Three jobs, three different payers
Stores hand us three types of work that look the same once a piece is on our bench. A floor sample with scuffs, paid for by the store. A piece hurt in delivery, paid for by the carrier or through a claim. And a warranty repair, paid for by the maker. The fix itself may be identical across all three; the records are not. Picking the payer after the fact is how a twenty-minute repair turns into a three-week fight over an invoice. That is why our opening question on a store job is never about the damage. We ask who pays.
Showroom, delivery and after the sale
Furniture repair for furniture stores CT retailers send our way usually falls into these four groups, and a different person signs off the bill for each one.
A showroom sample is not a delivered sofa
Put simply, a floor sample only has to hold up to shoppers looking and sitting for a minute. A sofa in a customer’s living room has to hold up for ten years. Those are separate jobs, and they should not carry the same price.
Showroom standard

Retailers, carriers and insurers
If the carrier is paying, the record-keeping rules are on the moving companies page. If a claim is open and someone wants an opinion on whether a piece can be restored rather than a price, see the insurance companies page. The repair work itself is leather repair and wood repair.
Furniture Repair for Furniture Stores CT FAQ
Questions retailers ask about trade repair.
Can you send the bill straight to the manufacturer?
Yes, for warranty work, following their process. With furniture repair for furniture stores CT shops send us, the usual problem is that the payer got picked after the work instead of before it.
How do pieces get to you?
In batches, on dates set around your floor changes and deliveries, so the showroom never loses everything at once.
Does a floor sample get the same treatment as a customer piece?
No, and the price should differ. A floor sample has to look good; a delivered piece has to hold up. We will ask which you need.
Can you review a warranty claim before we agree to anything?
Yes. You get an assessment with photos, even when the honest finding is that it is not a warranty issue.
What about damage found on delivery day?
Photograph it the same day and send it over. The date on that record decides who absorbs the loss.
