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.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Brende & Lamb Tree & Shrub Care
“They are marvelous! I have a lot of really nice Japanese Maples on my property, and they needed some loving care. B&L are really artistic pruners, not butchers who just cut off branches. They really know what they’re doing, and they’ve done beautiful work.”
