San Francisco
Customer Feedback:
Hargens Inc.
“I recommend them very highly. They started out working on our rain gutters when we had a new roof installed, and then I found out that they do heating as well! They do quality work, and they meet all of their appointments (which is a rarity in this day and age!). They respected my time and my family, and I really appreciate that. Unbelievably nice, accountable, and they don’t make any false promises. If this is how they always conduct business, they are going to be around for a very long time. Integrity and honesty go a long way.”

Customer Feedback:
Larry’s Extreme Clean
“I don’t think there’s anybody better. I am a carpet retailer, and I don’t recommend anyone else to my clients. He is so clean— his equipment is sparkling brand new! I’ve never seen anything like his service. The solutions he uses are the best on the market. I tried him myself and he got out a stain that had been there for years. I’ll sing his praises any day!”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Peninsula Chem-Dry
“I’ve been using them over 12 years and I’ve never had to complain. My carpet is probably 20 years old now, and just the other day someone said, “You look like you have new carpets!” I couldn’t recommend them enough.”
