Expert Rug Repair & Restoration Services
From fringe repair to full reweaving, we help protect the beauty, structure, and long-term value of your rugs. We serve Deerfield and Chicago's North Shore with careful craftsmanship and clear, honest guidance.
Valuable rugs—especially Persian, Oriental, antique, and heirloom pieces—are built with natural fibers and hand-made construction that can be permanently affected by the wrong repair. Common damage we see includes fringe loss, holes and tears, unraveling edges, corner wear, moth damage, and pet damage. Addressing issues early prevents small weak points from turning into major structural failures.
Here's the difference: repair fixes a specific problem (like a frayed edge), restoration aims to return the rug closer to original condition (pattern, pile, and color), and patching stabilizes an area when full reconstruction isn't appropriate. We'll recommend the right approach based on the rug's value, construction, and how you use it.
Many clients pair repair with professional cleaning because soil and grit accelerate wear. You can explore our complete rug care services and plan cleaning + repair together for the best long-term result.
Expert hand-repair techniques preserve the rug's authentic character and structure.
Color-matched materials blend seamlessly with the original weave and dye tones.
Free inspection and detailed repair estimates before any work begins.
Repairs for Persian, Oriental, Turkish, and antique/heirloom rugs of all sizes.
Fringe restoration, edge binding, serging, and hole reweaving under one roof.
Pet damage and moth damage restoration specialists with fiber-safe methods.
Insurance documentation support available when rugs are damaged by accidents.
Pickup and delivery available throughout Chicago's North Shore communities.
Every project begins with a free inspection and estimate. We document the damage, explain options, and provide a clear timeframe. If insurance is involved, we can supply photos and repair notes to support your claim.
Our artisans use hand-repair techniques with careful color matching, authentic materials—wool, silk, or cotton—and knot structure recreation when needed. The goal is a repair that blends naturally and holds up over time. We follow conservation-minded care principles and complete a final quality check before return delivery.
Repair vs. replacement
Repair often costs a fraction of replacement—especially for heirlooms. A $300 fringe repair can prevent unraveling that could otherwise lead to a $5,000+ replacement. If you notice fraying, holes, loose threads, or moth activity, contact us quickly—early intervention is the most cost-effective path.
