Northside Carpet has been on the Northside of Pittsburgh since 1900. Back then, we were proud to offer direct service via a chain-drawn truck, one of the first of its kind serving the Pittsburgh area. This style of truck was durable and lightweight, perfect for traversing the road conditions and hilly terrain of the Pittsburgh area.

Early in our history, our representatives traveled to customers' homes via horse drawn buggy or coach, cleaning carpets using an air compression method and screens to sift the dirt from the carpet. This was a tedious process, performed completely by hand.

The expanded urban development and growth in population in the early 1900s provided increased demand for custom carpet cleaning services by Northside Carpet Cleaning Company, resulting in the need for an expanded facility to support the transition and expansion of services being offered.

The only place I would trust to clean our rugs. They have done beautiful work on animal hide, wool, and jute rugs, all at very fair prices and with timely service.

Beautiful rugs and Ken was wonderful. Unfortunately, we're not able to afford the rugs we like at this time. We will definitely go back for a rug when we can.

We had our carpets cleaned by Northside Carpet and they came back looking like brand new. We have several pets and there were multiple stains and odors that they completely got out of all the rugs.

Ken and his team at North Side Carpet are simply outstanding! They took some damaged rugs and restored them to their natural beauty for our family. Trust is everything with the handling of these rugs, and they proved to be very trustworthy and professional each step of the way.
