Vanguard Restoration Carpet And Upholstery Cleaners

Vanguard Restoration has been cleaning our carpets for years. Gerald is extremely professional and does an excellent job. HIGHLY recommended.

My husband and I called Vanguuard hoping to have our carpets cleaned before our bundle arrives in less than 2 weeks. When he looked at our rooms his price immediately increased by $ 10 for a closet (even though the other room we were having him clean was about the third of a size of normal living room!) and when he starting cleaning the carpet a large ink stain went through the carpet in the middle of our bedroom. At 9.5 months pregnant my patience is limited but I wasn’t expecting to have a worse mess from having our carpets cleaned than what we had before.
I left the house for 30 minutes and when I came back he was gone — shocking! Apparently the carpets were not worth cleaning (in his opinion). The plus=he did not charge us for the carpets. The major drawback=he took a chunk out of our doorway and indented our wall with his supplies which means even more work! Not at all surprising that he left in a hurry, it’s just unfortunate we didn’t notice the damage he caused to our wall before he left and at this point I would not want to see what further damage he is capable of.
Moral of the story is… do not go with Vanguard. Seems like the reviews this year have been especially poor — I should have read them prior to his arrival.

I WAS a customer of Vanguard and Gerald (owner). Don’t use this jerk. There are plenty of other nice, friendly, carpet-​cleaning small business owners.

Gerald did an excellent job on 20 of our company’s office chairs! Couldn’t recommend him enough! Attention to every detail, large and small. Confirmed the appointment the day before — showed up when he said he would. We are very pleased with the outcome.
Vanguard Restoration does excellent work, very professional, as well as being affordable. Give him a call!

I’ve used Gerald for years and I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly!
He is honest, and actually passionate about cleaning carpets. Truly, he takes his job really seriously.
I found him originally on Craigslist. I throw a huge Halloween party every year and I’ve got light colored carpets downstairs. Things get muddy. not dirty, but downright disgusting. The first year, I called Gerald, and explained the situation. I told him I knew it wasn’t going to be perfect. I was wrong! I can’t tell you how much better my carpets get. I have him come every year after the big party, and he makes my carpets like new.
Recently, I got a microfiber couch as a hand-​me-​down from a family member with two small children. This couch was gross with who knows what. Gerald took a look at it, told me he could clean it, but he couldn’t guarantee that it would look any better– I came back a few hours later and the couch looks amazing.
Again, I couldn’t recommend Gerald and Vanguard Restoration more. Super affordable and nobody can do it better.

I know I shouldn’t wear shoes in the house. But my life is too busy and I am too lazy to take them off all the time. As a result, our high traffic areas of the carpet got a few spots and a little dingy over the past couple years.
Someone at work had used Gerald and had such a great experience that she sent an email to the entire company praising him. I called him up and he was personable and polite. He was offering a deal on his website of 2 rooms and a hall for $ 45. My hall is also used as an office because it has a huge landing so he added on $ 10. The end result was performed quickly and he was able to get every single stain out of the carpet.
Gerald means business: I watched him receive several calls and arrrange appointments by talking on his Bluetooth while he was cleaning the carpet. He scheduled them in his little Acer palmtop and then kept on vacuuming.
The only reason I dock him 1 star is because he seemed a little rough on my softwood floors with some of his equipment. I’ll gladly call him again.
