Exploring Life & Business with Marat Shestakov of Carpet Couch Cleaning LLC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Marat Shestakov

Hi Marat, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
The Journey of Starting My Carpet, Upholstery, and Mobile Car Detailing Business in Denver, Colorado

When I first started my business cleaning carpets, upholstery, and offering mobile car detailing in Denver, Colorado, I had very little: just a small extractor and my personal SUV. I would drive from one client to another with this modest equipment, doing my best to deliver great results every time.

In the beginning, it was tough. There was sometimes a lot of work,sometimes so
less, but very little time, and our financial resources were limited. My wife stepped in to help — on her days off, she would assist me with car cleaning to make the process faster and more efficient. She also handled customer calls and bookings. We worked as a team, supporting each other every step of the way.

Running a small business wasn’t easy. There were bills to pay and expensive equipment to purchase. But as we had just recently moved to the United States, our credit score wasn’t high enough and sttong to secure good loans for the equipment we needed. Despite the challenges, we believed that hard work would eventually pay off.

Now, nearly two years later, we’re seeing the results of our efforts. We have a few employees, a van equipped with truck-mounted professional gear, a great website, and, most importantly, loyal clients who keep coming back. Each returning customer is a reminder of how far we’ve come and why we do what we do.

This journey wasn’t easy, but it taught us that hard work, family support, and faith in yourself can overcome any obstacles. We are grateful to God for helping us navigate this path and look forward to continuing to grow our business.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The road to building our business has been far from smooth. In the beginning, we faced countless challenges, both expected and unexpected. Starting with just a small extractor vacuum and our personal SUV, we had to work tirelessly to earn the trust of our customers and establish ourselves in a competitive market. My wife and I worked side by side, often late into the night or on weekends, cleaning cars and taking calls to ensure we delivered quality and reliability.

Financial limitations were another hurdle. As recent immigrants to the United States, our credit score was still developing, making it difficult to secure loans for the professional equipment we needed. Every investment came with careful consideration, and every dollar had to be stretched to its fullest potential.

Unfortunately, the challenges didn’t stop there. As we began to grow and gain a loyal customer base, we encountered competition in the most unexpected ways. There were attempts to undermine our progress: we received fake calls meant to waste our time, and even experienced deliberate attacks on our website that temporarily brought it down. These moments tested not only our resolve but also our faith in the fairness of business.

Yet, through all these struggles, we never wavered in our commitment to our work and to our clients. Each obstacle became a lesson, a stepping stone toward building a stronger foundation for our business. Today, as we reflect on our journey, we’re proud of how far we’ve come — from those humble beginnings with one small machine to having a dedicated team, a van equipped with state-of-the-art truck-mounted equipment, and a community of loyal customers who believe in us.

Challenges will always be a part of any journey, but they’ve only made us more determined to continue growing, improving, and offering the best service we can.

What do you like and dislike about the city?
What we love most about Denver, Arvada, and the beautiful state of Colorado are the people. The residents here are friendly, welcoming, and incredibly supportive of small businesses like ours. Their sense of community and connection is truly inspiring and motivates us to deliver our very best every day.

Of course, Colorado’s breathtaking natural beauty is another thing we adore.

Whether it’s a hike in the Rockies or a quiet moment by the water, the nature surrounding us is a constant source of inspiration and gratitude.

As for what we like least, it’s hard to point to anything specific. However, one thing that deeply concerns us is the growing issue of litter and waste affecting our environment. It’s disheartening to see our planet, and the natural beauty around us, harmed by pollution. That’s why we actively support environmental initiatives, including donating to organizations focused on protecting the oceans and reducing waste.
