Hi highly recommend Brown Family Chem Dry. I am planning to get new carpet but have to wait a bit because of remodel so I had them come out to clean them (they were in bad shape). Evan was very professional and did a great job - much better than a well known carpet cleaner I used to use! Their customer service was top notch. Even received a hand-written thank you card for the business which is rare in this day and age. I also just had them clean and seal my bathroom tile and again Evan did a thorough great job. I'll never use anyone else!

Response from the owner · 10 months ago

Patti, thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! We truly appreciate your trust in Brown Family Chem-Dry, especially knowing your carpets were in rough shape during a remodel — that means a lot to us. We’re so glad Evan was able to exceed your expectations with both the carpet cleaning and your bathroom tile cleaning and sealing. He takes great pride in his work, and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. Providing top-notch customer service and those personal touches — like a handwritten thank-you — are very important to our family, so it means a lot that you noticed. We’re honored to be your go-to cleaner and are incredibly grateful for your loyalty. Thank you again for your support!
