Area rug repair covers an enormous range in Memphis. Hand-knotted oriental antiques need traditional reweaving; modern hand-tufted designer pieces need backing repair; flat-weaves need woven structure rebuilding; hooked rugs need loop replacement. Most home insurance policies cover sudden damage (fire, water, pet incidents) on area rugs of any construction, and we frequently work with Memphis-area insurance adjusters on documented repair claims.
"Area rug" is the catch-all term for any rug that sits loose on a floor — and the category covers an enormous range of constructions. A hand-knotted oriental rug, a hand-tufted designer piece from Pottery Barn or RH, a machine-made Karastan, a kilim flat-weave, a braided cotton rug, a jute natural-fiber piece — these are all area rugs, and they all develop different kinds of damage. The repair technique that works on one is often wrong for the others. The first step in any area rug repair is correctly identifying what we're repairing.

The work we do most often.
These are the repairs that come through our workshop most frequently. Each requires construction-specific technique.
Edge binding & selvage
The rug's edges always wear before the body. We rebind worn edges using cotton, wool, or synthetic binding matched to the rug's finish.
Fringe repair & replacement
Fringe is structural foundation extending beyond the pile. Damaged fringe is secured, repaired, or replaced — never just trimmed off.
Hole & tear patching
Holes filled by hand reweaving (hand-knotted), backing patching (hand-tufted), or matched-material insertion (machine-made).
Hand-tufted backing repair
When latex adhesive backing fails, pile starts releasing. We can reapply adhesive and reattach pile in many cases.
Color restoration
Sun-faded or worn color areas restored with hand-dyeing methods that match original. Used for spot correction.
Pet, moth & water damage
The most common damage we see. Each requires specific repair approach.

Common questions about area rug repair in Memphis.
Where in Memphis do you offer area rug repair pick-up?
Free pick-up across Memphis, Germantown, Cordova, Collierville, Bartlett, Olive Branch, Southaven, and the wider Mid-South.
Do you repair every type of area rug?
Yes — every type. Hand-knotted oriental, hand-tufted designer, machine-made wool and synthetic, flat-weave, braided, hooked, and natural-fiber rugs.
Will my Memphis homeowners insurance cover area rug repair?
Often yes, for sudden damage like fire, water, pet incidents, or theft-related damage. We provide written estimates and documentation suitable for insurance claims. Wear-and-tear is typically not covered. Check your specific policy before assuming coverage.
Can you re-bind the edges of an area rug?
Yes. Edge binding is one of our most common repairs. Most area rugs eventually need edge work — the edges take more wear than the body of the rug.
How much does area rug repair cost?
Pricing depends on the type of repair and the rug's construction. Edge binding and fringe repair typically run $100–$400. Hole repair and patching is quoted by size and complexity. We always provide a written estimate.
