My carpet had not been professionally cleaned for 10 years. I can sum up my experience with Ames and Step by simply saying that they FAR exceeded my expectations in every respect.
This was my first carpet cleaning experience. AJ and James did an excellent job. They were very personable, professional, and thorough in their work. All areas of concern were addressed. My carpet smells lemony fresh now and is spot-free. I have zero complaints whatsoever and would happily recommend them to anyone in need of carpet care.
Ames was our technician. He was friendly, on time, fast, and communicative. Will use again if ever needed.

I had my carpets done this week. A.J. did such a great job. My carpets look better than any other time I have had them cleaned. Because of their process I was also able to get wool area rugs that are on my hardwood floors cleaned. Will definitely use again.

Dry Step has cleaned our upholstery and carpets twice now, and both times the service has been wonderful. Today, Derrick took the extra time to clean the upholstery twice and everything turned out great. I went from thinking we may need to replace the couch to being greatly appreciative of their services. I highly recommend them for their carpet and upholstery cleaning services!
Thank you, Samarah! It has been our pleasure to serve you. I'll pass along your kind words to Derek.
The owner was extremely professional and handled all of our concerns. Customer service was very good.
Excellent job. Derek did a fantastic job and the carpets look great. Thanks - highly recommend!
