Today I had Bill come over and repair a door panel on my car and I could not be any happier how the job turned out. Bill and Aaron worked neatly and professionally, and the cost was much lower than other places quoted. I searched the web for hours until I found his business. Thank you, Bill, for showing up right on time and doing a perfect job.
We had a Lazy-Boy top of the line 3-seat recliner sofa purchased in 2017. One of the seats received hours of use every day and by mid-2025 showed considerable wear. Our previous 5-star upholsterer that we had used before for fabric problems was unavailable but recommended us to Bill Bedsole at FibreNew -Palatine. Bill called us immediately, examined the photos we sent him and, based on his preliminary quote visited us for a final estimate which was very reasonable. The job was done in 2 weeks and looks like new - we can say that because we can compare the worn seat to the other two seats and they are identical. Bill is polite, clean and very knowledgeable. He will be our go-to guy for our next leather problem.
Our sofa repair turned out beautifully. The color match is amazing and no one can tell where the tears were. This is the second time that we have used Fibrenew and will definitely use them again if needed.
Bill did an outstanding job redyeing and replacing a leather cushion on my family room sofa. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were exceptional—the color match was perfect, and the cushion matched beautifully! He was professional, skilled, and took the time to ensure everything was done with care. I truly appreciate his expertise and the quality of his work. If you need any leather repair or restoration, I highly recommend Fibrenew in Palatine.
The website provides a lot of information. but what I liked the most is that when you request a quote you can upload pictures to get a more accurate estimate. They called me the next day and were here early. They looked at my sofa and updated the estimate a little. Bill was friendly and professional. and they fixed it the same day !!! They price seemed very reasonable for me. I asked them for a quote to fix the front seat of my minivan. let's see how that goes 🙂
Bill was very professional, fair with pricing and timely with his response! I reached out to Bill at 3pm and my ottoman was fixed by 10am the next morning. Would HIGHLY recommend!
Bill was prompt, courteous and professional. The hassock looks perfect and was reasonably priced. It was delivered when promised. I would certainly recommend Bill to anyone I. Need if furniture repair.
I had a stain on a nubuck leather chair. First awesome thing was that Bill called me back, other companies did not. He was very informative about the problem with my chair and kept in contact about setting up an appointment. I would highly recommend Bill and Fibrenew Palatine.
I had my couch cushions reshuffled. Love them. Bill and assistant was punctual and professional. Within an hour it was like I had a new couch
Bill and Eric did. Fantastic job on our Sofa and Chairs. They refinished the leather perfectly, and added foam to a cloth chair as well. Highly recommend Fibranew Palatine!
Bill and Aaron from Fibernew were extremely knowledgeable about the steps involved with redying our sofas. Their water-based method proved to be very successful, as the finished product looked brand new.
Why throw away your old leather furniture when you can have the color restored for a quarter of something new!
Fibernew is the answer!
Had our 2 living room sofas repaired & I am honestly astonished by the color match and quality of this product. Bill & his team were great to work with. Highly recommend! Looks good as NEW!
I'm SO happy we decided to fix the furniture instead of the cost to replace it!
Bill did great work for us. He steam cleaned our white fabric settee that had turned gray over time. Now its back to looking bright white. Fast, quality work at a great price.
The Fibrenew Palatine team did an excellent restore on my M3s steering wheel, torn driver's leather seat, and dyeing my rear seat in one area!!!
Great customer service from the time of setting up appt with Bill through completing repair.
Would highly recommend!
Bill is a super nice guy and does great work! Super easy to work with! I highly recommend his company!!!
I had an insurance claim to get my seat cover fixed or replaced. Fibrenew after seeing it insisted on getting it replaced with the insurance. They replaced the seat cover and did a great job along with great communication.
Very impressed with the Fibrenew team. On first notice, Bill was super friendly and easy to speak with and schedule with throughout the entire process. I have four kids and a dog that ride regularly in my SUV and my seats were victim to that. Bill and his team got all of the staining out and my seats look like new. Super happy with them!
