Ranked 2026
Best Rug Repair Companies in NYC (2026)
The listed companies that repair rugs as well as clean them, ranked by the RugRate Score. Repair is a craft, and it is the one job that should never be priced over the phone.
Ordered by the RugRate Score, not by payment. 23 listed companies offer this service; the top 10 are below.
How This Ranking Is Built
Repair is where the gap between companies is widest. Cleaning can be systematised; reweaving cannot. A company that lists repair among a dozen services is not the same as one with a workshop, which is why the evidence behind a rating matters more here than anywhere else.
- Customer rating — 2.5 the review-count-weighted average of every rating the company holds
- Weight of evidence — 1.0 how many reviews stand behind that average
- Track record — 0.75 years in business, as the company states them
- Listing completeness — 0.75 address, where rugs are cleaned, services, platforms, specifics
Nothing here is for sale, and none of it is our opinion of the cleaning. The full formula, and every company’s breakdown on its own profile.

What Separates a Good Rug Repair Company From a Bad One
- Quoted on sightA repair price given before anyone has seen the damage is a placeholder. Expect an inspection and a written figure afterwards.
- Repair kept separate from cleaningThe two should be priced separately. Folded together, you cannot tell what you are paying for either.
- Matching materialsWool, dye lot and knot count all have to match for a reweave to disappear. Ask to see work they have done on a similar rug.
- What they declineA repairer who tells you a rug is not worth the cost of the work is giving you the most valuable answer on the list.
What Rug Repair Costs in New York
$3–$10 per linear foot for binding and serging
Fringe cleaning runs $1–$3 per linear foot. Reweaving, moth damage and structural work are quoted after inspection, and any company that prices them sight-unseen is guessing.
Citywide ranges from the RugRate price reference, not quotes from the companies above. Estimate your own job or read how rug repair works.
What This Ranking Does Not Tell You
- It does not measure the quality of the cleaning. It measures how well a company can be checked before you hire it.
- A good new company ranks low, because it has few reviews and no long track record. That is a limit of the evidence, not a judgement.
- It is not a licence, insurance or background check. Ask for a certificate of insurance before anyone starts.
- It covers listed companies only. A company that is not on RugRate is absent, not excluded.
Best Rug Repair Companies in NYC — FAQs
How is this ranking decided?
By the RugRate Score, computed from ratings, review volume, years in business and listing completeness. It ranks how well evidenced a company is, not how skilled its weavers are — for repair especially, use it as a shortlist and then ask to see comparable work.
What does rug repair cost in New York?
Binding and serging run about $3–$10 per linear foot and fringe cleaning $1–$3 per linear foot. Reweaving, moth damage and water damage are quoted after inspection.
Can a rug be repaired and cleaned at the same time?
Usually the rug is cleaned first, because damage is easier to assess and repair on a clean foundation. Ask for the two to be quoted as separate lines either way.
Is it worth repairing an inexpensive rug?
Often not. A common rule is that if the work costs more than about 40% of what the rug would cost to replace, and it has no sentimental value, replacing it is the better call.
