A wonderful experience. Gary Ward and his son Kevin are not only passionate about their business but also very knowledgable about the history, creation, and composition of the rugs. And, they do not just sell rugs; they are hands-on repairers and recreators of rugs, recovering lost artistry one stitch at a time. We found a rich array of antique and semi-antique rugs to choose from and happily made several our own.
Description of Work: We needed expert guidance in shopping for antique oriental rugs.

Outstanding service! Responsive, knowledgeable, professional and personable. We were in the process of moving and needed our rugs cleaned, and one of them repaired, as well as prepared for storage. Ward's was wonderful during a very stressful time. Thank you so much!!!

They are great. I really liked them. I have a house full of oriental rugs. They are really close to my office so I got the rug off and 3 to 5 days later it's done. Every once in a while the rugs were not in great shape because a dog had had an accident but they did a great job. I even recommended them to my neighbor.

Every time I visit Ward's Oriental Rug Gallery I am treated with kindness and professionalism by Gary Ward or his son. This family run business provides wonderful service and products. When you bring your carpet into the gallery to be cleaned, the Wards are able to tell you about the heritage of your carpet. They will also pick up and deliver your carpets if you need that service. If you are looking to purchase a new or an antique carpet, the Wards know about and can educate you on each carpet that they have in their gallery. Ward's Oriental Rug Service & Gallery will clean, repair, appraise your carpets and they have a beautiful gallery in a very interesting building which shows off all of their gorgeous new or antique carpets of all shapes and sizes. Visit the fine family business! You won't be disappointed with the exceptional customer service that you will receive.
Description of Work: I have had carpets cleaned at Ward's and during my last visit I purchased a carpet for a wedding gift.
