Common Rug Issues That Require Expert Repair

Even the finest rugs can experience wear, accidents, or environmental damage over time. Frayed edges, missing fringe, holes, pet damage, moth activity, and water exposure can all compromise a rug’s beauty and structure. Left untreated, these issues worsen, shortening the life of your investment and diminishing its value. Early professional attention by Sharian’s experts ensures your rug remains a source of pride for years to come.

Why Timely Rug Restoration Matters – and What We Recommend

Delaying repairs can turn minor damage into costly restoration projects. A small tear can expand, weakened seams can unravel further, and moth damage can spread rapidly. At Sharian, we recommend having your rug inspected at the first sign of fraying, missing fringe, discoloration, or other structural concerns. Our tailored repair solutions safeguard the integrity of your rug while preserving its artistry, heritage, and value.

Expert Rug Repair & Restoration – Trusted Atlanta Craftsmanship

At Sharian, our rug repair and restoration services combine heritage craftsmanship with modern precision. As a fourth-generation, family-operated company, we specialize in preserving and restoring Oriental and Persian rugs with intricate detail and care. Every repair is completed at our Decatur facility by certified artisans, including Jim Garner, a Master Rug Cleaner and Certified Rug Specialist.

Our restoration process begins with a detailed assessment to determine the appropriate repair strategy—whether it’s edge reinforcement, fringe replacement, hole reweaving, or seam repair. We treat moth and pet damage with care, preserving the rug’s original structure and visual harmony.

When needed, we perform custom dye-matching and pattern reconstruction to ensure seamless integration with the original design. Repairs are done by hand, using traditional techniques that respect the rug’s heritage while restoring its functionality and beauty.

🧵 While not all damage can be fully reversed, expert restoration significantly extends the life and integrity of your rug, allowing it to be cherished for generations to come.

Cleaning was done very well on our rug, an antique Romanian wool area rug. The colors are brighter than I ever remember them being. Pick up service was perfect, and when I had an issue with delivery times, the owner dealt with issue courteously and promptly. I would recommend this service to anyone who needs an Oriental rug cleaned.

Have had Sharian clean many rugs for me, and do one repair. They are remarkably knowledgeable and thorough, and the rugs were beautifully cared for. Would use them again in a heartbeat. In an additional side note, I know them to be very supportive of community education and charitable causes, a commitment I appreciate in a business.
