How much does rug repair cost?
Repair costs scale with complexity. A single snag is quick and inexpensive. A large tear requires re-knotting multiple threads. We assess damage photos and provide quotes. Rush repairs are available. Repairs are investments but extend rug life significantly.
How do I arrange rug repair?
Ship your rug to us or drop it off if local. Include a note describing the damage and your preferred contact. We assess, quote, and wait for your approval before starting repairs. You’ll receive updates and photos of the work. We ship back with care to ensure the repair arrives safely.
How do I budget for a custom rug project?
Simple budgeting: determine rug size first. Larger rugs cost more per square foot due to material volume. Material choice (wool vs. silk vs. synthetics) drives cost. Construction type (hand-knotted is priciest; hand-tufted and flatweaves are more affordable). Design complexity adds slightly. Provide a budget range early so we can propose appropriately.
What’s the price range for different rug types?
These are rough ranges for typical residential sizes. A small hand-knotted (5×8 ft) might be $8K–$12K; a large one (10×14 ft) could be $40K+. Hand-tufted offers more budget-friendly luxury. Flatweaves are practical and affordable. Wall-to-wall pricing depends on room size and material. Discuss budget early so we propose appropriately.
Why is hand-knotted more expensive than hand-tufted?
Direct labour comparison: hand-knotted takes 2–3x longer than hand-tufted for the same size. Each knot is individual work; each tuft is faster. This multiplies labour costs. Hand-knotted is also more durable, justifying premium pricing. Hand-tufted is an excellent value for beauty and durability.
Why does silk cost more than wool?
Pure silk fibre costs significantly more than wool. Dyers and weavers require more expertise to handle silk without damage. Quality control is more rigorous. The result is a material that’s visually luxurious but more expensive to produce. Silk-wool blends offer balance.
Does design complexity affect cost?
Complex patterns aren’t drastically more expensive than simple ones. The primary cost driver is still size and construction, not design. However, very high-detail designs in hand-knotted do require premium artisans, adding cost. We discuss this during design development.
Can I request a revised sample?
One revision per sample is often included; additional revisions are charged. However, if a revision is due to our misunderstanding or error, we absorb the cost. Provide specific feedback to ensure we address your concerns accurately. Revision timelines are 2–3 weeks typically.
Can I make changes after sample approval?
If you request changes after production starts, we pause work, adjust dyes or looms, and restart—adding 2–4 weeks and costs. This is why we invest in the design and sampling phases. If a change is essential, we discuss feasibility and additional costs upfront.
How much do samples cost?
Sample investments are reasonable and fully applied toward production. This ensures you’re confident before committing to a 8–12 week production. Multiple colour or design options can be sampled; costs scale with options. Sampling is worth the investment to avoid production changes.
