These companies want prospective customers to know their reputation within the industry and the courteous service they provide. Most companies will be more than happy to provide you with a URL to their most recent carpet cleaning customer testimonials.

A reputable Vancouver carpet cleaning company will have general liability insurance in place.
5) Can you provide an over-the-phone estimate?
If a company is experienced and has done a wide variety of wall-to-wall and area rug cleaning, they should be able to give a fairly accurate estimate for most carpet cleaning services over the phone. If the estimate seems too good to be true, it probably is. The low estimate could be a ploy to entice you to hire the company. Once the technician is on-site, he may increase the price considerably with the excuse that the job involves more than was understood over the phone.
