Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can any rug be resized?
A: Yes. We work with everything from delicate antique silk and wool rugs to modern synthetic machine-made carpets. We evaluate each rug individually to ensure the safest method is used.
Q: How much does rug resizing cost in Brooklyn?
A: Pricing is based on the rug’s material and the total linear footage of the binding or surging required. We offer free, no-obligation quotes for all NYC residents.
Q: Does resizing a rug ruin its value?
A: When performed professionally, resizing preserves the rug’s functional value. A perfectly fitted rug is far more valuable to a homeowner than an oversized rug that remains in storage.

A: Yes! We offer white-glove pickup and delivery services throughout all Brooklyn neighborhoods, including Bushwick, Bay Ridge, and Bed-Stuy.
Can you cut a rug to fit around a Brooklyn brownstone fireplace?
