What The Carpet Workroom And Reclamation Center Inc does

The Carpet Workroom And Reclamation Center Inc is a family-owned, Massachusetts-based flooring company founded in 2011 by Peter Lovetere after three decades in the carpet trade. The firm designs, fabricates, and installs custom area rugs, stair runners, wall-to-wall carpet, and alternative hard-surface flooring (LVT, hardwood) for residential and trade customers, and ships custom fabrications nationwide for clients outside the Northeast. Operations are anchored by two showrooms — the elevated Newton Carpet Gallery in Newton, MA (relocated from the original Needham location in June 2025) and the Stoughton workroom that also houses the Remnant Room — supported by CFI-certified installers and master fabricators.

The company's underlying technology is craft-based rather than software-native: proprietary seaming expertise spanning hand-sewn seams with latex sealer, butt seams for flat-woven goods, and hot-melt seaming using Kool Glide microwave-activated thermoplastic tape; advanced pattern-matching and measurement for complex staircases (turns, landings, pie shapes); and finishing options including narrow/wide cotton binding, serging yarn, leather, and linen edges. The firm also offers the Green Guard non-toxic stain protection treatment and an AI-powered rug visualization tool that helps customers preview custom rugs and runners in-room before purchase. A separate online storefront (nerugco.com / New England Rug Company) sells ready-made rugs and stair runners.

Revenue is generated through per-project unit pricing across five streams: carpet and rug material sales, custom fabrication services (cutting, binding, serging), professional installation, rug cleaning and repair, and a Trade Program offering preferred pricing to interior designers. Pricing is quote-based, requires a 60-75% deposit, and schedules installations 4-6 weeks out for in-stock materials. The customer base is overwhelmingly long-tail residential (homeowners in the Northeast) supplemented by an interior designer/trade channel and an out-of-region fabrication channel; the firm additionally pursues a sustainability positioning through carpet recycling, remnant repurposing, and a 2011-established reclamation initiative tied to the broader CARE (Carpet America Recovery Effort) industry effort.
