FINE RUG REPAIR

Do you have a fine oriental rug in your home or office?

Although they offer a more appealing aesthetic than traditional carpet, they will experience wear over time due to everyday traffic that traditional cleaning cannot fully restore. That is where the professionals of The Original Hoffman Cleaning team can come in and bring life back to your fine rug.

Small frays and tears in your rug can be costly if left unattended. The original Hoffman Cleaning team’s goal is to preserve the beauty and uniqueness that your rug brings to your home or office space through professional cleanings and time-honored techniques that include repairing loose or torn out fringe, salvage recovery, and re-knotting any damage to your rug’s pattern.

Each fine oriental rug is made by a craftsman who took years to master the skill, and thisskill cannot be copied by a machine. That is what makes each rug unique.

To ensure that your rug keeps its value throughout years of traffic and everyday wear, leave any repairs or cleaning to the professional team at The Original Hoffman Cleaning. You can be sure that your carpet or rug will be treated with the proper care and maintenance that it needs to retain its worth over the years to come.

View Available Rug Repair Services
  • Fringe Repair: The fringe is often the first part of a rug to show wear and tear. This repair involves replacing or securing the fringes to prevent further damage.
  • Edge Binding: The edges of a rug are prone to fraying. Edge binding involves reinforcing the sides of the rug with new material to prevent further wear.
  • Tear Repair: If a rug has been torn due to heavy foot traffic or furniture, the torn area can be patched or reweaved.
  • Moth Damage Repair: Moths can cause serious damage to rugs. In such cases, the rug is treated for pests and the damaged areas are repaired.
  • Pile Wear Restoration: Over time, the pile of a rug can become worn down. This can be fixed by re-knotting and re-dyeing the affected area to match the original design.
  • Color Run Correction: If a rug has been exposed to water or high humidity, colors may bleed into each other. This can often be corrected with specialized cleaning and dyeing techniques.
  • Water Damage Repair: Water can cause a rug to shrink, warp, or develop mold and mildew. The rug needs to be thoroughly dried and treated, and any damaged areas repaired.
  • Stain Removal: Stains from food, drink, or pets can often be removed with specialized cleaning methods.
  • Hole Repair: Holes in a rug can be repaired by reweaving the damaged area to match the original pattern and color.
  • Burn Repair: Burn marks can be cut out and the area reweaved or patched.
  • Foundation Repair: If the foundation of a rug becomes damaged, it can be repaired or replaced to maintain the rug’s structure and durability.
  • Overcasting: This is a preventative measure to stop fraying at the ends of a rug.
  • Block Stretching: If a rug has become warped or misshapen, it can be reshaped with a process called block stretching.
  • Shearing: This is a process where the top layer of wool is trimmed to restore the rug’s original texture.
  • Reweaving: This involves repairing damaged areas by reweaving with yarn that matches the color, size, and texture of the original rug.
  • Patchwork: In some cases, the damaged area of a rug is replaced with a matching patch from another rug.
  • Pet Damage Repair: This involves cleaning and repairing areas that have been damaged by pet accidents, including odor removal.
  • Dye Touch-up: Faded areas of a rug can be refreshed with a touch-up of the original dye.
  • Slit Repair: Slits in a rug, often caused by wear and tear, can be repaired by reweaving or patching the area.
  • Knotting: If the knotting in a rug comes undone, it can be re-knotted to maintain the rug’s design and structure.

We purchased a gorgeous 100 year old rug from Kermani by Hoffman Carpet Cleaning a few weeks ago. The colors are vibrant and it’s such a lovely addition to our home. Before we brought it home John and his team restored and repaired small areas so it looks brand new, and gave it a thorough washing. John was kind enough to cut a rug pad to our exact specifications, too! Not only does Hoffman Cleaning clean rugs, but I highly recommend them as a place to purchase fine oriental carpets.

We had a great experience all-around with Hoffman Cleaning. I was able to schedule a cleaning on short notice, our area rugs were steam-cleaned quickly and came out looking great. The gentleman who came to clean the rugs was friendly, professional, and very responsive to my questions, concerns, and preferences. The pricing for services was also very reasonable. This was the third time we had Hoffman clean our rugs and we will definitely be using this service again when we next need our rugs or carpet cleaned.

We contacted John in early December to have various high traffic stains and hard to remove pet stains clean from our carpet, and he was really understanding that we had to keep pushing the date back because of snow. When he did come out to clean our carpet, it took just 30 minutes and our carpet is like new. If you need carpet cleaning in Eastern upstate New York, I would definitely recommend this company.

John was fabulous-explained everything he planned to do and executed on his promise. He was clean, courteous, friendly and thorough. Was also up-front about some of the issues on my hardwood kitchen floor - and what the cleaning would and would not do regarding wear, tear and stains.I. appreciated his honesty and had the floors done anyway. The improvement is amazing.

I have an old carpet and after an appointment of steam cleaning, I hadn’t visually noticed a difference in the carpet. Although at that age I likely wouldn’t notice a difference, it would simply be cleaner. Hoffman offered to come back out to see what they could do and instead of the same service again which wouldn’t have visually shown me a result, the employee suggested a dry cleaning with their dual bristle brush machine. This extracted the dirt and dander and pet fur from under the carpet fibers that a normal vacuum couldn’t get; and the carpets all looked great. I would recommend both processes as they clean differently but I do absolutely feel as though the carpets are very sufficiently clean for their age.

We are a return customer as we like to get the rugs cleaned before the holidays as we have kids and pets. They always do such a lovely job. They are on-time, efficient, and really great with advice. This past time we also got the dryer vent cleaning for peace of mind and to ensure the dryer was working efficiently. I would highly recommend their services.

John and Kyle arrived on time, took the time to explain exactly what they were going to do. They were able to remove a “mystery” spot for me. In addition to the carpet, they cleaned my furniture, stairs and landing. They did an excellent job, and I am thrilled with the results! I definitely will have them back to do the bedroom carpets in the spring! Thank you Kyle and John!!!!

Thank you for an excellent job. This is the second time I’ve used Hoffman at two different properties I own with carpeting that has been worn and torn by tenants. Both times they went above and beyond, and for an affordable price and very professional, and the carpet is restored to like new! Special thanks for this latest cleaning by coming out the day after a big snowstorm!
