Rug Cleaning
Our traditional wet-wash cleaning process eliminates traffic patterns, odors, and stains while preserving rug integrity. Using soap and water with hydraulic pressing, we safely clean all rug types including antiques, silks, and Navajo weavings. Climate-controlled drying ensures proper restoration with fringe whitening and pile brushing included in our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Rug Repair
Master Repairman Ali Shahinpour provides expert restoration for all rug types, including antique, Persian, and damaged pieces. Services include hole repair, moth damage remediation, color touch-up, and resizing. Our hand-crafted repairs maintain original construction techniques to preserve value and extend rug longevity through generations.
Rug Appraisals
Certified appraisals for insurance and estate purposes determine rug age, origin, and value. Verbal assessments identify rug characteristics while written appraisals document condition and market value. Our expertise covers handmade rugs from Western Asia, China, and Native American weavings, with acceptance by major U.S. and Canadian insurance companies.
Rug Rentals
Premium rug rentals enhance weddings, corporate events, and photo shoots with antique, vintage, and modern designs. Our collection includes diverse sizes and styles from small accents to large statement pieces. Full-service support includes delivery, installation, and pickup for seamless event coordination.
Rug Pads
Custom-cut rug pads protect flooring and extend rug life with three specialized options. Hard surface pads grip tile and hardwood without damage, carpet pads prevent sinking, and low-profile underlayments suit tight spaces. All pads are cut 1.5 inches smaller than rug dimensions for optimal performance.
