Always an excellent detailed job from Dave and his crew! We have used this company since 1993 and have always been pleased with the results. The latest visit yielded fantastic results on our 10 year old carpet. Alec, our carpet technician, was thorough, hard working, friendly and knowledgeable. The quality of his workmanship exceeded our expectations since we had not had our beige carpet cleaned in over four years. Highly recommend using Dave's services. You won't be disappointed. Dave Nichols has been been cleaning our carpets for at least 25 years, at both our home and office.

Dave and his crew came to my rescue. We came home from a difficult out of town trip on a holiday weekend to a horror show of a dog accident (don't ask about the pet sitter that let this happen). We literally had NO upholstered couch or chair in our house to sit on. Dave and his wonderful assistant Amanda came to pick up our cushions within 3 hours of my plea.

They do a gentle foam treatment of upholstery, which is safer for most upholstery fabrics. Having used them before, I was confident that they could fix us up. In two days I picked up my cushions, and they were perfect. I really can't recommend Rug Renew more highly. Thanks!

Above & Beyond went above and beyond our expectations for cleaning four tribal and Chinese area rugs, two of them very old. Dave and Christina's knowledge of rugs and rug cleaning, attention to detail, determination to get the best possible result, price of product, even mundane steps like invoicing, billing and delivery were all flawless. As for the rugs themselves, they were restored to all their glory. We did price specialty cleaning with other experts and found Above & Beyond comparable. We could not recommend them more highly.

I had 25 paint spots from my acrylic paint and Dave and his assistant spent two hours figuring out the best way to remove all of them. They were sincerely proud of their work and how it looked and responded to the chemicals they had to use. And it came out! They are professional and honest.

I reached out to Above and Beyond Carpet to clean my daughters wool rug. The owner was very nice and helpful. He asked that I send him pictures of the rug prior. He advised me that he would be able to get the rug cleaned. I dropped off the rug and the gal was very nice and welcoming. They delivered my carpet when it was ready and I have to say I am impressed of how cleaned they got it.

There is some discoloration as I tried cleaning before contacting them and made the carpet look really bad and worse than it was before touching it. I am very pleased overall with my experience with them and highly recommend them to anyone looking to get rugs cleaned.

Absolutely the BEST! We called Above & Beyond Carpet Care to remove three large pet stains from our carpet at our home in La Jolla, CA. They were professional and knowledgeable on how to remove the pet stains. The previous carpet cleaning company we initially used could not remove these pet stains using a standard steam cleaning method. Our interior designer recommended Above & Beyond Carpet Care and we are thrilled with the perfect job. This saved us from having to buy new carpet. All of the odor and stain is completely gone now. We highly recommend this company for their expertise and professionalism.

I am in the process of preparing my house for sale after 36 enjoyable years. The white carpet is at least 25 years old. Dave Nichols at Above and Beyond Carpet Care is a consummate professional who accomplished wonders, breathing new life into my old carpet which looks stunning! Dave is a pleasure to do business and the job was outstanding and I recommend them highly. What a pro! I understand he also cleans oriental carpets and drapes. These folks are 5 stars all the way! Thanks Dave!

I can not tell you how many times I have used the $99 or less carpet cleaners who are in an out in 45 minues. Each time the carpet looks ok for a few days then bam - the dirt and stains returned. Just wasted my money. I used Above and Beyond today and to my surprise there was no long hoses dragging dirt into my house or a noisy steam cleaner sitting my my driveway.

I never had thought of carpet cleaners as professionals, but David (Owner) certinally is a professional. (No x-felons here.sure professionals) It is clear that he is highly trained and knowledgeable as he often attends carpet professional conferences and meetings. He explained the new way to really clean carpet is using a orbital machine that pulls out the dirt.

In reality, steam cleaning just makes mud of the dirt in the carpet and relys on suction to remove the mud. This process uses very little water and special products to adhere and crystallize dirt to get it ALL OUT! This was nothing less than impressive. He started out with heavy vacuuming, (Twice) applied the product then used the heavy duty orbital scrubber.

The pads came out very dirty as they scrubbed out the dirt and making the carpet stand up again. The product captures and crystallizes the dirt was appliedthen another thorough vacuuming.like magic all the spots that have never ever been removed by anyone disappeared! Just saved us thousand for new carpet.gained many years of use. it's certinally true.when it comes to carpet cleaning, you get what you pay for.

