Matching Existing Carpet

Carpet patching is a simple system of carefully cutting out the damaged area and replacing it with a patch of donor carpet of the same size.

Matching existing carpet. Because the donor area is filled in either with a piece of remnant carpet or is left unrepaired carpet patching is considered to be imperfect but a net overall improvement. My advice is this. All you have to do it remodel the existing carpet so that it accommodates the transition strip. I wouldn t opt for carpet squares right away as these aren t usually the same pile and look as residential rolled carpet.

If you already have hardwood flooring in some areas of your home and are looking to add more trying to match the two surfaces is next to impossible. Matching the existing carpet is going to be the key that will make or break this. You will likely never get an exact match. A brand new carpet simply won t have the same abuse.

You current carpet is partially worn and dirty and possibly faded from the sun previous cleaning. Even if you are able to find the exact material from the same manufacturer your existing floor will show signs of age. First thing is the existing water service doesn t have shut offs so i run to the store once to pick up some new shark bite service connections. What is hardwood floor matching.

Pull the carpet over the top using a knee kicker. Take a portion of the carpet and start looking around your local home depot or other carpet place to find a close match. You will never find an exact match. Cut the edge of the carpet so that it reaches the edge of the tile perfectly.
