Description of Work: After purchasing the deal, i contacted Rainbow International. At first, she refused to honor the coupon and said "we dont have any deals with Angie's list". Later on she apologized after checking with someone else. Then she said "our reps are busy and i will keep you on the waiting list". After that i never heard back from her till date. Obviously, with my basement flooded, i couldn't have waited for more than 48 hrs. I called another service provider who showed up within an hour of my call and took care of my basement.

Response from Rainbow International Restoration and Cleaning
I’m so sorry that we were unable to assist you when you needed us. When you called us in the afternoon on June 26th, we had already received 29 other calls from homeowners who had standing water in their homes due to the severe storms that swept through our area. In emergency disaster situations, we try to help as many people as possible, and unfortunately all of our technicians were out assisting these customers. We called you in the days following the storms, but were unable to reach you. I am glad you were able to find another restoration company that was able to help you. I also hope that by now you have received your refund from Angie’s list. I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience we caused you. Judy

Description of Work: I am a first time subscriber to Angies List. I am in need of carpet cleaning & after checking out Angie's List, I called Rainbow International in Waukegan to set up an appointment for a quote, which was for today. They called yesterday to confirm my appointment for today between the hours of 11 a.m.-1 p.m., which is what I asked for. They then called this morning to tell me they had a lot of emergencies due to all the rain this past weekend & wanted to come earlier. I told them I could not do that. The girl told me she would get back to me, which she did, telling me that they could not make it today & wanted to reschedule. I have a hard time believing they didn't know this the day before when they confirmed. Their reveiw said they were dependable - I don't think so!!'

I’m so sorry that we needed to reschedule your estimate for carpet cleaning. After we confirmed your appointment on the 17th we began receiving emergency calls from customers who had standing water in their homes due to the severe weather that swept through the area. These calls continued through the night and by Wednesday the 18th we realized that we needed to re-prioritize our non-emergency appointments so we could assist these customers. I can assure you that we rarely ask a customer to change their appointment, and when we do it’s only because we’re experiencing a very high volume of calls for emergency disaster services. I hope by now you’ve received my formal apology in your mail and I hope that you’ll allow us to reschedule your appointment to give you a free carpet cleaning estimate and also $20.00 off any cleaning. I know your time is valuable and I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience we caused.

We immediately called the plumber, and he told us we needed to call someone like Rainbow. They came out the very same day and pulled up all of the carpet. They disinfected everything, pulled up the floorboards, cleaned everything up, and installed fans that were there for two days to dry everything up. They did a great job.
Description of Work: A pipe got clogged and backed up. The sink in the basement overflowed and caused an 8 x 10 foot area to get soaked with sewage.

I would NEVER recommend them to any one even my worst enmies. I also informed the plumber who recommeneded them of my experience.
Description of Work: One of my water pipes above our garage bedrrom broke due to extreme weather. When I discovered it it was around 3 am. The only plumber responded to my call told me how to find the main water switch and suggested Rainbow whom I had come out first thing in the morning to give me an estimate. He gave me a contract with an estimate of $4500 with a caveat that he wouldn't know how extensive the damage was until he tear the dry walls and wall to wall carpetoing, i.e., it could be more. The work involved: (1) garage: 2/3 of the ceiling, 2/3 of one length of the dry wallI and 1 wall in the width of the garage had to be removed; (2) bedrrom: wall to wall carpeting, a kitchen wink with the cabinet, the dry wall behind the kitchen cabinet, dry wall the wideth of the room, a 3' x 3' area of dry wall opposite the kitchen cabinet; and (3) wall to wall carpet on the stairway and landing, dry wall in one wall in the landing and s 2'x5' area under a stair way. I had to pay also for a garbage dump at the total cost of $250 as well as the cost of the floor dryers. He was out at my house every day there after to change the directions of each dryer which after the 2nd day I said I could do this. He told me "oh, it wouldn't cost you anything extra." The following day, when I asked bor a bill he told me it was $7500 to which I said that would be it. Still, he continued to came back each day to change the fan directions. At the end of a week, there were heavy things in my garage which my out of the country husband needed to check before I throw them out and would it be ok for them to leave the dumpster for an additional 2 days. I asked him would it cost any extra to keep the dumpster foran extra two day. He said no. To make a long story short, he ended up presenting me a bill close to $9700 with the dumpster rental increased to $450 with a STRAIGHT face. I paid him $8,500.

Dear Member, I apologize. We truly want every customer to have a good experience when they use our services, and that apparently didn’t happen in your case. I'm pleased that we had a chance to discuss your concerns in more detail recently. When we arrived at your home that Sunday, our goal was to provide you with a comprehensive scope of the job, while immediately beginning to minimize the loss to your home. As hard as we try to provide an accurate cost up front, we can't always predict how long a structure will take to dry. Many factors such as temperature, humidity levels and building construction all play a roll in drying time and ultimately the cost. Our goal is to stay in constant communication with our customers so they're informed and understand what’s happening throughout the entire process. Our company strives to have lasting relationships with our customers by providing the highest levels of professionalism, integrity, honesty and fairness. Service to our customers is a way of life for us and nothing, I repeat, nothing is more important than a delighted customer. Again, I hope you'll except my sincere apology. Heather Neal, Office Manager

This is a family-owned and run business and prides itself on professional care and service. Karl took time to thoroughly talk through everything that I suggested to be cleaned and looked first hand at the work areas before he came up with the estimate. Scheduling was easy, and the guys arrived on time and were extremely neat, friendly, and very professional. Everything was done without any hassle or problem. I would definitely recommend them for any carpet or upholstery cleaning. They seemed to really know what they were doing.
Description of Work: They professionally cleaned at least 9 rooms, including oriental rugs, and 3 sets of stairs. Not all the carpeting was the same material (some wool, others with silk), and they knew what process to use for everything.

I have used this company for several years. I have referred them to everyone I know for everything from upholstery cleaning, carpet cleaning and clean up from water damage. They always arrive on time. They are very professional and take pride in their work. When you call to get an appointment the person who answers the phone is always professional and helpful. They leave a kit behind when you have your carpet cleaned to remove stains later on which I have come to count on when a spill happens.

This is the second time we needed to use the company due to a flood in the lower level of the house. Both times the company was responsive. They explained everything step by step and advised us as to what services were actually needed and which ones were not necessary. Because we were satisfied with their services we called them during the flood in late August. In the north and northwest suburbs many homes were flooded. We called Rainbow and they were unable to service us immediately but (like 5 other firms) put us on their waiting list. Rainbow was one of two firms that actually stayed in touch with us and called us back periodically to see if we still were in need of their services. They came out, gave us an estimate and did the work quickly.
