Nestled along Folsom Lake, Granite Bay offers a unique lifestyle that blends upscale living with the natural beauty of the Sierra foothills. Whether you are located in the gated communities of Los Lagos and Wexford, or the family-friendly neighborhoods of Douglas Ranch and Treelake, your home deserves care that matches its quality.

At Carter’s Carpet Restoration, we don’t just “clean floors”—we protect the investment you’ve made in your home. For over three decades, Dean and Karen Carter have provided Granite Bay residents with premium, eco-friendly cleaning services that are tough on dirt but safe for your children, pets, and luxury finishes.

Core Floor & Surface Care

Carpet Cleaning

Our signature Dry-Steam process is designed for busy Granite Bay households. We don’t just rinse your carpets; we restore them.

  • The Deep Clean: We use truck-mounted high-heat extraction to remove deep-seated allergens, sand, and dust that standard vacuums miss.
  • The Fast Dry: Because we use high-velocity suction, your carpets are left slightly damp, not soaking wet, and typically dry in hours—crucial for homes near the lake where humidity levels vary.

Tile & Grout Cleaning

Ceramic and porcelain tile floors are durable, but their grout lines act like a sponge for dirt and grease. In kitchens and bathrooms throughout Treelake and Douglas Ranch, mopping often pushes soil deeper rather than removing it.

  • The Process: We use a specialized high-pressure steam tool that flushes out embedded grime from the grout lines while containing all the water.
  • The Result: This restores the original grout color and leaves your floors truly sanitary, removing the bacteria that regular mopping leaves behind.

Stone Cleaning & Sealing

Luxury homes in Granite Bay Hills and Los Lagos often feature natural stone like Travertine, Slate, and Marble. These porous stones are sensitive to acidic store-bought cleaners and require expert handling.

  • Safe Restoration: We use pH-balanced solutions to gently lift dirt from the stone’s pores without etching or damaging the finish.
  • Protective Sealing: Once clean, we apply a professional-grade penetrating sealer. This protects your investment against future wine spills, oil splatters, and moisture damage.

Wood Floor Cleaning in Granite Bay

Hardwood floors in Granite Bay homes deserve expert care. Our wood floor cleaning in Granite Bay gently lifts wax, dirt, and residue without stripping the existing finish. It enhances natural beauty and extends the life of floors in high-traffic areas.

Luxury Vinyl (LVP / LVT) Cleaning

Modern luxury vinyl is popular in renovated Granite Bay homes, but it still traps dirt in its texture. We gently remove scuffs, dirt, and chemical residue while protecting the delicate “wear layer” that gives the floor its durability and sheen.

Fine Fabric & Area Rug Care

Area Rug Cleaning (In-Home & In-Shop)

We understand that an area rug is often the centerpiece of a room. We offer two distinct cleaning methods to ensure the best results based on the rug’s material:

  • In-Home Cleaning: Ideal for synthetic rugs or durable materials, we use our standard hot-water extraction process right in your home. It is fast, convenient, and effective for general maintenance.
  • In-Shop Specialist Cleaning: For oriental, wool, silk, and other delicate natural fibers, we recommend our off-site deep clean. You can drop off your rug at our El Dorado Hills location, or we can arrange pick-up. We carefully clean, dry, and detail the rug over 10–14 days. We can also wrap and package rugs for long-term storage during remodels.

Upholstery Cleaning

From microfiber sectionals to elegant formal seating, we clean all fabric types safely. We remove surface soil and allergens, helping restore comfort and appearance across Granite Bay living room and family room furniture without over-wetting the fabric.

Restoration & Repairs

Pet Stain & Odor Removal

We know that even the most well-behaved pets have accidents. Simply masking odors isn’t enough. We use specialized enzyme treatments that break down urine crystals at the source—the carpet padding—to permanently remove odors rather than just covering them up with perfume.

Carpet Stretching

If you see ripples, waves, or “bubbles” in your carpet, it can be a tripping hazard. We use power-stretching tools to tighten the carpet back to its original tension, smoothing out the room and extending the carpet’s lifespan significantly.

Expert Carpet Repairs

Don’t replace a whole room of carpet just because of one burn mark, bleach spot, or pet tear. Our technicians are skilled in precision bonding repairs (patching) that blend seamlessly with the surrounding fiber, saving you the cost of full replacement.

Grout Color Restoration & Sealing

For a refreshed look, our grout color restoration offers updated color options and sealing for tiled surfaces. We help brighten kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways while protecting grout from staining and wear.

Shower Surface Cleaning

Hard water from the Sierra foothills can leave stubborn mineral deposits on glass doors and shower tiles. We remove soap scum, mildew, and calcium buildup from tile, stone, and glass, making your bathrooms sparkle like new again.

Commercial Cleaning Services

We also serve local businesses, offices, and retail spaces in the Granite Bay area. We work around your operating hours to deliver professional-grade carpet and tile cleaning that maintains a welcoming environment for your clients.

The Carter’s Difference: Our 5-Step Process

We don’t cut corners. Here is exactly what we do when we arrive at your home:

  1. Pre-Inspection: We walk the rooms with you to identify specific stains (wine, pet issues, ink) and check the fiber type.
  2. Dry Soil Removal: We thoroughly vacuum to remove dry grit—a step many budget cleaners skip.
  3. Pre-Treatment: We apply a safe, eco-friendly conditioning agent to break down traffic lane oils.
  4. Hot Water Extraction: Using our truck-mounted system, we rinse the carpet with soft water at high temperatures, extracting both the dirt and the cleaning solution.
  5. Speed Drying: We use high-velocity air movers to jumpstart the drying process before we leave.

Meeting the Unique Needs of Granite Bay Homes

Living in the foothills presents unique cleaning challenges that we are uniquely equipped to handle:

  • Red Clay & Soil: The soil in Placer County is rich in iron (red clay), which can permanently stain light-colored carpets if not treated correctly. Our technicians carry specific neutralizing agents to handle “foothill mud.”
  • Septic Safe: Many properties in Granite Bay operate on septic systems. You can rest assured that our cleaning solutions are biodegradable and 100% septic-safe.
  • Lake Humidity: Homes closer to Folsom Lake require powerful extraction to ensure carpets don’t smell musty. Our truck-mounted vacuums are strong enough to pull 95% of moisture out immediately.
