Things went smoothly and efficiently. Nic was amazing.
Description of Work: Nic, the Colonial Chem Dry technician was on time and upbeat. He got right to work, explained things well, worked diligently and explained everything. Our condo was purchased new 2 1/2 years ago and the light beige rugs had never been cleaned. I had 3 rooms of wall to wall cleaned and he threw in some serious spot cleaning on a large area rug. I would definitely call Colonial Chem-Dry again. Nic was great!

Colonial Chem Dry did a good job. We had high traffic, older carpet in our first floor that they were able to clean and make presentable. They also spot cleaned stains for us. We couldn't believe how good our old rugs looked after the cleaning.

We have used them before and I have always been pleased with them. We have used them the first time at least 15 years ago. They use a process that dries more quickly than some of the other processes that are used. I think they use carbonated water or something like that. There was just one guy that came out and he was just awesome. He was wonderful!

Manny , the technician had his work made out for him as we have very busy messy grand-kids and pets. the carpeting came out beautiful . he also had a door protector put up that prevented any cold coming in and also prevented the cats from getting out. He is very professional and friendly.
Description of Work: cleaned the following very stained areas of our condo: 25 stairs,; loft 14.9x9 feet,; bedroom 14.3 x 12 ft,; bedroom 8x4; hall 6 x 3 x 2, also sprayed protector for stain prevention.

I was very excited to see their Angie's List Coupon, and looking forward to the service. However, I quickly got a message saying that their franchise license does not include Brookline, even though their listing on Angie's List said their service area includes Norfolk County. So I'm pleased they got in touch with me quickly, but really disappointed that their info online is erroneous. The franchise that does apparently cover Brookline, Northeast Chem-Dry, is not nearly as highly rated.

On May/05(Monday), I called ChemDry, because 1). They are near by in Upton, MA. 2). they have an excellent (A) review overall per my checkup in Angie's list. I called a few places, before I follow other reviewer opinion. They came in the same day to pick up this rug. That was very good and diligent pickup with 15% discount. I was told that it would take a good 2 weeks. Ok... It could be, because I thought others also starts to clean their rug for a new year. 2 weeks passed. No call from ChemDry. Ok... They might be scheduling for a delivery. On Thursday of 3rd week, I need to call in ChemDry. They said that they will deliver it Friday. Ok. Then I have them deliver it. When it delivered, I found that it was a damp with moisture. When I step on it with my feet, I can see my socks got wet. I need to roll it up again myself and moved it on top of dining table to have it dry for 2 days. Isn't it too hard to have it cleaned and dried for 3 weeks without having me dry it over my dining table for 2 days before I unroll it in my living room? May be I am unlucky customer.

Response from Colonial Chem-Dry
Thank you for sharing your comments regarding your experience with my company. Our goal is to provide our customers with the most outstanding experience possible. It is clear that we let you down in more ways than one and for this I sincerely apologize. While we aren't perfect, your comments will definitely help us to improve. It seems that your primary concern is the amount of time it took for us to return your rug. I believe there was a misunderstanding regarding the length of time required to professionally clean your area rug. Generally we return rugs in approximately two weeks as stated by the customer service representative when you originally called our office. However, she was unaware that the rug had urine damage. When the service technician arrived to pick up the rug, he identified the urine damage when he performed an inspection of the rug. It is my understanding that he then advised you that the urine removal process requires at least three weeks to complete because it is a more involved restoration process. I realize that prompt service is an important benefit in the eyes of our customers. However, our primary concern is taking the time to deliver a quality cleaning rather than rushing the job. I'm aware that Kerri called you to follow up on the service, and I was grateful to hear that you stated the rug looked good. Another concern was that the rug wasn't completely dry. I'm not sure why the rug felt damp for two days after being delivered. I personally inspected the rug just prior to delivery and didn't detect any dampness when I felt the surface with my hand. But it is possible that the base of the fibers were still damp. Knowing you were anxious to have the rug returned, we may have rushed the delivery process. In retrospect, we probably should have postponed delivery for another day. You mentioned that our company has an Angie's List A Rating. We truly value our reputation and appreciate the praise, confidence, and loyalty of our customers. I realize your experience didn't live up to your expectations. I'd like to provide you with a service credit, in hopes that you'll give us another opportunity to prove ourselves. I will call you to discuss what I can do to earn back your respect.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It basically went fine. There was no extra charge. They took a few shortcuts. I watched them do it and I asked them, "Aren't you supposed to have some heavy duty vacuuming happen first?" They said, "It all comes up when we shampoo" which was good but not all of it. A lot of it did but that seemed questionable to me but other than that, it looked fine. They did seem to be professional.

