Rug cleaning
in Piedmont.

Piedmont is 1.70 square miles enclaved entirely by Oakland, and it holds some of the oldest rugs on our benches, from the bungalow blocks of Lower Piedmont up through Central Piedmont to the estate lots on Sea View and Hampton Road. The drive from Newark is about 27 miles.

Between 1907 and 1940 some 2,500 homes were built here, nearly seventy percent of the housing stock still standing, and that single figure shapes most of what reaches our benches. Central Piedmont is stately two-story houses on lots of six to fifteen thousand square feet, built for family living, with large Persians laid over quarter-sawn oak; heavy furniture standing on unprotected wool crushes the pile into fixed rectangles that only a full immersion wash and careful grooming will raise again. Lower Piedmont is early twentieth-century bungalows on lots under 6,000 square feet, where rugs are cut down or rebound to fit a small room, and rebinding is more often the job than washing. Around the Estates lots on Sea View, King and Crocker Avenues, Hampton Road and the Glen Alpine-Sotelo Loop we handle antique and silk pieces that need appraisal work as much as cleaning, and we issue USPAP appraisals for insurance and probate. The Hillsides in the north and east stand on slopes over thirty percent with real wildfire exposure; smoke odor settles deep into wool and only comes out in the bath, never under a surface deodorizer. Everything is inspected and photographed before a drop of water touches it, then put through twelve-step cold-water immersion. Reweaving and fringe work happen in the same building.

Telephone or text (650) 675-8160 any day between 8am and 8pm. A collection window is agreed with you and confirmed inside a day. Streets here are narrow and several estate driveways are steep, so tell us where the van should stop and we will plan around it. Collection and return are included. The rug is wrapped at your door, driven to Newark by our own crew, and kept in a climate-controlled room if a room is being redecorated.

Our route into Piedmont

Forty to fifty-five minutes from Newark.

It is 27 road miles from the Newark atelier. We run north on I-880, pick up I-980 through downtown Oakland, join I-580 east and climb in by Oakland Avenue or Highland Avenue depending on which side of the city you live on. Off-peak that comes to forty to fifty-five minutes. The final stretch is deliberately slow, on narrow curving streets with little parking, so we allow for it rather than hurry the handover.

Route marker: Newark atelier via I-880, I-980 and I-580 to Oakland Avenue. Turn-by-turn map on request.