My dog jumped in my car a few weeks ago and really scratched the inside of my door. It was pretty bad. Bill at Fibrenew returned my call right away. I sent him pictures and I got a quote from him within a day or two. We scheduled the day for him to come to my house and make the repair. He and his assistant came this morning and they were done in less than an hour. You can't tell the scratch was even there. Best yet, it was repaired in my driveway!!!
Very nice, very professional, very convenient!
Bill and Erin turned a "well loved" sectional into a brand new piece of furniture! Thanks for a job well done!
Had some minor leather wear and tear that Bill completely took care of. The areas restored look brand new. Bill is a true craftsman at what he does. Amazing work - would highly recommend Bill for and leather/vinyl repair.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+++
It was a total pleasure working with Bill!!! He knows his business inside out. My vinyl siding was damaged and I didn't think it could be repaired . I was wrong! No one will ever notice where the hole was restored. Bill will be my go to guy for any future plastic, leather, and vinyl restorations. Don't hesitate to give Bill a call with your needs. He will not disappoint!
We have a 1997 BMW Z3 Convertible that was starting to show wear on the drivers seat where the seatbelt rubbed. We are thrilled with the results. The car looks showroom new again. Thanks Bill for a great job.
I had spilled something on my center console and it ate away at my vinyl. Fibrenew was able to fix it and it looks like new. I appreciate their expertise and would recommend them 100%!
Bill was fabulous. Friendly & polite. He came on time & was able to complete the necessary job right in my home & left no mess for me to clean up afterwards. He has even done work on my RV furniture previously & it was also exceptionally good work. Bill is the best.
Bill was absolutely wonderful to work with. We had a tear in a seat bolster on our pontoon. He made everything easy from the initial contact. A couple of super fast email exchanges and he was out to make the repair the very next day. He showed up right when he said he would and took care of the repair not only quickly, but also with great precision. The end result was just fantastic. Before and after pics speak for themselves!
We just had our leather couch restored. At first I thought the fee that was quoted was high , but we did the restoration anyway. When Bill returned with the final restoration and we saw the care he took in completing work that had to be done at our house I realized that we really got a bargain and the price was not at all high. I would give Bill the highest recomendation possible because the quality of his work was of the highest level.
We are beyond pleased with the results of restoring the color on our leather recliner! It is an old chair but very high quality leather and so comfortable. As a result, we hated the thought of replacing it. Fibrenew cleaned, conditioned and added color as needed and the chair now looks great! Highly recommend them! And they were as nice and professional as could be!!!!
Came to my home to replace the driver seat and back leather fabric. Completed task in 3 hours. Heated seats and power seats work fine. The replacement looks better than the original. Thank you.
Bill was out today and did a great job of reparing our Subaru seat. I highly recommend him! Easy to schedule (he comes to you), great communication and explanation of his service and fee (very reasonable). Plus he's a fabulous Augustana College alum! 😉
The seat looks even better today since it's had more time to dry. The after photo was taken on a sunny day which explains the color difference...
Professional business with excellent communication and quality service. Job was performed in a timely manner and work was excellent. Would not hesitate to refer to family and friends.
Bill did an amazing job repairing
my leather sofa when coffee spilled and removed the color from the cushion. Obviously it was not aniline dyed all the way through. I had no idea that it could even be repaired! Well, it looks perfect and I am so pleased with the end result.
Prompt service, .remarkable workmanship and a great company to work with. I highly recommend this company. Thanks so much Bill.!
Bill and Aaron did an amazing job. Driver side full seat cover replacement, one bottom seat cover replacement then second row seats dyed to perfection. Everything backnto looking brand new. Hard working guys who did a great job. I highly recommend them if you need any seat work done.
Really nice work and can do it the same day too, price is right. Bill is very communication friendly and will guide you through the process. I would definitely use his service again and would have no problem referring him to other friends and family.
Bill is AMAZING!! My dog put her nail through one of my couch cushions and I had two broken zippers on my leather sectional! Fixed Fixed and Fixed! He is professional, personable, reasonably priced and a perfectionist!!!
Great work I can't believe it was so seamless my seat looks brand new! You sure made it easy coming to my house I loved that too!
Amazing Job!!! Tried to cut and paste before and after pics because i was really impressed with the finished product. Steering wheel to my 2015 Nissan Pathfinder looks brand new. Bill was also helpful with advice on how to keep it looking great for the future. Work done in a very timely and professional manner.
