Our Rug Repair and Restoration Services
At On Time Steam Cleaning, we provide professional rug repair and restoration services that address a wide range of damage. Our technicians use proven techniques to restore structural strength and visual integrity while preserving the original craftsmanship of each rug.
Reweaving and Reknotting
Damaged or missing fibers and patterns are restored through traditional hand-weaving methods. Technicians match colors, textures, and knot structures to ensure a seamless repair that blends with the existing rug.
Cutting and Resizing
Rugs can be cut and resized to fit new room dimensions, staircases, or specific layouts. All adjusted edges are securely bound or serged to prevent unraveling and to maintain long-term durability.
Edge Repairs and Binding
Frayed or deteriorating edges are reinforced through binding, serging, or fringe replacement. These methods protect the rug from further unraveling and extend its lifespan.
Patching and Hole Restoration
Areas affected by moth damage, snags, or wear are repaired using reweaving or patching techniques. The goal is to restore both appearance and structural stability.
Stretching and Blocking
Rugs that have become misshapen or uneven are corrected through controlled stretching and blocking. This process restores flatness, alignment, and proper proportions.
Specialty Restoration
Complex restoration work includes re-piling, warp and weft rebuilding, color correction, and recovery from water, smoke, or burn damage. These services are performed with precision to maintain authenticity and value, especially for antique or high-value rugs.

- Inspection – We examine your rug to identify all areas of concern.
