Needed a 12'x10' bedroom carpet cleaned for pet soiling. Called and discussed service offerings with local Chem-Dry franchise. Had a 20% coupon from their site. Was never told of fees or minimum charges as they are advised during consultation apparently. Tech showed on appointment date and advised of fee which was less than their minimum charge of $139 and coupon couldn't apply. I wasn't thrilled with that info but agreed for treatment. Only after I signed everything and paid by check did I notice their receipt stated a minimum charge is $119. There was no reason given on the $20 overcharge other than that's their new minimum. Is this legal? Onto service. Treatment resolved pet urine odor, but after 7 days the room still smells of chemicals and dirty water. The carpet is bleached in some areas so it's no longer an even beige. Stains still show under UV light. I complained immediately a few hours later via phone calls to business about questionable pricing, odor, and stains not removed when viewed under UV light. Business claimed they've increased their rates (again their receipt states $119 min charge so their business model of making up prices on site is a scam to me,) and the stains won't come out under UV light. Had I been advised of this and the fact the room would wreak for over a weak of chemicals and dirty water, I wouldn't have used their service. Their receipt has so many disclaimers I find that too to be a scam where they are absolved of any wrongdoing. Business offered to send their "master" technician to work on remaining stains but I fear he'll either create more bleached spots or use too much chemicals and the room will be inhospitable with foul odors. In response to owner's response to my original review, yes it was your company. Look at the invoice header pic. You cashed my check. I'm in your records from mid-December. A full refund WOULD be nice, but I'll be surprised if it shows up in my mailbox. I also submitted a complaint to the BBB, however the business took over 2 months to respond. Their comment to the BBB, 2 months has passed so they can't verify the damages because I probably did it. Nice hiding behind sleazy tactics. Let time pass to respond (why does a business need 2 months to respond to the BBB) and use it as an excuse against the credibility of the complaint. Might as well just add that to the dozens of disclaimers which occupy half of the invoice. My favorite part is that they claimed I could've caused the stains that I complained about. Well, here's a little factoid - I have on the wall of the bedroom a surveillance camera to monitor pet activity. I clearly have recorded on camera when the technician put too much chemical spray in the exact area of the stains. I do not have time to go to small claims court. All the business had to do was fess up that sometimes things happen and offer a good-will gesture of partial if not full reimbursement. The prior response from the owner was that I'm not in their database. Um, the BBB complaint clearly listed who I was and yes I AM in the database. "Buyer Beware" when using this company's service and remember they operate under numerous company names which also is a sleazy technique to gain more customers. If someone heard something bad about one company name, this company still has more opportunities to gain that person's business through the other company names. Pure ******. Surprised a side business isn't selling used cars.

"First our cleaning process does not bleach carpet or we would not haVe a 4.8 Google rating. We have offered to return to inspect his claim but were denied so we have no way to validate the claim or to attempt to correct any issues. We do not clean with dirty water and our process cannot do the damage claimed. We suspect that when we cleaned and removed the soiling from a spill it revealed that there was an underlying discoloration which we did not cause. We have made a good faith effort to resolve this and the BBB found in our favor but unfortunately he has refused to cooperate."

"We regret that you felt like we were "baiting and switching" but that is not the case. We offer the basic service which does remove most stains. And our Hot Carbonating Extraction process does have the highest rating for dirt removal as rated by the Carpet and Rug Institute. However some stains require additional attention which requires additional time and materials for which we must charge for this added service. Unlike most carpet cleaners, our vans are stocked with a wide variety of Specialty Stain Treatment products so that we can provide a superior service to our clients where others cannot. These might include rust, ink, urine, red dyes, water marks, coffee, make-up, oil, grease, etc. And if anyone can get these out, we can. When we do encounter a stain that our professional technician feels may not come out with the basic service we are upfront with this and discuss the options with our client before any cleaning is done so that they can make an informed decision as to how to proceed. Again we regret that you feel that in doing this we were engaging in "bait and switch" tactics. We like you do not like these tactics and strive to be an honest and ethical provider of service even if we lose jobs by doing so."

I appreciate the fact the owner called and wanted to make this right. I have had positive results with this company before.

Initially cleaner (not owner) said he would not recommend protectant on carpets due to their older age.  I pointed out carpet was less than 6 months old and I was not sure at that point I had chosen best cleaner.  Also said that carpets could not be fully cleaned without additional charges.  After discussion with owner second cleaner came out who was much more experienced and righted any wrongs.  Would only use service again if I knew which cleaner would be sent.
Response from Chem-Dry of Brentwood
"We had a problem with the first technician who did your cleaning. Without going into details he was intending to quit and was intentionally trying to make us look bad which is why I have terminated him and replaced him with a much more experienced technician who I can trust to represent my company as I expect it to be represented. I was very disappointed with the firs technician as he had been a good employee in the past but became a problem and I did not catch it in time to avoid a problem and is why we sent a second technician to correct the situation. Considering this and the quality of the final service I am asking that you consider upgrading the quality rating from a C to one that reflects the final service. It would be greatly appreciated and I feel reflects the true quality of our service."

They were punctual and professional but did not do a good job.  The floors needed to be vacuumed after they did the work.

The carpet ended up being  soaking wet, and I was not pleased, as I had discussed with them previously about this being an issue.  The tech was nice, courteous, and on time, however.
Response from Chem-Dry of Brentwood
"As soon as we saw this we contacted (removed member name) to discuss this problem and to offer to return to redo the project at no cost. We would have done this sooner but were unaware of the problem until we saw this review as (removed member name) had not contacted us direct. There is no question that the carpets should have not been as wet as described and we can only assume that there was an undetected equipment problem making the vacuum extraction not as effective as is required. Had we known this sooner we would have gladly returned to clean at no cost. We take great pride in our quality and customer service and have extended an offer of free service to (removed member name) to make this right. And obviously this is an unusual situation as we would not be in business if this happened on every job. We hope to make this right for her."

Our experience with them went fine.  The cleaning was very good.  They did a very good job.  It was a very good company.  They got everything out in the traffic areas in the bedroom going into the bathroom.  They quoted us one price but we needed extra cleaning in certain places and so the price increased.  But we found it to be reasonable.  Their quality was great.  They gave a three-hour window from 2 to 5.  They called at 2 o’clock and said that they would be there in a few minutes.  They forgot a piece of equipment and so they had to go back to get it.  They kept us updated about what was going on.  Their professionalism was very good.

I didn't have any problems with Chem-Dry at all. They were here on time. The work didn't take too long, and the estimate they gave me, which wasn't very much to begin with, was almost exactly what I paid. Plus, our carpets look brand new again.

Chem-Dry did a good job on our carpets. A real good thing was that they sold us an industrial powder that we could use any time on the carpet to clean spots made by our pets. I thought that they went above and beyond what they were required to do.

Chem-Dry is professional and thorough, and if the job is not done right they will come back and redo it without charge. I have used their service every four to six months for about three years. I have always been satisfied with the quality of the work.

The stain on my carpet came back within the first week. I am not happy with type of cleaning they did.
