How To Determine If Its Worth Restoring My Furniture

To Restore Or Not To Restore? You’ve got that old leather couch or high quality (be it old) fabric chair that needs to be replaced. Or maybe you’ve found a wonderful piece at a vintage shop that is begging you to take it home to refinish it. Easy and affordable right? Maybe… consider your options.

To Restore Or Not To Restore

You’ve got that old leather couch or high quality (be it old) fabric chair that needs to be replaced. Or maybe you’ve found a wonderful piece at a vintage shop that is begging you to take it home to refinish it. Easy and affordable right?

Before undergoing the journey of such furniture repair you need to ask yourself a few key questions:

  1. What would the replacement cost be vs. restoring it? (might take some homework)

  2. What type of fabric is it?

  3. What is the furniture worth? This usually includes a sentimental value as much as a monetary value.

How To Determine If Its Worth Restoring My Furniture

Material

Let’s get into material. Usually the piece you are looking to restore is leather (in most cases) Is it genuine leather or is it bonded leather? If the top layer of the leather furniture is flaking and peeling away, then chances are likely that you have bonded leather. Bonded leather isn’t real leather so unfortunately its rather disposable and can not be repaired.

Bonded leather is actually bits of leather sprayed over vinyl. The top side of the vinyl is then stamped and colored to have a leather-like look.

If you’ve determined that you have genuine leather furniture, then you do have some repair options. There are many furniture cleaners and protectors on the market that home-owners can try themselves to repair dirty surfaces, stains rips and tears.

** Pro Tips - If you are in the market for new leather furniture you may want to consult our article about “Top Questions To Ask Before Buying Leather Furniture

Replacement cost

You probably have already done the math… what is your time and money worth when considering attempting to repair furniture vs. buying brand new. For some, they simply don’t have the time so nearly everything in their lives becomes disposable. But for others, the value of restoring something has a special place. Then cost becomes the only factor.

If cost of replacement is a concern but also time and money spent on on a DIY solution concerns you, then that’s when you should seek a professional. At Color Glo, we offer up to a 70% savings in restoration vs buying new. A CGI specialist will come on-site (so you don’t have to haul your item anywhere) and they’ll work to asses the damage, color match the material and apply special techniques to restore the area back to new.

Leather Care Tips

If you’ve recently bought new leather furniture, you may want to fuel up on some knowledge on how to take care of your furniture to avoid repairs and long-term wear. To learn more, view this article on “How To Care For Leather Furniture”.

Mobile Repair Service Helps Boat Owners Get Sailing

If you’re like the people of our home state of Minnesota, you like your boats. But boating season brings repairs - let a Color Glo Specialist come to your for upholstery, vinyl, leather and plastic repair.

Behold It Is Boating Season

If you’re like the people of our home state of Minnesota, you like your boats. Boating is a family and friends activity that is shared worldwide and due to COVID-19; it has been partially on hold for many boat owners. Restrictions on public docks and slips and as well as the availability of boat repair shops have slowed down the process of hitting the water.

Mobile repair service helps boat owners get sailing

Many people who have private docks or the ability to put in someplace have had the lake itch and went out as soon as humanly possible. And after slathering on sunscreen, packing up your clothing and water gear, the last thing you want to encounter at the dock is a problem with your boat that puts the family fun on hold.

But, if you’re one of the 12 million registered boat owners in the United States, then you know there’s a price to relaxing on the water. Boats require frequent maintenance and upkeep. Most boat owners find that annual maintenance costs add up to about 10 percent of the cost of the boat.

Upholstery maintenance

In addition to the boat’s engine and electrical components, one of the top items to maintain on any watercraft is the canvas and upholstery. Color Glo International offers on-site repair services for a quick and convenient solution to get you out of the marina and back on the water.

High-stress areas

One area of the boat that often gets overlooked is that back seat section or rear of the boat. It really depends what you use your boat for, but if recreation is its purpose then you are the target customer for repair services in this area. People stepping on the back seats and rear deck after tubing, water skiing or cock-tailing on floaties can cause serious wear and tear. Stepping on cushions can cause a lot of direct stress to the seat and its coating. You just might find them to be cracked and in need of repair right now as you are sliding into the lake.

Damage by winter visitors

It’s possible you haven’t noticed more hidden damage. Mice are an issue we are finding regularity with our boat owners. And though mice can literally chew through wires, harnesses, tubing and other important electrical elements, the most common issue we find after winter storage is damage to cushions. They find their way into the filling and take up residence for the colder months leaving you with, well... expense. 

Though it will really depend on the peice and the damage, but generally speaking a Color Glo restoration specialist can bring your marine leather, vinyl and cushion back to life for 70% - 90% cheaper than buying new. And we come to you! 

Just check out these before & after pics.

Sun-fading

The sun can damage and fade your boat’s upholstery, making it look worn and tired. CGI Specialists are trained to expertly repair and re-dye tears. They can fix holes, scuffs and scratches too, even cigarette burns, punctures and more. Their restoration techniques can refresh the appearance of your boat and make it look like it did when you first set sail.

We’re not just about boats

Though this is the boating season, Color Glo International onsite repair services cover so much more. Make that old boat, camper or RV look like new again! Color Glo can Restore, Repair, Clean as well as renew or often change the color of Leather, Vinyl, Cloth, Velour, Woodgrain, Fabric, Hard Plastic & Carpet used on Motorcycles, ATVs, Boats, Jet Skis, Motor Homes, Campers and much more!

Color Glo can restore all the interior of your beautiful and hard earned watercraft and recreational vehicles. Whether it be vinyl, boat carpet or even hard plastic, we can make the interior of your boat look new again. Who knows... you may even find our products make your boat look even better than new!

