Binding wraps and secures a cut carpet edge. It does not attach carpet to the floor. It turns exposed carpet edges into a finished perimeter for an area rug, hallway runner, stair-runner component, or remnant.

Binding uses a separate strip over the cut carpet edge. Serging wraps yarn around the edge, giving it a stitched look. DMV Stair Runners currently confirms binding only; serging, repair, resizing, and fringe are not confirmed services.
If binding is what you need, use the request form to describe your carpet and the finished size you want. You can add cutting or finish details in the optional note. We review the material and work before confirming the project.
