My parents are the carpet guy. I may be a little bias in writing this review because they are my parents. First of all my parents have had this business since before I was born and I'm 31! They are carpet cleaning machines! Idk how they do it and at their age! I help my parents sometimes with the business and let me tell you it is not easy work! I'm so happy they have their business in the Santa Barbara area now. The people of Santa Barbara are just the ideal people to work for. To all the customers who have hired my parents and have written reviews here on Yelp. You guys are awesome. It's crazy how much knowledge my dad (the carpet guy) has on cleaning carpets. I keep telling him he needs to write a book on carpet cleaning because he is a carpet genius. I mean if you do it for over 35 years you're going to be an expert haha. He knows just what chemicals to use how much water pressure for different types of carpet. This man is an "EXPERT". My mom Irene (the carpet girl) lol. She is a Wonder Woman. Idk how she does it. From scheduling jobs to watching her work man she's a beast. Best thing about their business is seeing the expression on the customers face when the job is completed. They make carpet look brand new and it's awesome that people will wait weeks for my parents to return to their home for a cleaning. I hope to one day replicate the work ethic and success of the Carpet guy in my life. Love you mom and dad! read more

I'm blown away by these two!! They are the NICEST, HARDEST WORKING, FAIR AND FUN couple that I have met!!! From literally the minute I spoke with them to the end of the job, it was a total pleasure. I actually never write reviews because it seems like most people running their businesses are kinda in it for themselves, and you always think in the back of your mind, "can I trust this person?" These two are just NOTHING like that. It really is like having your very good friends over. I can not encourage you enough to choose them!! I know from years of experience working with many many contractors, that this company gets an A++++. Mark and Irene, thank you for your excellent work and, your kindness, professionalism, and for just being you. Oh, and our carpets look PERFECT and I was ready to change the carpet!! Again, Thank you!!! read more

I called Mark & Irene to clean my entire home pre-sale. A family of 5 had lived there for about 20 years, including pets...so you can guess that the off-white carpets were very Off white! There were I thought "permanent" stains, but the Carpet Guy and his lovely wife went to work and got out EVERY STAIN!!! I have never seen two people work so hard. They actually did a lot of lifting, clearing items off the carpet in order to reach every possible inch to clean. They are perfectionists in the good sense. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Do not waste your time and money getting your carpets done by anyone less than the BEST: the Carpet Guy (& Gal) :) My carpet looked brand new & my home sold at price in about a week!

WOW, Where do I start? Im a 21 year retired Army Veteran and I am used to high standards. The Carpet Guy Mark and Irene just cleaned my carpets and I'm still in Awww on how great the carpets look. Not to mention their professionalism, careful, and friendly service they provided. You just dont find that type of service any more. It is so refreshing to meet a husband and wife team that truely care about what they do and insuring that we were completely satisfied with the work. I read their reviews and they are spot on, except one thing, there should be a 6 star added to the reviews. Thanks Irene and Mark, you now have a long life customer. read more

I can't say enough good things about Irene and Mark of The Carpet Guy. Their work is exemplary. Our carpets had not been cleaned thoroughly in quite a while so they had their work cut out for them! But I can honestly say our carpets are now, far and away, the cleanest they have ever been. Every stain gone and cat odors eliminated! It's like we have all new carpeting in the house! Not only is this couple hardworking, clean and meticulous in their work, they are just lovely people to be around. I recommend this company without reservation and will not use anyone else to clean our carpets in the future. read more

This is the second time I used Mark and Irene to clean my carpets and I can't say enough good things about them! Conscientious, hard working, professional and just the nicest people. They do all of the work themselves and take great pride in pleasing the customer. They're reasonably priced for the incredible job they do. I actually look forward to getting my carpets cleaned just to see them again! Thanks Mark and Irene - you're the best!!! By the way, I live in the San Fernando Valley, so don't think you have to live in Santa Barbara to use them. read more

What can I say about Mark and Irene...I love them to the moon and back. I only wish I could have my carpets dirty more often, I usually use them twice a year, but if I could I would have them clean my carpets every month. Mark and Irene are THE BEST truly truly THE BEST at what they do. My carpets look as good as new, once they are done with them. But I also love them as a couple, they are super kind, understanding and simply adorable. Having The Carpet Guy in your contacts is a life saver, trust me.

