Good experience from first call to finished work.
Description of Work: I didn't price compare, so I didn't rate that aspect. Appreciated good communication so I knew what to expect. Workman was diligent and careful to use "steam" extraction on sofa, 2 large chairs, one ottoman and 4 throw pillows.

I looked on Angie's List for carpet cleaners in the area and read the reviews for this company. I called and talked to the owner (very nice) & we scheduled the appt. Before starting, they measured the areas and gave me an estimate. He cleaned the carpets, explaining what he was using, etc. and they looked wonderful when he was finished. Excellent work, I definitely recommend!

The service man, Ryan, showed up on time and did a remarkable job cleaning a very dirty carpet. All the services and the price were laid out before the cleaning started. The job was done professionally and, without question, perfectly. Thanks the Barr's Carpet Cleaning and I will see you again.

The pricing depends on the square footage they clean. The pricing seems fair, however I didn't get additional quotes for comparison. I felt they were professional on the phone.

THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME WE HAD OUR RUGS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED. MY HUSBAND HAD MEASURED THE AREA OF THE RUGS TO BE CLEANED. I CALLED ROB WITH THE MEASUREMENTS AND HE GAVE ME A PRICE OVER THE PHONE. HE WAS VERY THOROUGH AND PATIENT. ROB GAVE ME EXAMPLES OF WHAT FURNITURE WOULD BE MOVED AND WHAT WOULDN'T BE MOVED ON THE DAY OF THE CLEANING. HE MENTIONED THEIR SPOT GUARANTEE, HE SAID THAT THE PRICE COULD BE ADJUSTED DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF FURNITURE NOT MOVED, HE EVEN SET ME UP RIGHT THEN WITH A DAY AND TIME. RYAN SHOWED UP BETWEEN THE TIME GIVEN, WHICH WAS IMPORTANT TO US. RYAN MEASURED AGAIN TO VERIFY MY HUSBAND'S MEASUREMENTS. HE WAS VERY POLITE AND WALKED THROUGH THINGS BEFORE HE ACTUALLY STARTED WORKING. ROB HAD TOLD US AHEAD OF TIME HOW LONG (APPROXIMATELY) THE JOB WOULD TAKE. WE WOULD DEFINITELY USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN.
Description of Work: WE HAD ONE HALLWAY CLEANED, 2 SETS OF STAIRS(14 STEPS EACH) CLEANED, A FAMILY ROOM RUG, A RUNNER CLEANED, AND A BASEMENT RUG CLEANED.

This is the second time we have used Barr Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning, and we couldn't be happier. Rob Barr is very responsive, and followed up with us after the service was provided to make sure we were satisfied. Who does that??? Ryan was prompt, and took the time to explain what I should and shouldn't do about small "dog" stains that occur throughout the year (don't use store-bought carpet cleaners, use vinegar and water). He works very fast, yet does an extremely thorough job. You can tell he really enjoys what he does, and the result is amazing. I would absolutely, 100%, recommend Barr Carpet & Upholstery.

Barr's was very responsive and flexible in scheduling an appointment that was convenient for my mother-in-law. The young man who performed the work arrived on-time (early actually) and did an excellent job. He was very courteous and took care to make sure my mother-in-law was comfortable throughout the process. The carpets looked perfect immediately after the cleaning and continue to look great.
Description of Work: I contacted Barr's Carpet & Upholstery Clearning to clean the carpeting in my mother-in-laws home. The wall-to-wall carpeting had some stained areas and some areas that showed regular traffice wear. To limit disruption, we left the heavy furniture in place and had the carpets cleaned around it. The area cleaned included a combined living / dining room, a hallway and two bedrooms.

We had recently had to put down our 18 year old dog which was sad, the last few months he had frequent accidents around the house. I tried to clean them the best I could with my home size extraction cleaner with minimal results, so I decided to go with the #1 carpet cleaner on Angies list. I placed a call on Friday and received a call-back with in a couple of hours. I was told upfront how much it would cost me per square feet, so I had a rough Idea how much it would cost to do 1 large bedroom, 1 Large Family room, small Living room and Hallway. I also wanted our double recliner L-shape couch cleaned. As luck would have it they were able to schedule me for the very next Monday (which I had off) and the cleaner (Ryan) arrived on time. Ryan completed the whole job in about 3 hours and we were very happy with the results! The carpet even looked to change color as he went. The Commercial cleaning uses very hot water and the powerful Vacuum sucked almost all of the water leaving the sofa and carpet semi damp for less than a couple of hours. With these results I will definitely use them again on a annual to semi annual basis. I also had a $25 AngiesList coupon which helped defray some of the cost. All in all it was well worth the price.......I thought I would have to buy new carpet, but now it has a new life.

This is the second time I have used Barr's Carpet Cleaning and I continue to be satisfied! This time we were getting a townhouse ready to be put up for sale. It is always a pleasure to speak with Rob and be scheduled in a timely fashion. Ryan's work always impresses.. He was able to get a high-traffic area cleaned better than we expected. Once again, great job!

They showed up on time, the price was in line with the estimate and reasonable. Happy with the finished product. They were advertising a $25 off coupon, when I called in to receive a quote from their office they gave me a quote and when I asked about the coupon they claimed that they had already given me a discount. A little bit confusing since I did not mention that I was an Angie's List member nor did I ask for a discount until after he gave the quote.

