I appreciate the simplicity of this video, instead of using the fancy tools, you made it so an average home owner can do it too.
Thank you!! My bunny chewed a corner of the carpet and I can’t let my grandma find out 🤣🤣
That’s why I’m here 😂 my bunny has tore up our brand new carpet in our townhome need to repair it before we move out 😂
Same! Lol darn bunnies
Omg my bunny 🐰 chewed my carpet up too😿
Saved me from losing my damage deposit 💯👏🙌👏many thanks
That's awesome to know, you're welcome!
Same. You're a gem, good energy, thanks for showing me how!
THANK YOU!!! my cat damaged the corner of the door because she hates being left in the room!! im def going to try to this soon because i don't want to lose my deposit
Thanks! Very helpful. Cats are jerks but we love them. You Helped me fix my carpet.
You're welcome!
My cat did the same thing
My cat, Major Tom, rips up the carpet on the edges of the steps going upstairs. I will definitely need to do this before I move out of this apartment.
My cats do not like closed doors lol, thanks for this
Nice work! Any additional tips or tricks for repairing no pile, berber-like carpet?
Without the carpet nap to blend in, I imagine the patch will be very obvious.
Thank you! I should make a video on that, that is a great question.
Cutting Berber is easy when cutting between the rows but when cutting across the rows there are some precautions to consider.
I will make a note to try and get a video together on that, thank you again!
AWESOME Job and video. Thanks. I have 2 areas and this is so helpful.
You're welcome! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Thanks for the video. Our puppy pulled all the fibers out of a small spot by our bathroom door and I needed to see how to repair it up against a tile threshold. So we don't need to iron or steam the seams? I always thought you did. All we need is seam tape and glue? What kind of glue? Thank you again. You are really helping me out.
You're welcome! Hot glue gun and seam tape is the cheapest way but I think steam iron on the patch is better. Here is a video showing the different ways to do it. ua-cam.com/video/kW4A_jkDc5M/v-deo.html
Great job Nick, those patches were excellent
Thank you I appreciate that.
Where to get carpet from that matches relatively close to what's there? I want to fix a 6" size hole in the middle of my living room . Great video!
If there is no extra carpet then it can be taken from a closet area. Then a different piece can be put in the closet.
I love your intro on this video, that was great
Thanks Reuben, trying to be more creative :)
Hi! My house have similar type of carpet in the video, can you pls tell me where or how can I get a patch of it? Thank you so much.
How long after a repair like this would you wait to have the carpet cleaned? Landlord wants to clean carpet but I need fix a patch so I’m not charged even more for it
The repair is usually fine after about 10 minutes, I have cleaned thousands of jobs right after repairing with no issues.
What kind of glue did you use? I wold like to watch all the procidure.
Could you use a box cutter if you don't have the cushion back tool?
nice door patch. What method did you use to glue
Thank you! For all my smaller patches I use my Black and Decker steam iron to heat the seam tape from the top.
Do you have a video on that?
Looks perfect 👍🏼
Thank you!
What do you do if an area of carpet is lifting along one of those 'metal strips' that separate carpet from vinyl? Vacuuming pulled it up from under the strip, and I can see some 'mesh' too. This area was worked on and 'stretched' mannny times by the builder because I saw some mesh showing from the jump. Must I remove that metal strip? Or can I nail or staple the carpet down? I'm afraid to mess with this area because every time the builder worked on it, the vinyl area near the door grew and grew as I lost more and more carpet in my dining room. I have no extra carpet.
Also, there is an area of carpet against the baseboard that wasn't flush with the floor, sounded crunchy, so vacuuming along the baseboard sort of 'brushed' the lifted area of carpet fibers. It looks like I had the vacuum cleaner sitting there running for 15 minutes. Same room.
If you have pictures that would be super helpful, you can always email me at goldcoast7000@gmail.com and I can see exactly what you're talking about.
Whered you get the new carpet patch? Should i go to my local home depot and find carpet samples similar to my carpet color? I have this exact damage at my 2nd bedroom door from my kitty. Almost think i might cut out carpet from my linen closet and fix it and then use sample carpet for the closet
Yes, that is exactly how to do it if there is no extra carpet left over to match. Take as much carpet as you need from the closet for the repair to match and then put similar carpet (as close as you can get) into the closet.
