They did very poor work on a very expensive carpet and then proceeded to respond most nastily when I complained. Do not take anything of value to them!
Response from Zakian

"Our Family has been servicing rugs in Philadelphia since 1923. We appreciate when customers review our services so we can strive to always improve. Mr. [Member Name Removed] had 2 carpets cleaned and repaired 6 months ago, while he did not offer a review at that time, I assume he was pleased enough to bring us 2 more carpets in December for repair only. One of the carpets was a very fine small Persian carpet that he wanted to have a sleeve sewn on the back so he could hang the rug on the wall. Our head repairman told Mr. [Member Name Removed] that would be no problem and when asked was told the stitching would not be visible on the face. Because the carpet was extremely thin, it was very difficult to sew the sleeve on the back securely without having the threads show slightly on the face. Our mistake was not calling Mr. [Member Name Removed] when we realized that the service we promised could not be delivered perfectly and let him make the decision. I do take exception with Mr. [Member Name Removed] saying that we responded "most nastily". I explained what happened and apologized for not calling him so he could make the decision. I also find it disingenuous that in Mr. [Member Name Removed]'s review he failed to mention that we refunded all his money. As always we will learn from our mistake and continue to strive for exceptional service. Robert Zakian President"

The cleaning was excellent as was the service. They called prior to the cleaning to explain what work required and gave me a quote. The cost was more than I was expecting from an advertised special but the discrepancy was explained and was valid and reasonable. I would have liked to have known little more about how their services worked prior to the pickup but that is just a minor issue.

Not sure if they even cleaned the rug...or if they did the cleaning was so minimal that I couldn't even tell what had been done. Rug was wrapped in paper so I didn't realize the poor quality of the cleaning until I got home. Called to complain but only got answering machine... and no reply.

I have found the people at Zakian to be very knowledgeable about all kinds of rugs. They carefully examine the rugs and offer good advice on how they will make repairs. They also provide good suggestions for on-going care you can do yourself. All if my rugs were ready when promised. I highly recommend Zakian.

They were very professional on the phone handling my inquiry. They showed up on time to pick up the rugs. They called to discuss repairs that were needed and confirm what we wanted done, and then they did it. Return service was prompt and on-time. Rugs look great. We were very satisfied and will use them again!

My two oriental rugs were taken to their cleaning facility and thoroughly cleaned ($508).  They also sent an individual out to clean my wall-to-wall carpets ($525).  Both jobs were done well.

I've done business with Zakian a couple of times now.  Don knows flooring, rugs, and the business well.  He is knowledgeable about trends, reliable, reasonable with price, and will give you sound advice.  Give them a try.

"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?"
