Larry and his team did an outstanding job! On time, finished the job quickly and priced extremely fair! They cleaned over 15 conference room chairs efficiently and within the tight timeframe we requested. Cannot say enough great things about them! I highly recommend Floor Pro!

Josh and Anthony did a great job on my carpet. They tackled some tough stains and the carpet although older is in great shape after their cleaning. I appreciated their wonderful professionalism and respect of my home and knowledge of their product. I recommend these gentlemen and Larry Gates the owner who is also professional and responsive. Its great to know this local company is available. I will certainly use again. Thanks.

Floor Pro really delivered on their services! The Service Tech, Shamond did and excellent job cleaning the carpet and furniture! We are pleased and happy with the outcome. Shamond was punctual, professional, courteous and knowledgeable. He arrived on time, reviewed the services that we had requested to have cleaned; and then he got busy! I would highly recommend Floor Pro and surely will not hesitate to use them again if the need ever arise again!Satisfied and Happy Customer!😊

Great price and speedy service. The guys showed up on time, were done within in 90 minutes( approx. 2000sf of carpet)! At first I was a little concerned about how the carpet would come out. Be prepared for it to be wet for overnight...however, that was because they got some old pet stains out... Now we did do a good prep before they came, moved all furniture and vacuumed all carpets. They did move a desk chair and crib on wheels. But when booking appt. they told me just what to expect..no moving of furniture... One thing to realize they do not have a tool to get close to baseboards, we also had a grey build up near air vents near floor that blow on carpet that did not come out. But when showing them this from the beginning they said they doubted they could get it out but would try. The traffic areas came out very good, and for the price, I felt this was a 5 star job, especially since they were able to get rid of the pet stains. And once dry became fluffy again....One other thing there is no smell. I almost expected a cleaner smell but was not there...I will use again and recommend....

Devon and Antwan were punctual and professional. They cleaned the whole house in under an hour and did an excellent job. Carpets came out better than expected, especially considering we have pets that enjoy using the bathroom wherever they please. 😅😂

Highly recommend Floor Pro! They did a super job cleaning my carpet after a few accidents from my senior dogs. I made several attempts to clean it myself, without success. The enzyme and deodorizing treatment made a huge difference. They saved my fairly new carpet! Shout out to techs Antwan, Josh, Shamond and AJ. Professional and talented crew!

Review №18

We just moved to SC from MI and bought a new home. We weren’t sure what company to use to clean our sectional and an area rug. I called a few places and decided to go with Floor Pro and I’m so glad I did! From the phone call to set up the appointment to the job getting done was a smooth positive experience. Shamond was prompt, courteous and did an awesome job. After our sectional dried there were a few spots that were previously highly soiled and didn’tcome out completely. No fault of Shamond’s as it’s hard to tell until it dries. I called to discuss the situation and immediately was rescheduled the next day and Shamond came back out and gave special attention to those areas and it came out great! I will definitely recommend Floor Pro and will always use them for my cleaning needs!

I absolutely LOVE how our carpets turned out and our tile floor! Our carpets were old and we were debating whether to get new carpet but thought wed give this a try. They look AMAZING and the guys who did it were very nice and fast. We had them come back to do our tile in our kitchen which had dark brown dirty grout and now looks new. They couldnt get it all under the cabinets as their wand was too big but I will do that by hand. The reason for my 3 stars is the lack of flexibility in scheduling and the dispatchers demeanor. I called out of courtesy the day of to say my husband got called out and I could not get home until 3:45 (3:00-5:00 window given). She said they were running ahead of schedule and could not wait until 3:45. She advised me to play it by ear but if they came and went I would be charged a service fee! No thank you! So we recheduled for Saturday 9-11 window. I got a confirmation of 9-11 but then they changed to 8:00. When I told them we agreed on 9-11 she insisted it was a communication error and they had someone else at that time. I showed her a picture of the confirmation and she still insisted it was 8:00. Just own up when you have double booked! It happens. We had to get a kid to practice so luckily they didnt show til later. I was very close to taking my business elsewhere and not sure if I will use them again just from this interaction.

I wanted to get the tile floors in my kitchen and master bath cleaned. I called Door-To-Door Floors, who installed the floors and they recommended Floor Pro. The two young men who came to do the work were prompt, courteous, and professional. The charge was reasonable and the floors look great. Very happy with Floor Pro and would recommend them to anyone who needs any type of flooring cleaned.

Sent an email to Floor Pro to get an estimate on cleaning the carpets in 2 rooms plus a staircase. Got a response with an estimate that evening. Was pleased with the estimate and scheduled the job for the following week. Their communication regarding the job was excellent and the cleaning was done efficiently and effectively. The technicians were professional and efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend them and will definitely use them again!

