Company History

Leatherhelp.com is not just a recent startup, it is the culmination of 45 years in the trenches in the leather related services industry.  My dad John Repp (pictured at the right) along with a group of other people started New Life Service Company in New York in the early1970’s.  They worked to develop the early skills and chemicals necessary for leather cleaning, repairs and refinishing.  Some years later the original group spread throughout the country with Dad settling in southern Pa.  He has faithfully practiced his trade, run New Life Service Co., and provided for his family ever since.

At 10 years old, I (pictured left) spent the summer carrying buckets, cleaning up after him and learning the trade for myself.  Through high-school and college, I continued to learn from my dad working with him part-time.  Then I decided to stay with the company and became a leather repairman full time.

Chris repaired our leather loveseat and it looked great! Unfortunately, within a week the bare spots were showing up again. Chris came back out and redid it. It looks like new! We really appreciate his diligence in coming back and fixing it.

I have been working in the furniture repair business for nearly 30 years and Chris has always been considered the best leather technician in the region. I regularly send my clients that need leather repair to Chris and receive nothing short of glowing reviews about his professionalism and craft. If you need any leather repair he is the man for you!

Chris expertly restored two leather armchairs and ottomans that we received as hand-me-downs from family. After 20 years, the chairs showed sun discoloration and fading, and Chris made them look brand new again. The process was seamless from start to finish, very easy to communicate with and get a quote, and simple to schedule. Would highly recommend!

Chris and his son was very professional and matched the color on my couch perfectly. The color was hard to match, but Chris did an excellent job and I am so pleased with the results.

Chris is a man with attention to detail! When the movers I hired made a nice big gash on the side of my grey leather recliner, Chris repaired the gash and made it look like nothing happened. His detail oriented mindset made sure to get the repair just right to match the unique design within the leather. If you need a repair involving leather furniture, Chris is the guy you need!

Chris repaired a seam that pulled apart and took out scratches on a leather chaise lounge. He took his time, paid attention to details and did a great job. Highly recommend.
