Frequently Asked Questions
Can antique rugs be restored?+
Yes. We specialize in restoring antique and heirloom rugs using traditional techniques that preserve their original character.
Do you repair rugs purchased elsewhere?+
Yes, we repair and restore rugs regardless of where they were originally purchased.
How long does a rug repair take?+
Timelines vary based on the extent of damage and technique required. We'll give you an estimated timeline after inspecting your rug.
Can hand-knotted rugs be rewoven if damaged?+
Yes. Because hand-knotted rugs are built knot by knot, a skilled weaver can reweave damaged sections so they blend seamlessly with the original pattern — something that isn't possible on hand-tufted or power-loomed rugs. Learn more about what makes hand-knotted construction different in our rug construction guide.
What causes most rug damage?+
The most common issues we see are fringe wear from vacuuming, edge fraying from foot traffic, moth damage in rugs stored without regular care, and color loss from prolonged sun exposure. Most of it is preventable — see our rug maintenance basics guide for simple habits that extend a rug's life.
