When a rug is damaged — whether from years of wear, a moth infestation, pet accidents, or an unexpected tear — the instinct is often to replace it. But most rugs, even severely damaged ones, can be restored. At Zeytounian Rugs, rug repair is a craft we have practiced for 70 years, passed down through three generations of a family that understands the value of what you own.
Our San Diego repair facility handles every type of rug damage, from fringe and binding repairs to full reweaving of holes and moth-eaten areas. We work on Persian, Turkish, Indian, Pakistani, Moroccan, Kilim, silk, and wool rugs — and every repair is done by hand by our skilled craftsmen. No shortcuts, no machines. The same hands that assess your rug are the ones that restore it.
Before any repair begins, we evaluate the rug’s construction, fiber content, and the nature of the damage. This allows us to recommend the most appropriate repair method for your specific piece — and give you an honest assessment of what’s possible. Our goal is always to preserve both the structural integrity and the aesthetic of your rug, so the repair is seamless and the rug’s life is meaningfully extended
We offer a full range of repair services that can cover all types of damages. Armed with years of experience, we take into consideration the type of rug, its monetary value, as well as its sentimental worth before deciding which repair would best be fit for your rug.
Our team of highly skilled weavers possesses a wealth of expertise in the art of repairing a diverse range of rugs including Persian, Turkish, Indian, Pakistan, Moroccan, Kilims, Silk and many other types. With our extensive knowledge, we’re well-versed in various methods of rug restoration. We will be able to assist you in identifying the most suitable option for your specific rug type and budget.
The life of your rug can be extended!
All our work is done by hand. The two ends of the fringes are the foundation of where your rug begins and finishes. Over the years of normal wear and tear, your rug may begin to unravel, leading to the gradual loss of its structure and certain portions of the rug. Through a process called chain stitching, we can secure the ends and fringes to bring your rug back to life. We can also reweave the fringe on your rug or add new fringe.
