Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Reweaving damaged areas typically costs between $150 and $500 or more per section. The exact cost depends on the complexity of the rug's design, the type of material, and the extent of the damage. A skilled reweaver will spend considerably more time on intricate patterns or delicate materials like silk.
The main factors are the complexity of the repair and the materials involved. Basic services ($1.50–$2.50 per sq ft) cover minor repairs and general cleaning. Premium services ($3.75–$5 per sq ft) involve comprehensive restoration techniques like extensive reweaving or precise color restoration for delicate or heavily damaged rugs, requiring specialized skills and more time.
Small holes can start around $50 to repair, but this price can increase significantly up to $1,000 or more for larger or more complex holes that require matching intricate patterns and weaving new material into the rug structure.
Yes, color restoration or dyeing is often a separate service. It typically costs between $100 and $300 per section. The price will vary based on the size of the section needing restoration and the complexity of achieving an accurate color match with the existing dyes of the rug.
Absolutely. Material costs, such as specific yarns for reweaving, dyes for color restoration, or specialized cleaning agents, should be factored into your estimate. While labor often makes up a significant portion, these material expenses can add up, especially for high-quality or rare rug materials.
