Repaired Rather Than Replaced When Possible

Drapery Repair in Irvine

Draperies that no longer open smoothly, hang unevenly, or show signs of fraying can often be repaired instead of replaced, saving you the cost and inconvenience of sourcing new treatments. In Irvine, Eldon Drapery & Blind Service performs drapery repairs in-shop, where the panels are inspected closely and restored with the same hands-on craftsmanship used for custom manufacturing. The work addresses operational issues, hardware problems, and fabric-related concerns, and is especially valuable for older or discontinued systems that cannot be easily replaced.

Repairs are performed on-site at the shop, allowing for detailed inspection and proper restoration. The team is experienced in working with draperies that have been in service for years, including those with outdated hardware, faded linings, or seams that have come loose under daily use. Whether the issue is mechanical, structural, or cosmetic, the repair extends the life of the draperies and restores their function without the expense of full replacement.

Contact Eldon Drapery & Blind Service in Irvine to have your draperies evaluated and repaired, and avoid unnecessary replacement costs.

What Gets Fixed and How It Changes Function

Repairs begin with a detailed inspection of the draperies once they are brought to the shop in Irvine. Seams are checked for separation, hems are examined for fraying, and hardware components such as rings, carriers, and hooks are tested for wear or damage. Linings that have degraded from sun exposure are replaced, and fabric panels that have pulled away from the header are reattached with reinforced stitching.

After repair, you will notice the draperies hang straight again, move smoothly along the rod without catching, and close fully without gaps or bunching. Seams that had separated will hold under tension, hems that had frayed will appear finished, and hardware that had failed will operate as intended. The fabric will look cleaner and more uniform, and the overall appearance will match the original installation.

Eldon Drapery & Blind Service repairs draperies for both residential and commercial clients and is experienced with older systems, discontinued hardware, and custom treatments that cannot be sourced elsewhere. If the damage is too extensive or the fabric has degraded beyond repair, that assessment is provided clearly so you can make an informed decision about replacement.

Repair Questions Come Up Naturally

Deciding whether to repair or replace draperies involves understanding what can be fixed, how long the repair will last, and what the process entails.

What types of drapery repairs can be performed?
Repairs include restitching seams, replacing linings, reattaching headers, fixing or replacing hardware, and addressing fraying or tears in the fabric. Eldon Drapery & Blind Service handles both structural and cosmetic issues.
How long does drapery repair take?
Most repairs are completed within one to two weeks, depending on the extent of the damage and the availability of replacement parts. You will receive an estimate after the draperies are inspected.
What if the draperies use discontinued hardware?
Eldon Drapery & Blind Service has experience repairing older and discontinued drapery systems and can often fabricate or source replacement parts that match the original hardware. If that is not possible, alternatives are recommended.
Why repair draperies instead of replacing them?
Repairing draperies costs less than replacement, preserves the original fabric and appearance, and avoids the time and effort of sourcing new treatments. It is especially practical for custom or high-quality draperies that still have functional fabric.
What happens if the draperies cannot be repaired?
If the fabric has degraded beyond repair or the structure is too damaged, you will be informed clearly so you can decide whether to proceed with replacement. The evaluation is provided after the draperies are inspected in-shop.
