Dillabaugh's Flooring America is a horrible company. They have been so dishonest for a "Christian" company. They have the worst customer service I have ever encountered. They do not respond to emails in a timely manner. They tell that they are unwilling to compensate me for damage that their installers caused to my property. After waiting for several weeks for a response when I asked for their insurance information so I could file a claim for my damaged property, the following is the response I received: "we have had a direct conversation with our installer and he is stating that he did not cause this damage. I apologize for this inconvenience of course, as we are put in the position yet again of he said/he said." Do not trust Dillabaughs and do not trust their installers. They have been horrific to work with and I will NEVER do business with them again. ...read more

MISTAKE #1: Choosing acarpet cleanerbased on equipment alone. No question, your carpet cleaner needs first-rate equipment. But he also needs something else. He needs employees who are skilled at operating that equipment. Many companies own hot-water extractors, but very few companies teach their employees how to use them properly. The best way to know that the carpet cleaner’s employees have been properly trained is to make sure the cleaner has been certified by the Instituteof Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Before you choose a carpet cleaner, ask to see written proof of the company’s and the technician’s IICRC certification. MISTAKE #2: Choosing a carpet cleaner based on low price. Low price could be a problem in three ways: (1) low price can be the bait that attracts your phone call. But once the cleaner gets into your home, he pressures you into a much more expensive job. (2) Low price can be for single-process cleaning. Rarely does the consumer know what this means and, when told, ask s for dual-process cleaning instead, which costs much more. (3) Low price means the carpet cleaner has cheap equipment, which will not effectively clean your carpet. MISTAKE #3: Choosing acarpet cleanerbased on a single telephone call. Instead, invite the person to your home and ask for a specific written quotation. Then you’ll know exactly what the carpet cleaner recommends – and you won’t be the victim of high-pressure tactics when the technician steps into your living room. MISTAKE #4: Choosing a carpet cleaner who doesn’t offer a money-back guarantee. In my view, every carpet cleaning company should be fully accountable for its work. And if you aren’t pleased with the job in every way, you shouldn’t have to pay for it. Period. Not all carpet cleaners offer a guarantee. Or, if they do, the guarantee may be “limited.” Ask the carpet cleaner if he offers a money-back guarantee and then make sure the carpet cleaner includes his guarantee on his written quotation. MISTAKE #5: Choosing a carpet cleaner without getting comments from his other clients. Any carpet cleaner can say anything about his past jobs. And, sadly, some of what he says may not be true. Make sure you ask for references or read comments from current customers so you can depend on the carpet cleaner and his work. MISTAKE #6: Choosing a carpet cleaner who isn’t certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). If your carpet cleaner isn’t a close friend, you may not know whether he has the knowledge or experience to clean your carpet well. If you want to be sure you’re hiring a competent professional, make sure he is IICRC certified. The carpet cleaner must earn that certification through study, experience and successful completion of formal, written examinations. In effect, cleaners who are certified by the IICRC have earned a college degree in carpet cleaning. MISTAKE #7: Choosing a carpet cleaner who isn’t a member of the Carpet and Fabricare Institute (CFI). CFI is a trade association of carpet cleaners who are dedicated to: (1) honest, ethical business practices, (2) staying current on the latest methods for carpet and upholstery care, cleaning and restoration, and (3) the highest possible level of customer service. You’re making a wise decision when you have your carpets cleaned by a member of the Carpet and Fabricare Institute. MISTAKE #8: Choosing a carpet cleaner who doesn’t use a truck-mounted hot water extraction system. You might expect this from me, since my employees and I use this type of system. But there are several good reasons. Portable hot water systems are good, but they aren’t as good as truck-mounted systems. Truck-mount systems are the Rolls Royce of carpet cleaners. Compared with portable hot water systems, truck-mount systems use hotter water, higher pressure and stronger suction. So all the way around, you get a much better job. No two ways about it.Boise Flood Restoration ...read more

