KAOUD Carpets & rugs

We had a great experience with Kaoud Carpets & Rugs. Fred was very helpful, flexible and resourceful, and the installation was efficient and flawless. We would definitely hire them again for any other carpeting work. - 10/14/2021 

The tired and dusty little hall rug I left off at Kaoud's was a beauty when unrolled there a short time later. The background red glowed, and the rose, pink, green, and cream colors in the center were bright and clean. And, the ends were repaired. Fred K*** was a pleasure to meet, generous with his time. He explained the rug's background, how it would be cleaned and repaired. And suggested the best option for a rug pad; a pleasure to my bare feet! Kaud's would be my recommendation to evaluate a carpet, assess problem areas, and restore/clean expertly. - 2/20/2019 

Kaoud (and Fred specifically) was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and excellent customer service, not to mention they did a great job cleaning our rug. I felt Fred went above and beyond, even sending us photo updates throughout the cleaning process. Our rug, which was very overdue for a cleaning, is noticeably more vibrant and softer. We felt very safe having our rug cleaned during the COVID crisis, Kaoud took extra precautions and still turned our rug around very quickly. Prices were in line with industry standard. Kaoud will be our go-to shop for oriental rug cleaning in the future and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. - 6/02/2020 

It's rare now-a-days to get the quality of service and product that you receive from the Kaouds. As soon as you walk into the store, you receive quality service with a smile and most importantly, patience. They are very calm and quite professional. No pressure to buy either.
I just purchased wall-to-wall carpet for our family room. I assumed that they only sold orientals, but I was wrong. My friend had told me to go see what they had. She was also looking for broadloam for a staging job she was doing in Weston and was quite happy with what she found. I had purchased an oriental rug from them years ago and was quite happy then. So I decided to go there to see their selection. I was pleasantly surprised with their vast selection of sisals and jutes! I wanted a modern contemporary look and they had it all. Joanne Kaoud even offered to come to my home with a variety of samples. She came with an arm full of choices, with a big smile on her face, so I could see them in the room. We even had coffee together. Those little things mean a lot! I'm from Minneapolis and out East you don't always get the quality service that I received from the Kaouds. The carpet looks fabulous! Better that I ever expected! Plus with the scrap, Fred Kaoud suggested that they bind the edges and now I have an extra rug in the parlor!
You'll be happy that you used Kaouds! We are! - 6/28/2015 

Kaoud's is the absolute best! Our go-to for expert cleaning of our oriental carpets - they can eliminate any pet stain crisis! Also have a beautiful selection of carpets! Greatest service ever. - 7/26/2021 

Friendly, efficient, pleasant and excellent work. I would recommend them to anyone looking to care for their rugs. - 11/13/2019 

Fred Kaoud and Kaoud Carpets in Wilton gave excellent service. We originally purchased our living room and dining room carpets from them many years ago. This was the first time we sent the rugs out to be cleaned. Fred kept us informed via e-mail. They picked up and delivered our carpets, and refringed the 10x14 ft carpet. They had to do multiple extractions and included new pads. We had an old stain from dropping a green bean casserole on one rug many years ago and they did an excellent job of removing the stain. The two delivery men, Ben and Jose, did a wonderful job and were very professional. We appreciated that they wore masks. I would highly recommend Kaoud Carpets in Wilton. - 7/22/2020 

The 2 rugs we had cleaned by Kaoud, one an oriental, came out beautifully. The pick-up and delivery service was seamless. I highly recommend Kaoud Carpets. - 3/11/2021 

From the very beginning, as soon as I walked in the door, my experience with Fred Kaoud and Kaoud Carpets & Rugs has been nothing but exceptional. I had to have a very fine rug that has been in my family for over 35 years cared for. Unfortunately, it had suffered significant damage from both water and moths. Thankfully only around the edges. At first, I wanted to just stop the bleeding, but what Fred and his very talented in house weaver suggested, although radical, brought my family heirloom back to its former glory. Pictures can not even come close to describing the end result. The outside border was removed, the edges rebound and fringe overcasted. The rug is now absolutely perfect with no compromises or imperfections. Although now a bit smaller in size, it is a remarkable piece that has been brought back to its former glory. I am absolutely confident that this rug will be passed down to the next generation, just like all fine hand woven rugs should be. Thank you, Fred and Kaoud Rugs. - 2/04/2020 

We just purchased our fifth Persian carpet from Kaoud Carpets and Rugs. Fred worked to find us another beautiful carpet that needed to be an unusual size to fit into our family room which has unique dimensions. This is truly a great addition to our house! The team did a quick job laying the carpet and pad when they delivered it to our home. We’re already thinking about our next purchase from Kaoud…. - 10/27/2023 

Joanne and the team at Kaoud were nothing but professional from start to finish! They restored and cut down a large Oriental rug that has been in my family for 3 generations. I’m thrilled with the outcome - you would never know it was altered and it is simply beautiful work. I would highly recommend working with them! - 5/03/2023 

