In South Florida, where salt air, sun, sand, and constant foot traffic are part of daily life, keeping interiors looking their best is no small task. Carpets fade faster, rugs wear harder, upholstery takes a beating, and stone surfaces show everything. That reality is exactly where Costikyan Carpet has carved out its place — not by cutting corners, but by doing the work the right way.
For more than five generations, Costikyan has built a reputation as one of the most knowledgeable and trusted names in the industry. Founded in 1886, the company has spent nearly 140 years mastering the care, supply, and installation of fine carpets, rugs, upholstery, and stone.
“We’ve been doing this a long time, but the fundamentals haven’t changed,” says Clarke Costikyan, CEO. “You have to understand the material in front of you, respect how it was made, and take responsibility for the outcome.”
MORE THAN CLEANING — COMPLETE CARE
Many people first encounter Costikyan through cleaning services, but the scope of their work goes far beyond that. The company specializes in carpet and rug cleaning, upholstery care, and marble and stone maintenance, using methods tailored to each surface rather than relying on generic processes.
“With rugs, especially fine or antique ones, there’s no room for guesswork,” Clarke explains. “Before anything is cleaned, we’re looking at the fiber, the dyes, the age, and the construction. That tells us how to treat it — and how not to.”
The same philosophy applies to upholstery and stone. Whether it’s a sofa in a family home, seating on a yacht, or marble floors exposed to constant use, Costikyan focuses on preserving integrity, not just appearance.
“Our goal isn’t to make something look good for a week,” Clarke says. “It’s to help it last.”
FROM SUPPLY TO INSTALLATION TO LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE
What truly separates Costikyan from others in the industry is that they don’t just maintain carpets — they supply them as well.
Costikyan works with the leading carpet manufacturers in the world, giving clients access to premium materials and expert guidance from the very beginning. From carpet selection and fabrication to professional installation and ongoing maintenance, every step is handled in-house.
“There really aren’t many companies left that do all of it,” Clarke notes. “We can help you choose the right carpet, install it properly, and then take care of it over time. That continuity makes a huge difference.”
Because Costikyan remains involved for the full lifecycle of a product, clients benefit from clear accountability and consistent standards — something designers, homeowners, and commercial clients increasingly value.
“When we install something, we’re invested in how it performs long-term,” Clarke adds. “We’re not walking away once the job is done.”
A LEADER IN THE SUPERYACHT WORLD
Costikyan’s expertise extends well beyond residential interiors. The company is widely recognized as a leader in servicing the su-peryacht community, working on some of the most sophisticated vessels in the world.
With an office located directly at Safe Harbor Rybovich, Cos-tikyan provides specialized carpet, upholstery, and interior care services designed specifically for marine environments.
“The marine world demands precision,” Clarke says. “You’re working with premium materials, tight timelines, and very high expectations. There’s no margin for error.”
That discipline influences every aspect of the business. The same attention to detail required aboard a superyacht carries over into residential and commercial projects throughout South Florida.
“The standard doesn’t change just because the setting does,” Clarke explains. “The work has to be right, every time.”
A LOCAL PRESENCE WITH DEEP ROOTS
While Costikyan’s name carries national and international recognition, their South Florida operations are deeply local. From their Boynton Beach facility, the company serves Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and surrounding communities with hands-on service and a personal approach.
“We’re working in people’s homes and spaces they care about,” Clarke says. “That’s something we never take lightly.”
Many clients bring in rugs that have been in their families for decades, or trust Costikyan with new installations that define how a space feels. Designers and builders rely on the company not just for execution, but for a long-term partnership.
“A lot of our relationships last for years, even generations,” Clarke notes. “That kind of trust means everything to us.”
WHY COSTIKYAN ENDURES
In an industry often focused on speed and surface results, Cos-tikyan has endured by emphasizing craftsmanship, accountability, and longevity.
“We’re not trying to be the fastest or the cheapest,” Clarke says. “We’re trying to do the work properly — and stand behind it.”
Whether cleaning a cherished rug, installing custom carpet, maintaining marble floors, or servicing a superyacht interior, Cos-tikyan brings the same level of care to every project.
After nearly 140 years, that approach still resonates — not because it’s flashy, but because it works. And in South Florida, Cos-tikyan Carpet remains a quiet constant for people who value quality, experience, and spaces that are meant to last.
