Magarian Rug is a North Shore rug and carpet business with two showrooms, Marblehead and Danvers, that sells, custom-fabricates and installs area rugs, wall-to-wall carpeting and stair runners, cleans rugs, and runs a trade program for designers and architects. The company says it's been "part of the North Shore story for many years," with roots connecting to Marblehead, Danvers, Salisbury and Salem. Fifteen Google reviews spanning 2022 to July 2026 run almost entirely five stars (Google separately shows 4.8 from 25 ratings), and the same staff names keep showing up across both locations — Cori, Nate, Lynn, Wayne — described as knowledgeable and easy to work with. The standout thread is restoration work on cherished pieces: a February 2026 review described a nearly 60-year-old Turkish carpet cleaned and returned "simply wow," a January 2025 review told of a Persian rug given as a 1985 wedding gift that Lynn hand-stitched back to life after a decade in the basement, and a 2024 review described a silk-blend rug "completely restored." Installers are called out repeatedly as professional and quick, and more than one reviewer specifically praised a stair runner or a custom-cut rug fit to an odd-sized room. The one dip in an otherwise five-star run is a 2022 review noting a delivery issue that Wayne stepped in to resolve directly, which the reviewer said they appreciated. BBB gives the company — listed there as Magarian Rug Cleaning Co, at the same Marblehead address — an A+ with no complaints on file, though it isn't BBB-accredited. A solid pick whether you're shopping off the showroom floor, need a rug custom-cut to a tricky space, or have an heirloom piece worth saving rather than replacing.

A+. Went into Magarian Rugs in Marblehead to purchase an area rug and staircase runner. Cori, the sales person I worked with was knowledgeable and helpful. The rugs are extremely high quality and durable. The installers were detail oriented and professionals. Overall a great business and lightyears better than purchasing rugs at a big box store or online. Thank you!
Wow, Simply Wow! We had an almost 60-year old Turkish carpet that we wanted cleaned and after doing my online research, we decided to entrust Magarian with the care and cleaning of this heirloom carpet. We got a quote which was reasonable for the elaborate cleaning process that would be used to clean the carpet and we chose to bring in the carpet and then have it delivered once cleaned. Magarian delivered a beautiful clean carpet and offered to cut the fringes to a more manageable length, which turned out to be a great suggestion. We then decided to buy a padding to add to the comfort and that, too, was a solid decision that we have now seen is not just beneficial but feels so nice when walking on the carpet. I would highly recommend using Magarian for your rug cleaning needs, especially when you have valuable carpets that need expert care. But wait, that’s not all! We were working with Marcus who has turned out to be the most amazing and wonderful person you could hope to meet. We were in the process of moving to a new home and cautiously asked about the availability and cost of carpeting. We did not have a lot of money left for anything, after factoring the cost of closing on the house and the cost of the actual move. Marcus was so great at learning about our needs and tastes and found several different options for us and made the most tasteful recommendations. We did not have the designer “eye” to see the bigger picture and Marcus offered to come to the house to take measurements and offer his expert advice for placement of the carpets. We could not have done any of this without his guidance and designer experience. It was evident from the first minute we spoke that Marcus is passionate and cares about making his customers happy. Today Marcus and the Magarian crew came to deliver the carpets and every recommendation and choice we made turned out to be even better than we could have hoped for. The installation crew was polite, professional, friendly, respectful of our floors, and they clearly know what they are doing. In short order they brought in the carpets, laid out the padding, and placed the carpets with great precision where we wanted them. The workmanship of the team that cut the carpets to size and bound the edges is outstanding. Even the carpet with patterns was cut so all sides are even and match perfectly. And you could tell that everyone takes pride in what they do and they want the customer to be not just satisfied, but happy with their purchase and choice of carpets. We cannot say enough good things about everyone we have dealt with at Magarian. The cost of all the carpets we purchased was competitive and you will not find a better team to help you with your carpet needs. Other stores will sell you a carpet, but here we got expert advice and design service in one stop. Our home now looks beautiful, warm and inviting, with classy and tasteful carpet choices that Marcus helped us pick out. A Class Act all the way around. Thank you Team Magarian and thank you, Marcus!
Worked with Nate and Sam, purchased rugs from them and they came in a timely basis and the carpet was great. Very efficient and I loved them. I would recommend Magarian Rug Danvers to anyone.
Nate and Brian out of Danvers were super informative, kind, and their price was very good. We love our rugs and plan to return for our next project.
Magarian has supplied every rug in my new house. The staff is so helpful and friendly. Not only do they have beautiful inventory, they have a large selection of remnant pieces at an affordable price. They also offer rug cleaning solutions that are exceptional. I will always use them for any of my rug needs. My frenchie loves our new kitchen runners.
