Moving / Carpet Cleaning

Movers: Arrived on time, very professional, wrapped everything carefully, filled their truck like Tetris, all business / no screwing around.

Carpet Cleaning: Again very professional, phoned the day of to confirm time, thorough and personable. His machine's pump failed with about 15% left of the house remaining - he was back the next morning with a fresh machine and fans to make sure everything was dry for the move the following day.

Highly recommend.

Oh that was so bad. The pumps failed with like one room left and the stairs! To be honest, that usually happens once every two years or so. I had to boogie around town to find someone who had the part and barely made it by 5pm! It was a bit of a rat race that one but it worked out great! Thanks again for choosing Super Powers Inc., and thanks so much for the review!!!!

Moving

We recently used SuperPowers for a move within the City of Calgary. As were moving from a home we had been in for more than 10 years, we had managed to accumulate a lot of stuff, and our estimate of how many boxes we would have was ridiculously low.

Gord, Sheldon and Brandon from SuperPowers were on the job from 9:00 in the morning until 11:30 in the evening, and were nothing short of exceptional in the service they provided. 10:00 at night and we are asking them to move a piano down from the second floor (where they had just brought it up) back down to the main floor and they are cracking jokes about it. They never made us feel like we were imposing on them in any way, despite the 13+ hours they were there helping us.

Both of our previous moves had been corporate transfers, using a major van line and sparing no expense (i.e. not being worried about the expense) so this was out first where we were paying for it and we were a little wary knowing that the moving industry in general is not known for being highly ethical and reasonable. We had heard horror stories about demands for extra money because of extra stairs, or a longer carry, or packing materials, or extra-heavy items or any number of things. Our concerns were unfounded with SuperPowers - the hourly rate quoted covers it all and in whatever quantities are necessary. Plastic wrap, tape, moving blankets, etc. were all in plentiful supply - there was no sign that they were being used sparingly because we weren't being charged directly for them.

In short, these 3 guys from SuperPowers took what could have been an extremely stressful day for us and made it into... I won't say a pleasure, but it was certainly as good as you could ever hope for a moving day to be. I would hire them again in a second and recommend them without reservation - they were amazing.

I really miss those long moves. It truly tests one's resolve. I have traversed into the late hours of the morning to get jobs done, up to 3:30am at one point, and it's not uncommon to have one or two jobs per month creep up to the midnight hour. It can be truly exhausting not only for the men, but the clients as well. Unfortunately nobody really knows how much stuff they have until the cupboards are finally empty, and they see how much they can actually get done packing by move day. Our trade is the one trade that truthfully looks like baby blocks from a distance, but is more like a 2500 piece jigsaw by the time you get to the moving day. It's very deceptive. I appreciate the great review, and we would do it all again for you guys in a heartbeat. Just call me anytime. =) Have a wonderful year! Bless your home.

Carpet Cleaning and Big Move

I found Christian and the rest of the Super Powers crew through their positive online reviews. They were very responsive to my query to set up carpet cleaning and moving a week apart. The paper work and email correspondence with Christian was clear and comprehensive. And Christian cleaned our carpets exceptionally well, Thank you!

Move day also went extremely well. The team was prepared and ready to go and they really went for it. It took them all day and they were positive and in good spirits the whole time. They really went above and beyond! We could not have asked for a better team of people to help us! They handled all of our furniture and belongings as if they were their own. I would recommend Super Powers again and again! Thank you so much!

Moving

AMAZING SERVICE, WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!

I had booked a different moving company a month in advance of my move and 24 hours prior to the big day they bailed. Christian and his team not only saved the day, but the price was even better than I was going to pay the other guys.

Come moving day, the two gentlemen that showed up were professional, cheerful, they wrapped all of the furniture and explained their process. They took their time and you can tell they really care about what they do.

I couldn't have been more pleased with the service provided and will definitely be recommending Super Powers to friends and family.

You know I have 4 trucks ready to go at all times? We never book more than 3 trucks, just to ensure that no matter what calamity befalls us, we have a back up. I am always ready to jump out of the office last minute to help people like you. I have no idea how some companies can treat this operation so trivial. Like... really? This poor lady took a full day off work, unpaid, her life is in a box, she has no bed, and now you bail? Forget it. To me that is ridiculous and we are there if we have a truck ready for you in a heartbeat. NO PROBLEM! Thanks for the review! I appreciate it very much! Thanks so much for your business!

