Excellent Carpet Cleaning
“When we remodeled our house we used an upstairs bedroom as our kitchen/living room. I was getting ready to rip up the carpets when Excellent Carpet Cleaning came to clean them. I couldn’t believe how clean the carpets became!“

Customer Feedback:
Hassler Heating & Air Conditioning
“Mike is one of the good guys. He’s honest, smart, and clean. They installed a water heater and furnace. I like Mike’s follow through— he came back and made sure that the heat was even in every room of the house. I’d like to see him succeed. A rare find.”

Customer Feedback:
Lance Painting & Decorating
“We’ve been using Lance for 10 years now. He’s done the outside of our house twice, and the inside as well. Everything is always left neat, and he’s a pleasure to work with. He has a great eye for color, and always lets me know if I’m going in the wrong direction!”
