all around. I was happy to pay for his outstanding workmanship.

Carolyn Churchill

From:

Bill was professional and friendly. He did a great job matching color and repairing multiple issues we had with the Vinyl seats on our boat. It is a great alternative to Replacing all the vinyl, and much more affordable. Bill assured me that the repairs would last. I feel this was the best way to go.

Kevin Higgins

From:

Consulted with Bill on a tough steering wheel restoration situation. He took the time to explain how he could help and what other options I could explore.

We saved his phone number and will definitely contact him directly next time.

Bill was wonderful to work with. He was extremely helpful and very patient in choosing the right fabric to redo my dining room chairs.

I had an issue with damage to a chair that was under an extended warranty. Bill was very professional and completed the repair in a timely manner. He answered any questions I had--and took his time to ensure that the work was done correctly. I have forwarded his contact information to other family members because I know that he will do a great job!

Barbara McQuillan, Mount Prospect, Il

I was recommended to Fibrenew by a leather repair shop in Wheeling, IL. From start to finish Bill was very helpful in explaining the process and what his recommendations were. His work can be done either inside or out so there is flexibility where you would want the job done. When the work was completed our sofa looked amazing! It's 15 years old but looks like new. I would recommend anyone who need to refurbish a leather chair/sofa to use Fibrenew!

Thanks again Bill!

Chris L.

Very impressed with Bill's quick response to give me an estimate. Two chairs to my dining room set had cracked, one of which I was sure was a lost cause. Also needed a chair back cushion to be restuffed as well as a recliner which needed more stuffing in the lumbar area. Bill was able to save my chairs and completed all repairs within just a few days. I wouldn't think of using anyone else in the future.

Ginny Davis, Rolling Meadows

Highly recommend this company. Bill is very friendly, quick to respond and fair priced. LOVE that he comes to your home vs. bringing to him !

Nancy Post

Bill is EXTREMELY polite and professional. He did a GREAT job adding stuffing to our couch to make it firmer and much more comfortable to sit on. I would highly recommend Bill if you need any work to give new life to your older couch!

Bill Oliver

From:

I borrowed my daughter’s car to take my dogs to the kennel and when I returned home I noticed a puncture hole and a 4 inch gash in the leather upholstery, along with several deep scratches! I contacted Fibrenew and talked to the owner, Bill Bedsole on the phone. He came to my house that afternoon, gave me an estimate and came back the next day to do the repair. The repair is absolutely amazing! There is no sign of the hole or gash or scratches! In fact the upholstery looks brand new! Great job, Bill! I highly recommend you and your company!

Helen B, Hoffman Estates, IL

We just had our leather couch repaired by Fibrenew.Bill the owner was very professional and did a great, great job!! We couldn't be happier..The cost was extremely reasonable for the work done. Won"t have to worry about buying a new couch anytime soon thanks to Fibrenew!!!

Tom Dattalo

From:

Thanks to Bill, the cushion from my late grandmother’s chair has been restored! The piece has great sentimental value to me and I was devastated to think it may have been ruined. The service was impeccable and Bill managed to get out multiple marks on the cushions the same day I gave it to him. I highly recommend using Fibrenew to tend to any upholstery damage or upholstery updates you may have.

Lauren

From:

Bill was great. We had our black leather couch and kitchen chairs which turned our wonderful. Would definitely use again. I was a little unsure about the color selection of our kitchen chairs and they tuned out wonderful. Our leather couch was redyed. I would strongly recommend this route versus spending the money on a new couch. Reasonable prices. Thank you again Bill!

LAWRWS

From:

Really happy with the quality of service and attentiveness of Bill. Table leather replacement look great, has held up very well these last couple of months. Bill came out to pick up and drop off and even adjust the table again for the headrest to re-insert into the table. Highly recommended.

Nicholas Lorenz, DN Naprapath

From:

I highly recommend this company!  Bill did a great job with my scratched leather seat in my car.  He is very methodical in matching the color and workmanship is high quality.  He is very nice and professional, a rare combination to find these days.

Rj K.

Pretty happy with this place so far.  Bill repaired some dining room chairs for us this week and it looks great.  I have a car seat repair next week, so we'll see how that goes,  but seems very professional

William B.

I was a first time customer, service was great! Bill came out the next day. He arrived right on my scheduled time. My red vinyl couch had a tear and a couple of scratches. He gave me a price which I accepted and he started to work. He called me to look at color match before he went further and it was perfect! When it was all done I could not tell that it was ever ripped and it was as good as new! I highly recommend this company! I never had anything like this repaired and was very very pleased. Thank you!
