Pet Damage on Furniture: What Can Be Repaired
Pets are part of the family, but they can be hard on your furniture. Claw scratches, chewed corners, and stains can make a good piece look ruined. Before you start shopping for a replacement, Furniture Fresh can take a look and let you know what is actually fixable right in your home.
Common Types of Pet Damage
- Claw scratches on wood surfaces or upholstered fabric
- Chewed corners, legs, or armrests
- Stains and lingering odors from accidents
- Torn fabric or punctured leather from claws and teeth
- Loosened joints from pets jumping or scratching repeatedly
What Can Be Repaired
A lot of pet damage can be repaired without replacing the whole piece. Surface scratches on wood, small tears in fabric, and chewed edges are often fixable. Our technicians look at the type of material and the extent of the damage to figure out the best approach. Many problems that look bad turn out to be very treatable.
Some damage is more involved. Deep gouges, large tears, or structural issues from repeated jumping may need a closer look. In those cases, our team will give you an honest assessment before any work starts. Our technicians would rather be straight with you than overpromise.
The best way to know is to have someone look at it in person. Our technicians can evaluate the damage, explain what is possible, and let you decide what makes sense for your furniture and your budget.
How Our Technicians Handle Pet Damage
The process starts with an in-home inspection. Our technicians examine the piece, identify the type of damage, and figure out what needs to be done. There is a $75 inspection fee, and if you choose to have the work done the same day, that fee is credited toward your repair.
From there, our team gets to work. For wood furniture, our technicians sand out scratches, fill chewed areas, and refinish the surface to blend with the original finish. For upholstered pieces, they patch small tears and reinforce worn spots. For leather, they color-match and patch damage so the repair blends in as cleanly as possible.
All of the work is done right in your home. Our technicians bring the tools and materials needed to handle the job. When they are finished, they clean up and leave your furniture looking better than they found it. No need to haul anything anywhere or wait weeks for a shop.
