I inherited several valuable Persian rugs from my parents which needed to be cleaned. Based on Angie's List reviews and the company's website, I called Main Street Oriental Rugs to get a quote on hand washing my rugs. Since the other company I contacted about rug cleaning machine washes their rugs, I decided to go with Main Street Oriental Rugs. I dropped off the six rugs to Main Street Oriental Rugs and met with the owner. The owner, Mojan, was very knowledgeable about orientals and was able to tell me the approximate age of each rug and the area where it was produced. One of my rugs had Persian poetry woven into it which he read and translated for me! We discussed the scope of the cleaning and repair work to be done. When I hesitated at his estimate, he suggested holding off on the work since I would not be using any of the rugs. While they were not heavily soiled, the rugs were dirty enough that I was concerned about moth damage while they are stored (moths are attracted to soil). I decided to go ahead with the work and he accepted a 10% off coupon I printed from the Main Street Oriental Rug website. One of the rugs had two gashes in it which he repaired beautifully. The repair is not visible unless you look hard for it. He was also able to remove red dye from the white fringe of another rug that had bled when I washed it myself. On another rug, which had an 8" long fringe, Mojan recommended that it be trimmed back to 2" and did the work himself while I watched. The unusually long fringe had tripped many who walked over it and now that is no longer a problem. At my request, Mojan provided me with free verbal appraisals on all my rugs. He also provides written appraisals (for insurance or other purposes) for a fee. I am very pleased with my experience with Main Street Oriental Rugs. My rugs were cleaned and repaired professionally and were ready on time. As I was away when the rugs were ready for pickup, Main Street Oriental Rugs stored them for me for several weeks. My sister, whom I referred to them, was also pleased with their work. I will be taking more rugs to him for cleaning and repair soon!
Description of Work: Main Street Oriental Rugs washed six oriental carpets of various sizes (ranging from 5' x 7' to 7' x 10') and repaired one of them.

Wonderful. He is very knowledgeable about oriental rugs. Was able to look at our rugs and tell us approx when we brought them (18 years) and how much we paid for them then! Gave us an estimate on cleaning both and repair of the more damaged rug. did not push for repair of the one with only a small section fraying, as they have to replace the edging on the entire length of the rug in order to repair it. Originally thought that they could just sew up the ripped section, but that would be a cheap and short term fix, and not something he would do- was very impressed with his knowledge and when he explained why they repair the edges as they do totally agreed. In the end when we went to pick up the rugs, because the damage was further down the edge than he had originally thought; he repaired the edging on BOTH rugs for no additional cost. They look great! Both rugs look just about brand new! Could not be happier. Knew from research that a decent cleaning job and repairing was not going to be cheap, but I feel we got a bargain for cleaning and repair of 2 large rugs, and 2 under mats. Great customer service, great deal; would def recommend to others.
Description of Work: Took 2 approx 9 x 12 Bokhara rugs in to be cleaned and repaired ( one had gotten wet after an upstairs leak, both were very soiled after 15 years of kids and pets!). One had a large section of edging ripped and frayed- the other a much smaller area the same. Also purchased under mat.

I initially called and spoke with the proprietor who provided an overview of their services and the hours of the store. When I arrived he himself provided a review of the carpet and explaination of the process required to rid the rug of stains and odors. He gave me a quote for the service and a pick up time. We were going to be on vacation at the pick up date and he assured us there was no problem to hold the rug until later in the month when we returned. We actually The resulting outcome was excellent, the carpet looked and smelledfresh and new. The priced ended up being $50 more than expected, but we are very pleased with thevalue and happy with their work.
Description of Work: We have a family heirloom Karastan oriental carpet that had been on loan to a friend who had cats. The carpet had several stains on it from the animals and we needed to have it stain and odor free before bringing it into our home. The owner explain thoroughly the process required to achieve stain and odor removal and the price.

Their was a misunderstanding about the rugs and the pretense in which they would clean the rugs. When I went to pick them up, they still smelled bad. I took them back because I didn't want to put them back in my home. I spoke with the owner, and he said the reason they smelled bad was because of the type of rug I purchased. The way they fix the fibers of the weave and the glue still smelled bad. He told me he would clean them again but to just understand they were not quality rugs. He convinced me of that but he should of communitcated that to me before we started. I was under the impression the rugs were ok but he needed to tell me what I should of expected. He is supposed to be the expert at the rugs. I would use them again in the future.

Response from Main Street Oriental Rugs
On 8/13/11, the member brought 2 rugs tufted that is glued in the back with pet stains. As he requested, the rug was washed and the pet stain was removed. When he came to pick up the rug on 9/10/11 we showed him the rug and he approved and paid for our services. Later that day, he called, and said his rugs smelled. I explained to him that he's smelling the glue that is in the back of the rug. I agreed to rewash the rugs, which we did. He also indicated that he had bought the rug for $10 each at a store that was closing years ago. We as agreed, performed the services and appreciate his business. Our policy is we clean the rug as many times as possible to make sure the customer is happy.

The rug got cleaned very well but I wasn?t crazy about the fact that there was a lot of effort to convince us to trade in the rug. They were trying to show us rugs that were made in India and weren?t the equivalent of our Persian rug. I didn?t feel comfortable because they were pushing us to buy a new rug and take the one we had as a trade-in. I was not enamored with them.

I picked up two or three companies for the job, but only one was reasonably close. I called him up, he sent me to the website, and I discussed the carpets with him. He gave me options for me to come out or for him to come out. I ended up driving out and the work was actually slightly less than what he initially quoted me. He called up and left a message about a week and a half later. We brought another one up to him to clean, and he actually offered to trade for another rug for a price.
