Carpet Repair

Carpet Repair for Burns, Tears and Pet Damage

Cut it out, seam a matched piece back in, and the repair should be hard to find. Most jobs are done the same afternoon.

Cut out, matched, seamed back in

We cut the damaged section out clean, through carpet and pad, and seam in a donor piece taken from a closet, from under furniture, or from leftover install scrap. The donor is cut so the pile runs the same direction as the surrounding carpet, which is the actual difference between a repair you can find and one you can't. It works on burns, tears, fraying and pet damage, and on cut pile, loop and patterned carpet alike. Most jobs run one to two hours.

Where the donor piece comes from

Nobody wants a hole cut in a closet floor to fix a hole in the living room, and we don't leave it that way. The donor spot is chosen so it's never seen again, and matching pile direction and colour there is what makes the repaired section blend into the rest of the room instead of standing out as a square of slightly different carpet.

Marcelo does nearly all of this work himself, and he's named in almost every review we get for it. Call (425) 329-5162.

Why a rushed repair is worse than no repair

A patch cut without matching pile direction catches the light differently from every angle in the room, so it reads as a square of the wrong carpet rather than a fix. It's the single most common thing we get called out to correct after someone else's attempt, and it's entirely avoidable. The donor piece is chosen and cut with the pile direction as the first decision, not an afterthought.

Repair questions, answered straight

Most of the time it can be fixed. We cut the damaged section out and seam in a donor piece taken from a closet or leftover install scrap, matched for colour and pile direction, so it reads as carpet rather than as a patch.

A closet, a corner under furniture, or wherever the same carpet was installed but is never seen. If nothing matches closely enough on site, we'll tell you honestly rather than force a piece that won't blend.

Yes. Cut pile, loop and patterned carpet all take the same donor-piece method. Patterned carpet takes more care to align, since the eye finds a mismatched pattern instantly, but it's routine work for us.

Most repairs are one to two hours. The first hour is included in the base call; anything beyond that is billed at $225.00 an hour, prorated to the minute rather than rounded up.

Repair is the general fix for burns, tears, fraying and pet damage. Patching is the same donor-piece method framed around damage confined to a small area, a few square feet or less. In practice the two overlap; call and describe what happened and we'll tell you which it is.

Most of what looks like a reason to replace a carpet is actually a repair.
