Leather Repair & Restoration
Serving Fort Lee, NYC & the Tri‑State Area
Leather ages beautifully — but only when it’s cared for properly. At First Class MasterCraft, we restore everything from cracked armrests to sun‑faded cushions, bringing your leather back to life without full replacement. Whether it’s a vintage club chair, a modern sectional, or a luxury car interior, we repair, recolor, and rebuild leather with precision and craftsmanship
All leather restoration is completed in our two in‑house facilities: our Fort Lee upholstery workshop and our West Nyack CNC fabrication shop. Nothing is outsourced — every repair, dye blend, and panel replacement is performed by our multi‑generational team with American craftsmanship and care.
