Jobs from the week of February, 19 2012

These nice folks purchased a foreclosure in King George Virginia, the house was in great shape and they got an awesome deal, however, there was a blackish traffic lane running throughout the upper level and on the stairs.The soil was no match for our powerful cleaning system, we were able to restore the carpet to a like new condition. The carpet was in great condition with no permanent fiber damage.

Fully restored carpeted stairs in King George Va.These stairs are now super clean, you would never know that they are a few years old

While cleaning at temperatures of 240 degrees we completely sanitized the carpet giving the new homeowners peace of mind that they made the right decision not to replace this carpet. The next picture shows the stairs from the same job, equally impressive results.

Awesome cleaning results!Although this floor was not the worst we’ve encountered, it is like new again.

The next picture is a tiled bathroom floor in the upscale subdivision of Fawn Lake, in Spotsylvania county Virginia. The homeowners called us out to clean and re-caulk their master shower. While I was there, I told them I could clean the bathroom floor for only $75 dollars more since i already had the hoses in the house. They said “we did not think they were dirty” so I asked if they wanted me to clean a small spot and see, they agreed. These folks could not believe their eyes, and said “oh yes, please clean them” So we did and they came out bright white just like the day the grout was installed, and yet another customer was very happy!

 

 

 

 

Shower re-grout and re-caulk in Fredericksburg Virginia

These next two before and after photos are of a recent shower overhaul we did in the Falmouth area of Fredericksburg Virginia on 10 March 2012. Over time, water can seep behind missing grout or caulk that has separated from the tile or shower pan turning it black. When this happens, cleaning alone will not fix the problem, the grout and caulk must be replaced. In the case of this shower, the faulty caulk and grout were replaced in time, if left unattended this could have turned into a much larger more expensive repair, had the moisture penetrated to the wall board behind the tile.

Note: the caulk along the corners and edges in the after shot appears darker as it was just installed and is still wet. It is matching caulk from the same grout manufacturer, and will match the grout lines perfectly when dry.

Professional Carpet Cleaning… The Better Choice

Carpet Cleaning FredericksburgWe love our pets, and couldn’t live without them, but they can take a toll on the carpets. A  professional carpet cleaning twice a year can really help eliminate odors, pet hair, dander, and stains.

A professional cleaning is far superior to any home cleaners or even carpet cleaners found in the grocery store or home centers. To get a good clean you need the heat and powerful vacuum that can only come from a truck mounted carpet cleaning machine. If you’ve ever rented a carpet cleaner you know that it is hard work, expensive, and doesn’t really do a good job, especially on the stairs and other hard to reach areas.

Why such a big difference in cost?

There are many different companies to choose from when it comes to carpet cleaning in Fredericksburg. How do you know which one is the best choice for you? As with most products and services it’s important to look at the value and not just the price. Some  companies advertise prices so low it almost seems too good to be true, it always is. It costs money to operate a business, insurance, taxes, gas, labor and so on. If the price is low the company is sure to be cutting corners. You wouldn’t want your carpet cleaned with just cold water would you? Of course not, but it happens. There are guys out there offering professional carpet cleaning, but use only have an old portable unit that can’t even heat the water, or they might not use the proper cleaning agents if any at all. Then you have the giant companies with the big advertising budgets, brand new vans and big fancy shops. I have had some people tell me these large companies have charged them 3 times what I have, and done a horrible job. You see, most of these bigger companies have high rates of employee turnover, so you really don’t know if your tech started 2 years ago, or yesterday.

In my honest opinion you will get your best value using an owner operated carpet cleaning company. It only makes sense, if the owner is cleaning your carpets, they truly care that the job is done properly and for a fair price. Most owner/operated companies rely heavily on repeat business and referrals. If they were doing poor work they would starve. Many owner/operated companies have better, more powerful equipment than the larger companies.

When choosing a carpet cleaning company always make sure they portray a clean professional image. Their uniforms, websites, business cards, brochures and vehicles should always look good. This image will most likely extent to your home, a professional will use corner guards to protect your walls and have booties to ensure they don’t leave behind more soil than they remove.
