Carpet repair in Lake Oswego,
done so the patch disappears.
Stains that won't come out, burns, pet damage and seams that split. We cut out the damaged section, fit a matching piece and heat-seam it in. Family-owned and IICRC certified, with 40+ years of carpet repair in Lake Oswego homes.
We work all over Lake Oswego, from First Addition, Old Town and Evergreen to Lake Grove, Westlake, Palisades, Mountain Park and Forest Highlands. A lot of homes here have carpet that's been in place a long time and still has plenty of life left, so repairing one bad spot makes more sense than re-carpeting a whole floor.
Can you find the repair?
The stain is on top. The patch is underneath.
This Lake Oswego homeowner had a stain that cleaning wouldn't remove. We cut the stained section out with straight edges, set in a matching piece and heat-seamed it in place.
In the photo, the cut-out piece is resting on the carpet. The new section is right under it. The pile runs the same direction as the rest of the room, so the seam lines don't show.
If a stain has been cleaned more than once and keeps coming back, a patch is usually the fix. Here's how it works, step by step, in our carpet patching guide.
Carpet problems we fix
If the rest of the carpet is in good shape, the damaged spot can almost always be repaired for far less than new carpet.
Stains that won't come out
Like the job above. Try professional stain removal first. If it's set for good, we patch it.
Burns and bleach spots
Burned or bleached fibers can't be cleaned back. We replace the section.
Pet damage
Chewed doorways and scratched corners. For odor in the pad, see pet urine treatment in Lake Oswego.
Split and peaking seams
Re-seamed with heat-bonded tape so the seam lays flat and stays closed.
Fraying at doorways
Trimmed clean with the right transition installed. If the carpet is loose there too, it may need stretching.
Water damage
Flooded carpet needs the water and wet pad out fast. See our water damage carpet page, with a recent Lake Oswego job.
Patterned and berber carpet
Harder to hide, because the pattern has to line up and loops can run. We'll tell you up front how well it will blend.
Where the replacement piece comes from
Leftover carpet
If you kept a remnant from the install, that's usually the best match. Check the garage or a basement shelf.
A closet or hidden spot
No remnant? We can take a piece from inside a closet and fill that spot with a close match, where nobody will see it.
Sun-faded rooms
Carpet near big windows fades over the years, so a closet piece can look brighter. We look at the color before cutting and pick the piece that blends best.
