What we see in Woodbury
Before anything leaves the house we photograph and document existing damage: moth grazing along the edges, old repairs and re-fringing, dry rot in the foundation, prior dye bleed, and any pet contamination. Antique pieces are dye-tested individually rather than by rug type, because a nineteenth-century vegetable-dyed piece and a modern chrome-dyed one behave nothing alike in water, and the older one is the one you can't replace.
Moth damage hides before it shows
Moths eat wool, and they do it where nobody looks — under furniture, along the edge that sits against a wall, and in rugs that have spent time rolled in storage. The first sign is thinning and a slightly fuzzy surface in a small area, not an obvious hole. By the time there's a hole, the foundation is often compromised around it. If we find active infestation at pickup we tell you immediately, because it will spread to every other wool item in the house.
Most requested here: area rug cleaning
Dry rot is the other thing worth catching early. A rug that's been stored damp, kept on a below-grade floor, or repeatedly soaked by a pet develops brittleness in the foundation. You can hear it — folding the rug produces a faint crackling. A rug with dry rot can still be washed, but it has to be handled differently and the owner needs to know before, not after.

How high-value rug work is quoted
Antique and hand-knotted pieces are quoted after inspection rather than from a rate card, because the work varies enormously. A stable, well-made wool rug is straightforward. A nineteenth-century vegetable-dyed piece with an unstable red, brittle foundation and old repairs is a different job requiring hand washing, controlled temperature and slow drying, and it is priced accordingly. We give you the number before we start. What we will not do is quote low to win the rug and then discover the difficulty at the plant.
Repairs, re-weaving and knowing when to stop
Re-weaving is genuine craft work, priced by the area restored, and on a good rug it is frequently worth it — a repaired hole in a piece worth several thousand dollars is straightforward arithmetic. On a machine-made rug it almost never is. Between those extremes sit the judgment calls: edge binding, secured fringe, and stabilizing a weak area before it becomes a hole. Our bias is toward doing the minimum that stops the damage progressing, then leaving the rest alone. Over-restoring an antique rug reduces what it is worth as surely as neglecting it does.
Seasonal rotation and proper storage
Households with several good rugs often rotate them seasonally, and the storage half of that is where damage happens. A rug should be cleaned before it goes away, because moths feed on soil and body oils far more readily than on clean wool. It should be rolled rather than folded, pile side in, around a tube rather than on itself, and wrapped in a breathable material — never plastic sheeting, which traps moisture against the foundation and produces mildew and dry rot. Store it off a concrete floor and out of an unconditioned attic. We handle collection, cleaning and wrapping for storage as a single visit.

(516) 894-2880Questions we get
What if my rug already has damage?
We document it in writing with photographs at pickup, before it leaves your home, so the condition is agreed in advance.
Can moth damage be repaired?
Yes, by re-weaving, though it's specialist work priced by the area. Stopping the infestation comes first.
How do I know if a rug has dry rot?
Fold it. A faint crackling from the foundation means the fibers have become brittle, usually from prolonged dampness.
Do you quote antique rugs over the phone?
No. They are quoted after inspection because dye stability, foundation condition and prior repairs change the work substantially.
Is re-weaving worth the cost?
On a valuable hand-knotted rug, usually yes. On a machine-made rug, almost never. We will tell you which you have.
