SOUTH BEACH ORIENTAL RUG REPAIR
Rugs are art you can walk on. They take on far more daily wear and tear than most people realize. Shoes, pets, children, spills … the list goes on. Each incident grinds more dust and dirt into your beloved carpet. There are other, more serious situations too: sunlight that fades the hand-dyed fabric; humidity that leads to mildew; a rogue vacuum brush that eats the fringe; a chair leg that rips a hole in the fabric. This why we offer more than cleaning services. We know that truly servicing a rug means repairing it as well as cleaning it. And with over 30 years of experience, we are well equipped to do both.
PROFESSIONAL RUG REPAIRHave you ever watched a rug artisan at work? The delicate yet deft movements of the fingers, the swift and confident knots, the innate addition of color as patterns emerge. Weaving is art come to life.
This is why we take repairs seriously. When repairing a rug, we consider the artisan’s skill, methods, and intent. Our goal is to allow the original beauty shine through, and to make repairs so seamless they are virtually unnoticed. We stock our repair rooms with a variety of dyes, threads, and repair materials to ensure we can provide any service you need. When your rug is damaged, it is important to get it repaired quickly to preserve your carpet. Our repair services include, but are not limited to: Re-knotting. We have obsessively studied the knotting and weaving methods of various cultures to ensure we can effectively re-knot any rug that comes to us. We prefer to see close-up photos of the original craftsmanship; however, if you don’t have details of the original work, our experts will confer with one another to determine the best method for re-knotting. While we do have machines that can re-knot, our preferred method is to perform this repair by hand if possible. Fringe Repair. Many a fringe has fallen victim to an overzealous vacuum cleaner or a pet that mistook it for a toy. No matter the cause, we can repair frayed and tangled fringes. Our primary goal is to de-knot the original fringe and make repairs if needed. However, if the fringe is beyond repair, we will replace it and ensure the work is as close to the original as possible. Most people cannot even tell the fringe was replaced! Occasionally a customer will ask if we can add a fringe to a rug, and we can. During your complimentary in-home evaluation, we will discuss your style preferences to determine the best way to add fringe to your rug. Stitching or Patching. Our experts can repair holes and replace worn fabric with stitching that matches the original artisan’s work as closely as possible. Patching holes is more challenging, but this is a vital fix that helps stop more damage to the compromised fabric. We have a wide variety of threads, fabrics, and dyes to help blend our repair work into your rug. Adding Loops. Many customers choose to display their rugs on a wall. We can easily add mounting loops to ensure your rug looks beautiful as wall décor. |

REPAIRING YOUR RUG
Modern technology has created many great advancements for our civilization, but there are some skills that require the human touch. And surely machines lack the ability to see and appreciate beauty in a rug’s patterns, colors, and form. That’s why, when it comes to your antique, Oriental, or Persian rug, our repair services are best left to skilled human hands. Our experts have extensive experience and are artists in their own right. They have studied hand weaving techniques in detail to ensure they know exactly how to tackle any repair that comes in to their skilled hands.
Whenever possible, we repair by hand. While we do have machines at our disposal, they are only used when their benefits outweigh those of stitching or repairing by hand. We believe the highest service we can provide is our time and attention to detail.
During your in-home evaluation, we will discuss your repair needs and give you an honest opinion of what repairs we can do and what outcome you can expect. While many repairs are simple, others are more challenging or may slightly alter a design on your rug. We’ll be sure to discuss these situations in detail so you clearly understand how the repair will look. Time and again, our customers are amazed at the quality of work and the seamless integration of repairs. Whether we are replacing fringes, repairing holes, or re-knotting the backing, our experts will take the utmost care to ensure your valuable carpet gets the best treatment possible.
