Rug Cleaning
Our specialized rug cleaning process removes deep-seated dirt and allergens while preserving delicate fibers. Using pH-balanced, eco-friendly solutions, we restore vibrancy to wool, silk, and synthetic materials. The service includes hand-washing, deodorization, and final grooming to maintain your rug's texture and appearance.
Rug Repair
Expert technicians perform precise repairs for frayed edges, moth damage, and structural issues. We offer fringe replacement, hand re-weaving, and color correction to restore antique and modern rugs. Our methods match each rug's origin and materials for seamless results.
Rug Sales
We offer a curated selection of antique, semi-antique, and new handwoven rugs from global weaving traditions. Each piece is personally inspected for quality and authenticity, with transparent information provided about origin, age, and craftsmanship to ensure informed purchasing decisions.
Rug Padding
Custom-cut padding solutions protect rugs and floors while enhancing comfort. Our non-slip, rubberized options prevent shifting on hardwood and tile surfaces. Proper padding extends rug longevity by reducing wear and improving airflow beneath the carpet.
Rug Appraisal
Certified professionals provide accurate rug appraisals for insurance, estate, or sale purposes. The service includes detailed analysis of origin, materials, age, and craftsmanship, supported by market value comparisons for antique and collectible pieces.

My grandmother recently passed and with what money she left behind I decided to repair her mother rug that's at least 70 years old. So I can't even imagen how dirty it was. They quoted me a price for the deep cleaning over the phone. I pulled up and an AWESOME employee names James Garner came out and helped me unload it and explain the whole process my rug would go through. Explained it's probably need a new backing( it was glued on and their were bubbles which meant the glue was coming up on those places :I appreciated him explaining) he even got a quote for the backing.
They were super nice and gave me a 20% discount on my deep clean. And after the deep clean they realized to avoid any further fraying I would need it to be surged. They called me to ask if it was what I'd want. And then after I confirmed they got it done rather quickly. In all I paid less then about $750 for everything was super surprised it cost me less then $1000. DEFINITELY recommend for rug cleaning and restoration. Including antique rug restoration.

Repeat customer here. Sharian always does a great job - why go anywhere else? What's also convenient is if you are looking to purchase, they resale rugs as well as have a showroom full of new rugs.
