The Specialist with James is the very best. Just had the carpets cleaned (9/17) and literally they look and feel brand new, really, really; James said he has the latest in cleaning equipment. His business is expanding and he is training techs. This time Joe was with him and he was great; he even fixed the legs on…
They cleaned our wool carpets and my difficult viscose rug. They did a wonderful job. Highly recommend
James is always so nice and cooperative. Our rugs come back like new. Terence remembered us from our last cleaning. Very happy. Good value
Absolutely excellent service! The customer service was amazing- haven’t seen that in years! The wool rug I had cleaned looks outstanding- the pick up and delivery were fantastic. Terrence the delivery guy was professional & very efficient. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use services again!!!!!

Excellent results and great customer service. Highly recommended.
James was informative covering the cleaning process. The two week time frame was acceptable. Pickup and delivery was very professional.
My husband and I are very pleased with the results of the Rug specialists cleaning of our carpets. We had two carpets cleaned and will consider them again when the third carpet needs cleaning. These are large area rugs to cover a tile floor. They came back looking very nice, better than new and we are very happy…
Mark was so nice! He introduced himself, got right to work, kept the areas clean and asked to have the areas check before calling it a day! Reworked any areas I was unsure of without question! The customer really comes first! Thanks so much Mark!!
James and his team provided excellent service- prompt response time to calls, clear explanation of the process, pick up of our rug, delivery once cleaned. Our particular rug was extremely worn, and while no miracles occurred, it came back to us smelling and feeling clean, and it looks nice in our room once more.
Technician Jushua was very professional and courteous. He did a great job
I couldn’t be happier with this service. Josh was on time, courteous, understood my needs and did an excellent job! I highly recommend The Rug Specialist!!
Good service, nice and very polite people, will do it again in the future.
The Rug Specialists are a great company! Professional, friendly, prompt, and cleaned my pet soiled area rug very effectively.

Friendly, on time, helpful, and great results!
I’m so happy to have found someone I trust with my rugs. Very professional outfit with wonderful employees. Cannot recommend enough!
I had two Turkish rugs that needed to be cleaned as well as a couch and carpet that needed to be steam cleaned. My Turkush rugs look beautiful now and Josh did an amazing steam cleaning job.
The team at Rug Specialists was great. I submitted a quote request and was called instantly. I was nervous because I have a very delicate rug that’s not supposed to get wet, but I was reassured that their crew worked with these rugs all the time and could handle the job. They showed up the next day to pick it up and…
Great that they picked up and delivered. Did a great job.
I was so happy to find the Rug Specialist. They do a wonderful job on my area rugs. And aways top notch customer service.
Very respectful and accommodating. Was able to get same day service, which I wasn’t expecting. They were on time and texted when they were on the way. Nothing like fresh clean carpet!
Will rug just picked up by Victor? Should be returned within one week. So far business transactions have been great
I had an area rug that I bought in Istanbul many years ago cleaned and refringed. James and his crew were very responsive, accommodating and they did a perfect job! I know we will enjoy it for many more years!
The Rug Specialist did an excellent job of deep cleaning and repair of my three large area rugs, they look as pretty as when I purchased them. Their great customer service provides pick-up, delivery and placing the rugs! I highly recommend The Rug Specialist.
James and his crew always get my area rug super clean! All of the colors came back to life. I’ve used another company in the past and they never get it super clean like James can get it. Very happy my rug is clean again!
We had 6 area rugs picked up & cleaned & one rug cleaned onsite. The rugs look brand new! We couldn’t be any happier with the outcome. Josh was great getting everything back where it belongs & cleaning the onsite rug. This company is terrific to work with. The pick up & delivery feature is awesome. We will definitely use them again.
The Rug Specialists were very professional and personable. Lots of communication from the drivers who picked up and dropped off my filthy garage-found 10x12 Karastan rug without a hitch. They brought it back looking and smelling so clean, almost like new! Would highly recommend.
They did a thorough cleaning of two area rugs made of wool. They look great. Staff are friendly.
Finished product is great! Delivery was seamless. Staff were efficient and polite

Listen, if you have put off cleaning your rug, don’t worry! James and his team make this SO easy! They come and get the rug (even moved the furniture) and our degraded…
Our partially shaggy rug was in a deep need for a cleaning so we called The Rug Specialists! Their service was very quick and the rug came back looking as if it was brand new! It smells amazingly clean and feels oh so soft. James is incredibly responsive and respectful. I will highly recommend all of my friends and…
We have 11’x 20’ white wool rug that requires special treatment and while we have used other expert cleaners before, The Rug Specialist, tops them all. Highly recommend for prized carpets.
The Rug Specialist has cleaned 5 of our Oriental Rugs and did a fantastic job!
James was very kind and professional. He made the experience more personal rather than me feeling like a number. The rugs were picked up and delivered as requested. I will refer frequently!
Second time we have used The Rug Specialists because they do a fantastic job plus they communicate very well throughout the process! We have a very large, wool rug and it always comes back looking like new again.
