Persian Rug Repair & Restoration in Vancouver

Shenasi Carpet is your trusted partner for Persian rug repair and rug restoration in Vancouver. If you are searching for carpet repair Vancouver, you have found a workshop that repairs rugs by hand, not a shop that sends them away. Based in North Vancouver and serving Vancouver, we offer free pickup and delivery in Vancouver, so a damaged rug never has to leave your home in your own car. All repair and restoration work is carried out by hand, under the direct supervision of our founder, Hossein Shenasi, a master rug weaver who began his craft at age 12 in Tabriz, Iran, and spent decades restoring hand-knotted rugs in the Tehran Bazaar. In Canada since 1979, we bring more than 40 years of hands-on expertise and care to every rug we restore.

Why Choose Shenasi Carpet for Carpet Repair in Vancouver?

Extensive Experience: Our founder, Hossein Shenasi, has personally repaired and restored Persian and Oriental rugs for over 40 years. He began weaving at age 12 in Tabriz, Iran, and spent decades restoring hand-knotted rugs in the Tehran Bazaar before coming to Canada in 1979. That lifetime of hand craft guides every repair we accept in Vancouver.
Specialized Services: We specialize in the repair of hand-knotted Persian, Oriental, tribal, antique, and silk rugs. From reweaving a worn foundation to rebuilding a fringe, we match the original knots, wool, and colours so the repair blends with the rug, rather than standing out from it.
Comprehensive Solutions: From repair and cleaning to sales and certified appraisal, we offer a complete range of services under one roof. Many Vancouver rugs need carpet cleaning in Vancouver before they are repaired, and many are given a rug appraisal after restoration, so you do not need to carry a fragile rug from shop to shop.
Customer Commitment: We do not consider a repair complete until you approve the result in person. Every job ends with a careful inspection, and we offer free pickup and delivery in Vancouver, so your rug is collected from your home and returned to you when the work is done.

Our Carpet Repair Services

Repair and restoration services:
- Reweaving holes and worn areas — when a rug has a hole, a thin patch, or a worn area where the foundation shows through, we reweave it by hand, knot by knot, matching the original wool, pattern, and colours, so the repair is strong enough to walk on and quiet enough to disappear into the rug.
- Fringe repair and replacement — a fringe is the end of the rug itself, not a decoration added afterwards, so a damaged fringe can unravel the whole rug. We secure loose ends, rebuild missing fringe, and replace fringe that can no longer be saved, in a style that suits the rug’s age and origin.
- Binding and serging — the sides of a rug take the most wear. We rebind and serge worn, frayed, or split edges by hand, protecting the foundation and stopping further loss of pile at the sides.
- Moth damage repair — moths eat wool pile and leave bare, patchy areas, often in rugs stored under a bed or in a closet. We clean out the damage, check for live moths, and reweave the eaten areas so the pattern reads again.
- Colour-run correction — when dyes bleed after a spill, a flood, or a bad wash, colours can run into neighbouring areas. We treat the affected wool, stabilise the dyes, and, where the pattern has been lost, restore it by hand.
- Resizing and alteration — when a rug no longer fits a room, a doorway, or a staircase, we can resize it or alter its shape, reworking the edges and fringe so the finished rug still looks complete and balanced.
Types of damage we address:
- Tears and frays
- Stains and discoloration
- Burns and holes
- Water damage
- Pet-related damage
Specialty rug repairs:
- Persian rug restoration
- Antique and heirloom rug repair
- Tribal and silk rug restoration

Our Process

Initial Assessment: We conduct a thorough evaluation of your rug in person to identify all areas of damage, including wear you may not have noticed, and provide a detailed assessment. The cost depends on the damage, assessed in person — there is no fixed price for a repair we have not seen.
Customized Repair Plan: Based on the assessment, we develop a tailored repair strategy that aligns with the specific needs of your rug, its age, its origin, and how it is used in your Vancouver home.
Expert Repair Execution: Our founder personally oversees every repair, applying traditional hand-knotting techniques, colour-matched natural dyes, and region-specific weaving methods learned over 40 years, ensuring the repaired area blends seamlessly with the original rug.
Final Inspection: We perform a comprehensive quality check to ensure the repair meets our high standards, checking the knots, the fringe, the edges, and the colours in natural light before the rug leaves the workshop.
Customer Approval: We present the restored rug to you for final approval, ensuring your satisfaction with the results, and return it to your Vancouver home with our free pickup and delivery service.

Expert Repair & Restoration in Vancouver

Before

Before: This hand-woven Iranian rug came to us from a Vancouver home with significant damage; left unrepaired, such damage spreads rapidly and can permanently diminish the rug’s value. Holes, worn areas, and loose fringe only get worse with daily use.

After: Hossein Shenasi and his team restored the damaged area using traditional hand-knotting techniques and color-matched wool to seamlessly blend with the original weave pattern, fully restoring the rug’s structural integrity. The rug went back to its Vancouver home ready to be walked on and enjoyed again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Choose Shenasi Carpet to clean 3 high end carpets.  From the moment I drove up to the back of their shop I knew I was at the right place.  Was able to see their technician carefully cleaning a carpet.  It was obvious he takes pride in what he was doing.  Saw the area where carpets are hung to dry.  All pretty basic stuff but all that’s required to do the job.  End result was excellent; returned on time and; reasonably priced.  Thank you

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a rug that we purchased in Morocco a few years ago serviced by Shenasi Carpet.  It needed to be cleaned, a corner repaired and an edge sewn to tighten it and minimize tassel fraying.  The staff seemed very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the cleaning and repair process that was needed.  Their explanation gave us the confidence in their expertise.  They provided us with a very reasonable quotation and an estimate for its completion. Right on time, we received a call stated that the work was completed.  The rug was picked up the next day.  The work was completed as promised and for the price as quoted.  We are totally satisfied with the work done and we are proud of the rug, a beautiful reminder of a great vacation. Overall, the team’s attention to detail and clear communication made the experience smooth and reassuring for us.