When we purchased new carpeting for our entire home, we wanted to make sure the warranty from StainMaster and Coles Fine Carpets remained intact, so we followed the recommendation from Coles Fine Carpets and had Dave and Above and Beyond clean our carpets on a regular basis. That was over 8 years ago and Dave always has our carpets looking like new.

He is an expert at what he does and is exemplary in terms of customer service. We really put Dave's expertise to the test recently when we had a big, ugly stain on our white carpet (which happened while we were out of town -- so it had over a week to set in.) When I saw it, I thought we might have to have the carpet replaced. Dave was truly a miracle worker and got rid of the stain.

He even made a return trip at no additional charge to re-treat a few of the worst spots (which he warned us might reappear.) The end result is amazing. Like new! We have tried many other carpet cleaning companies over the years, but Above and Beyond is absolutely the BEST.

Dave arrived on time and was ready to hit the ground running. I was impressed with care he took to protect our home and its furnishings -- towels, corner guards, pads, and of course booties. The first step was to clear the areas to be cleaned and protect those that were not part of the work. Second step was a throw vacuuming -- carpet, base boards, etc.

He noticed every "spot" or stained area and treated each. Also took care to blend the soiled areas with those protected by furniture. Cleaning took hours (with a 3 person crew) -- and I must say I received an education of the proper way to clean up spills or pet stains in the future. Lastly was another vacuuming and final cleanup. So how did he do?

I give him 5 stars for an outstanding job. Bottom-line: Dave is meticulous, very knowledgeable in his trade craft, and focused on quality. This is how to run a family business!

Dave Nichols has been been cleaning our carpets for at least 25 years, at both our home and office. After his visits, our carpets look completely new, and the fresh sanitized condition lends to a very clean smelling office and home. I am always surprised at how it cleans the air and environment in general. Additionally, there does not seem to be a stain on the planet that he cannot efficiently remove! I would highly recommend him to anyone!

New wall to wall carpeting was installed in the house about 10 years ago. Over that time, there have been six dogs and three cats who have engaged in the three P's (pee, poop and puke), fortunately, not all at the same time. Although housebroken, there have been these accidents, particularly in my bedroom. The upside is that the accumulated bacteria over the years has made me immune to everything. Therefore, I will never die. However, having achieved immortality, I was ready to have a clean carpet.

I found Above and Beyond Carpet Care in San Diego's Best Union Tribune Reader's Poll for 2017 as the winner in the carpet cleaning category. I checked out their website where it said "Risk-Free Guarantee - We will clean and restore your carpets and furnishings to their nearest obtainable level of original color and condition. If we fail to reach your predetermined expectation of the cleaning, upon completion of the service, you're not obligated to pay us." Well, based on the horrendous state of my carpet, my expectations were pretty low. Anyway, rather than giving me a "we'll be there between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. because we know you have nothing better to do other than sit around and wait for us, " I got an exact 9:00 a.m. arrival time.

As it were, they were ten minutes early which was great! The two cleaners were extremely courteous, listened to exactly what I wanted done and were very careful not to let the remaining dog and cat out. They vacuumed and cleaned and the result? It looks like I have brand new carpeting. I had considered just buying new carpet because I thought, "How in the world is anyone going to get these stains out?" I was really going for just clean.

I had no hope whatsoever for the stains. However, I simply did not want to go through having to move all of the furniture out of each room for new carpeting to be installed. Therefore, I decided to just take a chance with carpet cleaning. I am so glad I did. These guys are miracle workers. I plan to put this on the calendar and have them come in once a year to keep these carpets sparkling clean.

I simply do not see how anyone would not be thrilled with the work they do and I do not see how anyone could do this better. If five stars is the highest that is allowed, then I wholeheartedly give them five stars.

Dave has cleaned our white carpet for 23 years. Always a class operation. The new product that he is using, a chemical application (NOT Chem dry) is the best ever. Dry in 1 hour, and got out stains that traditional cleaning couldn't. Also, seems to be staying clean longer. And this is saying some for 25 year old carpeting. Dave is always researching the best products in the field, and this is a great addition. Honesty, integrity, attention to details. Great experience. And no, I'm not a relative!

