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.

Second time using this company, what a gem they are! Show up exactly when promised, do a great job for a reasonable price. Jose Jr and Hector did the work today, they couldn't have been nicer and did a stellar job. So glad to have found this company!

EDIT: used them for a 3rd time in March 2026, Austin and his service was just as great as the other times used. Really great company, responsive, excellent cleaning, right on time, couldn't ask for anything else!

I can’t say enough good things about the way Jose cleaned my carpet. I didn’t even have to tell him what and where to clean some spots. He just did and cleaned the spots. I will give him 10 stars if I could!! And great price too!!!

I have been doing business with Carter’s Carpet Restoration for over 20 years and continue to be impressed by their excellent customer service and professionalism. Austin has been my technician for the last 5 or 6 years and there just aren’t enough positive things to say about this guy—dedicated, professional, hard working and respectful of me and my belongings. This last time he was assisted by Sergio and he’s learning from the best! Thank you to the amazing team at Carter’s! You guys do an outstanding job!

It's rare that I give a review for no transaction taken but I need too because Carter’s Carpet especially Dean is such a great guy. Very responsive and helpful even for a job that's just 6inchx6inch carpet repair. Thanks.

The team at Carters came highly recommended by our neighbors, who had wonderful experiences with them—and now we completely understand why. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received. They were professional, kind, and incredibly thorough from start to finish.
We had a stubborn coffee stain on our light-colored upholstery that we thought might never come out, but they handled it with great care and expertise. The results exceeded our expectations.
We highly recommend their team to anyone looking for exceptional service!

The young men who cleaned 4 rugs did an excellent job. They were thorough, efficient, friendly, and polite. We have used this service in the past and have always been completely satisfied. I highly recommend Carter's Carpet Restoration.

I had the most amazing experience today when my carpets were cleaned and additional cleaning of my tiles on the floor. I have lived with being have the tiles a different color for 25 years due to wear.
After the cleaning they were exactly like new.
Thank you so very much.

I had never heard of Carter's until a friend recommended them. My husband and I were super pleased with Austin who came to clean our carpets and a sectional. He was personable, knowledgeable, and meticulous. Replacing our carpet was a near future plan, but after Austin cleaned, we will move on to other projects for now. He did a fantastic job. We will for sure be using Carter's again in the future.
Joan Bailey
Excellent carpet cleaning for small area, especially removing dog stains.
Jennifer Patterson
100% happy with Carters Carpet Restoration. I called last minute before the holiday and they were able to get me scheduled. Prompt professional service highly recommended their services!
Lawrence Niekamp
We needed to have the carpet stretched in a few rooms. The techs arrived on time and got right to work. We had moved the small items out of the way, but they moved the bigger furniture -- a service which we paid for. They were quiet in the stretching -- I had expected a lot of pounding. End result, no more ripples in the carpet, furniture all back in place. We are happy.
Diana O.
Austin and Sergio did a great job on our carpets. They were very professional and prompt. I highly recommend Carters Carpet. We have used them several times.
Nancy Herman
