We are currently in a rental and our dogs chewed up some of our carpet. The carpet is berber and we have left over carpet in storage from when it was installed. One chewed up piece is in a corner and the other is a long rectangle area maybe 2 feet long by 7 or 8 inches wide. That area that is chewed up is in the middle of the carpet. Is there any way to just cut out the peices and replace them with the extra carpet we have or is that not doable with berber carpet? If we can do it can you tell me how or who to contact. Thank you so much!
the right comparable difficulty surpassed off to me some months in the past - darn canines. i attempted hairspray first, and it made the blue ink greater conventional and purple! It did lighten somewhat, even with the shown fact that it replace into on no account long gone. Then i attempted Fantastik spray, which helped, yet finally the appropriate answer (which I in basic terms tried out of sheer desperation - I lease - i ought to easily think of the heinous bill i replace into going to be hit with) replace into SHOUT! have faith it or no longer, I poured a TON of the gel on the spots, rubbed it in and allow it take a seat for an hour. I got here back and scrubbed like there replace into no the following day, and you could now no longer even tell the place the ink replace into - and it replace into undesirable. I actually have a delicate beige carpeting and it labored for me! sturdy success!
I have repaired a place like that. I laid out a piece just bigger than the bad spot, cut through both layers, that left the new cut an exact match of where the old was cut out. then I used the hot glue gun and glued it in very carefully. It looks good but if you look close you can see the seam. Hope this is helpful.
You can patch, which is a little tougher with Berber than with regular plush carpet, because the beber doesn't hid the patching very well. In addition, because of the way berber wears and flattens, it's probably going to be very noticable, especially if the hole is in the middle of the room. We had success in some not highly worn areas by just patching. We cut the squares with the mesh a little bigger than the holes, and used carpet staples to hold it down. This was at some door ways, and not noticable when done unless you were looking closely. In a more worn area, the new patch stuck out like a sore thumb, because the carpet around it was worn. We wore it down at the edges a bit by scuffing it up a bit with the vaccum and steam cleaner, and in the end, you can see it, but not SO visibly. We only patched because recarpeting would have involved three large rooms and a hallway due to the frayed areas. You can contact any carpet laying company to come out and assess, and let you know if patching is possible. Berber, honestly, is usually often easier to replace the whole room.
Berber will be harder to match, but if you've never patched carpet you will not like the results. Somethings are just cheaper to leave to the pros who have experience and all the necessary tools and materials. I would check with a carpet cleaner who can fix carpet too. This would allow the repair to be part of the cleaning in the same visit, so it would be cheaper. You could just let your landlord have it fixed, but you should know how much it should cost so you don't get ripped off. If your landlord has a professional fix the carpet, the landlord must live with the result, he can't just say he doesn't like your work, or your carpet guy's work. Finally, a good source for new carpet is in you closets. Did you pay a pet deposit? That should cover you. Do you have renter's or household insurance? That should cover you too.
