Rug Repairs Your Clients Don’t Have to Ship North For

Q: When is a rug repair worth it?

When the cost of the repair is clearly below the value the rug holds — in money or in meaning. A hand-knotted piece with unraveling edges is usually worth stopping; a worn machine-made rug with a hole usually isn't. We give you that math straight at evaluation so you can advise your client without guessing.

Q: Should a rug be repaired before or after cleaning?

Usually the wash comes first — you can't match colors or judge damage accurately on a dirty rug. But actively unraveling edges or open holes may need stabilizing before the rug can be washed safely. The evaluation sets the order; you approve the plan before anything starts.

Q: Can moth damage be fixed?

Often, yes. Moth larvae eat wool pile down to the foundation in patches; repair means treating the infestation, then re-piling or patching the eaten areas. Small scattered patches are routine work. Widespread structural loss may not be worth reversing — and if so, we say that before you spend.

Fringe going, edges opening, moth patches, holes — the damage shows up when the rug reaches our inspection table. What comes next is a straight recommendation: fix it, restore it, or leave it be.

The work

What repairs do we handle?

Fringe repair & replacement

Worn or torn fringe rebuilt or replaced — and secured so the rug’s foundation stops unraveling with it.

Binding & serging

Edges rebound or re-serged to hold the pile in. The first thing to go on most rugs, and the cheapest to stop early.

Edge & side-cord repair

Side cords rebuilt where vacuum passes and foot traffic have worn through the wrapping.

Patching & hole repair

Holes closed with matched material so the damage stops spreading — scoped honestly against the rug’s value.

Reweaving

Missing pile rebuilt knot by knot on pieces that justify the labor. Slow, skilled work — quoted before it starts.

Moth-damage repair

Infestations treated, then eaten patches re-piled or patched. A South Florida closet classic — caught early, very fixable.

Fringe repair, by hand

Fringe isn't decoration — it's the warp, the foundation threads the whole rug is tied onto. Once it wears through, the knots start walking out a row at a time. Overcasting binds that edge back down, stitch by stitch, by hand.

The honest filter

Repair it, or leave it alone?

Every repair we quote passes one test first: is this worth your client’s money?

A hand-knotted wool piece with thirty years left in it deserves a rebuilt edge. A machine-made rug near the end of its life usually doesn’t — and quoting the repair anyway would just be billing for billing’s sake.

You get the recommendation we’d give our own family: fix this, skip that.

That answer travels well. Pass it to your client as your own professional assessment — that’s exactly what trade accounts are for.
