I was quite happy with the cleaning of our area rug. In addition, Shenasi carpet refinished the fringe on my area rug. My area rug is like new now.

Cleaning and repair to a small, older rug. Now, it is absolutely like new! The owner is a cream. I am a first time client, but surely not the last time, will go back! Congratulations!

After investigating numerous Persian carpet cleaning services we determined that Shenasi had the expertise and love of Persian carpets that would assure our outcome. We brought in five Persian carpets we had purchased in Turkey for cleaning and restoration.We are absolutely delighted with the outcome.

They repaired torn edges on my small older wool rug. The price was lower quote than other places. I chose hand repair and it came out great. Repair in 2 weeks because so many locals in North Van drop off rugs for cleaning/repairs. Plus Shenasi Carpet had great selection of rugs.

I recently engaged the services of Shenasi Carpet and P.C.C. Carpet to clean 4 area rugs for me. 2 are handmade rugs handmade in Afganistan which also needed repairs. I am very pleased with the quality of the repairs and the cleaning of all of them. All 4 rugs look fantastic. The service was excellent. They also pick up and delivery which is handy. If you head into their store, you'll be overwhelmed by their inventory of beautiful rugs. I'd use these guys again!
