Almost entirely post-1995 construction — large open-plan houses with engineered wood or LVP throughout.
Big machine-made and hand-tufted rugs sized for open-plan rooms — 10x14 and larger is routine, alongside a growing number of hand-knotted pieces bought new rather than inherited.
Hand-tufted rugs are glued, not knotted, and the latex adhesive breaks down with age or over-wetting — which is what produces that distinctive smell. They need a different wash method entirely from a knotted rug, and it's the single most common misdiagnosis we see.
Collection and return across Henrico County is free. We collect the rug, assess it at the facility, and confirm the price before any work begins — a wool rug is heavy and awkward once rolled, and moving it yourself is a common way to crease a foundation.

Send the approximate size and whatever you know about where the rug has been living — hardwood, a basement, a room that runs on radiator heat all winter. We’ll answer with an estimate and a pick-up slot. No figure is settled before the rug has been measured and inspected in person.
