Rug repair is the answer when a rug is frayed, torn, or worn thin and cleaning alone is not enough. Carpet Care NYC repairs rugs by hand in our workshop, serving homes and businesses across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Every rug repair starts with a free in-person estimate. Our certified technicians inspect the rug with you, explain what can be repaired and what cannot, and quote the repair on the spot. Fragile and valuable rugs are picked up, repaired by hand under controlled conditions in our workshop, and returned to your home. Some damage cannot be repaired, and if that is the case with your rug, we will tell you honestly at the estimate.
What we repair
- Fringe repair and fringe replacement: damaged fringe repaired, and worn or missing fringe rebuilt by hand and replaced.
- End repair and reweaving: damaged rug ends repaired by reweaving and re-knotting, so the end is secure again.
- Hole and tear repair: holes and tears rewoven to close the damage and restore the rug’s structure.
- Worn-pile restoration: worn, thin pile restored so the rug’s surface looks and feels fuller again.
- Edge and side repair: damaged edges and sides repaired and secured to stop further unraveling.
How rug repair works
- Free in-person estimate: we see the rug in person, inspect it, and quote the repair on the spot, with an honest plan for what can and cannot be repaired.
- Pickup: rugs that need workshop work are picked up from your home.
- Hand repair in the workshop: the repair is done by hand under controlled conditions.
- Return and final walkthrough: your rug is returned to your home, and we walk through the finished repair with you.
Most cleaning is done in your home. Repair work, and some rugs, must go the pickup route to the workshop. That is why the free in-person estimate comes first: it decides honestly, rug by rug, whether your rug stays in your home or goes to the workshop.
If your rug needs cleaning as well as repair, see our area rug cleaning and rug cleaning services.

Frequently asked questions
How much does rug repair cost?
The cost is set at the free in-person estimate, after we inspect your rug. Every rug and every repair is different, so the cost is quoted for your rug alone.
Which rugs can be repaired?
Hand-knotted rugs, Persian rugs, Oriental rugs, wool rugs and kilims can often be repaired. Every rug is assessed on its own at the free in-person estimate, and we will tell you honestly what can and cannot be repaired.
Can fringe be replaced?
Yes. Damaged or missing fringe can be rebuilt by hand to match the rug.
How long does a repair take?
It depends on the damage. We will give you a timeline at the free in-person estimate.
Do you pick up and return rugs?
Yes. When a rug needs workshop work, we pick it up, repair it under controlled conditions, and return it to your home.
