I just finished fixing a small burn hole that I tried to fix in the past which turned out badly. your video gave me the courage to try again. SUCCESS! Your calm demeanor and attention to detail did the trick. Thanks do much.

[@RandyLott]

Absolutely phenomenal video. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Very clear and detailed while remaining brief. Thanks!

[@roseflores-torres6837]

Honestly, you saved my carpet and most of all helped me save money! from a struggling college student lol, Thank you!

[@carpetguy]

YESSSS!!!

[@bizzleboy240]

Nah but these are literally the nicest comments I’ve ever seen on a video period. It’s a beautiful thing to see keep it up carpet guy!!

[@carpetguy]

You and so many viewers on here are so kind. Hope it helps people out. ❤️

[@talermartin3424]

This video most definitely saved my deposit. My dog tore a small hole in our carpet and I was afraid we’d have to recarpet the entire room. Thank you sooo much!!!

[@jaspersgurl29]

Thank you! As a first time home owner and puppy owner, my carpet is saved!

[@kurtcurtis2730]

What she said. 👍🏼

[@carolynbrubaker1619]

THANK YOU, THANk YOU, THANK YOU. You just save me a BUNCH of money on my rental! Multiple holes chewed in the carpet by the puppy the last tenants swore up and down they didn't have.

[@carpetguy]

Excellent!

[@ksinclair-garcia2092]

So happy I found your video! My daughter accidently locked our beagle in her bedroom and he tore up a little bit of carpet right at her door. Heading to Home Depot now for carpet squares

[@carpetguy]

Wish you all the best

[@willwright7314]

Had a desk chair on the carpet and it got stuck and rip out a chunk. This vid saved me from having to tell my parents and probably saved me from getting grounded. Thanks!

[@timothyparrish9418]

This is a lifetime skill, it feels great fixing something with ones own hands. Thank you for teaching.

[@Petite43]

I've seen a lot of videos, but by far yours is the easier and cheapest, I will be taking by supplies I ordered, like seam tape and roller. THANK YOU FOR SHARING !! i will send you a follow-up after I complete the process.

[@Gizmo72710]

Thank you so much! Our carpet is expensive and only three years old, our dog ate a hole in the middle of our living room! Puppies!😳 Anyway, the place that we bought the carpet from said there was nothing they could do that would not look bad….so, I looked up carpet repair, and found you! Our hero! We have carpet in the closet and in our garage steps that came from leftovers, and that is what we are using for repairs! Like a miracle!

[@carpetguy]

This is exactly why I made this tutorial. Awesome 👏

[@justinbennett1]

Just used your method to repair a hole where my puppy chewed through. Worked great, thank you!

[@greygravity864]

This is definitely a hair saver, I thought I was going to pull all of my hair out from panicking. Thank you so much!!

[@carpetguy]

Happy to help!!

[@sharona6672]

Really really helpful and clear simple concise instructions for ANYONE to follow! You're a gem! I'll send pics when I'm done with my repair!!!😃

[@BunyipToldMe]

A 300lb visitor bust the spring on my couch, and although I thought it funny, I ignored it while all the time the spring was cutting bald patches into my carpet. I've scrapped the couch and was about to despatch the carpet when I came upon your video. Despite the Atlantic Ocean, I would like to hug you sir (in a manly way) and salute the ingenuity of the American people. God bless you all!

Andrew Jones hahaha, this comment made my day!

[@DanielBrunton-b5t]

I recently bought a new home and the dog dug a hole in the carpet, using this guide I've repaired it, I can't even find the repair now thanks so much.

[@carpetguy]

Glad it helped

[@joelcqql]

Perfect video incredible tips for repairing carpet the best video and tips I have seen so far and I have been doing a lot of searching on this subject and now my searching has ended after finding your video. A million thanks

[@jeanallen5361]

Thanks so much for your helpful tips! Didn’t have a long nail so I used a metal slishkabob skewer! I had also bought double-sided carpet tape, so I used that instead of glue (but I think glue would have been easier)! Your tip about marking the correct side UP is invaluable! Very happy with the results! Wish I could post before/after pics!

[@carpetguy]

Jean Allen awesome to hear!

[@jenniferbaranowsky3689]

My dog ate a bald spot in my carpet. I am going to do this. I'm so grateful for your perfect and detailed video. Can't wait to fix it.

[@sidknee4975]

A sharp blade is key. If you feel you blade go dull, change it immediately. If you do not do this the blade will start pulling instead of cutting and will make a mess of your patch.

I've just done this on my dining room carpet that my feral dog chewed! Waiting for it to dry so I can blend it more cos mine is super cheap carpet (I live in a army family house so all carpets are cheap and rubbish) so its harder to blend! But so far im loving what I see! Thank you for this video honestly saved me so much money army housing tends to over charge you for damages even if its minor yet when you move in the house isn't in best condition 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@carpetguy]

This is a perfect example why I wanted to make this tutorial. Happy to assist. You’ll see a link in the description for a video if there’s visibility after patching. Hopefully, it will help blend better 👍🏼✌🏼

[@K3LLYJ0]

@B. L. he's still feral 🤣 he's not got his balls chopped off, he's only 10 months old we won't do it untill hes fully grown! He should be out that chewing everything stage but he's not unfortunately, he's chewed my husbands rugby T-shirt from last season yesterday despite having toys and bones around the house 🙃

[@kissmissthis]

Wow thank you!!! This was so well presented and detailed. I wouldn’t fail to hire you and your company in a heartbeat. I haven’t tried this yet but I have a lot of confidence this will work (and will let you know)!!

