Hired on Thumbtack
Have lived in my house for 23 years and never cleaned the garage. Someone at work mentioned these services existed so I called on Wednesday and these guys were at my house Saturday morning. They were so nice and polite even though my garage was absolutely gross. and they did an amazing job! These 2 brothers took everything out, power washed the floors and cleaned everything before putting it back with some organization to it. They worked hard and for a very reasonable price. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

Melo arrived exactly on time. In addition to getting everything perfectly done , he is charming and knows how to deal with customers. He removed all flaking paint from the ceiling of a 3-car garage as well as power washing the entire floor. He made sure to wipe down all existing installed cabinets. Garage looks brand new! He is perfect! I’m sending some of his business cards to friends/family in area. His is the ONLY company you should hire.

We had Melo and his co-worker clear out our garageattic and some items from our basement. He communicated his arrival time, rate, and the service that he would perform. He was punctual, professional, reasonable and friendly. He performed all that we agreed and did it professionally. Unlike some companies, he charged a flat rate. I would hire him again.
Details: Attic(s) • 500 - 750 sq ft • Removal of junk and clutter • Enough to fill 2-3 pickup trucks
