    • " My rugs had been gathering dust and dirt for ages, and suffered from  fringe damage and unraveling.  I finally decided to do something about it, and did an Internet search.  I was thrilled to discover Kosker Traditional Rug [Repair], right here in Brooklyn, and happier yet to find out that Mr. Kosker made house calls, provided estimates, and delivered the goods when completed.  I thought the service was wonderful - the estimates were very professionally done and the quality of the work was superb.  I was truly impressed with Mr. Kosker's knowledge of the different origins and value of my rugs.  He was a treasure trove of knowledge! I will definitely have my rugs cleaned here again, and repaired if they need it, and highly recommend Kosker to anyone whose rugs are in need of tender loving care. "

    • "Atilla, you've been a fountain of youth for my big, old living room rug.  Your work is extraordinary.  Colors glow again, pile is soft and deep.  The fringe binding you wove calls no attention to itself, but it's 9' of the finest stiching and a thing of beauty.  I feel as I did years ago, that I have a work of art on my floor.  Many, many thanks for your expertise, from pick up to delivery."

    • "I have known Atilla Kosker for ten years and have bought several Turkish kilims and rugs from him.  In addition to helping me make these wonderful purchases, Atilla has fixed several rugs for both me and my family.  Recently, he restored a kilim that had been damaged by my dog.  I thought it was totally unsalvagable, but Atilla managed to fix it as though nothing had ever happened to it!  What he does is incredibly difficult and I marvel at how easy he makes his projects look.  He is a true artist!"

    • "I have known Atilla Kosker for over five years because I am a resident of Park Slope, Brooklyn, and Atilla had a wonderful rug store in Park Slope for a number of years.  I bought one beautiful Turkish rug from Atilla and I had an antique Turkish rug repaired by him.  The antique had been in my family for many decades and was in need of serious repair.  Atilla did a beautiful job repairing the rug for a very reasonable price.  He also helped me to appreciate how special this family heirloom is.

      I have dealt with rug dealers at [excerpted] and at several other rug stores in Manhattan and also with rug dealers in Siena, Italy and I have never met anyone who comes close to matching Atilla in terms of knowledge and appreciation of Turkish rugs.  Turkish rugs are in Atilla's blood and I have always trusted him and his knowledge about them.  I have never been disappointed.  If I ever needed to have a valuable rug repaired, Atilla is the only person I would entrust it to."

    • "I have dealt with several oriental rug cleaner companies in the past and have never experienced such satisfaction as I have with Atilla.  He took into consideration how important my rugs are to me and made me feel at peace for choosing him to make my rugs appear as new again.  He was not only attentive, but also extremely knowledgeable about Oriental rug history and art.  He is definitely my go to for any future rug purchases and cleaning.   He is a professional at running his business and an expert of Oriental rugs.  Not to mention, he is a trustworthy and great guy.  Overall, the experience of getting my rug cleaned with Atilla was excellent and I will definitely be working with him again in the future."

    • "I inherited a beautiful Persian carpet from my grandfather and was worried about how to clean it and repair it.  It may not be worth a lot but to me it's priceless.  Atilla calmed my fears and told me exactly what I needed to do so that I can use it and maybe pass it on to my own kids.  I was very impressed by his knowledge, his obvious love for what he does and his company's great service.   I hope to work with Atilla again in the future."

    • "I rarely feel the desire to write testimonials but ... wanted to write to tell you what a pleasure it was working with you to have my kilim restored.  Every step of the process, from the first contact with you, was handled in a highly professional and service oriented manner.  You explained the options I had for restoration, maintained contact through the entire process and eventually returned a rug that had been quite damaged to almost pristine condition.  I am very impressed by your craftsmanship and even more so by the way you conduct your business.  I cannot think of any way you can improve your exceptional and extraordinary service.  I would look forward to using your services again."

    • "I purchased a rug from Atilla and had several antique Turkish rugs repaired by him.  It is a rarity these days to find some one who has such passion for their work.  Atilla obviously loves what he does and is carrying out a tradition that could be lost forever.  The work done on my rugs was impeccable, the fringes and edges were rewoven to match perfectly.  Atilla was extremely knowledgeable about the rugs and his prices very reasonable.  He picked up and delivered the rugs exactly on schedule.  He is a very trustworthy and delightful person.  I would highly recommend his services."