Im so glad we hired Floor Pro for our carpet cleaning. Scheduling was a breeze via email with Larry, he let me know when I could expect the technicians as well as an estimate of how long it would take and dry time. I also greatly appreciated that I received pictures of the technicians Josh & Will via text from Floor Pro before their arrival. Thats an awesome thing to do so you know who to expect at your home. Josh & Will showed up right on time and were very friendly. They got to work right away and were done in no time. Josh made sure to ask if I had any concerns before they started and if everything looked okay when they were done. The pricing was also fair, especially for the level of service provided with such a great staff. Well definitely be repeat customers in the future and will recommend to our friends and family. Thank you Floor Pro!

I would most highly recommend Floor Pro. We bought our house about a year ago, and wanted to clean up the carpets and hardwood floors after all the moving traffic and the previous dogs. We’ve had Floor Pro here twice in the last month, once for the area rugs, and once for the hardwood floors. In both cases, they were the absolute best to work with. Estimates were complete and reasonable, the crews showed up on time, and did an outstanding job, even to carefully moving the furniture back and forth to do the hardwood. Everything looks new now, and we couldn’t be more impressed or happier. Great job guys!

Review №37

I used Floor Pro because of a coupon I received in the mail and after spending the last few months potty training a new puppy my carpets needed some serious cleaning. The receptionist who took my call was super friendly and making an appointment using the coupon was easy. They emailed and texted me with updates and they were actually right on time! The techs, Josh and Will, were friendly and professional and they went above and beyond to explain everything and were so efficient and quick! I would recommend them and/or use them again in a heartbeat.

Handled promptly and arrived as scheduled. Price was much higher than previous cleaning (2017). Generally thorough job but did leave several spots which technician said would not come up with his spot remover. My wife removed with commercial spot remover. I dont think treatments for stain and odor are worthwhile. Would I use them again - probably.

From the first call to the day of service, Floor Pro did an excellent job communicating the cost as well as the timely arrival of the technicians to do the job. Although I wasnt there to meet the technicians or to see the completed work, my daughter said that it looks wonderful and smells great! We will definitely use Floor Pro the next time we need our carpets cleaned. The communication was professional the entire time and payment was easy to make!

Needed carpets cleaned for a house that was literally headed to the closing table. We didnt realize how dirty the carpets were until the moving process. We called Larry and Virginia they got us on the books right away, kept us informed via text of arrival times (super helpful in the middle of crazy moving). I appreciate their professionalism and response time and all this at an unbelievably low cost! CALL THEM!!

Outstanding job. I had a couch and recliner cleaned. They look brand new. Nelson and Josh did a great job. Nelson showed me one stain they were not able to remove and I realized it was from a sharpie pen. If he hadnt of shown it to me I probably would have never noticed because even though they couldnt remove it, it wasnt nearly as noticeable as it had been. Cant say enough nice things about them. Great job and thank you so much for letting me know when you were on your way. I would highly recommend them.

Great service start to finish. The communication during the whole process is excellent. I had area rugs cleaned that are picked up and dropped off. They assign you a window of time to expect them and when the technician is on his way they send you a text to let you know the technician is on the way to you. My carpets look like new.

This is the first time I have used Floor Pro. The company was recommended by a colleague. I had 5 bedrooms, living room and dining room area carpets cleaned and I am very happy with the results. The two young men, Nelson & Xavier, who did the cleaning were exceptional. They were friendly, personable, professional, and they answered all my questions. I especially appreciated the text message sent ahead of time by the company with pictures of the two young men who were doing the work. This company knows the value of customer service. As well, their prices are competitive. I highly recommend them!

Excellent service. Nelson and Justin were very professional, thorough, and efficient. Three rooms and a balcony cleaned in about an hour, including a few pet stains. And the pet stains... completely gone. They kept me informed and asked for my opinion of the service as they were cleaning. Nelson had some great advice on the best way to allow the carpet to dry as fast as possible. The whole process of setting up the appointment through Thumbtack until the service was completed was as streamlined and convenient as it gets. I would recommend Floor Pro and will employ them again in the future.

From scheduling to the carpets in the whole house being cleaned, the customer service was excellent! The carpets look amazing. Jimmy was not only professional but personable. He even provided a helpful tips - a cooler house helps the carpets dry faster and if you have to walk on them before theyre completely dry, wear white socks. I highly recommend Floor Pro to anyone who needs their carpets cleaned. Reasonably priced and theyre customer service is top notch!