How do you find the right rug
Lol cool glide is only worth using it for pattern matches. Tapes are crazy expensive. Nice video btw I'm sac town holla at me when u need help lol
Yeah I can see it definitely coming in handy with those so you can stop and work the pattern. Good to know, shoot me an email with your number goldcoast7000@gmail.com. I mostly do smaller jobs but sometimes get larger installs and could definitely use some help.
Where can you buy carpet ?
Awesome video, thanks for sharing👍👍
You're welcome!
What seem tape did you use? It doesn't require heat? I'm trying to fix my carpet for the first time too.
I used regular carpet seam tape that can be found at home depot or lowes and it does require heat. Here is a video explaining more on it - ua-cam.com/video/kW4A_jkDc5M/v-deo.html
I am in Texas. How do I price repairs like this. So much a door? Thanks for the video.
You're welcome! There are a couple of things that can change the pricing. For example, the type of carpet you're working with, if the client has extra carpet, and the size of the damaged area.
The carpet in this video is extremely easy to replace and the areas were small so I kind of priced it by how long everything would take me.
This job took a little less than 2 hours so I would want to make between $300-400 for everything.
@@justsaygold thank you I have been cleaning carpet for a long time and am now offering repair.
@@cowboybob993 You're welcome and best of luck!
I got a job like this today how much do you charge per repair. Thanks in advance
It really depends on the job and what type of carpet it is. Also what area you work in can change the price from $60 a patch to $200 a patch. So too many factors to give a price without seeing the repair.
@@justsaygold I'm in Wisconsin I just charged him $30.00 per repair the where quite small I really underpriced myself aye
My problem is the pet damage is in a straight line rather than a patch. It’s the foyer transition to the living room and to the adjacent hallway (2 spots)But there’s no transition piece. And just randomly between that area. Also not a patch just a straight line. Any recommendations?
Sometimes an area like that can be cut and stretched together then glued but that is better left to a professional. Or a larger patch can be made across the doorway area.
Thanks
I can do it thank you
Where can I find a small piece of carpet ?
Where do you get seaming tape
Local Home Depot or Lowes or online.
How much do these cost though?
Every job is different depending on the type of carpet and how many total areas are damaged.
I don't remember exactly but I think this job was around $300-400 total.
We are in Roseville… do you still accept jobs? If so, how much do you charge & how soon could you be available?
BTW: Just checked out your website, so wanted to mention that although we are in Roseville, we’re right on the border of Antelope.
@@caliscratcherfunmore9178 Yes I still do carpet repairs and cleaning. If you email me at goldcoast7000@gmail.com I can get you scheduled!
Where do I find carpet that match mine !!? 😢
Here is how I usually do the repairs if there is no extra carpet left over from the installation - ua-cam.com/video/_ilkP7ewCu4/v-deo.html
@@justsaygold thank you 🌱
What do we do if we don't have a spare piece of carpet? We rent and don't have any extra anywhere. We have 1 cat that just won't stop. Our 2 sons close their doors at night so the cats don't tear up their shelves and Remy just can't stand being on the "outside NOT looking in". Ya know?
If there is no spare carpet then I'll usually take a piece from a closet, here's a video showing the process - ua-cam.com/video/_ilkP7ewCu4/v-deo.html .
If there are no closets to get carpet from then I'm not sure.
How do you get the carpet to stick and stay put?
There are different ways to glue the carpet, here are 2 videos showing do it yourself methods and professional methods.

@@justsaygold, great thank you. I have some carpet fibers that a puppy is ripping up right where the carpet meets vinyl flooring. I’m not sure if this a DIY job for someone that has no carpet experience. 🤷🏻♂️
@@LawnDad There definitely are a couple tricks you pick up doing it everyday so I can see how DIY might be a challenge.
Would you recommend cleaning carpet before repairs of after? Thanks.
That's a great question. I always clean after repairs so I'm not bringing my tools all over the clean carpet. So that's what I recommend.
Why do I have the same exact patch missing wtfff and the same carpettrr
where you get carpet to replace with ?
Sometimes home owners will have some left over from the original installation. If not I usually take a piece from a spare closet to do the repairs and then replace the closet with different carpet.
You didn’t show the part I needed to see. How did you make it stick in there???

