Carpet Binding in Rhode Island & Massachusetts

Custom-bound area rugs and runners cut to any size.

About Carpet Binding

Carpet binding turns a carpet remnant, an offcut from your installation, or a worn area rug into a finished rug or runner with a clean, durable edge. Bring the piece to any of our three showrooms, tell us the size and shape, and we bind it in-house. Customers use it for stair runners, hallway runners, oversized living room rugs, boats, trucks, and odd-shaped rooms where nothing off the shelf fits.

What's included

  • Cutting to your exact size and shape, including angles and curves
  • Tape binding in a color matched to the carpet
  • Re-binding of older rugs whose edges have frayed
  • Optional cleaning of the rug before it goes back to you
  • Custom runners cut from any carpet style in the showroom
How it works

From first call to finished floor.

  1. Bring your carpet or remnant to the Woonsocket, North Attleborough, or Warwick showroom. No appointment needed.
  2. Pick a binding color and confirm the finished dimensions with us.
  3. We cut and bind the piece in-house and call you when it is ready.
  4. Pick it up, or ask about delivery if it is part of a larger order.

Timing

Simple rectangles are usually ready within about a week. Intricate shapes with many cuts take longer; we tell you when you drop it off.

Pricing

Every job starts with a free, written estimate. The price you are quoted is the price you pay, which customers point out in their reviews.

Questions

Carpet Binding FAQs

Can I have a rug made from carpet in your showroom?

Yes. Choose any carpet style we carry, give us the size, and we cut and bind it. It is a fraction of the cost of a designer rug in the same size.

Do you bind old rugs, not just new carpet?

Yes. Reviewers have brought in decades-old wool rugs for new binding and a cleaning and left with something that looks new.

Can you do odd shapes?

Yes. Runners, L-shapes, curves, and pieces with many cuts and angles are all done here.

Do I need an appointment?

No. Drop the carpet at any showroom during business hours. Warwick and North Attleborough are closed Mondays; Woonsocket is open.

What customers say about carpet binding

  • Went looking for rug for truck project. The staff was extremely helpful in selecting the most appropriate type. After cutting to fit, the shop bound the edges with awesome time and angreat job. Months after completing the main carpet, added runners. Once again, DRL staff did an excellent job on the binding. I would highly recommend their services as they are very friendly and professional.

  • I had a carpet that needed the binding replaced. I called DRL Carpet for an estimate. I could not be happier. Not only did I decide to have the carpet binding done, but also had it cleaned. The work was completed in a professional and timely fashion. I will not hesitate to call them again for any future needs.

  • Wonderful experience! Had a wool rug 50 yrs old which needed a new binding and a good cleaning. Very Knowledgeable and helpful staff. The rug now looks brand new, couldn’t be happier. Reasonable price and although small, the cleanest most well-organized showroom I’ve ever been in.

  • I was very impressed with the quality of work. The project was intricate with a lot of cuts and angles. This was a bound project which was most likely very challenging. They did an amazing job.
