My dog tore up our carpet because he was locked in our bedroom & tried to claw/dig his way out...?

Question

Is there a way to repair this carpet that was torn up without having to replace the entire room? I can hire a professional to come do it if it means they can repair just that part that was torn up. Thanks!

Answer 1

yes, you can have a pro fix it if you know the brand/style of carpet that you need.  They will cut out the damaged part and fill in with a block of new. It won't match exactly because your replacement piece is new and has less wear, but at least you'll have a matching "patch" over the torn up spot.

Answer 2

Maybe the closet has apiece big enough to patch or under the bed even.Dont try on your own.

Answer 3

You can always get a patch job done. Hiring a pro is the right way to go, of course, but you might be able to save some $$ on labor by clearing out the carpet you need replaced.

Get a drywall knife/x-acto and make a straight cut through the carpet. Go slowly you stay in the same line. After you get a couple inches cut, you can lift the carpet and slice the knife through a little easier.

Having a straight edge guiding your cut is recommended. Then call the carpet guys and have them give you bid for the job.  

Answer 4

i had a carpet repair guy repair a couple of areas in a house i was renting and he stapled it and it looked like c**p. if they glue it down it may look better. its not that hard to do it yourself if you got an extra piece of carpet if not i would replace all of it, because it will not match.

Answer 5

cut out the torn part and get the same or similar piece and bond it together.

Answer 6

If you have any excess carpet or a peice from the closet a carpet installer could cut out the damaged area & seam in a new peice.

Wouldn't bother removing the damaged peice, not gonna save any $$.

It would be better to let a pro do it so he can determine what you have to work with.

I usually charge around $50 - $75