Great tutorial video! Would you please provide a list of tool used for the repair? Thanks 👍
Here are most of the tools I use - ua-cam.com/video/03QinMq-ir0/v-deo.html
my cat keeps scratching the top step. i hope im able to repair carpet on a stair
Do you think that if I replace a tack strip with seaming tape it will hold ? My cat ruined the carpet around the edges a while back and I had to hammer down the tacks so the kids would stop hurting themselves on them, anyway, if I patch up my carpet I’d rather just get rid of the tack strips do you think that’d be wise?
You can keep the tack strips and hammer down the pins on the tack strip. Then you can just use a staple gun or this handheld one - www.homedepot.com/p/Arrow-T50-Heavy-Duty-Staple-Gun-T50/100021099?g_store=650&source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&mtc=Shopping-B-F_D25T-G-D25T-25_2_FASTENING_TOOLS-Multi-NA-Feed-PLA-NA-NA-FasteningTools_PLA&cm_mmc=Shopping-B-F_D25T-G-D25T-25_2_FASTENING_TOOLS-Multi-NA-Feed-PLA-NA-NA-FasteningTools_PLA-71700000034127203-58700003933017529-92700032538272469&gclid=CjwKCAjwruSHBhAtEiwA_qCppp-jY91_rQaVb7CKDI5atkmsCfl9w8pDpy5xfrDIGdiMnH-IcnQytxoCIGMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Just separate the carpet fibers and staple into the tack strip, I think that is the best way.
I have two spots that need repair and I don't have spare carpet, what could I do? who should I call?
If there is no spare carpet then my option is to take some from a closet. If no closet than I don't know what to tell you. And I would try to find a carpet installer who does carpet repairs as well.
Seaming tape and glue? How does that work?
Evidence of the earliest known use of adhesives was discovered in central Italy when two stone flakes partially covered with birch-bark tar and a third uncovered stone from the Middle Pleistocene era (circa 200,000 years ago) were found. This is thought to be the oldest discovered human use of tar-hafted stones.
The birch-bark-tar adhesive is a simple, one-component adhesive. A study from 2019 showed that birch tar production can be a very simple process-merely involving the burning of birch bark near smooth vertical surfaces in open air conditions. Although sticky enough, plant-based adhesives are brittle and vulnerable to environmental conditions. The first use of compound adhesives was discovered in Sibudu, South Africa. Here, 70,000-year-old stone segments that were once inserted in axe hafts were discovered covered with an adhesive composed of plant gum and red ochre (natural iron oxide) as adding ochre to plant gum produces a stronger product and protects the gum from disintegrating under wet conditions. The ability to produce stronger adhesives allowed middle Stone Age humans to attach stone segments to sticks in greater variations, which led to the development of new tools.
More recent examples of adhesive use by prehistoric humans have been found at the burial sites of ancient tribes. Archaeologists studying the sites found that approximately 6,000 years ago the tribesmen had buried their dead together with food found in broken clay pots repaired with tree resins. Another investigation by archaeologists uncovered the use of bituminous cements to fasten ivory eyeballs to statues in Babylonian temples dating to approximately 4000 BC.
In 2000, a paper revealed the discovery of a 5,200-year-old man nicknamed the "Tyrolean Iceman" or "Ötzi", who was preserved in a glacier near the Austria-Italy border. Several of his belongings were found with him including two arrows with flint arrowheads and a copper hatchet, each with evidence of organic glue used to connect the stone or metal parts to the wooden shafts. The glue was analyzed as pitch, which requires the heating of tar during its production. The retrieval of this tar requires a transformation of birch bark by means of heat, in a process known as pyrolysis.
The first references to adhesives in literature appeared in approximately 2000 BC. Further historical records of adhesive use are found from the period spanning 1500-1000 BC. Artifacts from this period include paintings depicting wood gluing operations and a casket made of wood and glue in King Tutankhamun's tomb. Other ancient Egyptian artifacts employ animal glue for bonding or lamination. Such lamination of wood for bows and furniture is thought to have extended their life and was accomplished using casein (milk protein)-based glues. The ancient Egyptians also developed starch-based pastes for the bonding of papyrus to clothing and a plaster of Paris-like material made of calcined gypsum.
From AD 1 to 500 the Greeks and Romans made great contributions to the development of adhesives. Wood veneering and marquetry were developed, the production of animal and fish glues refined, and other materials utilized. Egg-based pastes were used to bond gold leaves incorporated various natural ingredients such as blood, bone, hide, milk, cheese, vegetables, and grains. The Greeks began the use of slaked lime as mortar while the Romans furthered mortar development by mixing lime with volcanic ash and sand. This material, known as pozzolanic cement, was used in the construction of the Roman Colosseum and Pantheon. The Romans were also the first people known to have used tar and beeswax as caulk and sealant between the wooden planks of their boats and ships.
