I have used Gerlach for years and recently tried another company with poor results, so I am back to Gerlach for good. I recently got 2 puppies and I think their "accidents" had soaked into the pads, leaving a smell. My whole house smells great now and of course, any residual stains are gone. I thought the price was reasonable and it includes 50% off any cleanings for the next year which I thought was a great deal (especially with 3 dogs).
Description of Work: Cleaned, deodorized & protected a hall & a great room. Also cleaned a cushion for free.

Great! The gentleman I spoke to over the phone provided me with an abundance of information on the services and answered all my questions. I was given a time when the techs would arrive and I was called when they were on their way as well. I was really impressed by the experience and professionalism of the men who were here. They did an excellent job and ensured I was 100% satisfied before they asked me to pay. I am now enrolled in a really great money saving program they offer for future cleanings for carpets and other services too!
Description of Work: Cleaned carpets in 4 rooms plus a hallwall and stairs and applied a protective spray to prevent future stains.

Andrew and Chris did an excellent job. They took special care to treat some bad spots and seemed to take real pride in their work; they were very professional and personable. They arrived here on time and completed the work very quickly. These same techs cleaned last year; I appreciate the stability in the workforce.

They are very professional and the job they do is great. They are a little expensive, but I have them come in spite of the price. They send out information about how to take care of stains and little things to keep track of their customers. They don't try to sell me extra things when they come out and they are efficient but do not rush.
Description of Work: They came out when I called them and they cleaned the carpets in my whole house.

They are expensive, but they are the best. They always clean our carpets for us. Other companies are not as thorough and fresh and Gerlach. Their work lasts almost for a year. I could tell you, because we have asthma and so we can tell with the dust. They have a chemical that cleans dust mites, it smells citrus but the smell goes away, it's time release so it lasts a year and kills dust mites. No other company carpet cleaner has that that I know of.
Description of Work: They do carpet cleaning, showers, and duct cleaning.

The young men arrived on time, moved furniture, made sure that they cleaned the right areas, and did spot treatments on several areas. The carpet was heavily soiled, and several major spots on it. I was very impressed with the speed that they moved and how quickly they did the job. I was also very appreciative of the fact that while they were fast, they also took the time to do the job right. Very knowledgeable about what they were doing and very pleasant to deal with. This is a company that I will definitely use again and one that I would recommend to any of my family and friends.

Gerlach's workers showed up promptly at 8am, and the job was complete by 10am. Immediately after the cleaning, the spots were gone, and the general appearance of the improved about as much as expected.
Description of Work: Cleaned the very light colored carpeting on the first floor (555 sq ft), steps (11) and couches (3) using low-VOC chemicals. The carpet had a few minor spots.

We moved most of the furniture but they did move some of the larger items. There was one place on the couch that they did stain treatment. They also scotchgaurded the carpet. They called before they arrived to let us know they would be there soon and showed up on time. They were friendly and professional. We would use them again for future services.
Description of Work: They cleaned the carpets in the living room and also cleaned two couches and a chair. We have used them previously.

Serviced carpet per expectations. Very satisfied.
Description of Work: Following having three dogs in the house over the holidays, needed to have some problem spots touched up. Called Gerlach just after 8:00am. Turned out that crew already had job near by, so were able to be here by 11:20. Cleaned the family room, upper hallway and two front foyer entrance rugs and were done and out by 11:55. As always, crew was very friendly, helpful, and appear to have done a nice job once again. Plus, they've been here before as they remembered the house. It helped that I already had most of the family room furniture moved aside and out of the way. Not necessary, but I wanted to sweep the carpet in advance.

I spilled at least one quart of dark tan paint on my winter white carpet. I called Gerlach at 5:00pm, and Andy said someone could come out the following morning. He said to soak up as much paint as possible with paper towels and then cover the paint area with wet, white towels to keep the paint from drying overnight. (I first used my VAX canister carpet cleaner to wet the carpet and suction up as much paint as possible - for two hours.) The next morning the Gerlach crew arrived and went to work. To my surprise, the paint is 98% gone. I'm sure part of the reason is because I immediately began to suction up the paint with the VAX, but VERY MUCH paint color remained in the carpet when I was done. I would never have been able to remove all the paint like Gerlach did. Oh - the carpet where the spill was is just as soft as the rest of the carpet, and it looks so good that I won't have to replace the carpet. Thank you Gerlach!

I have used them for 20 years or more and they have always done a great job steam cleaning my carpets. They are very good and also take special care to wear booties on their feet to keep the floors clean. They always leave a bottle of spot cleaner and bootie for me, which is nice. I think they do an excellent job and I give them A's across the board!

I called to set an appointment which they accommodated very well. They said they would arrive between 9 am-11 am and they arrived at 10:30 am. The work took about an hour. The workers were efficient, friendly and clean. We had a stain containing red dye #40 which they were unable to clean. I'm told only carpet dying can fix that problem. They put things back where they found them, placed protectors under the furniture and raked the carpet before leaving.

