-Any tips on how to DIY to fix this? I don’t have any spare carpet since this is an apartment. Where would I go to get matching carpet to patch the spot and what are the steps for doing so?
Also, anyone have any ideas on which would be more costly.. DIY or hiring a carpet repair service?
You may find a piece of donor carpet in a closet. if not then it will be very hard to match. The carpet and patch need to be cut out to the same size and shape, then put in place with carpet tape. There are a number of tricks of the trade to make that repair invisible, so a pro can be worthwhile, and carpet installers/repair are not overly expensive.
