Catch it early

Why do rug repairs get expensive when you wait?

Because rug damage unravels — literally.

The side cords and end finishes of a hand-knotted rug are what hold the field together. When an edge wears through or fringe lets go, the knots behind it start walking out one row at a time. A small edge repair ignored for two years becomes a reweave costing many times that.

Moths are the same story: what you see is never the whole colony, and wool rugs in dark, quiet Florida closets are their favorite address.

The earlier we see the damage, the smaller the bill. Every time.

Bring the rug in — or send a photo — and we’ll tell you whether it’s a quick fix, a real restoration, or honestly not worth the money.

What we fix

What repairs can be done by hand at the shop?

Fringe repair & replacement

Worn fringe secured or fully replaced, and end stops rebuilt so the rug’s knots can’t continue shedding off the ends.

Side & edge overcasting

Side cords rewrapped by hand — the repair that saves a rug’s edges before the field starts to go.

Hole repair & reweaving

Holes rebuilt from the foundation up: new warp and weft, then pile matched to color and knot style.

Moth damage

Grazed pile and eaten spots restored, and the rug treated so the problem doesn’t come home with it.

Dry rot

Brittle, cracking foundation — often from an old plant pot or slow leak — assessed honestly and repaired where the rug justifies it.

Resizing & restoration

Rugs cut down and refinished for a new space, and full restorations for antiques that have earned the investment.

Protect what’s fixed

How do I keep my rug out of the repair shop?

Three cheap habits beat one expensive restoration.

A proper pad. We custom-cut dense needle-punched pads that stop skidding, wrinkling, and the grinding wear a bare tile floor puts on a rug’s back — a real issue in Weston’s tile-and-marble homes.

Stain protection. An optional fiber protector that bonds to the pile and buys you time when wine, coffee, or a pet gets there first. It also helps against the sun-fading our west-facing rooms are famous for.

Smart storage. Rugs going into a closet or storage unit get cleaned, treated with moth repellent, and wrapped in breathable material — never plastic. Most of the moth damage we repair started in storage.

The honest part

Will you tell me if a repair isn’t worth it?

Yes — and we do it weekly.

Repair cost should make sense against what the rug is worth, in dollars or in sentiment. A machine-made rug with a torn edge usually isn’t worth hand work; your grandmother’s Tabriz almost always is. When the math doesn’t work, we’ll say so before you’ve spent anything.

Cleaning first often settles the question: see what the wash involves, or read how this shop thinks about honest work.
