Protection Plan

BindingCare™ Refresh

Every other protection plan covers what goes wrong. Refresh covers what changes. It's a living flooring investment — 5 years of repair coverage plus a built-in pathway to update your style without starting over.

Built for homeowners who spent more upfront, care about their home's aesthetic, and want to protect both the work and their options.

Add to my estimate

5-year repair coverage

Binding separation, fraying, edge wear, and seam issues — all covered for five full years.

One qualifying style swap

Change your runner or binding style once within the 5-year window. Life changes; your flooring can too.

Priority scheduling

Refresh customers move to the front of the line for service appointments and consultations.

Flexible scope

Applies to carpet binding, stair runners, or both — based on your original installation.

What We Do

Every edge,
finished.

From a single remnant bound into a bedroom rug to a full staircase — all work is custom. We cut and finish to your exact measurements using the same commercial equipment as mill-direct manufacturers.

01

Stair Runners

Custom-measured, cut, bound, and installed on your staircase. Hardwood treads remain visible — the tailored look that finishes a home.

02

Hallway Runners

Any length, any width. Precisely cut to your corridor and edge-finished — binding adds a woven border, serging a clean yarn edge.

03

Custom Area Rugs

Broadloom or remnant carpet turned into a perfectly-sized area rug. Any room, any shape — bound or serged so nothing unravels.

04

Binding & Serging

Raw edges finished to last. Bring us your remnant or existing piece — we'll wrap a binding border or stitch a serged edge.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

What is carpet binding?
Carpet binding creates a clean finished edge around carpet so it can be used as a rug, runner, or hallway piece. The bound edge prevents fraying and gives the piece a tailored, custom look.
Binding vs. serging — what's the difference?
Binding uses a fabric tape wrapped around the edge. Serging uses thick yarn stitched tightly — closer to a traditional rug border. Both are durable; the right choice depends on your style preference and carpet type.
Can you make a custom stair runner?
Yes — stair runners are one of our main services. We size the runner to your specific staircase, including landings, for clean lines and reliable traction. See our stair runner page.
Do you handle installation?
Yes. We handle measuring, fabrication, and installation across Northern Virginia — you get a finished result, not just materials.
How fast can I get an estimate?
Most requests get a reply within 24 hours. Sending photos and rough measurements helps us turn around an accurate estimate even faster.