If you’re thinking about having yourcarpets cleaned, we encourage you to follow these four steps: STEP #1: Make a commitment to yourself to get your carpets cleaned. The longer they remain dirty, the sooner they’ll wear out. Plus, the longer you have to breathe all the pollen, fungus and chemicals that hid in your carpet. STEP #2: List your objectives. Do you want only the dirt removed, something you could do with a rented shampooer? Or do you want all the bacteria, fungus, chemicals and dust mites removed, which will require a hot water truck-mount cleaner, as we use? Do you want to work with an honest, reputable company – or are you willing to risk working with the company that offers you the lowest price – knowing that the company might not be in business tomorrow? STEP #3: Ask questions. The way you learn about a company is to ask specific questions and listen carefully to the answers. Here are eight tough questions to ask a carpet cleaner before he begins to clean your carpet: 1. What method of carpet cleaning do you recommend? 2. What type of equipment do you use to clean carpet? 3. What will your equipment remove from my carpet? 4. How often should I get my carpets cleaned? 5. What training have you had in cleaning carpets? 6. Are you a member of the Carpet and Fabricare Institute? 7. Are you certified by the IICRC and will you show me your certification certificates? 8. Are your cleaning technicians certified by the IICRC and can I see their certifications? STEP #4: Once you’re satisfied that you’re working with an honest, competent professional, invite him into your home and ask for a specific quotation in writing. A written quotation gives you the assurance that you know exactly what your job will cost – no surprises. By following these four steps, you’ll gain all the information you need to make an informed, intelligent decision. If you want a quick, cheap carpet cleaning job, many companies in the phone book can help you. Or you can rent a shampooer from the grocery store and do the job yourself. But if you want your carpeting to be completely and healthfully cleaned – removing the bacteria, fungus, chemicals, pollens, and tobacco products – then we invite you to call us. We’ll be happy to answer your questions – provide you with a ballpark cost estimate over the telephone – or come into your home and give you a free written quotation – without cost or obligation of any kind.

Have you ever heard the term "steam cleaning?" This term has been around for a long time, but really misleads customers. Professionals know this type of cleaning as hot water extraction. They inject hot steaming water into the carpet then extract it out. It's the most popular cleaning method and has been around since the 1960's. Operators will use a truck mounted extractor to product vacuum suction and high pressure hot water - at the operating end they'll use a stainless steel wand. It's a flat vacuum slot with several spray jets behind it. When you are pulling the wand toward yourself the spray jets are leading spraying down hot water solution immediately followed by the vacuum slot. There are several problems with this method - a few are: 1.) Testosterone laiden operator thinks he should have use the highest head and pressure available. This leaves him power washing your carpets with way to high of pressure AND using too high of heat. Excessive heat will strip your carpet of the stain resistant coating the factory put on it. Six months later you'll think you need to replace your carpet. The high pressure can damage the fibers of your carpet and force water down into your pad where it does come out for a week. Over wet carpets are a haven for mold&mildew.; 2.) Short cut operators like to use chemical injection systems. This means they run detergent through their wand, but don't rinse it out! A good operator should prespray your carpet then rinse with either hot water or an acidic rinse that helps remove the alkaline cleaner they sprayed in. Running the product through their wand is much like pulling your clothes out of the washer in the middle of the wash cycle. They have a soapy film on them that causes several problems. It can irritate your or your pets skin. It leaves a sticky residue on the carpet that attracts dirt. In a matter of weeks after the cleaning the carpet begins to look dull and gray. Homeowners are left confused and thinking maybe a new carpet or maybe hardwoods! 3.) Short cut operators can be lazy. The manual wand requires a lot of back breaking labor to scrub the carpet back and forth. The wand really only cleanings in one direction (pulling it toward you). So the operator really needs to cleaning from several directions to get an effective cleaning - laying the carpet fibers over in many directions, not just one. As you can imagine there are no lack of short cut operators (or their employees). These problems became so prevalent that many other "magic" methods came in into the market. Many methods that espouse to be "dry" came to be. Either dry foam (how do you make bubbles without moisture) to dry powders that would be sprinkled into the carpet, agitated in then left for the home owner to vacuum out. There became so much confusion that leading carpet manufacturers finally stepped up and declared that hot water extraction is the most effective cleaning method. Use any other method and you may void your warranty (because they don't work!) Where does this leave us? Two things you must have. An operator that cares about doing quality work. And superior technology to deliver on that promise. Carpet Rx uses Rotary Extraction. We use a rotary power wand that sprays hot water into your carpet. This round cleaning head has soft brushes, 3 spray jets followed immediately by 3 vacuum slots. As the cleaning head moves across your carpet the head is spinning at 200 rotations per minute delivering 600 cleaning passes from all different directions. It recovers water better than a regular wand and extracts dirt and stains much better. Carpet Rx uses quality environmentally friendly pre-spray and stain removers that are completely rinsed out by our rotary extractor. Call for a free estimate.
