Our rug was fixed perfectly by Ahmadi rugs. Bobby provides excellent customer service and is very professional. Highly recommend.
Bobby and his crew are fabulous! Pick up, deliver, repair a damaged area of the wool, clean!!! ALL WITH A SMILE. so refreshing to do biz the old fashioned way of care, high quality and trust.
Wonderful! My handmade rug was restored and cleaned beautifully after having been on my floor for over 20 years with pets! The sides of my heirloom rug had been damaged from cats and the fringe was uneven and falling out from decades of vacuuming. I had almost considered it beyond repair and was so surprised when It was rolled out in front of me after the cleaning and restoration! Very happy with the service, as well.. Responsive and professional!
I can’t speak highly enough of Bobby and Ahmadi Rug! I am beyond thrilled with their service and the end product of their work. Before we called Ahmadi Rug, we had significant damage done to our handmade, wool rugs from small clothing moths. I called several rug cleaning services and none came close to the level of expertise, service, and kindness I experienced with Bobby.

He knew just what to do for our situation and ended up both cleaning and repairing our three rugs. They look great now and I’m so happy. He was patient and clearly an expert in his field. Their prices are very fair and they did pick-up and delivery of the three rugs. I highly recommend Bobby and Ahmadi rug to everyone!
These guys know what they are doing, highly suggest them
Highly recommend for silk rug cleaning! We had a silk rug that needed a deep clean as well as glue removal and we could not be happier with the results. Also, Bobby was very communicative throughout the whole process and answered questions as needed!
We had two rugs that were gifted to us, we could tell they were nice quality but we didn’t know what we had. We called Ahmadi, and Bobby was so incredibly helpful. Just by sending him pictures he was able to tell us about the quality and history of the rug, as well as their value (which was a very welcome surprise). Ahmadi cleaned the rugs for us which was a lovely experience (the whole family are so nice) and they did a wonderful job, transforming the rugs, at a fair price too. Couldn’t be happier thank you Ahmadi!
I have been looking everywhere for rug cleaning service that would bring my rug back to its base condition. I have tried everything from steam cleaning to dry cleaning and nothing worked!! I contacted Ahmadi rug cleaning service and they did an absolutely fantastic job. The price was reasonable, the communication was outstanding and the end result was absolutely amazing. He even po led up the rug and delivered it back to me. This is the only device I will be using in the future.
Ahmadi Rug did a fabulous job cleaning my handmade Afghan rug. It came back within a week looking brand new. I also needed a new rug mat, which Ahmadi provided and installed when the rug was returned. Bobby is easy to work with and has earned my trust. I highly recommend Ahmadi Rug for all your rug cleaning and repair needs.
These guys are artisans with hand woven rugs. They reworked and transformed my old, beaten down, persian rug into a new rug, which importantly doesn't look "repaired" but rather restored to its original look.
We needed a few rugs cleaned and repaired. Bobby did a great job over the phone explaining everything and actually was able to come over on the same day to pick up the rugs. It’s easy to see that he knows his stuff and really cares about what he does. He brought them back as promised- even earlier! My 30+ year-old, kilim, and Persian rugs look brand new! The colors are so much brighter and beautiful as I remember them. Also, Bobby and his team took such care putting my furniture back with the rugs underneath. I also ordered custom rig pads, which fit so well under the rugs- no more constant adjusting needed! Highly recommend!
This is a great place to buy and get rugs re-done. The staff is professional and friendly.
Highly recommend Ahmadi Rug for cleaning and repair. They are courteous, professional, knowledgeable, careful, and fast. A wonderful business that is extremely well run.
I wish there were six stars given for service that was beyond outstanding and rug cleaning that was as top of the line as you can get. I have a designer hand loomed one of a kind rug that I was always afraid to clean until finding Ahmadi Rug. They have cleaned it two years in a row and each time they bring it back, it looks like new.

I also am a very high maintenance customer, have chemical sensitivities and cannot handle fragrances of any kind. For some reason, there seemed to be a fragrance in the second rug that I had Ahmadi clean. Bobby was so supportive of my issue. He came back, picked it up, cleaned it again and not only brought it back without a smell, but also gave me a new rug pad since he was concerned for me that the smell could have gotten into that.

I have dealt with many businesses in many situations, but have never had service like this ever. I give Ahmadi Rug the highest possible rating!
Outstanding service. Bobby was my contact for a large area rug we had cleaned. He was communicative, on time, polite, informative and a pleasure to work with. The cleaning job was perfection and it was a challenge with light colors and stains. This was the first time using Ahmandi, it won’t be the last. I always keep my carpets as clean as possible, silks and wool especially. They are my choice now. Again, great job, thank you!

I had a rug that I really liked but it had a coffee stain that would not come out. So I decided maybe I could get the rug resized. I did a google search and found Ahmadi rugs which is right in the area. They came out told me they could do what I wanted and took my rug. The results were amazing! The rug was cut to fit under my dining room table and it makes the area look fantastic. I highly recommend these guys for anything rug related!!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Ahmadi Carpet to clean and repair four rugs in my family for years. The team did an outstanding job, not only in cleaning and repairing the rugs but also in providing exceptional customer service.

Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the moment they arrived. They placed the rugs back in my home, ensuring everything was perfect. Additionally, they offered great insights into the history and age of each rug, which I found fascinating and valuable.

Moreover, they meticulously repaired the trim and ensured the sides were secured correctly, greatly enhancing the rugs' longevity and appearance.

I highly recommend Ahmadi Carpet to anyone looking for high-quality service and care for their rugs. Their expertise and dedication to their craft are truly commendable.
Just used Armadi Rug for cleaning a rug which is in our high traffic (dog, grandkids and adults) family room. They did a great job, it couldn’t have been done better.
They are very personable and pricing is fair.
I highly recommend AhmadI for all rug needs - would have given 6 stars if possible! Thanks.
Ahmadi Rug offers amazing service for area rug cleaning and repair. Our lovely german Shepherd thought our rugs were chewing toys when we left the house without her. She outgrew it but I was mortified every time I saw the rugs, Finally decided to call and see about cleaning and repairs. Sent pictures and asked for prices. They came out the same day to pick up the rugs and explain the process. As advertised, they returned the rugs the following week and were beyond perfection. If you search carefully you may be able to see a repair, the colors in the rugs seem so vibrant again. I cannot say enough positive things about this very professional company. Additionally, they were kind and patient with my questions and their explanations.
Excellent customer service! Knowledgeable, professional and accommodating! I had a very heavy thick wool shag rug that was a monster to move much less clean. They did an amazing job and even patched the backing for me. I couldn't be happier!
Thank you Ahmadi for all of your efforts on both my wool rugs.
I’m very happy that I found Ahmadi Rug. Their expertise in cleaning and knowledge in restoration of my Antique Persian Rug is unmatched.
Bobby at Ahmadi Rug helped us save our 10’x14’ white hand-woven rug when we almost gave up on cleaning it. He responded very quickly to our call and scheduled the visit for pickup right away. He and his team showed up at our door on time the next day, and carefully examined and explained the cause of stains and how he would clean those stains (e.g. slow drying could cause yellow stain). The whole process was transparent; the service was professional and above our expectation (they finished my rug within 3 business days). Before the service, our rug was yellow-ish, with lots of dirty water in it when we tried to clean it ourselves; after the service, it is now white, clean, and it smells great! 10/10 would recommend and I will call Ahmadi Rug again next time 🙂
Bobby was terrific from pickup to delivery. Good communication and our area rug looks like new we are very pleased. Thanks Ahmadi Rug!