Working with Fred was an absolute pleasure. Very professional, quality work and timely performance. We had six or seven rugs cleaned and packed for storage, we were in the process of moving, and they all came out beautiful. I highly recommend their services. - 9/04/2021 

Very professional and clearly and slowly explained the work done. I am coming back again. Nice people. Great job. - 11/04/2021 

Excellent service from choosing our carpet to installation. Fred is very helpful and knowledgeable and was a pleasure to work with. He was ready to work with us on whatever the price point. Installation was seamless as well. Very professional company, and as an interior designer, a great team to work with. - 8/01/2019

Absolutely the Best! Highly recommend the all services for cleaning and especially restoration. Bravo - 2/18/2022 

Extremely pleased with our service from Kaoud. The showroom had an abundance of options, but Fred helped us narrow down to several choices and sent us swatches to within the week. Once we selected our carpet, we placed the order and had it installed e within a couple of weeks. The installation was professionally done and the installer walked through a few cutting options with us and listened to our wishes before offering his own suggestion. Highly recommend! - 3/21/2023 

A leaking water pipe caused considerable damage to carpeting in our basement family room. Total replacement of carpeting and padding was needed. We shopped several carpeting stores then found desirable products at Kaoud Rugs in West Hartford. The sales person, Christina L********, came to our home , measured all open areas, closets and stairs. The price was acceptable. When installation occurred, I was impressed at the concern for detail and precision performed by the crew. I cannot find a flaw at the stairs, around lolly columns, at doorways or closet entries. They did a very good installation. Maurice Kaoud helped finalize communication with our insurance. We are pleased with all interactions with Kaoud Rugs of West Hartford. - 12/10/2021 

Excellent experience. Received assistance with matching colors/designs and installation was no problem. - 10/05/2020 

We were very happy with our recent purchase of a carpet from Fred at Kaoud. The service was excellent form start to finish and the carpet will give us lots of pleasure for years to come. - 9/05/2021 

Excellent customer service from the moment we stepped in the store through installation. Fred could not have been more helpful providing advice to us as we selected carpet to install a runner on a wooden staircase. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the different brands and materials and made specific recommendations based on our design inspiration and budget. The installer was extremely meticulous and skilled, and the final product looks great. - 9/23/2023 

Couldn’t be happier with the service we received. The work was done promptly and professionally. We would definitely recommend them for any of your carpet needs! - 10/03/2017 

Great selection, excellent service, and delivered promptly (on a holiday no less). We were very pleased with our Kaoud experience! - 9/08/2021 

Our family just used Kaoud Carpets to install a stair runner and for an area rug. After visiting a few different carpet stores, we chose to go with Kaoud and could not be happier with our decision. Fred and his team are beyond friendly and helpful and they had a great selection to choose from. Removal and installation was top notch as well! We will without a doubt be using Kaoud again for our carpeting/flooring needs. - 1/30/2022 

I would like to thank Fred and the entire team at Kaoud for the incredible job they did on cleaning and restoring our family antique rugs.
We brought in our rugs in need of a lot of work and cleaning, all of the staff was professional, knowledgeable, skilled, and, helpful. I rarely write these postings notes , but in this case I am absolutely thrilled with the results and highly recommend Kaoud and their services. Bravo ! - 2/18/2022 

We have been Kaoud customers since the late 1960's when they were located in Milford, CT; and , then went to their new showroom in Wilton when it opened in the late 1980's. No words can adequately express the professionalism of this family owned company. They recently went "above and beyond" in helping us with an unusual situation with one of our Karastan rugs. We thank them so much for their assistance. Not only are the owners wonderful people to deal with; but also, their pick-up and delivery team is great, and the way they solved a carpet placement in my home recently was outstanding. Dealing with Kaoud is a genuine pleasure and we would highly recommend them. ***l and ******* *********** - 12/12/2017

This was our first time visiting Kaoud Carpets & Rugs, and we will be returning there soon to make our next purchase. We were greeted as soon as we walked into the store. Joanne gave us the choice to browse on our own or , if we wanted help, to receive pressure-free advice. She was friendly and helpful and guided us to a few rugs that we liked a lot and fit our needs well. We were able to buy a rug quickly and efficiently and had it home that day. Later that day I was talking with my sister and learned that many of her friends have been shopping at Kaoud for years and keep returning to make new purchases. We made a fortuitous discovery. - 11/13/2022 

We had a wonderful experience with Kaoud Carpet when we downsized to a new house. Fred and his team were ultimate professionals, and Fred was especially adept at communicating regularly and clearly via email. They cleaned and repaired at least 8 Oriental carpets and all look wonderful. One was a multi-generational much used carpet that was worn and tired looking, and now looks beautiful. The work took some time, but Fred was very upfront about this at the beginning. The cost of delivery was built into the total cost which was paid upfront, and that plan served us well. We always knew the status of each carpet, thanks to Fred's emails. All in all, not only was their cleaning and repair excellent, but the combination of utter professionalism, yet informal, friendly, and communicative style informed our five star review. - 5/17/2021