Bill did a great job fixing the split in my car seat. it's as good as new. He was actually early, did the job in the time period as promised and is very friendly. I highly recommend him and this company.
My seats were in such bad shape that I hated going anywhere in my car. Bill at Fibrenew helped me replace my seats and I am thrilled with the results! It literally looks like a brand new car and the price was very reasonable. Bill was great to work with. He was responsive and his estimates on timing were very accurate. I am so happy I made the decision to call Fibrenew!
Asked for quote 2 weeks ago. Never got back to me. I sent him the pictures and the vin. Update :He sent me the quote today after I sent him another email. Quote went to spam folder. Not sure why. My apologies.
Great Service! I would highly recommend Fibernew!! They do as they say! Bill arrived in time and completed the work within the time he promised. No fuss no mess!!
Bill did great work!
Professional and great personality. I will use him again if I need anything!
Our dog ripped our favorite leather couch. We were devastated and thought that we had to purchase a brand new couch. That is until I heard of fibernew in palatine. Bill came out and looked at the couch and quickly came up with an estimate to fix it. He came a few weeks later and started the work. He patched the rather large rip and spent hours in order to match the color perfectly to the rest of the couch. The final work looks absolutely wonderful and you would be hard-pressed to find the damaged area!
Thank you Bill. My family and I will definitely be calling you for additional work!
My experience with Bill and Fibrenew was great. Bill was a pleasure to deal with; he was quick with an estimate, quick to schedule an on site appraisal, quick to get the job done. Most importantly, the work he did on my leather chair was excellent; I couldn't have been more satisfied. Would definitely recommend this technician and company!
Fibrenew Palatine has been so easy and professional to work with. They are knowledgeable, on time, polite, respectful. Most importantly they successfully worked with me to clean and restore the leather on 4 pieces of furniture for me, one a challenging leather. I would recommend them without hesitation!
Bill is very professional.
Communicates well before, during and after the service.
100% quality repair at a fair price.
Will definitely use his services again, and also recommend him to others.
I would recommend Fibrenew to the many auto owners who have upholstery needs. Work is excellent with a quick turnaround time. The highlight is...work can be done at your home. You do not have to drop off your car. Bill came to my place of work to make the initial evaluation and completed the job at my home. 5 stars across-the-board!
Bill was great! I had a tear in the seam of an 18 month old leather sectional. Fibrenew called me on a Sunday and was able to come out the following Wednesday. Looks perfect! Very prompt, professional, & courteous.
Bill was great to work with! He got us an estimate and set up the appointment quickly and did a tremendous job. He was kind, professional and does incredible work. We will be using him again for sure!
Bill did excellent work, the quality is top-notch! The driver's seat of my 2006 Ford 500 looks brand new, and the color match is good.
I'm impressed with the finished product of my dash restoration, but even more impressed with the commitment to get it right to my satisfaction. All I had to say was that I was not 100% satisfied with the first attempt, and Fibrenew research the process and restored it to perfection. Thank you for a job well done.
Bill was great and did an awesome job. He found spots that even I missed and took care of them as part of the current scope. His attention to detail is unmatched! Very trustworthy business! I highly recommend Bill and his team!
The leather steering wheel of my 20 year old Honda need restoration from years of use. Bill from Fibrenew Palatine did an excellent job in the restoration! So much so that I asked Bill to repair two leather sofas in my living room. He did a great job with the sofas, too! Bill is friendly, professional, and his prices are reasonable. I highly recommend Fibrenew Palatine for leather care, repair, and restoration.
Bill repaired a motor on my sofa. He was prompt, efficient and knowledgeable, and on time. He earned my respect. I would recommend his services.
Thanks so much for your excellent customer service and expertise! Our favorite leather recliner is as good as new. Bill was very easy to work with, quick, and responsive. This is our second time working with Fibernew. We highly recommend Bill and Fibernew!
Bill did fantastic job. On time, quick work, very nice. Our ottoman is better than new. Highly recommend!

