WINNETKA AREA CARPET REPAIR

At first glance, an area carpet repair may seem like it must be easier to mend than an intricate, antique area rug or fine silk. However, looks can be deceiving. Carpets, although sometimes patterned, are usually mainly solid coloring with light design. Over time, light can change the hues in the carpet making them fade, and excessive wear and tear in high traffic areas can matte the fibers and create deeper stains. Try matching colors in that to repair!

Area Carpet Repair In Winnetka, IL

Luckily, at Winnetka Oriental Rug Pros, we have the experience to handle these repairs as well and can often restore your area carpet to its full magnificence with a little extra elbow grease. We have handled all types of repairs including:

Static damage. Fairly rare, this type of carpet damage happens in winter when the environment is extremely dry and there is excess static in your home. Many customers are surprised when we inform them that the static electricity that they hear and see during the dry season, can actually add undue stress to carpeting and harm the fibers.
Fading. This is one of the most common types of damage we deal with and can occur for a multitude of reasons. Overused carpet will fade over time, just as carpet that has been mistreated or cleaned incorrectly. On occasion, water damage and spills will cause fading, although more often than not, they create deeper yellowed areas. Direct sunlight is by far the greatest cause of discoloration and fading in area carpets and is the hardest to prevent since you can’t reposition a carpet as you can a rug. This can lead to entire carpet discoloration, or vivid segments where the sun was blocked and fading in the areas the light hit.
Weight damage. Heavy sectionals and armoires or tables can leave deep impressions on the carpet. These sections will have damaged fibers and knit and often never regain their lift without a repair and restoration service.
Incidental damages. Where to begin! The types of incidental damages are endless, and while some of them may seem to have ruined the carpet entirely, we’re willing to bet it can be repaired with great success.
Chemical spills. This could arguably fall under incidental damages, but chemical spills like bleach and nail polish remover can cause much more trauma to a carpet than most other incidentals. These not only remove the color in the carpet, but will fry the material and fibers themselves, causing extensive, but not impossible, repair.
Torn seams. A large quantity of foot traffic can cause carpet to become worn and tear at the seams. This can also be caused if it was placed too loosely on the flooring the first time around. Our expert repair service will be able to re-seam or reweave the carpet where necessary to fix these fraying edges.
