Our Satisfaction Commitment

At AFC Carpet Services, your satisfaction is our top priority. We stand behind the quality of our work and are committed to ensuring you are completely happy with our carpet cleaning services. This policy outlines our approach to customer satisfaction and the circumstances under which refunds may be provided.

Service Satisfaction Process

If you are not satisfied with our service, we follow this process:

Step 1: Immediate Communication

Contact us within 24 hours of service completion to report any concerns. Early communication allows us to address issues promptly and effectively.

Step 2: Assessment and Resolution

We will schedule a return visit to assess the situation and determine the best course of action. Our goal is to resolve any issues to your complete satisfaction.

Step 3: Re-cleaning or Alternative Solution

If needed, we will re-clean the affected areas at no additional charge or provide an alternative solution that meets your expectations.
