If you own a valuable heirloom rug that needs professional edge work repair, don’t entrust its care to just anyone. At Duke Brothers Oriental Rug Cleaning, we’ve offered rug repair service for over two decades in the Norfolk area. Let’s take a look at what’s considered edge work repair and the steps you can take to make sure your Oriental rug gets the attention it deserves.
The edges of your area rug take the brunt of everyday use. Over time, even with regular rug care, fraying, unraveling, and loose threads can appear. These issues threaten the structure and appearance of your area rug. Prompt repair not only saves your investment, but it keeps your home looking its best.
Fringes are decorative, but they're also the foundation threads of your rug. When these get damaged because of foot traffic, vacuuming, or pets, it’s vital to restore them before the problem spreads. Our team carefully reconstructs lost or worn fringes, matching colors and styles to keep your Oriental rug looking authentic and well-maintained.
For area rugs, binding is a protective finishing touch along the rug’s edges. If your rug’s binding is fraying, we expertly sew or glue a new binding in place. This stabilizes the rug while adding a crisp, clean border, preventing further unraveling and making vacuuming safer.
If your rug has small holes or worn spots, patching can offer a new lease on life. We source similar wool or other fibers to discreetly patch the area, blending patches so seamlessly that most visitors will never notice the repair.
Serge refers to the reinforced stitching along a rug’s edge, while the selvage is the side finish that adds stability. Over time, both can wear out. Our professional rug repair experts will address the specific issue with your Oriental rug and reinforce the damaged areas. The goal is to preserve the beauty and integrity of your rug for years to come.
At Duke Brothers Oriental Rug Cleaning, we're dedicated to serving each customer with expertise and quality customer service. We even have certifications from the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), which is an industry standard. Along with rug repairs, we also offer pet urine and odor removal, rug moth treatments, and rug cleaning services in the Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton, and Virginia Beach area.
