TACOMA & PIERCE COUNTY
Since 1939, HammondKnoll has helped homeowners across the Puget Sound preserve and restore the surfaces that make a house feel like home. From wall-to-wall carpet repair to delicate Oriental and heirloom rug restoration, our work is guided by one principle:
Repair, don’t replace.
UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS
Carpet and rug repair is the process of restoring damaged flooring materials to their original structure, appearance, and function without full replacement.
Unlike cleaning, which removes soil and contaminants, repair focuses on correcting physical damage.
Professional repair techniques allow technicians to re-stretch, patch, re-weave, reinforce, or re-dye materials so they perform and look as they should.
For homeowners searching for carpet repair, the goal is often to fix the problem without starting over. In many cases, that is exactly what repair allows.
THE SMARTER CHOICE
Replacing carpet or rugs can be costly, disruptive, and often unnecessary. Repair offers a more practical, efficient, and thoughtful solution.
Compared to full replacement, repair allows you to restore comfort and appearance without reshaping your entire space.
Just as importantly, repair preserves what already belongs in your home.
Homeowners throughout Tacoma and Pierce County trust Hammond Knoll for careful, dependable carpet care.
OUR SERVICES
Rug repair requires specialized knowledge. Materials, weaving techniques, and construction methods vary widely, and each rug must be treated accordingly. Hammond Knoll repairs Persian, Oriental, Navajo, Chinese, Flokati, braided, hooked, wool, silk, and specialty rugs using techniques specific to each type.
Fringe is part of the rug’s structure. When it becomes damaged, the rug itself can begin to unravel. We replace or reinforce fringe and secure the ends to preserve the integrity of the piece.
Edges protect the rug and prevent long-term damage.
Binding uses a durable stitched tape, ideal for machine-made rugs
Serging creates a continuous stitched edge, commonly used for hand-tied or higher-end rugs
Beyond repair, we offer customization services that allow you to adapt and preserve rugs:
This allows homeowners to preserve meaningful pieces while adapting them to changing needs.
OUR SERVICES
Hammond Knoll provides in-home carpet repair services throughout Tacoma, Kent, Puyallup, and the greater Puget Sound area. Each repair is carefully evaluated and tailored to your carpet’s condition and your home’s needs.
Loose or wrinkled carpet is common in Pacific Northwest homes, often caused by humidity, heavy furniture, or installation issues. We remove excess slack, typically 1 to 3 inches, and re-tension the carpet to restore a smooth, secure surface. Most stretching repairs are completed the same day.
When damage is localized, we remove the affected section and replace it with matching carpet, often sourced from a closet or installation remnants. We repair:
In some cases, bleach spots can be corrected through targeted re-dyeing.
THE HAMMOND KNOLL DIFFERENCE
HammondKnoll has a full in-house fabrication team — including specialists like Julie, Jerry, Ryan, & Tom — handling everything from fringe and edging to custom re-weaving and resizing.
Founded in Tacoma in 1939, Hammond Knoll has been repairing carpets and rugs across the Puget Sound for generations. Technicians train on the job alongside veterans with up to 25 years of experience, passing down craft skills that don’t come from a certification course.
Our technicians can evaluate the condition of your carpets or rugs and recommend the best approach for your home.