I would recommend Fibrenew Palatine to everyone! Bill did a wonderful job restoring our 18 year old leather chair. It looks brand new again! Bill was friendly and professional! Thanks!!! Jill Henning
Wow! I am beyond thrilled with the results. Our couch looks brand new again. Bill was a pleasure to work with. Thank you for your expertise!
It was a pleasure having Bill in our home. He was knowledge, efficient and friendly. If another needs arises, I will certainly be calling him for help.
Had a repair needed on the backseat of one of our vehicles. Bill was able to respond quickly and even came out to our office to do the repair so it didn't interrupt our work flow. Highly recommend!!
Bill did a great job! Our couch and loveseat are like new, and the color match was perfect. Bill is highly professional, friendly, and follows through on his commitments. I would highly recommend him, you can trust your furniture or other items with him.
Bill repaired our vinyl couch and did a fabulous job. We can't even see his repair. Bill was great to work with, we settled on a date and a time and he was there. He worked quickly and cleaned up afterwards. He even helped us put furniture sliders under the couch. Thanks Bill.

Nothing but a positive experience with Fibrenew Palatine. Bill quickly replied to my request for a quote, showed up on time for the appointment and made the repair to my car seat at a very reasonable price. The repair is virtually invisible and if you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't know it's there.
Bill is the best! He is a true craftsman and expert at leather transformation. He repaired my leather sofa back to it's original state. I would highly recommend Bill for all your leather needs!
Bill did a very nice job re-dying a large spot (which had significant fading) on my leather chair. It blends well, and I doubt anyone could guess how different/bad it looked before his artistry. Now I'm proud to have this chair in my home! Bill is very responsive, on time, and a super nice guy.
Bill is the absolute best! Very professional and clearly knows what he’s doing. He fixed our couch when the frame broke, restuffed it to bring some life back to it and just now retrieved a ring that had fallen between the tiny section of the couch and armrest that no hand could possibly fit through yet everything else gets sucked into that vortex. Thanks Bill! You are definitely my go to guy and will use you again in the not too distant future!
Bill does fantastic work. He repaired the arms of our desk chair, when I thought we were going to be stuck. He is very prompt and communicates thru the whole process. I strongly recommend his service and will always pick his company as my first choice. Nothing better than repairs that look like brand new.
Our dental chair had a small tear in the leather. Bill fixed it with a perfect color match. The repair is invisible! Use him confidently.
Bill of Fibrenew does awesome work. He refinished our entire family room couch and now it looks like it did when we purchased it.
I left a pen on my brand new leather seat in my car the pen exploded on the middle of the seat and sat on it (in the sun) for 2 days. I tried everything, I found Bill and contacted him he came at our convenience to my home and was very professional and obviously knew what he was doing. I was a little nervous to have my almost new Camry's seat dyed, but when it was finished I was so excited to see it look like brand new. I will definitely be back for any needs I may have in the future, Thank you so much!!!

Our Couch is over 40 years old. A family hand-me-down that looked very tired. It would cost over $10 grand to replace the couch and chair in the same quality and makemanship. This was under $1 grand. They look brand new. They were re-died, repaired (new stuffing to firm the cushions up) and look fantastic. Very nice in home service. I would highly recommend checking into this before you toss out your favorite leather furniture. Amazing!! Thank you Fibrenew!
I called with a request of a cell phone being stuck in a leather chair. Bill recognized this requires a timely response and was able to fit me within his schedule the same day. He quickly diagnosed the repairs needed. We were very pleased with Bill's work. Saved us from having to purchase a new chair. I highly recommend this service to anyone needing furniture repair.
Fibrenew is the best in the business. Bill is our go to and he always exceeds our expectations each time. Appreciate what they have done for us over the years, we are lifers for sure.
My wife and I have used Bill's services several times, and each time the result was incredible. Our couch and chairs had sustained some damage due to our dog jumping on and lying down on them. If you are looking for a furniture doctor, he is your man! Your damaged furniture will look like new again. Bill is prompt, polite, and professional, and you will not be disappointed!!
Bill was very open with his initial concerns about the restoration work I engaged him to do on my 2004 Tbird. I appreciated his candor, but appreciated even more the final result. The driver seat, steering wheel and gear shift handle look like they did when I bought the car. Highly recommend!
