The day of the service, 2 people showed up (they were actually early, and had notified me they would be early, which was fine with me). They reviewed what areas of the house needed to be cleaned, and provided me a specific cost for all the services (which was about 27 dollars more than the online estimate). I told them this price was fine and they brought in all their equipment and started working immediately.
It was not requested or required, but I assisted them with moving some of the furniture. I did not mind helping and made things quicker for them. They did the entire carpeting in the house, and moved the larger pieces back (and placed discs under the large items to keep the legs off the carpet). All the smaller items remained in other rooms and I told them I would move those back after the carpet dried.
Our carpets are old and quite dirty and worn. They turned out a lot cleaner than I expected, and none of the carpet was very wet (which is one reason I decided to go with this company -- their claim is they use less water than other companies). There were a few spots remaining, but considering how bad they were to start with, I was very pleased with how everything turned out. The carpet dried in about 6 hours, but I waited about 12 hours before I moved everything back in place and removed the discs under the large items.
I would definitely use this company/location again, and would definitely recommend them. Their price seems about average with other companies in the area -- seems high but I guess that is what is charged in our area and for the typical house sizes in this area.
Technicians arrived within the window given and provided an estimate prior to service. The carpet took about 45min-an hour to clean. I stayed off the carpet the recommended 5-6 hours for drying. I am very pleased with the results and service from this company. Would use this company in the future and would recommend for friends.
This is my second time using this company. Last year my husband was here when they cleaned our carpet. He was very impressed also. I will use this company again.
The Pet urine removal treatment is $60 a gallon with $25 off when you purchase more than 2. I got my carpet deep cleaned, sanitized also. Great work, great work!!!
You get what you pay for, and I have to say every penny spent was worth it.
I had kept the carpet in fairly good condition in my three years at the condo, but, as always, there were always spots that needed cleaning and where I hadn't been able to vaccuum.
We chose Barr from checking out the ChemDry website and cross-checking the companies on Angie's List
Barr looking like they were in the business for a while and had expertise that included water damage. We had water leak into the Family Room during superstorm Sandy, and although we dryed things out as best we could, we were concerned about mildew setting in.
It's also a high-traffic area with young kids, so we knew the room was due for professional cleaning anyway.
Customer service was great on the phone. The person asked some initial diagnosis questions that indicated to me they were used to dealing with and discerning problems from customers and potential customers even if the customers didn't know or didn't divulge all the information. A business that is ready to be frank and do expectation management is always good in my book.
They do have a minimum charge for coming out, but that was something I expected. I was also pleased they could come out so soon, though since it sounded like we weren't in dire straits from Sandy, we scheduled for a Saturday when both my wife and I could be home.
They gave us a three-hour window for that upcoming Saturday afternoon. When the day came, the hours ticked by and no word. They had indicated they would call a half-hour before arriving (as many service providers do). As it was getting closer to the end of the day and we had not heard word, I gave the main number, but was only able to leave a message. However, shortly after that, I received a call from the technicians that they were en route from Falls Church. Someone at the main office had gotten my message and wanted to make sure they knew. My guess is since they're in Woodbridge, we were to be their last stop on the way back to home base. When we spoke to the technicians, they indicated it had been a pretty full day -- and so the schedule had slipped.
Once they arrived, they took the time to go through an on-site inspection and which treatments they would advise or not advise. The actual work was relatively quick.
Granted, the carpet is from 2010 already, but after the treatment, it really looked brand, spanking new -- and I'm hoping it will take the kids at least two more years before we need the thorough professional cleaning again.
Josh was very careful to explain all the options and he was also wonderful with the animals.
Stacy Barr assisted him and we were impressed with her knowledge and suggestions.
We would certainly continue to use them.
