Been meaning to write this review for awhile…read more This place is awful. We signed our seven year old up for ukulele lessons and he was so excited! We got a teacher that honestly just sucked. We had signed up and prepaid for thirty minute lessons once a week. Not only was he flakey, but when he didn't postpone our lessons, he was mostly late to them. He didn't make up the time at the end of the lesson, but often also cut the lesson short. If it wasn't one or the other, it was both. He also consistently came unprepared. Spent a large portion of the lesson printing out sheet music. Why hadn't he done that previously? I couldn't tell you. Then he would chat with our son asking HIM to choose the music. Our son just wanted to learn, he didn't care what they played. And even when he did select something, the teacher would then spend the remainder of their time attempting to search for and transcribe the music. We attempted to reach out to the owner several times. Our names and number were taken each time, usually without a call back. When we did get calls back, it was from the manager or from a woman who could have also been a manager, both of whom were very rude. When I finally spoke to the owner, he seemed to want to be proactive about it. Offered to compensate us for several lessons that we either never received or that were only given partially due to tardiness or incompetence. He also switched us to a different teacher. Apparently we weren't the only ones with complaints about the other guy, so they fired him. The new teacher, Alex, is probably the only person who provided a positive experience for us at this place. I wish he'd just do lessons on his own as we would never recommend anyone go through this place. In the end, we never saw a penny of a refund. No lessons up ended up being credited as promised. And worst of all, they tried to claim we owed them money. For what, you ask? Lessons that were never given while they claimed to be "working all of this out". If I could give this place zero stars, I would. You're better off learning an instrument from your family friend or your dad with mediocre guitar skills from his high school garage band days than you would be at this place.

There were follow up emails for confirmation and to clearly outline what COVID-19 precautions he would take while here in our home. On the day of the appointment, he arrived on time. He assessed our piano and gave me options for repair with no pressure whatsoever. It's an old piano and certainly could have had further repairs, but we opted for just a tuning and to have a string repaired. He spent almost 3 hours here, did a thorough job and the piano sounds GREAT! I cannot recommend Runyan Piano Service enough. Wonderful experience!

We were so impressed that, while he was here, we had Dan look at our kitchen and bathroom tile for cleaning. He's coming back next week to make that fresh and like-new, too!

Place looked great, was told that it would be dry in 2-3 hours. Living room was dry, but the carpet on the stairs was still pretty wet about 12 hours later, but our movers weren't coming until the next day so no problem. I'm at work the next day and my wife's family called to tell me that the stairs are still sopping (24 hours later). I called to see if there was anything that could be done about it, as my movers and wife's family are now over there and are kind of stuck. He explained to me how the cleaning process worked and everything, which was great, and explained that usually it took 2-3 hours to dry. He recommended I "get some fans and open the windows," and although he said "I get it's an inconvenience," also did not offer any kind of apology. He asked bluntly "what are you looking for?" Refused any kind of discount, did not offer to bring over fans/blowers (I don't own any of either myself), and was generally unapologetic and told me "I don't have time to argue about this on the phone I have other customers and clients." Nothing wrong with the cleaning itself obviously, (I think, I haven't been able to see the upstairs) and the carpet looked as good as could be expected given the state of it at the start, but I was pretty disappointed by the lack of sympathy or willingness to help after paying hundreds of dollars for a service. *UPDATE* Jason made things right which was hugely appreciated. Very knowledgeable and experienced and would highly recommend.

Working with Absolute Carpet has been absolutely awful. I called initially and got an appointment…read morefor Friday 10/18 which was canceled an hour before they were scheduled to arrive citing a job that was bigger than anticipated. Then it was scheduled for Tuesday 10/22. Nobody showed up Tuesday and when I called they said it was actually scheduled for Wednesday and I must have written it down wrong. Wednesday 10/23 they showed up and cleaned the couch and I venmo'd payment only to get home from work and find dirty water stains on my cream colored couch where they hadn't pulled out all the water correctly. So I texted the number I'd sent the payment through, and got nothing back. I called the next day and was told they'd fit me in that next Tuesday 10/29. Nobody showed up by 4pm so I called again, and was told that if nobody showed up by 5 that Jason, the owner, would personally come clean it on Thursday 10/31. On the 31st I called in the morning to get an ETA on when someone would be there and was told he'd call his guys (again, he had said he would personally come clean it) and get back to me. I have not heard from him since. Suddenly my calls are dropping and then the cherry on top was the 1am call I got (and didn't answer for obvious reasons) and then got my call declined again when I called back at a reasonable hour. Long review to say: Do not hire these folks, they will jerk you around and then do a terrible job. Worst part is they obviously don't stand by their work.

I have a lot of disappointment, but I will keep it to five:…read more 1) He said he would sample indoor and outdoor air - he did not sample outdoor air. I inquired about background samples during the sampling, which he pivoted to web based mold spore data for the area. Ultimately, there is ZERO discussion on outdoor air in the report. 2) I paid extra for pollen and dust mite data, but it is not in the lab report and Jeff will not respond. Other analytes were marked "not found", so they were still listed even if not present, so my only assumption is pollen and mites weren't analyzed for, since Jeff has not responded to the inquiry. 3) Thermal imaging was important to me and I made sure he had one as we discussed inspection details. He used it, took pictures, but refuses to provide them. His stated reasoning is " I used the thermal image camera to scan the walls and ceiling to see if there were any moisture areas present. There was none visible, so there did not need to be photos in the report." Which is contradictory to the report he provided which states: " Thermal imaging showed a significant temperature variance of about 9°F cooler than the rest if [sic] the homes ceilings at time of inspection above dining room in corner of room " but he did no further analysis during the inspection to confirm the cold spot was or was not water related. His refusal to provide thermal imaging is baffling. 4) He took ten samples for laboratory analysis: 8 by tape and 2 by swab. Swab is not part of the Standard Operating Procedure published by the lab he used and he refuses to support the use of the swab or discuss the impact it has on data quality. For example I also paid for fiber analysis, but using a swab would introduce fibers that may overshadow other analytes. 5) After a few days I had a draft report which contained many placeholder text with a message they would be revised when lab reports came in. The final report came about 48 calendar days later with placeholder text largely unrevised. There is a photo from my attic, zero photos from the groundlevel where he spent most of this time, the results of the indoor air sample, and a very old google street view image on the cover. If I printed it, I would consume 8 pages, but that includes the cover page and three other pages that 90%+ empty, like table of contents or poorly planned page breaks. He did find a lose light fixture on my garage. Was that worth this headache? In my opinion, no.

I called and he gave me a quote and squeezed me in the same day for a small job (about 100 sq feet or less). He kept me updated on when he would arrive (since he squeezed me in last minute) and charged me a very reasonable price. My carpet smells nice and clean, I can't really tell visually since it's a very dark carpet, but I'm already breathing a lot easier. He was very nice and personable and I'm glad I went to someone local who cares so much about customer service! I would definitely suggest anyone in the Chico area come here for any of their carpet cleaning (or other cleaning) needs!

He is very knowledgeable, thorough and trustworthy. Will be hiring again for all future jobs, highly recommend!