He came to my place of work and was able to complete the job on a timely fashion other minimum inconvenience and maximum satisfactory results.
I’m impressed with the finished product of my dash restoration, but even more impressed with the commitment to get it right to my satisfaction. All I had to say was that I was not 100% satisfied with the first attempt, and Fibrenew research the process and restored it to perfection. Thank you for a job well done.
Great service! Bill came right to the house and repaired two leather couches for us. They look like new - great experience!
We were amazed with the results. Bill saved our couches that we love and wanted to continue to us. Now they are like new in everyday. Plus Bill was terrific to work with. If I could give 10 stars I would. Great work, great value.
Fibrenew Palatine and Bill Bedsole exceeded all expectations. I have an older pontoon boat that for 11 year’s old is still looking pretty good except for a couple seats, Bill did an unbelievable job making them look like new again, I really feel like I have a nice boat again and I will absolutely depend on him again in the future as I’m sure in time they will all need to be restored. Bill is a pleasure to work with, VERY PLEASED!
Fibrenew does the best work on furniture repairs. I thought my couch was done for, but Bill from Fibrenew came by for a quote and explained that he could fix it, and what needed to be done to repair the broken middle seat on our 3-piece sofa. Bill fixed the seat and the couch looks and feels like brand new! Highly recommend Fibrenew Palatine!
Bill is the best at what he does. You should be done looking now. The customer service and quality speak for themselves.
Fibrenew Palatine repaired some mends in the leather of my vehicle. Prompt, courteous and great customer service all around (not to mention they come to you to fix:) Highly recommend!
Bill was terrific and our very expensive gray leather recliner looks like new. I highly recommend Fibrenew for you leather restoration.
Fabulous in-home service, especially during Covid Lockdown. My two 20-year-old leather couches now look better than brand new after Bill's repairs of the busted frame, broken springs, and flattened padding. The replacement cushions feel soft as butter. He expertly dyed the new and old parts of each piece, blending the colors beautifully, back to the original look. A nice clean, organized, conscientious, and thorough job all around. I was happy to pay for his outstanding workmanship.
Bill was professional and friendly. He did a great job matching color and repairing multiple issues we had with the Vinyl seats on our boat. It is a great alternative to Replacing all the vinyl, and much more affordable. Bill assured me that the repairs would last. I feel this was the best way to go.
Consulted with Bill on a tough steering wheel restoration situation. He took the time to explain how he could help and what other options I could explore. Very professional and easy to work with, will not hesitate to reach out to Fibrenew with any restoration questions/projects in the future. Don't replace, renew!
Very professional great cost and dog friendly!! What more could you ask for! Bill was a fantastic guy and if we ever need repairs in the future he will be our go to! You will not be disappointed with him.
They come to you so you don't have to rent a truck or pay shipping costs. Bill was very prompt and professional. He returned our calls the same day. He came to our home for a free estimate and measurements, made excellent recommendations, ordered the materials and came back to repair our couches. We are very happy with the results. We saved his phone number and will definitely contact him directly next time.
Bill was wonderful to work with. He was extremely helpful and very patient in choosing the right fabric to redo my dining room chairs. He was excellent at communicating with me the progress of the work and delivered them back to me as needed. His prices were more than fair and the work was great. I would use him again and recommend him to someone needing this type of service.
Bill was great to work with ! He came to the house and did a outstanding job on color matching a worn area of a leather sofa arm .
He also repaired a worn area in the drivers seat of my car. I give him Five STARS !!!
Bill was very friendly, timely and did an amazing job at getting a large amount of olive oil out of our carpet! You cannot even tell it was there!!! I highly recommend Bill!!!
Bill gave me an estimate based on some photos I sent. He was on time, informative, friendly and so far the work looks great. He helped me to repair some seams on a leather sectional as well as see if he can use existing parts to hold together the 2 pieces. Thanks Bill!
Perfect match of replacement cushions on leather couch. Great personal service and timely delivery as promised.
Bill was on time he did a wonderful job you can’t even tell that I had any rips in my couch perfect job..Definitely recommend and if I have any future problems I would use him again.
