Question

How much should i expect to pay a professional to patch a damaged area of carpet less than 1 sq foot?

Answer 1

It depends.  How complicated the pattern, how dense the carpet, and it's age all affect how difficult it will be to match and hide the repair.  A good range would be $40-$75.  Negotiate directly with the installer, carpet companies, and such all want their cut, which they add to the installers fee.

Answer 2

Well they would charge at least $120 to $155.

Answer 3

Nothing if you have a carpet knife, a closet with the same carpet and a roll of carpet tape from Lowe's.

Cut a piece from the closet slightly larger then the hole, cut out the damaged area and carefully fit the new piece in taking care to match the direction of the carpet weave. Then using the tape cover the hole, sticky side up, and install the new piece. Quick, easy and cheap.  It's what the professional is going to do.