Apartment move.

I found this company online and booked based on the reviews. I was not disappointed and would recommend Christian and his team to anyone. Gord and Ken, the movers assigned to me, were friendly and professional. They ensured all my furniture was properly padded and wrapped prior to moving, and put carpet runners in place prior to moving my belongings into my new place. Charges for moving were clear and billed accordingly. Overall, a great moving experience!

Carpet Cleaning

Our experience with Super Powers was impressive from beginning to end. Christian replied promptly to my email request with a detailed quote. The appointment was made and he kept me informed as to his arrival time. He cleaned the carpets and my couches and they look amazing. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, so there was plenty of work to be done.

We are very impressed with Super Powers, highly recommend Christian, and will definitely use them again.

2 dogs and 2 cats and no problems here! Thanks so much for the great review! I had fun over there. I guess we are pretty good at cleaning up after animals after all! I have a neat little concoction I developed for a friend of mine who has a rescue pup that has a bit of tummy problems. He keeps it in his house and sprays it on after he cleans up the mess and gets rid of the smell. Animals 101! =) Thanks again Laurel.

Take away old couch and a mattress and bed and a bike.

Courteous and fast and a good price. Pleasant worker and easy to pay. Also, the fellow was very careful of my property getting the items out of the yard.

carpet cleaning

Carpets were cleaned in a fast and efficient manner. Very polite and outgoing. The only thing that I noticed was when I went to check the dampness of the rug a few hours after they were finished, there was still a lot of dog hair that came up on my hand after touching the rug. I asked for the basic carpet cleaning and this might be why- but for $100 I thought more of the dog hair would have been removed. On a side note- our carpet was not soiled by any means and my husband and I vacuum very frequently. Overall, I had a good experience with this company

Thank you for the great review! I apologize for not being able to remove all of the dog hair gnatted into the carpet. Carpet cleaning is designed to steam shampoo the carpet fibres with powerful cleansing products, leaving the carpets bright, fresh and clean. They are not meant to unbind any dog hair that has been knotted into the carpet over long periods of time, however I can usually remove UP TO 90% (NOT ALL) if requested. In this case basic shampoo was requested. In order to fully remove ngatted pet hairs you would need to vacuum them out with a specialized vacuum with a rotator brush such as a Dyson.

We gave you the full cleaning you paid for and we did a follow up after the carpet was cleaned as usual before the review was left, which was a time to express any concerns or issues.

At that time I asked, "How did the carpets turn out? =)"

And the response was, "Great! Thank you!!"

I assumed the double exclamation point was a successful venture so I left it at that point.

We would have been happy to try and fix the issue, or explain why only some dog hair can be removed by a carpet cleaner, and is not completely removed unless brushed out in individual sections, which takes an enormous amount of time and effort, and hence costs a bit more in time and labour.

If you research a few other reviews, you will see that we often clean up after animals and have great results! When I was cleaning your carpet I never saw any hair whatsoever, and that is usually one of the first things we notice, so I cannot understand what you are talking about.

Your carpet was not that dirty and in no need of a higher level of cleaning, hand scrubbing, disinfectant, stain treatment, vanish application and proxy application and guard treatment which is way above the normal shampoo and utilizes about $100.00 to 150.00 worth of products, plus labour, so you can understand why $100.00 would not cover that regardless of necessity.

We are not a 6/10 type of company and do not want anybody out there to believe that we would ever let anything like this go without explaining it to you, especially in a quality check right after the work was completed.

The truth is, I would explain to most people who mentioned they had a dog, which you did not, and I never saw one, or any dog hair whatsoever, that a lot of dog hair gets kneaded into the fiber, and when a steam cleaner hits it, it has ZERO lift, it does not have brushes, and will not brush the carpet to rid the carpet of dog hair. The carpet cleaners can remove up to 50-80% of dog hair per cycle, depending on how heavy the hair is and how much it has intertwined into the fiber, but a regular maintenance of your carpet is required for perfect conditioning of any rug, including 6 month treatment cycles, scotch guarding, and your own specialized brushes or dog hair removing system on a weekly basis.

In this case I did not see any signs of pets nor was I requested to do a pet service.

Anyways, thank you very much for the business, and once again, I am also very sorry that we could not fully make you happy with our business.

Truly:
