Customer Feedback:
The Steam Team
“We just used Jim to get pen marks out of our brand new, yellow velvet sofa. We were terrified that he might make the situation worse. Instead you can’t tell there was anything there. He also got two filthy white rugs looking like new. All this for a very reasonable price.”

Customer Feedback:
Northwest Termite & Pest Control
“I checked around and their prices were well within the normal range. They did a good job of inspecting my home in Oakland. I was very satisfied. One of the best things about them in that they will reinspect your property for reinfestation once a year for five years afterwards.“
