Return and delivery
Delivered, laid and set on its pad, with a written record of the work that travels with the piece.
Heritage
Four generations at one family's table.
The Megerian family has cleaned and repaired rugs since 1917. The tools have changed; the hand still does the work, and every piece is treated as though it will be handed down again.

Rug repair near me, in Williston Park
If you are searching for antique rug restoration or rug repair near Williston Park, the work is done by our own family, never a subcontractor across the country. Bring a piece to Hillside Ave for an in-person assessment, or ask us to collect it. We hand-wash, reweave, rebind fringes and edges, correct moth and pet damage, and treat stains on Persian, Turkish, Caucasian, Chinese, and contemporary rugs.
Williston Park, Mineola, Albertson, East Williston, Garden City, New Hyde Park and Herricks are all a short drive from the studio. Workshop rug cleaning takes about two weeks on average; every rug is different, and any repairs needed will extend that time.
Serving Long Island and New York City
Across Nassau and Suffolk Counties, the Gold Coast towns and out to the Hamptons, we collect area rugs, clean wall-to-wall carpeting on site, and move antique and estate pieces with the care of a gallery loan. Pickup and delivery are free.
We also serve Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Westchester, Northern New Jersey and Connecticut. Where the work is done depends on the piece and what it needs. Cleaning, repair and restoration are carried out at our Williston Park workshop or in your home, and our Greenpoint studio in Brooklyn is there for city clients to bring a piece in and meet us.
Serving New York and the surrounding counties.
Pickup and delivery for area rugs, on-site consultation for wall-to-wall carpeting, and careful transport for antique and estate pieces.
