Rug Repair& Restoration
Extend the life of your treasured rugs with expert repair services. From fringe restoration to hole patching, our skilled artisans use traditional techniques to restore your rugs to their former glory.
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 in terms: 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. If you’d like, you can explore our complete rug care services and plan cleaning + repair together for the best long-term result.

Our Repair Services
Fringe repair & replacement
Fringe is part of the rug’s foundation—not decoration. We re-knot, re-wrap, or replace fringe to prevent unraveling and extend rug life.
Edge binding, overcasting & serging
We stabilize frayed edges and corners using binding, overcasting, or serging matched to your rug’s construction and style.
Hole & tear patching
For localized damage, we reinforce the foundation and patch with compatible fibers to stop spreading and restore integrity.
Reweaving damaged areas
When yarns are missing, we reweave by hand to recreate the original pattern, density, and pile height as closely as possible.
Pet damage restoration
From chewing and claw pulls to urine-related damage, we repair structure and can pair the work with odor/enzyme treatment when needed.
Moth & insect damage repair
We remove compromised fibers, rebuild affected sections, and recommend preventive treatment for wool rugs prone to moth activity.
Color restoration & re-dyeing
We correct small bleach spots or fading with controlled dye work and careful blending to maintain a natural, consistent look.
Foundation & backing repair
Loose backing, deteriorated latex, or weakened foundation threads can be repaired to stabilize the rug and prevent further breakdown.
The Repair Process & Craftsmanship
Every project begins with a free inspection and estimate. We document the damage, measure affected areas, and explain options so you can make an informed decision. If insurance is involved (water events, accidents, movers), we can provide photos and repair notes to support the claim process.
Our artisans focus on hand-repair techniques whenever the rug’s construction requires it. That means careful color matching, recreating knot structure where needed, and using authentic materials—wool, silk, or cotton—selected to match the original rug. The goal is a repair that blends naturally and holds up over time, not a quick fix that fails later.
We also follow conservation-minded care principles—like minimizing unnecessary stress on fragile fibers— as recommended by rug preservation experts. Before return delivery, we complete a final quality check and can share before/after photos upon request.
Typical timelines depend on complexity: small edge repairs may take about 1–2 weeks, while reweaving or restoration can take longer. We’ll provide a clear timeframe at estimate, along with pickup/delivery options throughout the North Shore.
Repair vs. replacement: the value case
Repair often costs a fraction of replacement—especially for heirlooms. As an example, a $300 fringe repair can prevent unraveling that could otherwise lead to a $5,000+ replacement. Timely work protects heirloom preservation and helps keep your rug in service for years to come.
If you notice new fraying, holes, loose threads, or moth activity, stop vacuuming aggressively and contact us quickly—early intervention is the simplest, most cost-effective path.

Rug Repair Services We Offer
We, at Premier Carpet Service are committed to preserve the lasting beauty and value of your Oriental rug.
Rug Edge Serging
Serging is the process of sewing yarn to the edges of rug or carpet in order to make it an area rug. Serging is most commonly found in Oriental Style Rugs. There are literally thousands of yarn colors to choose from, but we usually match colors that are already in the rug or carpet unless the customer wants a specific color.
Rug Edge Binding
Binding can treat the edges of custom rugs, carpets with several attractive options, one of them is binding. Binding comes in hundreds of colors to match the rug or carpeting. They are pressure-dyed to resist fading, and are stain-resistant. Binding not only enhances the beauty of the rug or carpet but will eliminate frayed edges thereby extending the life of your carpet.
Rug Fringe Repair
We examine your Oriental rug to determine the type of fringe repair it requires based on rug construction. If your rug's edges are hand knotted, they need to be re-wrapped by hand, paying close attention to the rug's colors and structure. This is a very elaborate and meticulous process.
A Rug Appraisal
We have performed rug appraisals for clients who want the information for insurance purposes, tax planning, estate planning, probate, asset management, property acquisition, collaboration agreement, charitable contributions, and gift tax documenting.
Moth Treatment
Moths are a wool rug's worst nightmare. They feast off the keratin in the wool of your rug, and once they start, they will not stop until your rug is completely ruined. If a moth infested rug is brought to our plant, we use a three step process to treat it. Learn more about clothes moths and prevention.
Bath/Enzyme Treatment
Most commonly used to treat strong odors related to animals. If your rug has an odor from pet urine, water, or body oils, we strongly recommend our enzyme treatment. The rug is immersed into a tub filled with our enzyme solution and left to soak allowing the treatment to break down the waste and odor.
Rug Backing Repair
Latex backing on the rugs becomes powdery over time. Chicago Oriental rug repair specialist can replace it, which will extend the life of your valuable area rug.
Color Restoration
Color restoration includes custom dye techniques, airbrushing and needle application to restore faded or sun-damaged areas to their original vibrancy. We can also apply fabric protection after restoration.
Wrap for Storage
We wrap all rugs in high quality Tyvek paper. It does not tear easily like standard brown kraft paper and is moisture resistant yet still allows the rug to breathe unlike plastic. Wrapping in plastic can lead to musty odors and even mildew.
