My biggest nightmare has always been buying rugs, especially stair runners! I came across The Carpet Workroom and had a totally different experience than I expected. I made an appointment and met with Peter . He has such a kind and thoughtful demeanor and he is patient to boot! I was looking for a particular pattern and color and he helped me find it and also had me take some other samples home just in case what I was thinking I wanted turned out differently. When I made my choice he answered my 100 questions and then helped me choose a colored binding which was just perfect! Installation was meticulous - we couldn't be happier. Pricing is good and more competitive than most stores. And you can't put a price tag on care and customer service . Thank you !!

During my search for the perfect runner for the staircase in my home, I came across an ad on Instagram for The Carpet Workroom. I ended up finding a runner I loved and was quickly contacted by Matt Lovetere who walked me through the whole process and answered all my questions. Matt and his team were professional, patient and knowledgeable. All my emails were answered promptly by Matt. There are so many huge companies out there selling rugs; however, it's a good feeling spending your money on perhaps a smaller business that that focuses on customer service and quality of care. I'm very happy with the runner. It's some of the best quality I've ever touched. It looks beautiful!

I highly recommend The Carpet Workroom. I went to a few carpet stores before finding this one, and they definitely had the best selection of modern looking rugs and also had some reasonable prices. I picked out a nice wool rug for our stairs, and John efficiently communicated with me to help us pick out details and set up times for measuring and installation. The whole process was stress-free and very quick. We love our new runner on our stairs and get a lot of compliments on it.

We were very interested in the Carpet Workroom as we knew they had all sorts of carpet remnants on site to choose from. We needed custom replacement runners in our kitchen and after a long exhaustive searches, there are not many carpet stores that have a large inventory of leftover remnants and that will modify to your needs. We went and chose a very nice mid-quality (they sort them low, medium, and high) and pricing reflects that. We needed 2 rugs custom made and James assisted us with the questions, and measuring it all out in the workroom. James was wonderful and told us that our piece would be able to be cut into 3 pieces (a runner that we have off the kitchen) so we were happy about that. It all came to about $630, quite a bit more over our budget but we needed this and we came all the way there and the carpet was wool and very good quality. In closing, there was some miscommunication and 1 of the runners was not the right size, and 1 was missing! After talking to Alison, it the 1st issue was corrected which was great. We got a very apologetic email from the owner Bill, he must have been alerted of the problem and he quickly made good on the issues (wrong size and missing runner) and sent the last piece to us UPS which was hugely appreciated. I wholeheartedly commend this company and hope to do business again with them in the future. Check out the pics of the runners they did!!

This is my favorite company for all carpet choices and installation. Their customer service is just as good as their professional installation. Recommend this to All ! They did more work for us!!! Fantastic

This has to be the best referral I ever received. This family owned company has amazing product and a fabulous selection. They encouraged me to take several sample to try and helped know what would work best in my house. Everyone was so nice and has answers for all my questions. Can't say enough great things about this company!

Can’t wait for summer in Cape Cod

My last project in our recently renovated home in Cape Cod was to find a nautical stair runner. I called John at the carpet work room who made an appointment for me to come into the store and visit with him. He was extremely helpful, and guided me to the exact color, style, and quality runner that would fit my space. Within two weeks the rug came in and they had Jim visit my home to install it. It is absolutely perfect. It will hold up to my dog and all the company I have and more importantly aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The only problem you will have if you use the carpet workroom is that you are going to want to redo every room in your house! They are that good.

See all

I fell in love with a white wool rug two years ago and just couldn't stop thinking about it, and…read morewhile I don't let anyone wear shoes in my apartment I have a Goldendoodle. Right, a dog who loves the outdoors and can't take his shoes off! I bought the rug anyhow, and after a year I noticed that one side of it looked gray in areas, then I had the "aha" moment that it was where my pup likes to lie. I moved a year ago and just flipped the rug around and bought myself some time. Last month I decided to move again, and looked around to see if this rug was available in a material I could clean at home? No, wool only. I just assumed that sending a rug out for cleaning was hundreds of $$, and that was why I was thinking of calling it a lesson learned and just throw it away. I happened to see a post on NextDoor from someone asking about rug cleaning, and narrowed it down to Boston Rug and Kennedy Carpets. I get up early so I am often emailing at that time, and sent a message to both with details on the rug, size, etc. Received a message from Bahman with all the details, as well as a 20% offer for mentioning "cute dog" (the cute dog on his website is his dog). I said I was moving in a month and would get back to him when I had more details, and when I did, someone came and picked it up the next day and it was back a week later (earlier than expected!!!). I was so anxious to see it when it came back, but was rolled/wrapped up so nicely that I knew to leave it that way for the movers. As soon as I was in my new living room, I unrolled it and it is LIKE NEW!! Hooray!!!! Thanks to Bahman and his crew, I have what looks like a brand new rug again. Thanks so much to them (and the cute dog)!!

I do not recommend this company. I have used them twice. The first time was fine for one small…read morerug. We just used them again for a larger project, and I am very disappointed. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE - I called to order a rug cleaning before the deadline of a discount promotion I received by text. I spoke with someone who answered the phone, who said the head person was out but I would receive a call back. I never did. - I called back the following week. I set up a pickup date, and I mentioned the discount code I was sent via text as I am in their system. - This discount code was not honored. I failed to notice when I paid the bill because our home is under construction, and when I called back to remind their manager she denied that I was ever sent this. When I explained that I couldn't have dreamed up such a code and it was part of the reason I gave them my business again, she still refused to honor it. - When she called to let me know about setting up the delivery, her tone and her comments were accusatory "arent you reading my emails, I have tried to reach you". I apologized, but she proceeded to say "we cant store your rugs here" - again in a very accusatory tone. The email oversight was my bad, my intention was not. As anyone who has had to go through a renovation knows, details can easily get lost when you arent living in your home space. If you are looking for a company that honors their promotions and has professional customer service, go elsewhere. Boston Rug Cleaning is not your place.

Back in April, my wife "tasked" me with finding a new oriental rug for our living room. Based on…read moretheir outstanding reviews, I went to MOR and met David Mouradian, the face and, dare I say, personality of this family-owned business. After showing him pictures of our living room and explaining what we seemed to like, David showed me about 10-12 rugs and was very helpful explaining the differences between the styles/patterns, manufacture and quality, as well as appropriate sizing. With his guidance, I boiled it down to four and arranged to have them delivered to the house so we could see what they looked like with our furniture & colors (btw, I highly recommend doing this). My wife and I were so blown away, by how the rugs transformed the room, that we decided to buy one for our dining room as well. Both are hand-woven, tribal patterns from Afghanistan. Since then, I've taken four older rugs in for cleaning and one fringe repair....they look great! David and his team are exceptional at what they do. I could not be happier to have found and worked with a business like this - great experience all around!!

If you are simply buying a rug Melrose Oriental is fine. Nice selection to choose from…read more I brought a rug in to be cleaned and it was returned to me damaged. I understand you sign a waiver that states they can't guarantee spots will be removed but in my case they removed the dye from the rug, briefly mentioned it to me when I picked up my rug, never showed me what happened, and still charged me for the full cleaning despite damaging my rug. It seems like whoever was doing the cleaning didn't have enough expertise to know how to treat or clean my rug and irreparably damaged it. The fact that I was still charged the full amount for the cleaning felt disingenuous. They clearly knew they had damaged the rug as they mentioned it to me upon pick up. Not showing me the area affected when I was there felt like they were trying to hide their mistake. Be very cautious when you bring rugs here to be cleaned.
