A Carpet Cleaning Family.

Trusted Carpet Cleaning Experts in El Dorado Hills, Folsom, and Placerville for Over 30 Years

Welcome to Carter's Carpet Restoration—your go-to team for high-quality, professional steam cleaning services in the Sierra foothills. Family-owned and operated, we've proudly served the communities of El Dorado Hills, Folsom, Cameron Park, and Placerville since 1992.

Family.

Carter's Carpet Restoration began in 1992 as a one-man operation founded by Dean Carter. Today, it's still family-owned and operated, with Dean and Karen working side by side to serve customers with honesty and care.

Community.

We're proud to serve the El Dorado Hills, Folsom, and Placerville communities—and we treat every customer like a neighbor. Building trust and long-term relationships is at the core of everything we do.

Quality.

From day one, we've been committed to delivering top-tier carpet cleaning with integrity. That focus on quality has earned us a reputation for outstanding results and service across the region.

Built on Relationships, Backed by Experience.

Dean later met his wife, Karen, in the early 2000s. Together, they now run the business and are still the friendly voices customers hear when they call to schedule a cleaning. Over time, they've built a small but mighty team—just eight dedicated employees who are truly part of the Carter's family.

Our Master Technician Edgar has been with Carter's for over 16 years—a testament to the positive, professional environment we foster.

“We won’t hire anyone we wouldn’t trust in our own home.”

—Dean Carter

Every team member is background-screened, fully trained, and uniformed to ensure safety and professionalism.

What Sets Us Apart.

We take pride in being more than just another carpet cleaning company. We're part of the community—providing steam cleaning services you can trust, with a deep commitment to honesty, quality, and personalized care.

Win “Jube” Harris
Friendly, professional, and thorough. I was scheduled right away; they were on time and completed the job. My carpet was very clean. I've used them in the past and would recommend this company.
Katie Volpe
We had a minor job but needed attention to detail. We also were hoping for a quick repair. Carters was locally operated, replied very quickly, had great communication, and did the service quickly. The carpet patch looks great. Exceeded expectations and a value. Thank you.
Steve Hutchings
Great job on both our carpets and kitchen floor tile. I have not seen the grout so clean in years! Glad to have it sealed so it will stay that way. Our technician was great. Efficient, polite, got the job done, and paid attention to details. Will use this service again.
Jan Evgenikos
Excellent work! I cleaned my couch and recliner at least five times with the number one cleaner on the market. By the way, the smell of that cleaner was about as bad as the kitty urine odor. Anyway, I couldn't get the smell out. I finally used a steam cleaner, but still couldn't get the odor out. Carter's Carpet Cleaner was successful in removing the kitty urine odor leaving a very pleasant, refreshing smell. Also, the two employees were excellent, highly experienced, kind and respectful.

Excellent and courteous!

So if you happen to notice that your 9 x 12 white wool carpet doesn't like it should and you wondering why did I spent so much cheddar on it? Well let me tell that Carters Carpet brought that joy back after they finished cleaning and the results were perfect, like new !!
Protect your investment and let Carter's Carpet help you maintain that look. Second time I request their services, 1st time was to refresh my white linen couch, and yes awesome job, so let's just say I no longer worry that much about being careful around these two items for I know Carter's Carpet knowledge and equipment is current, as well as their technicians. Overall I'm well pleased with their service.

Give them a try, it's rare to find customer service like this!

They did a great job of cleaning my stone flooring and shower. The grout looks it did when first installed
William Thompson
When I called the company, I could tell it was one of the owners who answered the phone. Their business was very important to them as was getting my business. At first the prices seemed a little bit more, but the other company’s nickel and dime you. The technician was nicely groomed, kind, confident, professional and was so easy to work with. The other companies I called locally really could’ve cared less that I was on the phone. I definitely recommend this company

I have used Carter's for over 10 yrs. They are fantastic. This yr was harder because of a new puppy in my household. Austin did an amazing job restoring my cream colored Berber carpet. They are the best.
Cynthia Forsberg
The staff was very professional and thorough. Our carpets look great.
Sharon O'Neal
I use these guys every year in the spring and fall. They always deliver great service and happy customer service. I highly recommend them.
Robert Kilburg
First and foremost, got everything clean - all carpets and cloth dining room chairs. Second, total pros - conscientious, meticulous, and courteous. This is our fourth time using Carter's, and we will continue to do so.
Julie Parsons
Austin was professional, thorough and very friendly. He did an excellent job and I will definitely use Carter's Carpet again. Thank you!
Stan W
Carter's did a great job re-stretching our carpet. After several years we ended up with a pretty good ripple in our master bedroom carpet. Carter's technicians came out and were able to work around our heavy bedroom furniture without moving the bed. The carpet looks great, very happy.
Cleatta Simpson
I've used Carter's Carpet for a number of years. They never disappoint!
Dianne Curtis
Great service - timely and professional. We needed a tack strip replaced and the carpet stretched to be re-attached. Handled super well and easy to schedule with. Highly recommend!
Rod Conklin
Workers did a nice job and the rugs look great.
Kerry Huxley
Austin from Carters Carpet Restoration did a fantastic job on my very large sectional couch. It looks brand new! He also cleaned the carpet in my master bedroom and that also was a job well done. The Carters team is very professional. From the owner Dean, to his wife Karen and their technician Austin. Highly recommend!!

I had an amazing experience with Carters! From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and thorough. They cleaned both my carpets and couch, and the results were night + day. Everything looks so much better! What really stood out to me was their transparency. They clearly explained what to expect, the time frame, and the outcome — and they delivered exactly as promised. The guy (Austin I believe) was quick but didn’t cut corners, ensuring every inch was spotless. I highly recommend this company if you’re looking for top-notch service and exceptional results. Definitely a 5-star experience! They also offer a First Responder discount which is always appreciated!
Brent Irick
We've used Carter's Carpet Restoration multiple times since moving into our home, and they never disappoint! Scheduling an appointment is always a breeze, and the crews consistently show up on time. They treat our carpets with the utmost care, as if they were their own. Their prices have always been reasonable and fair. I can't recommend this company enough - they always deliver exceptional service!
Mike Carroll
Carter's is the best Carpet Cleaning service we have ever had. We have been doing business with them for several years now and they always do a great job. They are reasonably priced and we keep calling them back time and again. I definitely recommend these folks.
