My husband and I bought an old home in June 2010 - previously occupied by smokers. We had a baby in August 2010 and after being cooped up all winter, I began to feel as though there was something in the air of the house and started to develop a cough. With the small baby I was concerned so started looking up duct cleaning - presuming it had never been done before (100 year old home...)
I saw Pauls great reviews on homestars so called him to see when he would be available. He gave me his soonest booking which was about a week later. I called him to ask some questions a few days later and he readily answered all my questions and concerns!
Paul arrived right on time at 9AM, he mentioned it would take 3 or 4 hours. I had my husband work at home and took off with the baby. Paul had drop-cloths throughout the house wherever he was working and took his shoes off every time he came in! He taped everything up walked my husband through the whole process and 4 hours later I walked in to a breath of fresh air!! He mentioned to my husband that it looked like the ducts had maybe been cleaned before, but not properly, so in his mind, it had never really been done...SO GROSS!! My husband said the ducts looked like they were lined with fuzzy carpet wen Paul had him look.
The natural disinfectant he used was circulating throughout the ducts (still drying) and it smelled like a combination of Christmas, cinnamon hearts and beachy sunscreen! It was amazing. The ducts dried out and the scent was gone in a couple of hours. Paul called later in the day to make sure I was happy with everything.
I wish we had done the cleaning as soon as we moved in and will be sure to check the next home we purchase immediately!! I would recommend Paul in a heartbeat - he was really great!
Thanks Paul - see you in about 3 years :D
