Services
Hand made Oriental rugs and special antique rugs are susceptible to moth damage. The two primary reasons for this are high humidity and lack of periodic cleaning, which could lead to depreciation in the rug's value of as much as 90%. Even after repair, it would still not regain its full market value, however, regular maintenance and cleaning is a good way to avoid this problem.
We first opened our business in Jacksonville during 1990, where we handled the cleaning and repair of commercial rug dealers. In 1996 we expanded our services to the general public, as well as opening new businesses throughout North Florida. We have provided excellent customer service to over two thousand satisfied customers, and have proudly run this business for more than fifteen years. And that's just the beginning! This type of rug will be used for a very long time and can be passed down in a family from generation to generation.
Our Showroom, the Bijan Rug Gallery, is located on the same premises as our restoration workshop. We stock a large selection of hand and machine-woven genuine oriental rugs, which we source directly from suppliers Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Turkey, and China. Importing the rugs directly ensures that we can offer genuine items at the best possible prices.
One of the unique services we offer to our customers is the installation of stairway runners of any design, angled or straight. We carry a wide selection of runners, from hand woven to machine made. A rug pad stops oriental rugs from rippling, bunching, and moving when the rug is used over carpet. We recommend and use only DUR-Hold brand pads under our runners.

I went to the business to get a estimate for repair for a hand knotted Tibetan rug damaged in an insurance claim. The owner was extraordinarily rude. I advised I simply needed an estimate for repair on his letterhead per the insurance company's request. So after taking it in, and leaving with nothing in writing, I write him for the estimate via email.
He typed it out in the email but refused to put it on his official company paperwork. After about 5 requests by email explaining how the insurance wanted it, he did not reply. So I took it in a second time in person thinking I could clear up any issue in person. Within 2 minutes of my arrival he refused to put anything in writing, saying he sent it to me in email form.
Again explaining what was needed he rudely kicked me out of his store. Do not give this man your business. He handles his business in a very shady way. I would not trust him in the care of my rugs nor would I ever step foot in his store again to buy a thread of yarn

Expertise is an important feature in any business, but is absolutely essential when dealing with things like persian carpets. Hamid and his team posess expertise. In addition, their service was professional, timely, and competitively priced. They cleaned two 9x11 carpets and a round 6' carpet for me as well. The picked them up at our house, assisted in moving furniture to make the accessible, and then returned them, wrapped for our move to another state. The did a fantastic job in cleaning the carpets and provided us valuable suggestions for future upkeep. I strongly recommend Advance Oriental Rug Services!