  • Seats and beds repair.

  • Boat tops restoration.

  • Mildew removal.

  • Woodgrain restoration.

Restoring Pet Damage On Furniture To New

Our furry four-legged children. We love them, we care for them, we can’t live without them. They’re cuddly and cute and they bring happiness into our lives but they can also cause damage to our leather furniture (and elsewhere around the house).

Pet Damage - Yikes!

Our furry four-legged children. We love them, we care for them, we can’t live without them. They’re cuddly and cute and they bring happiness into our lives but they can also cause damage to our leather furniture (and elsewhere around the house).

We get it. Your anger level is likely high after seeing the damage your pet caused to a brand new top-grain leather couch. A couple of things to keep in mind (in the mission to remain at zen) is that your pet(s) will cause far less damage in your home than human children will in your lifetime. ALSO, there are solutions available to restore that expensive leather investment back to new that can keep you from skinning the cat.

There is often no need to replace your damaged furniture as restoring scratches, holes, and tears caused by your furry friends is totally “doable” as well as restoring your love for Fido.

However, this door below may have a different fate….

Dad, look what I did! It was super fun!

Dad, look what I did! It was super fun!

Determine if restoration is an option

The first thing you’ll want to to do is consider a small checklist to see if restoration is a good route to explore. Sometimes, pet damage can be a bit beyond saving, such as the cute doggo in the photo above. Chances are that home will need a brand new door. But this isn’t always the case, especially with furniture.

Here are some tips:

  1. What is the total amount of damage to the furniture? Is it just a few inches or are their tears measured in feet?

  2. What is the type of material the damage is on? This may also help you determine how likely restoration is. For example is your piece genuine leather, bonded leather, or another type of material?

  3. What is the replacement value of the furniture itself? Depending on the quality of the piece of furniture you own, it may be more worthwhile to simply buy new. This would usually only apply to lower-cost furniture solutions not bought at higher-end quality furniture stores. If it is a quality piece, Color Glo specialists can save you hundreds or more by restoring to new.

  4. Lastly, how much do you love your pet? Ok. just kidding… Fido comes first in all of our hearts.

Can I repair the damage myself?

Sure, why not. But is furniture repair a lane that you typically drive-in? Do you want to? When you’ve injured your body and need medical help (such as stitches) do you handle that task yourself or visit a professional? As with nearly all categories, delegating this type of pet damage on furniture to a CGI specialist has its benefits. Especially if you really like your furniture and want to get it back to looking great again.

Your pet’s handiwork can be restored to new for a fraction of the cost and no headache to you. Your time is better spent on larger ticket items in your home or family life.

Sorry…. I love you!

Sorry…. I love you!

How much does it cost?

Subjective question. And asking this question or getting a quote won’t cost you anything so it is worth sizing it up. The cost of pet damage restoration will greatly depend on the type of material and the exact procedures needed for the job. If your issue is not necessarily damage but “odor” then it may be a DIY situation. You can get some great tips and advice in our article How To Remove Pet Odor From Your Furniture.

Most professionals will ask for you to send them photos of the damage so they can assess the situation, then provide you information from there.

A professional service that will eliminate bad odors:

Other Household Checklists

Outside the world of restoration and repair, we feel this list wouldn’t be too helpful if we didn’t acknowledge the other major components of your home. Though these are not areas, CGI works in, they important spring cleaning items that your checklist should include. Some common areas you might want to consider are:

  1. Clean you gutters and downspouts

    1. Clogged gutters and downspouts can cause the wood trim at the eaves to rot, and that can invite all kinds of critters into your attic space.

  2. Reseal exterior woodwork

    1. Wood decks, fences, railings, trellises, pergolas and other outdoor structures will last longer and stay in better condition if they’re stained or resealed every year or two. 

  3. Inspect your roof

    1. Winter storms can take quite a toll on the roof. When spring arrives, start by making a simple visual inspection of your roof. You can do this from the ground - no ladder required. You will know if you see something that doesn’t seem right.

  4. Check for termites or bugs

    1. We often forget about this one, but spring is coming after all. If there’s a bunch of winged insects flying out of a hole in the woodwork, that’s probably termites. Call your guy.

  5. Paint Exterior

    1. If you’re planning to repaint your home’s exterior this year, spring is a good time to set it up and there’s no better time to think through all of your options than during this social distancing time period. If you are worried about choosing colors and this isn’t your “lane”, you can simply call a professional painting company.

  6. Inspect driveways and paths

  7. Inspect sprinkler and irrigation systems

  8. Check your screen doors and windows

  9. Schedule air conditioning HVAC service

  10. Get rid of mosquitoes

    1. Walk around your property, paying close attention to your neighbor properties as well. If you see anything or any area where water stands, fix it, tip it, get rid of it or maintain it regularly. Mosquitoes love water.

My leather furniture was badly faded from sun exposure. I called Copenhagen West and asked if there was anything I could do, and they referred me to Chris with Color Glo. I was skeptical that he would be able to do much, but he got my furniture looking brand new again! I had called another company to compare bids and they wanted to take my furniture for two weeks and charge me a lot more. Chris did the work in my home in one day.

My husband and I have two leather chairs and ottomans that were an anniversary present to one another nearly twenty years ago. They had seen some wear and tear with kids and pets, but were still worth a face lift, especially with their sentimental value. With an upcoming move, we also needed to change the color of the furniture. Joe worked very hard to change our navy blue chairs and ottomans to a shade of maroon that works perfectly with other furniture and an area rug we will be using in our new home.