    • "Thank you so much for repairing our cherished rug.  My husband and I were very upset that it was damaged during cleaning by another company that purports to be an 'expert'.  That other company was clearly were [sic] not an expert in handling a fine woven rug and badly damaged the edges of the rug.  We are so grateful to Kosker for your beautiful work on our rug.  The repair is invisible and the cost was exactly what was quoted.  Thanks to you our rug is perfect once again."

      A. Nicolas, New York,  NY / Rug Care Provided:  Oriental Rug Restoration

    • "Kosker Traditional Rug Repair was an amazing company to work with.  They were prompt, reliable and experts in every way.  Whenever they said they would come for estimates and pick-up they did.  They also worked with me, taught me all about my rugs, and about the ins and outs of owning hand-woven rugs.  They went through all of the options involved in fixing my rugs and worked with me until I was completely satisfied.  They were an amazing, stress-free company to work with and I would use them again!"

    • "My husband and I purchased a beautiful soumak on a recent trip to Turkey.  We have a young dog and did not intend to put the rug down permanently yet but we just had to see how it looked in our house.  Unfortunately, in just a matter of minutes, our young dog showed her speed and good taste by chewing away at one of the corners of the carpet.

      We were so lucky to find Kosker Traditional Rug Repair.  Thanks to their skilled work, our rug looks like new again.  They were able to match the colors perfectly.  Their service was professional, helpful, and friendly every step of the process.  They were more than willing to answer any questions.  The price was fair and as quoted.

      We greatly appreciate the work they did and would highly recommend their services."

    • "My mother lived in Turkey for 14 years and I've acquired several carpets and kilims from my visits.  I'd put off having them cleaned and then was lucky to find Kosker Traditional Rug Repair online.  I recently had four carpets cleaned, and one of them repaired by Kosker and am delighted with the results.  They pick up and drop off the rugs, are wonderfully knowledgeable, very reasonable... the service is perfect.  I am so glad that they are here to help me care for my rugs.  I am going to have the rest of them cleaned, and look forward to always having them clean and in good condition.  Thank you!"

    • "Having found Kosker Traditional Rug Repair online I was happy to learn that they would travel out to Suffolk County ... to pick up and deliver my rug.  The last time I had my rug cleaned it was done by a company that was not knowledgeable about cleaning handmade rugs.  The cleaning process left a residue.  Now that Kosker has cleaned my rug it looks and feels beautiful again.  The colors are vibrant and it is soft to the touch.  It was a pleasure to deal with Mr. Attila [sic] Kosker.  He is knowledgeable, courteous and prompt.  He explained the process that he uses to clean the rugs and returned my rugs when promised.  It was a pleasure to deal with a company that takes pride in its work.  Many thanks."

    • "I recently had two long neglected rugs cleaned by Kosker and am very happy with the results.  Stains that I thought would never come out are gone and the rugs look beautiful.  Atilla came to the apartment to give an estimate along with a lot of information about the origin and age of my rugs as well as how to care for them.  He also advised me that a fringe repair was not necessary when he quite easily could have sold me on it.  Rather, he told me exactly what to watch for to know when and if I should have the repair done.  I highly recommend Kosker if you have fine rugs and you want to be sure that they are cared for properly."

      Erin Brienza, Brooklyn,  NY /  Rug Care Provided:  Oriental Rug Cleaning

    • "Thank you, Kosker Rug Repair ... 25 years of  [rug] wear have disappeared.  The bare spots have been repaired so seamlessly, with such perfect color-matching, that I can no longer figure out where they were.  ... And the cleaning was wonderful, too.  A large part of our rug is an almost-white color, which of course showed the usual evidence of life in a busy living room ...  This evening a friend came by and said it looked like a brand new rug.  The stains are gone, the colors are beautiful, the white is white, and  the fringe loks cleaner than when we bought the rug.  ..."
