Todd from First Serve quoted me $2500 to clean my flooded basement. The flooded basement water had already receded by the time they started the job. However, they had to dry the wood stubs in the property and clean the basement. After the work, the company hit me with a surprising $3057 which is about 25% higher charge than what he had earlier quoted. He charged me additionally for cleaning the basement floor when that's already part of his job in the first place. This invoicing is completely unfair with inflated costs. In addition, they are threatening to lien my property and do a foreclosure of my property. This is complete corporate extortion. Please STAY AWAY from these company! The company also charged with a labor when clearly
Description of Work: Dry basement due to sum pump failure. The water in the basement already receded. There was no carpet Very minimal wood stubs. That was a very high price but i had to go with it due to urgent circumstances.

Thank you so much to Solomon and Mark. They were awesome. If you haven’t used this company. you are missing out. Todd and Glen have been doing my house and restaurants for years. They are all awesome but I would be foolish to forget the most accommodating and kind member of the team. Angie!! Ty First Serv

I was very happy with the service Glenn and Mark provided to clean my mattress and living room carpet. They were quick, professional, and friendly. I just happened to call at a lucky time, and Todd was able to send them over right away, so the swiftness was definitely a perk!
Description of Work: I needed a mattress cleaned to handle a pet stain. Because part of the fee was for coming out to the house and included up to three rooms, I also went ahead and had my living room carpet cleaned (since it needed cleaning anyway).

Todd and his crew performed the job as desired. There was a extenuating circumstance during job and his services were extended. However because of this situation, his customer service was truly lacking. The invoiced price for the work was above the insurance estimate and had to be renegotiated. Todd also provided unsound advice in regards to the insurance claim, which caused a delay in the settlement. During the extended insurance process, while awaiting final settlement Todd became unprofessional, threatening a mechanics lien despite receiving ~1/2 of the amount owed.
Description of Work: I had a sump pump fail in an unfinished basement. Todd and his crew performed the drying and dehumidification of the basement.

Response from First Serve Cleaning & Restoration
I was hired by the property manager to dry out the basement. We started the job on a Saturday. Once the tenant's moving company removed all the content the process went very smooth. The adjuster met the property manager on site and was in agreement with our process. On the last night of the job the basement re flooded and we had to extend our services a few more days. There was some debate between the owner and the property manager about who was responsible for the second flood. When the property manager sent the plumber out to replace the pump there was several inches of water in the basement. The new pump failed a few days later because debris clogged the propeller. The owner was not understanding of why the plumber did not clean out the pit. The owner was hoping the insurance company would cover the second flood under the claim but we communicated that this was two separate events and that he would be responsible for two deductibles. I've been doing this work a long time and have heard all kinds of horror stories from customers so I suggested to be careful submitting a second claim back to back because the insurance company could consider you high risk and drop him as a customer. I said this knowing that he had shingles missing from the roof (this was the "unsound advise" that we provided- we actually consider it wisdom to consider all the options before making a rash decision) We normally work directly with the insurance company to settle the claim and usually there is some negotiation involved. It was a couple weeks before we were able to submit the invoices for payment and we sent a copy of the invoices to the owner and the property manager. From there the owner dealt with the adjuster. I was able to make contact with the adjuster once she returned from vacation. As a part of the negotiations we settled by discounting our services by roughly $70. It is normal to negotiate a claim. Why did we mention a mechanics lien? The property manager paid the second flood in full while they discussed who was responsible and if the owner would submit a second claim. The delay was because the owner waited to submit the second claim. Meanwhile, when the first claim was paid directly to the owner, he took part of that money and paid the property manager for services leaving us outstanding for the larger portion of the claim. This was a red flag for us because we also knew the relationship between the owner and property manager was ending and the house was going on the market to be sold. As a contractor, if I feel that payment is being held and my recourse options are limited by the sale of the house then I have to protect our interest. Keep in mind we never asked for money up front to start the work as most companies do and we did not ask for any money on the last day of the job. This is a very unfortunate transaction, one that neither of us would want to repeat. We are in good standings with Angie's List as you can see. Sometimes it's just best to move on.

They did an excellent job. One thing I remember about this company is, we needed them at the last minute and they were Johnny-on-the-spot. The moved some things around and they were able to get to it. So that was awesome.

It went great! From start to finish, Todd was easy to communicate with and always responded quickly and professionally with any questions I had. (Which was a lot!) We were moving out of a rental and the carpet was very old and had a lot of stains. He was able to make the carpets look almost brand new and was able to remove most of the stains including red stains! Will definitely use this company in the future and will happily recommend to everyone!

great! wanted to get done to clean up for my soon-to-be crawling baby girl. scheduled apt very easily, crew called ~30 min before apt letting know would be about 15 minutes late due to traffic which was fine. once there they did there work professionally, took extra time to clean some deeper stains and gave the best price possible for adding on services to the deal. Overall very good experience and would recommend without hesitation. Carpets look significantly better (builder grade crap carpet to begin with so didn't expect them to look new again) and their process uses a detergent but no lasting chemical feel afterwards just a light citrus scent until it dried (~12 hours w/ use of A/C, fans and dehumidifiers).

They came out promptly and provided an Extra Cleaning on the troubled spots and they are GONE NOW. They even treated the whole hallway along with the spots and again at NO charge. Their customer service and follow up is spectacular and I would definitely use them again and would highly recommend their services because they understand customer service and were not happy with the results until I was... KUDOS!
Description of Work: We had them clean our carpet in July, but I had a puppy who was not house trained and did leave some marks in the hallway. The company provided an extra cleaning on those spots, but after about one month, they did seem to show through again. The company offered to come back and extra-clean the spots again AT NO CHARGE.

My carpet was cleaned by First Serve Carpet Care. They arrived on time and began to work quickly. I was asked what rooms needed to be done. They removed the furniture that was in the way with no complaints at all. When the work was done, the carpets looked very good! I would use this company again and recommend them as well! Thanks, Yvonne?
