Your prized rug doesn’t fit your new space? Don’t replace it—resize it. Oriental Rug Cleaning NY provides master-level rug alterations for handmade, antique, and machine-made carpets across NYC, Connecticut, and New Jersey.
Whether you are moving into a New York City apartment, a home in the Connecticut suburbs, or a New Jersey estate, layout changes shouldn’t mean losing your favorite rug.

- Precision Cutting: Master weavers use specialized tools to maintain the integrity of the hand-knotted foundation.
- Professional Edge Finishing: Choose between Surging (wrapping yarn around the edge) or Binding (fabric tape) to match the original style.
- Final Inspection: A final quality check and optional deep clean before your custom-fitted rug is delivered back to your home.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can any rug be resized? A: Yes. We work with everything from delicate antique silk and wool rugs to modern synthetic machine-made carpets. We evaluate each rug individually to ensure the safest method is used.
Q: How much does rug resizing cost? A: Pricing is based on the rug’s material and the total linear footage of the binding or surging required. We offer free, no-obligation quotes for all Tri-State residents.
Q: Does resizing a rug ruin its value? A: When performed professionally, resizing preserves the rug’s functional value. A perfectly fitted rug is far more valuable to a homeowner than an oversized rug that remains in storage.