Dave is my hero! I have never used Above and Beyond Carpet Care before and I will never use another carpet cleaning company again. I was ready to buy new carpet as I had a large oil stain which was very noticeable. I have always used another carpet cleaning company and they did try on 3 different occassions to remove the stain but never could: I was referred to Dave and his company from Cole's Carpet knowing they only use the best as their reputation depends on it.

The cost was more than the other company i have always used but it was worth the extra for the outstanding quality, exceptional knowledge, and professionalism. Tabitha was also very pleasant and informative as the initial contact. Dave, thank you again for saving my carpet! Sincerely, Jill W.

I've been using Dave and his company for many years. He was recommended to me by a large San Diego carpet company after the first cleaning company I tried was unable to clean the carpet on my stairs to my standard. I have never tried anyone else since, his work leaves the carpet and area rugs immaculately clean. Now, in a new house, he just cleaned my carpet using a method that he studiously researched before converting to using.

As usual, the carpet was fantastically clean, but additionally it needed very little drying time. Dave obviously takes great pride in his service and for good reason: very professional while being personable as well.

Very impressed by the professional crew cleaning our carpets. Attention to detail made our experience pleasant. No walls were scraped by hoses, and bed skirts tucked up, so no water damage possible. We highly recommend Above & Beyond Carpet Care!

We have been living in San Diego for almost 20 years, and never before has any company showed the care for making sure our carpets are clean. It's incredible. Today they are back touching up some spots we need done. If you want to have the most professional carpet care in San Diego call Above and beyond.

Wow, what a great job Dave did on my carpet! For starters he spent a ton of time prepping the area, placing guards on every corner so his hoses wouldn't mark up the walls or furniture, really professional. One of the rooms had about 10 spots that had been spot cleaned (cleaned and left a very visible spot) that I assumed were beyond cleaning. Dave worked his magic and the spots are GONE. The entire job was exceptional, I can't recommend then highly enough, both the work and the professionalism were absolutely top notch! Thanks Dave!

I rarely yelp except with great companies and this is one of them. I called 2 days before all my rugs and furniture was being packed in a shipping container. 3 kids under 8 had really dirtied our white furniture and light rugs. We frankly were planning on tossing 3 of the white furniture pieces because they looked beyond cleaning. ABOVE AND BEYOND somehow rearranged their schedule and squeezed us in immediately.

Right on time, Dave looked at our job, quoted a very fair price and held to that price even though he had to stay late to do a PERFECT JOB! He originally was reluctant and couldn't guarantee the white chairs would come clean. Well he UNDERPROMISED AND OVERDELIVERED. I would use ABOVE AND BEYOND CARPET CARE every time. Fair price, great service, great job! Thank you Dave!

Two of my favorite days of the year are when Dave comes to clean my carpet. I have. 10-year old wall-to-wall plush-pile carpet, light beige, and when Dave finishes, it looks brand new. Before meeting Dave a few years ago, I was about to replace the carpet. Not now. No need! Above and Beyond is THE BEST! Patti Biletnikoff

Its that time again! The family is coming for Christmas and I need to get the carpets cleaned. As tempting as it is with all of the "groupon" type deals right now ($87 for 5 rooms, etc.) I look at the fine print on the other businesses and realize that if I "live south of the 56 freeway" it is an extra charge, if the room is over 200 sq. feet is another extra charge, if there are stains it is an extra $25 to pre-treat them. WOW!

I dont pay anything other than what I am quoted with Above and Beyond for them to show up on time, come in very politely and clean my carpet to a high standard. I am looking forward to calling right now and booking my appointment. I am very surprised to read these negative reviews below and I am almost certain they could be FAKE. I am about to use this company for the 4th time and this has never ever happened to me. Do not believe them and if you have doubts feel free to send me a message with any concerns. Best to you!

I called in September and left a message hoping to get a quote for a simple rug cleaning (9'x7'). No response. I called in September and left a message hoping to get a quote for a simple rug cleaning (9'x7'). No response. I called today and actually spoke with a lady. She said she was waiting for a call and would call me back. That was at 2pm on 10/17. She never called.
