Shawn returned my call that same day and explained his service . We are extremely happy with the results of the bedroom carpet. We considered removing it but thought let’s clean it first and maybe later down the road we can replace it . Well it came out beautiful. How nice to have a fresh clean rug in the bedroom…

We were very happy and impressed with the service we received from Al's. We had them come in and do a deep clean of the carpets in the apartment we rent out and were very happy with the results. The previous tenants had children and animals and they were able to get the carpets looking and smelling like new. We would recommend and use them again!