Response from BARR'S Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
The member told me he had an empty house-I gave him the empty room rate immediately (which is over a 20% discount). I gave him that without him asking for it. He then wanted a further discount and I explained to him that I had already given him the discounted rate for empty rooms. Very simple. The discount I gave him was better than the $25 off coupon.

Employees of the company were polite and professional. Scheduling of service was okay. Service itself was done to industry standards, but nothing more. Products used were okay, but not exceptional. Cost more than other carpet cleaners.
Description of Work: Found the owner and the technician to be very professional in their demeanor. Technician came to my home on time and did a nice job with the carpet cleaning. However, considering the higher price I did not find the carpet cleaning itself or the products used on the carpet to be any better than other carpet cleaners I have used in the past.

Overall, a great experience! Thank you Rob and Ryan.
Description of Work: I spoke to Rob on Friday or Saturday, explained the services I needed and he was able to set me up for the following week. Ryan showed up on time, looked over the area and reconfirmed the estimate given by Rob. We also discussed some options on some more extensive work. What I was most impressed with was Ryan's flexibility and patience with me in the decision making process. He was very thorough in his explanations of what could be done and what to expect.

The (clean cut looking) man arrived right on time, explained the whole process. We walked through to take measurements and I received the price up front before he started. Next he began the job, only stopping to eat lunch and finished by mid afternoon. He was a smoker but only smoked outside. My carpets looked new again. He also gave me advice on how to address any future stains.

I contacted Barr's Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning on Monday, 10/11. I spoke with Rob, a very pleasant man, who explained that Barr is not the cheapest, but they aren't the most expensive either. He went into detail regarding the thoroughness of their work, that stains are pre-treated by hand, and that the process they use leaves no soap residue. Rob really worked with me as far as scheduling (I was trying to avoid rainy days, which was tough during this particular week). He worked me in on Wednesday, 10/13, which was a pleasant surprise. Ryan, the technician, was very prompt, very thorough as promised. He did an excellent job, and I was simply thrilled with the results. I had carpet stains that I really doubted would get perfectly cleaned, but they were! I will definitely use -- and recommend -- Barr's Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning again.

Ryan,the technician, explained the procedure and gave me the price for the job. He was professional and knowledgeable. They moved and replaced furniture and put blocks under heavy furniture to allow better drying. He recleaned 4 stubborn spots and explained the risk of color fading and the spots were successfully removed without fading. The removal of the rubber cement stain was much better than expected. He completed the job in about 2 hours.

Ryan arrived at 10:40 am on a hot day, moved the furniture, and worked h****** these four rooms until 2:30. I have pets and he was very good with them. That is important with me. He is very courteous, knowledgeable about carpet cleaning and I have already recommended Barr's to my friends. The price is not the cheapest but it is the best value. They have pride in their work because they back up and guarantee the work for 14 days and will come back if anything is needed. They do a follow up call. I have been disappointed with other cheaper coupon special carpet cleaning services in the past that I now consider a waste of money because it would look clean when they left and then the stain would come back. Ryan got a particular area stain out that I worked and worked and gave up all hope on and one week later it has not returned! They don't have a bunch of hidden charges. Rob Barr, the owner will go over the estimate with you on the phone ahead of time if you are prepared with your room measurements. Of course, stains might affect the cost due to additional labor. They will come out and give estimates also. I wish I had found them sooner for the condition for my carpets and ultimately, pocketbook.
Description of Work: cleaned 18 x 24 berber carpet family room, 11 x 24 berber carpet bedroom, 15 x 13 plush carpet, 13 x 12 berber bedroom carpet, family room berber hall and bath berber carpet. old pet stains that were previously unsuccessfully treated were removed. two stains were not able to be removed as advised up front,

Called on Monday for a first available appointment. Got a quickie estimate based on my measurements. Technician came in for a full estimate and service on Wednesday. I got the final total before he started with an option to proceed or decline service. Everything is based off a sq. ft. charge, so it's a no brainer/surprise situation. The technician vacuumed and then sprayed my trouble areas. He then did a full spray. Then he did his thing with all the gadgetry and hoses. He was dripping with sweat, proof that he was all business and "putting his back into it." That's key to getting a good seal for suction. I was stunned at how nice the carpets looked. While they weren't full of pile like new, they looked as clean as new. A red wine stain came out with ease. A grease stain came out. Cat urine gone. Baby poop gone. Baby vomit gone. We had treated these areas with spot cleaners and a consumer hot water extractor, but a black residue remained over time. Carpets took about 4-8 hours to dry depending on the location and position of my fans. It was a hot and humid day out, 90 degrees. While we are leaving this house, my wife and I definitely realize that we need not sit in filth until we replace carpets, cleaning once every few years is worth every penny, especially with great service and value from Barr's!
Description of Work: Carpets cleaned and spot treated. We basically had about 850ish sq. ft. cleaned throughout various rooms. Some rooms were fully done and the rest were just high traffic. We also had two staircases completed.

The company was very responsive to initial phone call and all followup calls. They scheduled an estimate right away and were very prompt and professional. The day the work was done, the technician arrived on time, worked for 3 hours and made sure I was satisfied with the work. Everything was explained during the estimate and after the work was completed. The carpets looked very good after being cleaned.
