Antique Rug Repair in Winnetka, IL

At Winnetka Oriental Rug Pros, we have serviced a variety of issues on antique rugs and are experts at finding the best way to repair them.

Professional Rug Repairs

Some frequent services we perform are:

Stitching and reweaving. A rip or hole worn in your beautiful antique rug may seem like the end of the world, but we promise it isn’t! We are able to restore large and small holes in rugs and once our repair is completed, you won’t even be able to tell where the damage was! We pride ourselves on repairing the rug in an exact or very similar weave, and leaving it looking seamless. For large tears and holes, we may need to patch the rug, but this will not be your standard patch. We make ours out of the same knot type your rug is, and the same colored fabric so it will blend perfectly.
Grooming. Antique rugs are antiques, and sometimes they look like it, too. Wear and tear can begin to show, and the rug itself will begin to fray and tear, fringe may wear off, areas may become threadbare. Winnetka Oriental Rug Pros has dealt with many cases of worn rugs and the first step is removing the fraying material. We then re-stitch and repair any tears or rips mimicking the original weave and material of the rug. On occasion, the rug may just need a good brushing to revive the fibers and give them volume. We can handle that with ease.

Pest and moth control. In a rug that is antique and often treated as an heirloom, passed down through generations, it is not unusual to see carpet beetles, moths, and other miniscule insects that have made a home in the fibers. Not only is this bad for environmental reasons – you sit and walk on your rug, do you want to share it with pests? But it is also harmful to the fibers themselves and can cause staining in addition to other damage. We specialize in dealing with pests and can use our pest prevention materials to completely eliminate the problem.
Mold removal. Even in temperate weather and climates, humidity can find its way into your home and rugs. The moisture builds up over time and, as it sits in the rug fibers, it will turn into mold and mildew, damaging the fabric and creating unpleasant odors and stains. In a multi-step process, we will use special dehumidifiers and suctioning devices to remove mold and odor and prevent it from forming again in the future.