[@VamshiKrishnaDasarraj]

Perfect! Worked like a pro! Thank you for sharing this. I followed this exactly and now I can't tell something was burnt there. I did definitely save a ton of money!

[@carpetguy]

Awesome!! If you need a side hustle repairing I may have a job for you.

[@woolncathairs]

It took me three tries. My problem-I couldn’t get rid of the line between the carpet and patch. I finally took some clear tape (the kind you wrap packages with) and lightly taped the pile back on the main carpet. Once the patch was in place, I picked the edges so none of the pile on the patch got bent. When I took the tape off they blended right together. Whew! Thanks for your tips!!

[@brideoffrankenstein9]

Cheers bro.. watching from NZ jan 2022.. about to fix burn in the carpet at our rental. We really are good tenants and wanna get our deposit back!! Thanks for the tips xx

[@vernlong3537]

Well, I tried and didn't quite succeed. The spare piece I used was cut perfectly (as if I used a laser) but my floor carpet is very difficult to cut accurately. The result was not seamless and although it looks semi-fair, it's clear it was repaired. You are great to help and provide this instructional video showing amazing results. Being an expert would have probably helped me. Thank you so much for your video. -Vern

Excellent vdeo! Thanks for sharing professional secrets!

[@Enigma758]

Two questions: 1) Why not use a backing underneath the patch that overlaps both existing backing and patch backing like some suggest? 2) What do you think of E6000 glue as opposed to Gorilla glue? Thanks!

[@carpetguy]

For small patches, I prefer this method and gorilla glue. Anything over 6”, hot melt glue tape. 👍🏼

You are my hero today!!!! You covered “pet damage” and that’s what I needed, so thanks bunches!! Now, my only problem….my dogs is a 150lb 8 month old Great Dane so he got the pad, as well as, the carpet. Would you advise I use the pad from the closet section I’m going to remove? Or, any better suggestions? Thanks again

Yes, grab all donor material from the closet and put comparable materials back in the closet that you find from a carpet store.

Going to try this out! Had a bleach stain that I colored in with crayon lol the crayon actually fixed the stain but I rubbed it so hard I made a hole in the carpet I’m moving in a few weeks so I’m going to hope this works! I will update you with the results

[@carpetguy]

Haha, oh no. Good luck. Please, let us know how it goes!

[@JonathanMurray]

Very happy I saved the remnants from the new carpet I had installed just three months ago. New cat got locked in a room and decided to rip a hole under the door. Any suggestions for working along an edge? I assume only glue the sides that touch installed carpet...? Thanks for the video!

[@carpetguy]

If you’re the same one who messaged me, yes. I would use my power stretcher which can be rented at Home Depot but presents another host of issues you’d need to be familiarized. If you get a good cut on both sides for the seam and glue it at the backing, I recommend letting it sit and dry before tapping back on the tack strip and ticking back in. This repair video is mainly designed for repairs under 6”. Techniques from it can be used on larger repairs or along door jambs and tile/hardwood to carpet transitions but are lacking on additional tools and techniques a pro would use to get it done better. Hope it works out well enough for you!

[@carpetguy]

[@spoonc]

This will save me. My cat has pulled up the carpet in front of some closets and door. Is this the same process to do along a wall?

[@carpetguy]

Yes for any side touching the existing carpet and for the side(s) going to the wall, cut a bit extra and tuck under baseboard if there’s a gap and tap the carpet on the sharp pins.

[@microgreensgrower3946]

I have a carpet problem but it is in my Toyota Sienna Mini Van. Previous owner evidently spilled a drink or something and it ate away the pile of the carpet. The affected area is located along the outside edge of the car about 40" long and at the widest place 5" wide. I will have to find a donor carpet. Maybe at a wrecking yard or Pull n Save? Of course I don't want to buy a whole lot of carpet just to replace a small area. Any recommendations? Thanks for the instructional video. Very helpful!

[@carpetguy]

That would be the best bet

[@artsIlike]

Do you have any hints for this procedure with a 10 year old "carpet master Prancer", its the carpet that is several colors, low to ground. Its in a small rental. 3 separate cigarette burns. Also could not tell...do you leave the very bottem of the the carpet where the fibers attach in place and only remove the fiber or do you go down to the padding?

[@carpetguy]

You might be able to individually glue all the colors in place after you scrape out the black burned parts. I show how to cut the entire carpet out on this video and use as a template over your donor area. I’d recommend cutting multiple donor pieces for each and dry test to see which looks better color/fiber before flying in place 👍🏼

[@paigehornback3123]

Me too guys, got about 4 holes to patch, apperently bunnies love carpet! Lol

[@davidnelson5804]

Does that same amount of glue work if you’re looking at larger areas of animal damage? I’ve got a couple areas that are more like a foot long and half a foot wide. (Big dog) or with a larger area should I be concerned with things like staples or additional floor tacking?

[@carpetguy]

I don’t recommend the method shown in this video for damage exceeding 6”. It’s much more difficult to achieve good aesthetic results. You need more tools and different seam tape as well as the ability to stretch the patch a bit. Would seek a professional, but if you can’t, I’d recommend looking up Gold Coast flooring and carpet muscle tv on here to get more ideas and tools you can use to fix larger areas. 👍🏼✌🏼