Hi, Mark and Irene was recommended by my neighbor, she loved their work so much that when I needed my carpet done I tried them. They were very professional yet friendly but most importantly they did an excellent job. My carpet looked brand new and the spots do not come back like they do with other carpet cleaners. Since them I exclusively use them. Oh yeah, their prices are more than fair and they are very straight forward no hidden costs (better even than those coupons you get in the mail). I highly recommend them!!! read more

We would have had to replace our carpets years ago if not for the expert care of Mark & Irene. The are most convenient to schedule appointments, always prompt at the appointed time, do the job in a thorough and timely manner, and are pleasant to have in your home. We have had them coming to our home for about 12 years - maybe a couple more. They do a wonderful job and give us good value for money. We hope they will continue their business for many more years.

Ours was their last job of the day, yet Mark & Irene arrived with big smiles & lots of energy. While Mark prepared a quote for the entire house, Irene got started prepping the one room we absolutely knew we wanted cleaned. The quote was so reasonable we had them clean all four rooms plus several throw rugs. Before leaving, Mark gave us some great pointers about how to care for our carpets & rugs until the next cleaning. Call them today; you WON'T be disappointed! read more

These guys are great!!! They are reasonably priced (cheaper than the last cleaners I used) and are the most wonderful people!! They were so sweet to my cat, let her out of the bathroom when they were finished, and they took great care with my home. My carpets look amazing! They got all the ash and cat throw up stains out. The carpets look brand new!!! I would definitely use them again. They are SO nice and do an excellent, excellent job!!! read more

The carpets look amazing!!! I did lots of research and am so happy that we went with them. We have lighter carpets and three indoor cats. It's been a while since the carpets have been cleaned and so there were lots of stains. The stains are gone, the cat odor is gone and the carpets look great. Mark and Irene are wonderful, hardworking and professional. I will definitely use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

I'm not really prone to leaving reviews for services, but just had to put in a great word for The Carpet Guy (and Gal). Mark and Irene are the best at what they do, and they do it with high integrity and a warm smile. They even got chocolate and red wine stains out of the carpet and made our mid-century chairs look like new. You'll not regret giving them a call! read more

I have used the Carpet Guy for over 25 years. Every now and then I think hmmm, I will try someone new because I am in a rush or a get a coupon and EVERYTIME i REGRET IT! When the Carpet Guy cleans my rugs they stay clean. They do awesome work, they show up on time, they are what my daughter and I call them very lovingly "the happy people". read more

I am new to the area and I called them based on the Yelp review. As recommended, they were fabulous, came the same day, took care of a pet odor and actually cleaned more than what I was paying for. I had to leave and left them alone in the house. They did the job, cleaned up and left everything locked up tight. Just wonderful people. read more

The most AMAZING carpet cleaning EVER! Mark and Irene are hard working, personable, and honest. They have been doing our carpets since 1999, first in an emergency flooding situation where they saved our carpets, to routine carpet cleaning because of pets. You will never be sorry when you hire The Carpet Guy Company, Santa Barbara. read more

I think the rating comments say it all. "As good as it gets!" This couple is incredible. I have used them many times in that past 6 years and they never disappoint me. They get stains out that I think are a lost cause. The carpets always look amazing! I wouldn't use any other company and highly recommend them!!! read more

I just had my carpets cleaned by them, and they were as pleasant and friendly as they were highly competent. My carpets are more beautiful than I could have hoped, and they assured me they would come back for free if any dirt underneath would rise up over the next few days (didn't). Great service! Thank you!!! read more

I never write reviews, but I was so happy and impressed with the quality of work that The Carpet Guy did in my home I had to say something! Top notch professionalism, wonderful people, generous and accommodating on all counts. I've used other places in Santa Barbara before, and no one compares. Fantastic! read more
