Damaged Carpet Edge at a Doorway? Here’s How to Fix It

One of the most common issues homeowners notice is a damaged carpet edge at a doorway, where the carpet meets wood flooring, tile, or another type of flooring. Over time, this area can fray, curl, or lift, creating a tripping hazard and making your home look worn. At Peoria Carpet Repair & Cleaning, we specialize in repairing damaged carpet edges and restoring your flooring to a safe, professional finish.

Why Carpet Edges at Doorways Get Damaged

There are several reasons carpet edges may become damaged in high-traffic areas like doorways:

Pet Damage: Dogs and cats may scratch or chew on the edge, causing fraying.
Aging Carpet Backing: Over time, the backing can weaken, causing the carpet to separate from the tack strip or flooring.
Tack Strip Issues: The tack strip may have loosened, failed, or been improperly installed, allowing the carpet to lift.
Poor Installation: Sometimes, carpet edges were not properly finished during the initial installation, leaving them vulnerable to damage.

According to The Carpet and Rug Institute, proper installation and secure tack strips are essential to prevent fraying and edge damage, especially in high-traffic areas.

How We Repair Damaged Carpet Edges

At Peoria Carpet Repair & Cleaning, our team uses specialized techniques to fix carpet edges in doorways and other high-wear areas:

Trimming and Re-Seaming: Frayed or curled edges are trimmed and re-secured to prevent further unraveling.
Tack Strip Replacement: If the tack strip is damaged, loose, or missing, we install a new strip to properly anchor the carpet.
Seam Repair or Re-Stretching: For edges separating from adjacent flooring, we carefully stretch and glue the carpet so it lays flat and looks seamless.
Patch or Repair for Pet Damage: If pets have caused extensive damage, we can replace a small section of carpet with a matching piece, creating a nearly invisible repair.
