Professional Carpet Patching Service in Macomb & Oakland County, MI
Pet damage from your dog or cat is the most common reason for a carpet patch. But here are some other common carpet problems I can fix, including patching holes, fraying, bleach spots, stains, burns, rips, home remodeling, and more.
Carpet Patching involves cutting out the damaged area and replacing it with a good piece of the same carpet. Therefore, you will need a spare part of the same carpet for the patch. If there are no leftover pieces from the original installation, we can take a donor piece from a closet or under a piece of furniture. Remember that carpet does fade over time, so there might be a slight color difference. I can replace the donor piece with a random sample of carpet. I carry small random pieces to put back into those areas for no extra charge, but they will not match your carpet. The color of the carpet I usually carry in my vehicle is beige. However, you are more than welcome to go out and try to find a piece that matches your carpet. Sorry, I do not supply large pieces.
Why use a professional for your Carpet Patch?
Patching a carpet requires training, experience, and proper tools to make it look as good as possible. I use an induction heating system instead of the traditional hot iron. With this technology, your patch looks better and is more durable. I NEVER use glue guns, pressure-sensitive tape (sticky tape), or a hot iron over a wet cloth for patches. Pressure-sensitive and double-sided tape is intended only for temporary carpet repairs and will not last. Glue guns are messy; the patch will look bad and not last if not done correctly. Placing a hot iron on a wet cloth placed over the carpet can leave a light sheen or melt the carpet. In addition, it doesn’t fully melt the seam tape in most cases, and it will come apart over time.
Carpet Patch Outcome
Will the carpet patch be invisible? It’s tough to say if the patch will be invisible. There are many variables to this question. It will blend nicely if the carpet is newer and has little traffic. However, the patch will show if it is worn or dirty. Having the carpet professionally cleaned after the patch will improve its appearance. If you plan to have the carpet cleaned, I recommend doing this after the patch, not before.
Cleaning and Flooring Installation
Suppose you have plans to have your flooring cleaned. I recommend having this done after the repair. I recommend looking for a certified cleaner on IICRC Locator (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification). If you’re looking for a flooring installer, I recommend a certified installer on CFI’s Find an Installer (International Certified Flooring Installers Association).

Carpet patching is the process of removing the damaged area of the carpet and replacing it with a donor piece.
The donor piece can come from the leftover carpet from the original installation. If there is no leftover carpet, we can usually take it from a closet, or, in the worst case, from under a piece of furniture.
I can put a new piece of carpet in its place. I carry small random carpet pieces to put back into those areas for no extra charge, but they will not match your carpet. You are more than welcome to go out and try to find a piece that matches your carpet, but it can be challenging to find one that exactly matches. I usually carry beige carpets in my vehicle. Sorry, I do not supply large carpet pieces.
In some cases, you’ll never see the patch; in others, you will. It is tough to say whether you will see the patch. Several factors will affect how the patch looks: the carpet’s style, the length of the nap (carpet fibers), the carpet’s age, and how faded, matted down, and dirty it is.
Absolutely
Yes, you can patch from dime-sized to as big as needed.
Sometimes, it depends on why the seam looks terrible. Remember, no seam is ever invisible. If an experienced installer installed the seam correctly, it should be less noticeable. Sometimes, you’ll need extra carpet to fix the scene properly if itis due to carpet delamination (separation of the secondary backing). Seams are looked at on a case-by-case basis.