Supposed to call us when they were on their way over. Never called. Indicated their competitors would immediately treat the carpet with cleaning solution without vacuuming up any loose dirt, thereby creating a muck / mud that would lead to other problems. But their technicians DID NOT pre-vacuum any of the carpet in our home. We inquired about the pre-vacuuming a couple days later and were told that it really wasn't a problem. So either they use it as a marketing tool and there's no truth to it or we have the muck / mud in our carpet because they didn't do what was promised. They sent another crew a few days later (after all furniture was in) but we're still left with unclean and stained carpet. Tile/grout cleaning didn't live up to their promises either. Later we were told that, "sometimes the chemicals just can't do the job." Their solution was a $33.30 refund (cost to clean 1 room). We expressed our dissatisfaction in a letter to the owner (9/18/06) and never received a response.
Description of Work: We had purchased a 12 year old home and made arrangements to have all the carpets cleaned and the tile & grout in the master bath cleaned after closing but prior to us moving into the home. We elected to hire Gerlach based upon their reputation, the information provided on their website, and the information provided by Gerlach representatives over the phone. We understood that they were the most expensive, but we're willing to pay for better service. We feel they misrepresented the quality of their services. Their website indicates "THE MOST THOROUGH CARPET CLEANING EVER OR IT'S FREE!" but that's now how our issues were handled. There are other issues that we don't have space to address below.

Response from Gerlach Steam Cleaning Inc
THE MEMBER CLAIMS THE FOLLOWING: HER CARPETS WERE NEVER VACUUMED, OUR TILE & GROUT SOLUTIONS CAN'T DO THE JOB & SHE HAS STAINED CARPET. THE FACTS: ON 7-31-06 WE CLEANED ALL HER CARPETS AND TILE & GROUT. SHE CALLED & SAID SHE DIDN'T SEE OUR TECHNICIANS VACUUMING AND HAD CONCERNS ABOUT STAINS. WE RETURNED 8-16-06 & PRE-VACUUMED HER ENTIRE HOME AND RE-CLEANED ALL OF HER CARPET AND TILE AND GROUT. ON THIS VISIT WE POINTED OUT THAT THERE WERE SMALL PIECES OF GROUT MISSING CAUSED BY PREVIOUS OWNERS AND IT WAS NOT STAINED. THE STAINS IN FAMILY ROOM CARPET WERE WORKED ON, BUT ARE UNKNOWN STAINS LEFT BY THE PREVIOUS OWNERS AND THEY WILL NOT COME OUT. AGAIN THE MEMBER CALLS AND WANTS HER FAMILY ROOM STAINS CLEANED. I PERSONALLY CAME OUT AND THE ONLY ISSUE SHE HAD WERE THE CARPET STAINS. ON 8-18-06 WE WENT BACK AGAIN TO WORK ON STAINS-BUT THEY ARE PERMANENT. SHE CALLED AGAIN AND SAID THE STAINS ARE STILL THERE-AGAIN I PERSONALLY WENT OUT AND HER ONLY CONCERN WERE THE CARPET STAINS (NOTHING MORE ABOUT THE PRE-VACUUMING OR THE GROUT). SO ON 8-25-06 WE TRIED TO REMOVE THE STAINS AGAIN (AND AGAIN NO OTHER ISSUES WERE BROUGHT UP). SINCE THESE UNKNOWN STAINS ARE PERMANENT, I REFUNDED THE ENTIRE COST OF THE FAMILY ROOM. WITH 4 TRIPS TO HER HOUSE AND REFUNDING THE COST OF THE FAMILY ROOM, I FEEL WE DID EVERYTHING WE COULD. I DO FIND IT CURIOUS THAT SHE POSTED THIS 9 MONTHS AFTER THE SERVICE. I KNOW OF NO OTHER SERVICE COMPANY THAT WOULD MAKE 4 RETURN TRIPS AND REFUND HER MONEY. ANDY GERLACH

Went fine. They really made the shower look better. The floor looks worse to my eye, splotchy in places, over-scraped grout in places, and under-scrubbed in other places. They missed one area entirely until we pointed it out. Hopefully that was the only one.

It was a bit of a disaster. They had a miscommunication about the appointment time, so they showed up 2 hours later than the end of the 2 hour window they'd given us. Their equipment broke down, apparently due to the cold weather, causing dirty water to pour out all over our floor. They had to send out another truck, so they were here a total of 3 hours instead of 1-1.5. They didn't have enough corner guards, so some walls got scraped by their hose. Carpet in general was cleaned well, though not all stains were able to be removed. After we complained, Andrew gave us a small discount on the next job.

WE MUST HAVE PUT IN THE WRONG TIME FRAME IN OUR SYSTEM WHEN THE MEMBERS SET UP THE APPOINTMENT. HOWEVER, WE DID ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND GAVE THEM A $50 DISCOUNT FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. THIS WAS A VERY COLD FEBRUARY DAY AND UNKNOWINGLY A PIECE OF OUR EQUIPMENT FROZE CAUSING THE LEAK ON THEIR CARPET. THIS IS OUR FAULT AND WE GOT ANOTHER CREW OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO FINISH THE JOB. THIS IS THE 1ST I HAVE HEARD OF ANY DAMAGE TO THEIR WALL AND I WILL CONTACT THEM TO OFFER TO REPAIR THE WALL. WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 30 YEARS AND STRIVE TO DO THE BEST WE CAN EVERY TIME. UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES EVEN THE BEST OF US "DROP THE BALL". WHEN YOU DO, IT'S HOW YOU REACT THAT SEPARATES YOU FROM THE COMPETITION. WE DID GIVE $50 OFF FOR BEING LATE AND I WILL PERSONALLY OFFER TO FIX THEIR WALL. ANDY GERLACH
