About our service in Montclair
Montclair is part of our Essex County service area, and our technicians cover the whole municipality.
This is one of the most distinctive housing stocks in the state, large houses built mostly between the 1890s and the 1920s, with full staircases that turn, deep skirtings, and hardwood floors carrying wool and oriental rugs rather than wall-to-wall carpet. That makes rug work and stair work the two things we do most here, and both are hand jobs. Rugs get the fiber identified and the dyes tested before anything gets wet, and the floor underneath the rug gets cleaned as part of the same visit.
Montclair is a rug town. The housing is largely late-Victorian and early-twentieth-century, built when hardwood was the floor and carpet was something you laid on top of it. That is still the pattern: wall-to-wall tends to be upstairs and in the bedrooms while the main rooms have wool or oriental rugs over boards. So the two jobs here are rugs and stairs, and both of them are worked by hand. The staircases are the era's classic: a turn partway up, treads of uneven depth, a carpeted stringer on both sides, and no machine head that will sit flat on any of it. The town is also built on a hillside, which means more outside steps, more grit tracked in, and entryways that work harder than the rest of the floor.
Wool and oriental rugs
The fiber gets identified and the dyes tested in a hidden corner before any moisture touches the rug, because red and indigo beside a cream ground is the combination that bleeds. Most rugs here are not faded, they are holding dust that scatters light and mutes the pattern. Take that off and the color comes back.
Victorian staircases
A staircase with a turn in it has treads of different depths and a carpeted stringer on each side, and it is done on hands and knees from bottom to top. It is the slowest part of the visit and the part where the difference is most obvious, because a staircase is the only carpet in a house you look straight down onto.

Questions
Questions from Montclair customers
Question 1: Do you clean oriental rugs in the house?
In most cases yes, and the floor underneath gets cleaned as part of the same visit. The fiber is identified and the dyes tested first. Where a rug should not be wet-cleaned in a living room, we tell you before booking.
Question 2: Will cleaning fade the colors in my rug?
No. Gentle cleaning removes the dust that has been dulling the colors. What people describe afterwards is the pattern coming back, that is dust removal, not dye.
Question 3: Can you clean a staircase with a turn in it?
Yes, by hand, on every step. Winder stairs with uneven treads and carpeted stringers are the standard in Montclair and there is no machine that does them properly.
Question 4: Do you cover Upper Montclair as well?
Yes, Upper Montclair, Montclair Center, Watchung Plaza, Walnut Street and the whole township.

Because it was positioned so close to a light window, our leather couch had become lifeless, scuffed, and overall dried up. Amazing results were achieved on the material after a thorough cleaning and subsequent expert conditioning treatment. It looks really expensive, smells like rich leather, and is soft to the touch.

Bob was great. He communicated clearly what the job would entail and was honest about what stains could not be 100% removed. Was happy with the service. The carpets looked brand new again!

I had a great experience with this carpet company! I called this past Friday and they were able to help me right away. From start to finish, Jacob was professional, friendly, and did an excellent job. Jacob was punctual, respectful of my home, and took the time to make sure the carpets were cleaned thoroughly. The difference was amazing and the carpets look refreshed. I really appreciate Jacob’s attention to detail and great customer service. The price was very reasonable for the job that was completed. I would definitely recommend Jacob and Carpet Cleaning Wizards to anyone looking for reliable carpet cleaning!
