Meet Tim — owner, operator, the one who answers the phone.

Top Hat Carpet Cleaning is owner-led. One owner, one standard, every job.

The Owner

Tim Lazaris

Tim leads Top Hat Carpet Cleaning personally — he quotes the job, oversees the work, and answers the phone the next time you call. That personal touch is not a marketing line, it is how the business actually runs, and it is the part Tim is least willing to give up as the business grows.

Top Hat cleans with a low-moisture liquid dry cleaning method for most jobs — Tim’s own stated method and the reason rooms are walkable again in hours instead of a day or more — with hot or cool water extraction brought in for the traffic patterns and spills where deep-embedded soil calls for it. His positioning has always been simple: “Free estimates, and no hidden fees,” with “service exceeding all expectations, while maintaining the utmost respect for you and your property.”
