Every type of rug damage. All in-house.
Moth damage
The most common repair we see. Larvae eat pile and foundation. Treatment, cleaning, and reweaving in sequence. Caught early, fully restorable.
From $8/sq inchWater damage
Emergency response available. Foundation saturation causes rot within days. RICA-certified damage reports for insurance claims.
Free assessmentFringe & side cord
Fringe reconstruction, side cord rewrapping, edge overcasting. Structural repairs that prevent further unraveling.
From $45/linear ftGeneral reweaving
Tears, holes, worn areas, pet damage. Hand reweaving matched to original knot density and dye colour.
From $8/sq inch
Moth damage grows exponentially with delay.
A larva feeding for 3 months does more than 10× the damage of a larva feeding for 2 weeks. The sooner you bring it in, the more we can save.

Repairs our clients thought were impossible

“I can't speak highly enough of Bobby and Ahmadi Rug! Before we called, we had significant damage to our handmade wool rugs from small clothing moths. I called several rug cleaning services and none came close to the level of expertise, service, and kindness I experienced with Bobby. They look great now and I'm so happy.”

“Wonderful! My handmade rug was restored and cleaned beautifully after having been on my floor for over 20 years with pets. The sides had been damaged from cats and the fringe was uneven. I had almost considered it beyond repair and was so surprised when it was rolled out in front of me.”
Deborah KraakChicago - ★★★★★
“My oriental rugs were sitting in flood water for over a week. Ahmadi Rug did such a wonderful job, I decided to bring them my damaged rugs from my Florida home — one had extensive moth damage. The Ahmadi family worked to restore a rug that had very high sentimental value to me.”

Nothing is outsourced. Ever.
Some services send rugs to a third-party reweaver. Ghorban Ahmadi performs or supervises every repair in our Skokie workshop — he trained under conservators whose work served the Louvre and British Museum.
