Yes we offer repairs services. We can make almost any repair but we may recommend a rug worth $6,000 and needing $30,000 worth of repairs at our prices be sent overseas where the labor is cheaper. We may be able to do a beautiful repair on a Navajo, but might refer a high-value one (with a high repair budget) to Mann. We have to work with the customers budget, and sometimes partially repair an item or do a "hold" repair just to keep the damage from getting worse. A Chinese or Pakistani rug may only have enough value to justify machine-sewn fringe.
The most popular service right now? Removing fringe entirely. It's a more contemporary look, and it's amazing how much better the typical factory-made rug looks without the scraggle of fringe on the ends. "Alterations" such as removing fringe or reducing the size of a hand-knotted rug might irritate some people, but ultimately the rug belongs to the customer and we'll do what they pay us to do.
(With the exception of coloring to hide wear. Gotta draw the line there.)
PS: The most finicky rug repair can always be looked down upon by someone.
A woman that had been doing repair for the Smithsonian relocated to Seattle and applied for a job with us. She sniffed at our "commodity level" repairs and walked out, but called a few weeks later to apologize for her attitude. The only work she could find that matched her expertise was repairing a set of antique kimonos, a job that had to be completed in two years and had a maximum budget of $75,000. She had to learn that in the real world there are money and time constraints, and the overall value of the piece has to be considered, and that a business offering a service has to be able to make money at that service.
