Carpet Repairs in Highland, IN
When you need professional carpet repairs in Highland, you want a neighborhood team that knows the area. Ajax Carpet Service has been family-owned and operated since 1978, working out of our Hammond headquarters and serving Highland homes from Southtown to Town Center to the streets around Main Square Park. Highland is a compact, walkable Lake County town with strong Fourth of July traditions and the long-running Main Square farmers market, with a mix of post-WWII Cape Cods, 1960s ranches, and 1970s bi-levels — most homes have been in families for decades — and we've been taking care of carpets in homes just like yours for over four decades.
For carpet repairs we rely on patching with matching carpet remnants, seam repair, and burn/pet damage spot repair. That means cutting out a damaged section and seamlessly patching in a piece of matching carpet — often from a leftover remnant or a hidden closet area, so your home looks and feels noticeably fresher when we're done. We handle the kind of wear Highland carpets actually face: iron burns, pet damage, cigarette burns, bleach spots, seam separation, and torn or pulled sections. Whether you live in an established home near Wicker Memorial Park or a newer build closer to Kennedy Avenue and Indianapolis Boulevard, we approach every job with the same care and the same honest pricing.
We understand that life in Highland is busy — between work, school events, weekends spent at Lincoln Community Center, and everything in between. You don't have time to coordinate around a contractor who shows up late, leaves a mess, or surprises you with add-ons at the end. We arrive when we say we will, do the job we agreed to, and clean up after ourselves. That's the bare minimum for a hometown company that wants to still be in business in another forty years.
Because we've been based in Lake County since 1978, we know the conditions Highland homes face — humid summers, salt-and-slush winters, and the kind of grit that gets tracked in off Kennedy Avenue and Indianapolis Boulevard. We also know the difference between work that holds up and work that doesn't. Every job gets the same equipment and the same attention to detail, whether it's a one-room carpet repairs call or a whole-house project.
If you've been putting off a carpet repairs project at your Highland home, this is your sign to take care of it. We serve every part of town — Southtown, Town Center, Wicker Park area, and the areas around Main Square Park and Wicker Memorial Park.

Common Repair Calls in Highland
We get every kind of repair call in Highland — pet damage by the back door, an iron burn in the bedroom, a bleach spot in front of the bathroom, seams that have come apart between rooms, and rolls or rips along the edge of a stair. In a lot of cases the homeowner is bracing for the cost of replacing the whole carpet. Most of the time, that's not necessary. A skilled patch with matching carpet — usually pulled from a closet, under a piece of furniture, or from leftover installation scraps — disappears so well you'll have to point at the spot to find it again.
How We Patch Carpet in Highland Homes
We start by sizing up the damage and figuring out where the matching carpet is going to come from. If you saved your remnants, great. If not, we'll often pull a piece from an inconspicuous spot like inside a closet and patch that area with a less critical piece. Then we cut a clean square around the damage, fit the new piece in, and use heat-activated seam tape underneath plus careful trimming on top so the pile direction and pattern line up. Done right, the patch is virtually invisible. We've been doing this work in Highland and across Lake County since 1978.
Honest Advice First
Before any work starts, we tell you whether the repair is going to be invisible, mostly invisible, or visible-but-functional. If your carpet is old enough that the colors have shifted, a fresh patch may stand out, and we'll be straight with you about that up front. The goal is to save you the cost of a full replacement when a repair will do — but only when a repair will actually look good.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neighborhoods in Highland do you serve?
We serve every part of Highland, including Southtown, Town Center, Wicker Park area, Highland Grove, and Northern Highland, plus the areas around Main Square Park and Wicker Memorial Park. Because we're based in Hammond, we're a short drive from anywhere in Highland and can usually schedule quickly. Call (219) 933-1019 and let us know where you are.
I don't have any leftover carpet — can you still repair it?
Usually yes. We can often pull a patch from a closet, from under a piece of furniture that doesn't move, or from another area that's not in plain view. We'll discuss the options before we cut anything.
Will the patch be noticeable?
When we have a good color match and the carpet hasn't faded too much from sun exposure, the patch is usually invisible. We'll be honest if we think it will show.
Do you fix pet damage?
Yes — torn carpet from scratching at doors and other pet damage are among our most common Highland repair calls.
Can you fix seams that have come apart?
Yes. Failed seams between rooms or in doorways are typically a quick fix with fresh seam tape and a hot iron.
