Custom rug pad
Most rug retailers and cleaners will highly recommend using a rug pad underneath your area rug – we do here at Gallagher’s – because of the many benefits this small investment will yield.
Pet stain removal
Eliminating pet urine stains and lingering odors from carpets and rugs. This service is designed for homes with dogs, cats, or other pets that may have had accidents on floor coverings.
We bought a beautiful rug in Oaxaca Mexico and had it shipped here. When cutting the box open we sliced a 6” cut into the rug. Gallager’s repaired it so it’s virtually invisible on the front of the rug…great job!!! Highly recommend their services

This is one of the most friendly custom-oriented businesses that I’ve ever come across . I was super impressed by their timeliness and the quality of their work. They actually delivered my 2 rugs early and they looked amazing! Six stars!

I've used Gallagher's for several years for a reason. Reasonable prices and great service. Recently I had my stairs cleaned by Juan. He was very friendly professional and did a great job. Thanks Juan for excellent customer service!
Tanja Hasan-Farm
We had a basement flood and brought a rug in for cleaning and repair. Gallagher's took a while to get it done but communicated clearly and regularly, took a lot of care with the work, and discounted the repairs when they found areas that were damaged beyond what they had expected.

Super happy with my carpet cleaning. Brenda got me set up within less than a few days, quoted a very reasonable price, and Javier did an amazing job turning a stinky room full of pet stains into a spotless, clean-smelling haven. Thank you!

1st time using Gallagher’s and I was not disappointed. Javier was our technician and did an excellent and thorough job. He made sure to answer all my questions and explained everything he would be doing. I highly recommend using this carpet cleaning service.
Laurel McAllister
Javier did a great job of cleaning all our rugs. We recently had to put our old dog to sleep but before she passed on she'd had quite a few pee accident. At the end it was coming out both ends at the same time! Our rugs look amazing!!
Nancy Larson
Very fine work, nice people, fair prices. Highly recommend without hesitation. Thanks, Gallagher's, our room sparkles now because of the freshly cleaned carpet.
Billy Rudock
After extensive research, I picked Gallagher's and have been very happy. For the price of what other companies were charging for a surface level in-home cleaning, Tyler Gallagher's did a deep cleaning at their facility. The couch was ten years and old and now looks new.
James T.
I have trusted Gallagher Rugs for years and am never disappointed in the quality of their rug cleaning. They are always upfront if they have any concerns about the rug and their customer service is stellar.
I will never go anywhere else but Gallagher’s
How long will my carpets take to dry after they are cleaned?
Our powerful extraction process removes 90% of the water applied to your carpets during cleaning. Your carpets will be damp to the touch immediately after cleaning and should dry within 8-12 hours on average. Carpets will dry faster on warm, dry days and slower on cool, humid days. Using fans, opening windows, or turning on the central heat in fall and winter helps the carpets dry significantly faster.
Can I walk on my carpet after it is cleaned?
Yes, but it is a good idea to stay off the carpets as much as possible while they dry to reduce the chances of slipping, especially going up/down stairs and in transitions from carpet to a hard surface. Ask your technician for shoe covers to cover your socks/shoes if you need to walk on the carpets while they are drying.
Do you move furniture?
We can move or help move most items including sofas, tables and chairs. We cannot move cabinetry/bookshelves, dressers, beds, art pieces, instruments, or anything that could potentially harm the technician or damage the item if it is moved. This is up to the discretion of the technician. We offer this additional service as a courtesy.
Do you use green products?
Yes! We have several different cleaning options available, including completely green cleaning options that contain no chemicals or surfactants. We may recommend a combination of green products and spot treatment with standard products for a more effective cleaning, but the choice is yours, and we customize the product mix for each service.
Do you use a zero residue process?
Yes - everything that is applied to your carpet is thoroughly rinsed at the end of the cleaning with hot water extraction to neutralize and remove any product residue so your carpets are soft, clean, and safe for pets and kids to be in contact with.
How often should I clean my rugs?
We recommend a restorative, deep cleaning of your rugs every 1-2 years. This can be affected by many different factors like the style of the rug, how heavily the rug is trafficked, and how sensitive your family is to allergens. Read our post on How Often Shoud I Clean My Rugs to learn more.
How long does it take to clean a rug?
Our average turnaround time is 1-2 weeks. Heavily soiled/stained rugs or rugs that require additional services beyond cleaning may have longer turnaround times.
What types of rugs can you clean?
We clean wool rugs, synthetic rugs, hand-knotted rugs, Persian rugs, Oriental Rugs, braided rugs, kilim rugs, shag rugs, tufted rugs, jute rugs, cotton rugs, and even sheepskins and cowhides.
Do you offer rug pick-up and delivery?
Yes! Please contact us for an appointment.
Can you repair my rug?
Yes! We offer hand repair and rug fabrication services - please contact us for an estimate!
