Response from Zakian
Thank you for review. We would like to respond to your review but are not sure what service you are referring to. We see your address is listed as Louisville. KY, did you live in the Philadelphia area previously?

Description of Work: Zakian cleaned several oriental carpets, including two 10X14s. One a Tukenkian, and the other an antique. They were very knowledgable about the carpets themselves and provided prompt service with excellent results. Highly recommend them.

They did a very good job. I've found them to be reliable, responsive, and well priced. I have used them for years. They have also taken care of area carpets that I have, like Oriental rugs. They have been very good to work with. The price was definitely worth it. I follow their advice. I have never been disappointed in them. I don't think their pricing has gone up very much over the years. They were efficient. They did a good job on the carpeting, which is very difficult to get clean. They kept me informed about when they were coming. They also offered to reschedule. They were right on time.
Description of Work: They cleaned all of my wall-to-wall carpeting.

We spent about $250 on that service. The job went very well. We had to have a lot of tassels re-knotted and the edges were in a mess and they did a fantastic job of repairing it. They were very, very good at the repair and the only slight problem were that they could only pick up, and deliver on a Tuesday. The actual work was great and I would use them again.
Description of Work: We used Zakian probably 4 or 5 months ago for Oriental rug cleaning and repair as well.

The guys who came to pick up the carpets were really nice. I had the work done and they came back Thursday (11/4) looking like a million dollars. The binding on the edges was gorgeous, and Zakian cleaned the carpets better than any other place I have gone. The guys who brought the carpets were also very nice. I thought the price was very fair and I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to my best friend.
Description of Work: I have two oriental carpets (4X6 and 3X2) that were badly in need of cleaning. Also, the last time I had them cleaned I asked that the remaining fringe be taken off. The other company did a terrible job with the fringe, and as a result I needed to have them bound on the two ends.

Very good work. The only difficulty is that they only pick up and deliver in your area on certain dates, and that can be hard to schedule. I would have them do carpets again without hesitation.

They were right on point with pick/up delivery. They were extremely professional. They held to the price quoted...it was on the high end but until they actually SAW the damage I understood the price would not be firm. They did a beautiful job on both the cleaning and repair. I knew where the moth damage was but I can barely find it now.....Kudos to them for a job well done. I plan on getting the rest of my rugs cleaned very soon...
Description of Work: I have a 9x12 hand made original Persian carpet that had extensive cat urine damage and moth damage. Zakian had to shorten the rug slightly to fix the moth damage and change the fringe as well as deodorize and moth proof the rug. I also had several quite large moth holes in the rug. The holes had to be hand repaired. I called several times with questions about the process. They were extremely helpful and have a huge amount of knowledge of the rugs. I rated the price as C because I felt it WAS a fair price. I'm not quite sure what an A or B rating in this category entails.

When I unrolled the carpets at the end of September, they looked brand new. The repairs to the fringes of the rugs cost $400 for expert hand work. Cleaning, deodorizing and Scotchgard cost about $370. This is a terrific price for expert care which enhances both carpets appearance and prolongs their life. Zakian's employees know oriental carpets and how to take care of them. I am thrilled that I called them.
Description of Work: I had delayed having my oriental carpets cleaned because of the expense I'd incurred in New England to have a single carpet cleaned. This time I needed two very soiled carpets cleaned and wanted to have one carpet re-fringed and the other needed to have knots removed and the fringe evened out. These are carpets are small room sized rugs 6x9 and 7x10. Both carpets were hand tied. I rolled the rugs the morning of pickup. The crew arrived early in the pickup window. They tagged the rugs and gave me a receipt for them. Two weeks later during the pre-agreed delivery window they returned the rug. Since we were in the middle of painting downstairs, the delivery men carried the rugs to our second floor. When the rugs arrived at the factory they called to discuss the work I wanted done. All options were fully explained and I requested that they proceed with the work.

This company charged a bit more than most, but other companies contacted would not pick-up and deliver the rug and/or they would only do in-home "steam cleaning." My rug was very heavy and thick and needed to be hung to dry. This company could get the job one and did, so I paid. Customer service was great the 1st time I called for an estimate. Very friendly and informative. The second time I called the woman was rude and abrupt and notified me that she/they did not have my name in their records and that I was "misinformed" about the details of the first estimate by a different salesperson. I would've gone elsewhere after talking to the second woman, but was running out of time (I needed the rug cleaned within 1 week). Thankfully, they did a decent job of cleaning the rug in the end. I would not say they go the "extra mile," (e.g. didn't take the time to clean up loose threads), but did what they were asked to do - a basic cleaning and prompt service. Estimate ended on the high end (which I kind of expected). Delivery man was very nice.

The men came to pick up the rugs well within the two-hour window they had given us. They were businesslike and polite. They promised the rugs one week later. A day or two later, the plant called to say that two of the rugs needed minor repairs on the edges; they had a reasonable price and I gave permission. The men brought back the rugs one week later as they said they would, again within the time window. All cleaning and repairs were excellently done. No problems, a fine job, and will certainly use them again.
Description of Work: We had 7 rugs cleaned, Aubussons and orientals. Two had minor repairs to raveled edges.

They were on time. They were nice people. I did have to roll up the rug. They were very quick. The guy lifted the rug by himself. They came in and left in a minute. The rug was gone for about a week or so. They made it look like a brand new rug. I would recommend them to others.
Description of Work: They came and picked up a 30 year old Oriental rug, cleaned it and did what they do, and then brought it back.

All service & work was quite acceptable. They charge extra to roll up the rugs, so do that yourself. They unrolled the wrong clean rug onto my floor while I was in the other room, so pay attention. My rug was still on the truck.`
Description of Work: They removed, washed, & delivered a very large wool rug, a medium wool rug, & a medium synthetic rug to my new address. Repairs were made to the 2 medium rugs. Padding was purchased for one middle-sized rug.