Great experience from start to finish. Bill handled everything very professionally. He repaired a leather sofa and chair and two vinyl chairs, the repairs matched perfectly. Saved me from furniture shopping. Would not hesitate to use him again or to recommend him.
Excellent job. Bill was so nice paid attention to every detail. My couch has a new life!!
Thank you
I had an issue with damage to a chair that was under an extended warranty. Bill was very professional and completed the repair in a timely manner. He answered any questions I had--and took his time to ensure that the work was done correctly. I have forwarded his contact information to other family members because I know that he will do a great job!
I was recommended to Fibrenew by a leather repair shop in Wheeling, IL. From start to finish Bill was very helpful in explaining the process and what his recommendations were. His work can be done either inside or out so there is flexibility where you would want the job done. When the work was completed our sofa looked amazing! It's 15 years old but looks like new. I would recommend anyone who need to refurbish a leather chair/sofa to use Fibrenew!
Thanks again Bill!
Very impressed with Bill's quick response to give me an estimate. Two chairs to my dining room set had cracked, one of which I was sure was a lost cause. Also needed a chair back cushion to be restuffed as well as a recliner which needed more stuffing in the lumbar area. Bill was able to save my chairs and completed all repairs within just a few days. I wouldn't think of using anyone else in the future.
Highly recommend this company. Bill is very friendly, quick to respond and fair priced. LOVE that he comes to your home vs. bringing to him !
Bill is EXTREMELY polite and professional. He did a GREAT job adding stuffing to our couch to make it firmer and much more comfortable to sit on. I would highly recommend Bill if you need any work to give new life to your older couch!
Wonderful job redoing the upholstery at the bow and back deck lid of my boat. Bill replaced the backing with marine grade wood, new padding and vinyl. It looks great. And he did it on site, which made it very convenient for me.
Bill did an outstanding repair on my Mercedes seats. The repairs are invisible, he completed the work in a very short time and his prices are reasonable. I could not be happier with the job he did.
I borrowed my daughter’s car to take my dogs to the kennel and when I returned home I noticed a puncture hole and a 4 inch gash in the leather upholstery, along with several deep scratches! I contacted Fibrenew and talked to the owner, Bill Bedsole on the phone. He came to my house that afternoon, gave me an estimate and came back the next day to do the repair. The repair is absolutely amazing! There is no sign of the hole or gash or scratches! In fact the upholstery looks brand new! Great job, Bill! I highly recommend you and your company!
We just had our leather couch repaired by Fibrenew.Bill the owner was very professional and did a great, great job!! We couldn't be happier..The cost was extremely reasonable for the work done. Won"t have to worry about buying a new couch anytime soon thanks to Fibrenew!!!
Thanks to Bill, the cushion from my late grandmother’s chair has been restored! The piece has great sentimental value to me and I was devastated to think it may have been ruined. The service was impeccable and Bill managed to get out multiple marks on the cushions the same day I gave it to him. I highly recommend using Fibrenew to tend to any upholstery damage or upholstery updates you may have.
Bill was great. We had our black leather couch and kitchen chairs which turned our wonderful. Would definitely use again. I was a little unsure about the color selection of our kitchen chairs and they tuned out wonderful. Our leather couch was redyed. I would strongly recommend this route versus spending the money on a new couch. Reasonable prices. Thank you again Bill!
Really happy with the quality of service and attentiveness of Bill. Table leather replacement look great, has held up very well these last couple of months. Bill came out to pick up and drop off and even adjust the table again for the headrest to re-insert into the table. Highly recommended.
I highly recommend this company! Bill did a great job with my scratched leather seat in my car. He is very methodical in matching the color and workmanship is high quality. He is very nice and professional, a rare combination to find these days.
Pretty happy with this place so far. Bill repaired some dining room chairs for us this week and it looks great. I have a car seat repair next week, so we'll see how that goes, but seems very professional
I was a first time customer, service was great! Bill came out the next day. He arrived right on my scheduled time. My red vinyl couch had a tear and a couple of scratches. He gave me a price which I accepted and he started to work. He called me to look at color match before he went further and it was perfect! When it was all done I could not tell that it was ever ripped and it was as good as new! I highly recommend this company! I never had anything like this repaired and was very very pleased. Thank you!