In Central Asia, the rise of the Mongols in approximately AD 1000 can be partially attributed to the good range and power of the bows of Genghis Khan's hordes. These bows were made of a bamboo core, with horn on the belly (facing towards the archer) and sinew on the back, bound together with animal glue.
In Europe, glue fell into disuse until the period AD 1500-1700. At this time, world-renowned cabinet and furniture makers such as Thomas Chippendale and Duncan Phyfe began to use adhesives to hold their products together. In 1690, the first commercial glue plant was established in The Netherlands. This plant produced glues from animal hides. In 1750, the first British glue patent was issued for fish glue. The following decades of the next century witnessed the manufacture of casein glues in German and Swiss factories. In 1876, the first U.S. patent (number 183,024) was issued to the Ross brothers for the production of casein glue.
The first U.S. postage stamps used starch-based adhesives when issued in 1847. The first US patent (number 61,991) on dextrin (a starch derivative) adhesive was issued in 1867.
Natural rubber was first used as material for adhesives starting in 1830, which marked the starting point of the modern adhesive. In 1862, a British patent (number 3288) was issued for the plating of metal with brass by electrodeposition to obtain a stronger bond to rubber. The development of the automobile and the need for rubber shock mounts required stronger and more durable bonds of rubber and metal. This spurred the development of cyclized rubber treated in strong acids. By 1927, this process was used to produce solvent-based thermoplastic rubber cements for metal to rubber bonding.
Natural rubber-based sticky adhesives were first used on a backing by Henry Day (US Patent 3,965) in 1845. Later these kinds of adhesives were used in cloth backed surgical and electric tapes. By 1925, the pressure-sensitive tape industry was born. Today, sticky notes, Scotch Tape, and other tapes are examples of pressure-sensitive adhesives.
A key step in the development of synthetic plastics was the introduction of a thermoset plastic known as Bakelite phenolic in 1910. Within two years, phenolic resin was applied to plywood as a coating varnish. In the early 1930s, phenolics gained importance as adhesive resins.
The 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s witnessed great advances in the development and production of new plastics and resins due to the First and Second World Wars. These advances greatly improved the development of adhesives by allowing the use of newly developed materials that exhibited a variety of properties. With changing needs and ever evolving technology, the development of new synthetic adhesives continues to the present. However, due to their low cost, natural adhesives are still more commonly used.
What tools do I need for this?

where is the carpet from
Sometimes home owners will have some left over from the original installation. If not I usually take a piece from a spare closet to do the repairs and then replace the closet with different carpet.
Where can i buy piece of carpet??
Any local carpet store near you, or a Home Depot or Lowes should carry some carpet.
New installers who only use Kool glide have an entire set of skills they'll never learn. If I were to buy one I could use on new installs, but any repair job or existing carpet would have hot melt tape. It'll have to sit in the van for most or all my side jobs. The company I sub out supplies seam tape. Not much incentive atm to pay 500 for Kool glide
I hear you, I had a friend buy one as a gift for me and that's why I use it on all my repairs.
I actually use the Kool glide for most repairs and the hot melt iron if I do an install.
Seeing the entire repair would be helpful- if you’ve never repaired carpet before, you want to see how you attach it to the carpet rails and /or secure it against the threshold or another type floor covering. Have to spend more time trying to find video on finishing the repair you started. Otherwise I would’ve given you a thumbs up. I thought you were great, but you need to finish the example patch so people see how you complete it from start to finish. Thank you - otherwise good video.
Thank you for letting me know, I'll keep that in mind for future videos!
You skipped a lot of what it takes to repair, how did you put in the seeming tape?
ua-cam.com/video/kW4A_jkDc5M/v-deo.html
But he didnt finish showing us the rest of what gets down next once her cuts the patches ?
My carpet is the same from my cats trying to dig there way in
okay but how do I get the extra carpet in a rental lol
? If there is no extra carpet, then a piece is used from a closet to do the repairs and then similar carpet is replaced in the closet.
Thanks my gfs stupid black cat made a hole in my carpet
our door wasn’t eeven closed and on one of the last days of our lease our cat scratched out the carpet for fun 🥲
