Sofas and armchairs around a fireplace in a residents' clubhouse

Every kind of building

No two lobbies age alike

A lobby absorbs parcels, strollers, dogs and moving crews, and each type of building wants something different from it. Older brick buildings and converted mills in Hartford or New Haven usually want their original leather and wood kept, not swapped out. Newer condos along the shoreline or in Stamford have a designed lobby where every item must fit the scheme. Clubhouses in 55-and-over communities see heavier daily use than most lobbies. Residential lobby furniture repair begins with what the association wants to keep.

Older buildingsOriginal leather and wood worth keeping.

Newer condosEvery item tied to the design scheme.

ClubhousesHeavier daily use than a lobby.

Inside a lobby

Six items, six separate jobs

A lobby is seldom one material, and an association always spots the single item that does not match.

**Sofas**Seat cushions and armrests wear first

**Footstools**Round tops sewn in segments

**Concierge seating**Occupied from open to close

Questions

Residential Lobby FAQ

How is residential lobby furniture repair priced?

Per building, worked out from your pictures, with an option and a figure for every item. There is no flat rate card.

Can we hold on to our original lobby furniture?

In most cases. The majority of lobby pieces need a fix or a color refresh rather than replacement.

Will a fixed item match the others?

Yes. Color, grain and sheen are matched to the pieces sitting beside it.

Do you handle wood consoles and side tables?

Yes. Scratches, glass rings and loose joints are mended and refinished.
