KAOUD Carpets & rugs

I have been working with Kaoud for over 15 years and they are true pros! Great customer service, great value and timely responses to questions. It’s nice to work with a local, family owned business. Thank you!! - 6/24/2020 

Fred and his team at Kaoud Carpets & Rugs are amazing. They have a fantastic selection and are helpful with picking the right carpet to fit your needs and staying in touch for any questions to ensure the job gets done correctly and as quickly as possible. We had them install a runner on our stairs and the installation was quick, seamless, and beautifully done - we're very happy with the results! We will definitely be going back for future carpeting needs!! - 1/20/2023 

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 

We bought a beautiful carpet from Kaoud’s, It was the perfect choice and they helped us get just the right one and right colors for the space . They have a great selection and really use their experience to guide us. - 7/13/2019

We needed solutions for our home after my wife fell on our dangerously beautiful hardwood floors resulting in a serious broken leg. Fred helped us select a number of beautiful area rugs and some custom designed solutions for stairs and walkways that now provide safe but beautiful floors that accent our hardwood. He brought several choices out to our home so we could see what they looked like in our home and was patient as we tried a couple times before settling on what worked best for us. The installation was professional as they consulted with us and advised us on several decisions that needed to be made to ensure a quality result that suited the limitations of some of the spaces.
This is the second time we have dealt with Kaoud in 3 years. The previous carpets we bought still look brand new ( compared to one very expensive dining room carpet we bought from another design store that is not holding up well)
For quality, selection, service and professional installation we would not use anyone else. - 7/25/2019 

We lived in Connecticut and appreciated the longevity of this local family business and the great customer service! Around since 1954, they are doing things right for the customer!
We built our retirement home in North Carolina, I made sure that I purchased my rugs from Kaoud Carpets & Rugs! Fred Kaoud Jr has an amazing eye for color selections and he can recommendation rugs based on your style. He has been spot on with our selections. Whether you are looking for a runner, carpet for stairs, or showcase pieces for your living areas their selections are amazing! We even got our outdoor rugs for our screened porch. Every year when we travel back up to CT, we make a point of stopping by the Wilton store to check out the inventory and to catch up with the Kaouds! I love when I can ship my rugs back to NC and they are wrapped professionally. Love their rug pads too! Time to change our colors! See you soon! - 9/23/2015 

Prompt and courteous service, work done well. - 6/12/2020 

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 

Kaoud Carpets and Rugs provided exceptional service regarding the cleaning and moth proofing of 16 of my heirloom Persian rugs--starting with the phone call I had with Fred Kaoud, Jr. Mr. Kaoud arrived at our home the very next day to personally inspect the carpets. He patiently explained the problems with each one, the process by which his firm cleans and moths proofs. He also provided a detailed account of each rug, its age and origin. Six weeks later the rugs returned home----now silky, exquisitely clean, the colors vibrant. They have never looked this good. His professional team brought the rugs in and expertly placed them around the house, explaining why some rugs should be placed in the same room with another rug, due to the common origin and related designs. Fred and his team were a delight to work with. We can't say enough about Kaoud Carpets and Rugs-For anyone who treasures their rugs as heirloom quality art, Kaoud is the only place to go. - 5/05/2019 

My husband and I just moved to the area and needed to clean our lovely Persian rug that I inherited from my Armenian grandmother.
Fred Kaoud Jr. was very responsive to my inquiries and extremely knowledgeable. The Kaoud team carefully removed many years of dust and hand washed our precious heirloom. In addition, the installation team helped with sound recommendations on where to position the rug in our new home once it was cleaned. It looks stunning! What a wonderful way to feel at home in our new home! - 8/30/2021 

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

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

Great service and quality care. Thank you. - 2/20/2019

we sent out carpets that had been abused by pets and they came back brand new, perfectly clean, no pet odors, no stains, like magic. Thank you so much for your work. - 8/29/2020 

We purchased several oriental rugs 15 years ago from Kaoud and continue to be completely happy with their quality. When it was necessary to replace old carpeting in other areas, we visited several dealers but found there was nothing superior to Kaoud in both quality and service. Everything was done on time and in a thoroughly professional manner. Fred gave us a variety of options and suggestions that helped us make a decision without any pressure. The installers, George and Gus, were professional in their own right and did an excellent job, especially on hard to match corners. We could not be more satisfied. - 8/12/2019 

They are an amazing business. Fred , the owner is professional and prompt. He cleaned 5 of our carpets flawlessly and delivered right on time. They are a pleasure to deal with ! - 7/30/2021 

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 

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 

Find your dream carpet here- outstanding selection and service. - 5/19/2015 

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 

I have known and purchased carpets from Fred Kaoud for over 30 years and he and his family are very honest and professional business people. Last month I had my carpet cleaned by them and the end result looked great.

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 

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 

We went to Kaoud Carpets for a runner on our staircase. When we entered, Fred immediately greeted us and guided us through the plethora of options. Fred helped us narrow down to a few choices and sent us samples. Our runner was installed perfectly and we couldn’t be happier! We will absolutely be returning to Fred for future carpets. - 3/21/2023 

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

This company gave professional and very satisfactory service cleaning 3 of our oriental carpets. We have used this company for many years to help us keep our rugs in top shape. Very satisfied. - 2/07/2020
