Austin’s Best Professional Carpet Patching Service
Pet damage from your dog or cat is the most common reason for a carpet patch. But here are some other common carpet problems that I can fix with carpet patching holes, fraying, bleach spots, stains, burns, rips, home remodeling, and much more.
Carpet Patching is cutting out the damaged area of the carpet 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 on 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 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 are only meant for temporary carpet repairs and will not last. Glue guns are messy, and if not done correctly, the patch will look bad and not last. Putting a hot iron over a wet cloth on top of the carpet can leave a light sheen or melt it. In addition, it doesn’t completely melt the seam tape in most cases and 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 in nicely if the carpet is newer and has not had much traffic. However, the patch will show if it is worn or dirty. Having the carpet cleaned professionally after having it done will help with how it looks. 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 in the Austin area on the 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).

The donor peace 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 scenario, we can take it from underneath a piece of furniture.

In some cases, you’ll never see the patch, and other times you will see it. It is tough to say whether you will see the patch. Several things will affect how the patch will look: the carpet’s style, the length of the nap (carpet fibers), the age of the carpet, how faded, how matted down, and how dirty the carpet is.

Yes, you can patch from the size of the dime to as big as needed.
Sometimes, it depends on the reason the seam looks terrible. Remember, NO seam is ever invisible. If an experienced installer correctly did the seam, it should be less noticeable. In some cases, you’ll need extra carpet to fix the scene properly if it is because of carpet delamination (separation of secondary backing). Seams are looked at on a case-by-case basis.
