    About Solutions Fabric & Leather

    Solutions Fabric & Leather is a high-end fabric, leather, upholstery, rug, and specialty restoration company working inside the homes of premium clients, designers, and property managers throughout Southern California. We are not a basic carpet-cleaning company — our reputation is built on craftsmanship, documentation, and the long-term preservation of valuable materials.

    In business since 2013, every client relationship built through word-of-mouth. We are a "Solutions" first, client-centered company, and we constantly evolve to meet what our clients need. One recent example: when the Palisades fires threatened so many of the people we serve, we trained, sourced equipment, and stood up our fire and smoke contents-restoration capability so we could be there. That is who we are.

    Trust and respect are hard to earn. Once earned, we protect them like a lion. We are looking for a technician who wants to come grow with us.

    The Role

    You will work directly under our Founder/Technical Lead on jobs ranging from routine fabric cleaning to delicate restoration of high-value pieces. Not repetitive carpet work. Every job is different.

    This is a part-time, W-2 position — with full-time hours during peak periods and overtime. We schedule around your existing commitments.

    How Pay Works at SFL

    Every technician starts at $25/hour with a 90-day review. Pay growth is tied to demonstrated work at SFL, not your résumé. Experience matters, but it has to translate to how you show up on our jobs.

    What You'll Do

    Meet at our Jefferson/La Brea warehouse, travel to client homes in a company vehicle

    Clean and restore fabric, leather, upholstery, rugs, and specialty textiles

    Fire- and smoke-related contents and soft-goods restoration

    Document every job: condition, products, communication, photos

    What We Need

    Discretion. Many of our clients are public figures, celebrities, or ultra-high-net-worth households. All technicians sign an NDA on hire. We do not discuss clients — not with friends, not on social media, ever.

    Putting your best foot forward at every job. Our clients let us into their homes; that access is a privilege.
