Expert Rug Repair

Before we start to take care of the rug repair and restoration, we consider the type of the damage in order to determine the repair method and technique. If there is hole in the rug, we have to make the foundation on which we can tie the knots and make the pile. In this case we have to match the weave, color of the yarn, design and etc. If sides or ends are damaged, we may have to unravel part of the weave to make the lines in order and then do the binding and secure the knots. We do not attach, sew or glue prefabricated fringes. We make fringes from the foundation of the rug. Everything is custom made and done by hand by our expert rug and carpet repair people who work on site.

When it comes to Oriental, Persian, area rug, kilim or tapestry repair, we are your consultant and not your ordinary rug dealers. Our decades of experience will be put at work and on the table to help you decide what is best for you and your valuable rug.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does rug repair cost?

    The cost of repair depends on the extent of the damage, the size of the affected area, and the complexity of the rug's weave and design. Because every repair is custom-matched to the rug's original color, yarn, and pattern, we recommend bringing your rug in so our team can provide an accurate estimate.

  • How long does rug repair take?

    Repair time varies based on the type and severity of the damage. A small area of fringe or edge binding may be completed relatively quickly, while a hole requiring a rebuilt foundation and hand-tied knots takes considerably longer, since every repair is done by hand on-site.

  • Can any Persian or Oriental rug be repaired?

    Most genuine hand-knotted rugs can be repaired, since each yarn is individually knotted and can be replaced, reattached, or rewoven to match the original. The extent of what can be restored depends on the damage, which is why we always assess the rug in person before recommending a repair approach.

  • My dog chewed the fringe on my rug. Can that be fixed?

    Yes, we regularly repair fringe damage caused by pets. Rather than attaching a prefabricated fringe, we rebuild it by hand from the rug's own foundation so the repair blends naturally with the rest of the piece.

  • Is it better to repair an old rug or replace it?

    In many cases, repairing a well-made antique or handmade rug preserves its value, history, and craftsmanship far better than replacing it. As experienced consultants rather than typical dealers, we'll walk you through your rug's condition and give you an honest recommendation on whether repair, restoration, or replacement makes the most sense.
