    This is my rug that Sam's great team washed and then sheared off the evidence of my cat's affection. Looks like new.
    M S.

    Sam helped me establish appropriate pricing for Persian, Indian and Nepalese rugs that had been donated to be sold with proceeds to charity -- at the potential expense of his own sales! He evaluated 18 rugs made of wool, told me the estimated Knots Per Square Inch, type of design (Sarouk, Kashan, Tabatabaei), country of origin (Iran, India, Nepal) and anything further notable (vegetable dye). -- backstory: I had looked online for Persian rug dealers with good YELP! and Google ratings, and one stood out far from the others: Global Rug Specialists on El Camino in Mountain View. Hmm. Before I got there, I mentioned my quandary to a friend, and she said "Oh, I only trust my rugs to Sam." Sam, at Global Rug. Hmmm. Interesting coincidence. Then I visited another pal to pick up some donations and shared my quandary. Again, the person said -- unprompted -- "Oh, go to Global Rug and ask for Sam." Triple Hmmm. I arrived at Global Rug, unannounced and with no appointment. A man named Sam was very welcoming as he listened to my plight: "I have Persian rugs that were donated to sell to benefit refugee resettlement. But I don't know how to sell them or what to charge for them. And I realize I'm suggesting sales that compete with you." Without hesitation, Sam Nejad invited me to bring the rugs to his store and said he'd give me an on-the-spot estimate. (Not an appraisal -- because those cost $$$ -- but a quick estimate for used rugs from a knowledgeable professional who has earned great reviews as well as loyalty from friends I trust.) And then he suggested a price. Wow. That seemed too easy! I said I had a few more rugs that needed evaluation, and he was very welcoming. My own lovely (although not super expensive) 10x12 foot Persian rug needed a cleaning, so why not try Sam out myself? It had been 5 years since the last cleaning and showed evidence of my cat's affection. It would need a cleaning and a shaving. Since Sam performed his magic, not only is my rug brighter and more vivid, but you can't even tell we have a cat who loves the rug as much as we do. I'm sold! But now I'm still stuck with my quandary of how to sell these donated rugs? These are not "yard sale" items - the prices will start at $200 and to up to $7,000. Ideas?? (Sam advised me that some rugs need attention on the fringes or elsewhere, and all rugs should be inspected carefully for any moth damage. But these rugs are beauties!) My plan is to take photos of each rug, provide its specifics and dimensions and note comments Sam made. And I'll offer them for sale on Nextdoor and Facebook- with 100% of proceeds going to Refugee Resettlement. If you have other ideas on how I can turn these valuable donated assets into $$ for refugee resettlement, please let me know.

    I was looking for someone to clean my oriental rugs and went to Global Rug Specialist to get a quote. They are located on a very busy corner off El Camino Real and parking can be a challenge. I gave Sam the sizes of the rugs and he quickly gave me a quote. It was a lot more than I was willing to pay and it appeared there was no wiggle room for negotiations. So if price is not an option I would suggest you do what I did and look elsewhere.

    My rug came back looking good as new! I'm very pleased with the outcome, and it was worth the money to have it looking so good. Thanks!

    When it was time to replace our laminate floors and the carpeting on our stairs, hallway, and…read morebedrooms, we compared options at Home Depot and several local carpet stores. A measuring technician came out, took all the dimensions, and directed us to the 1020 W. San Carlos location to review their full carpet selection. At the store, we explained what we were looking for, compared carpet features and pricing, and worked with Dominic--who was very accommodating. His total project cost was competitive with the other quotes we received. We also wanted new baseboards that would match our freshly painted walls and trim. Dominic arranged to have the primed (but unpainted) 16' wood baseboards delivered ahead of installation, giving us time to paint everything before the carpet went in. Tip Our new carpet and pad are very soft and plush--great underfoot, especially on the stairs. Because the new flooring sits higher than the original laminate, our bedroom doors needed to be trimmed by about half an inch. We cut the doors ourselves, but it's worth asking whether your installer can include that as part of the project. Pros * Dominic is a true carpeting professional--he anticipated our needs and offered thoughtful guidance throughout the process. * Both the wood and carpet installation teams did solid, quality work. Cons * Some door trim was scuffed as the installers maneuvered large carpet rolls through our narrow hallway and doorways, so a bit of repainting was needed afterward.

    Strongly recommend! Dominic was fantastic to work with. Extremely prompt, great communicator and…read moreprovided very practical advice. I was always able to reach him and he always answered all Qs without hesitation. His team was also punctual to get the carpet installation done. Thank you again!
