A really pleasant experience from beginning to end! I scheduled an appointment online (which was fantastic, because I totally have a phobia about calling people on the phone) and was surprised at how soon they could come out. I live in a group house, and had a tiny window of time between when one roommate moved out and the other needed to move in. The exiting roommate had also been there for seven years, and I figured it was time for a good cleaning before a new tenant moved in. I also scheduled for Steven's to clean our well-worn stairs; the bedroom of my sloppy third roommate who had spilled ink (and god knows what else?) in splotches all over her carpet; and the sunroom where my cats' litter boxes are, which, alas, also included at least three different spots where my older cat prefers to pee instead of the litter box.
The technician called me the day of the cleaning to see if they could drop in early since they were running ahead of schedule, and called me again after my roommate had let them in and they had had a chance to assess the situation. They ran by me what the costs would be for the PURT (pet urine removal treatment, I think?) and for the spot treatment on the stairs and my roommate's room. They warned me that they didn't think they would be able to remove all of the ink from the carpet, and that the urine stains were so bad that they thought the PURT treatment would be only about 50% effective -- they asked if I still wanted to go ahead with the extra costs, despite those situations, and I decided to go for it.
When I got home from work, the carpets looked fantastic and were nearly dry! They were able to get all of the stains out of my roommate's carpet except for one really bad ink stain (but the rest were gone! A miracle! Now the new tenant won't be scared to move her stuff in there!) They were able to get all of the cat puke stains out of the sunroom carpet (because of course they like to throw up there instead of on the tile floor) as well as years of stains from people spilling detergent meant for the washing machine in there (which I actually didn't expect to come out at all). The cat urine stains looked and smelled much, much better, though they were right that the stains and smell were initially so bad that the improvement was about 50% (maybe I'll have them come back again in the near future for additional improvement). Our well-worn stairs and carpet also look revitalized, and they nicely cleaned a small area rug that I am happy to announce actually IS gray and blue (I thought it was possible that it was white and blue, and just too dirty to tell the difference).
Great service all around -- I e-mailed Steven's with a question about my bill the evening after the cleaning was done, and they responded immediately. Overall, they made the entire process incredibly painless; they fit easily into my short time frame; they were honest with their assessments and ran everything by me in advance; and they made our gross carpets look clean and nice for our new housemate. Will definitely use them again in the future! read more