Response from Colonial Chem-Dry
Hello, At Colonial Chem-Dry we pride ourselves on offering superior quality service. While no service company is perfect, we strive to correct any short comings. Within a few days of service, we follow up with each customer by phone to solicit feedback. I'm confused about why you waited over 18 months to post your review. We would have been happy to address your concerns if they had been brought to our attention right away. Since I don't know what condition your carpet and area rugs were in before we cleaned them, and because we weren't given an opportunity to inspect the job, it's difficult for me to address your comments. However, in regards to the area rugs, I can say that we generally recommend that area rugs be taken back to our shop for cleaning away from the home. Our specialized in plant service is better suited to most area rug cleaning. Because we are usually cleaning area rugs on top of hardwood floors when we clean in the home, our efforts are impeded due to the precautions that must be taken to avoid damage to the floor. I regret that you were disappointed in our service. I'd love for you to give us another opportunity to prove ourselves to you. Even though its been 18 months since your original service, I'd be happy to extend a credit for future service equal to the amount that you paid in May 2011. Please don't hesitate to call me if you'd like to discuss this further. Debbie P - Owner

Phil arrived promptly, actually early, but called when he was 20 minutes out. He measured, looked at the carpets and other spots and got right to work. He wasn't there long but he did a great job and got a majority of the spots out of the basement. He also did a great job on the stairs and the few spots on the 2nd floor staircase. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Just bought a new home and the basement carpet was soiled, dirty, and smelled like dog. I wanted that carpet cleaned, the stairs, and I also wanted it deoderized. Also, there was a few spots on the staircase leading up to the 2nd floor that I wanted removed.

I had called Chem-Dry because a friend had such a good experience. I scheduled for a Saturday morning, and the technician was prompt, courteous, and professional. I had arranged for both the carpeting and a sofa to be cleaned. When we were looking at the sofa, the technician said that, since the sofa was so old (30+ years), and the fabric so worn, he didn't think it would stand up well to cleaning. I appreciated his comments, and we decided not to do the sofa after all. So he set to work on the upstairs carpeting. I had moved small items out of the rooms, and he said he would have no problem moving the balance of the furniture around to clean. He was done in a couple of hours. The rugs were damp, and dried in 3 or 4 hours. They looked great. A very pleasant experience all around. I would hire Chem-Dry again.
Description of Work: Chem-Dry came to my house and cleaned the wall-to-wall carpeting in 2 bedrooms and a landing.

The tech arrived right on time, was eery informative and asked if there were any concern(s) and/or questions before and after the carpet cleaning. The only issue I had was with the schedule. I was scheduled b/w 2 and 4 but the contract before me cancelled, so I either had to move my time or reschedule. After discussing the difficulty with both options, they were able to move it back 1 hour to 1:00. They were very nice and apologetic ...so that helped.
Description of Work: Timothy was the tech...very personable and he did a great job on my carpets..One was stained with an unknown substance and it has been removed!!! He completed cleaning 4 bedroom carpets in apx 2 hours and left very clean (as they need to bring in hoses etc) He was able to take out my 3 carpet to be cleaned "in store". He explained that he was the tech to clean them, explained the process and apx time to clean. Great guy! . As I have used Colonial Chem-Dry many times in the past, and I will continue to use them.

I found Colonial Chem-Dry through an Angie's List deal, and bought the carpet cleaning service. The rooms and hall I wanted cleaned were in an apartment that was occupied for about 4 years, and from the looks of it, there was very little vacuuming done by my tenants. Aside from an overall dirty look, there was one high traffic section that was particularly matted and dark in color. The technician who came was courteous, easy to work with, and explained what he was doing. He did a great job, got all the carpets back to a great look, and even improved the nasty dark spot in the hallway.
Description of Work: Cleaned the carpets and applied a carpet protector.

I used an Angie's list deal, which I think was half off. The person who scheduled the app't on the phone was polite and friendly and it was easy to get the app't I needed. Tim was the carpet cleaner and he arrived on time, was very friendly, efficient, and professional and did an excellent job of cleaning the carpet. The carpet looked new when he was finished and it dried quickly. I would use this company again without question and the results were better than I expected.

This is the second time I've used them. I used them last year to clean the sofa. I've had a good experience. They did a pretty decent job and the price was pretty reasonable. They were prompt. They came on time and left on time, which was good. I would absolutely use them again.
