Lawrence was great. He cleaned at my sister in laws house a few months ago. That’s why I contacted him to do our place. I would have him here again and again. Very polite and very professional.

Jason was super helpful that enabled me to choose having my 7’ x 10’ area rug cleaned by taking it to the cleaning facility for a better result of what I wanted done. Jason has a great personality and great knowledge of how to accomplish his job. Me being retired military I really appreciated him even more. I know…

Unbelievable that Joeys responded and came to our house in less than 24 hours from our first call especially since our area in Central Ky has suffered major flooding 3 days prior The two young men were pleasant and professional and they arrived right on time! Excellent experience so far!

How we grade

Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.

Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.

Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.

Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
