Mr. Downey and his son, Kevin, were outstanding to work with! Not only did I receive a call after booking the service to ensure I was prepared for their visit, they walked through each room upon arrival and completion to let me know what they would and did do in each room. I even have a call scheduled tomorrow to…

Have worked with John and his company for close to 20 years. Always on time, efficient, provide a wide array of services. We mostly have some high traffic carpet areas cleaned on a regular basis but have also had Downey clean grout and area rugs. Great results. Appreciate being able to schedule directly through their website.

The Downey family did a fantastic job cleaning our carpets. They were professional, on time, and they charged what they quoted and did not try to sell incremental services (which I have experienced with other cleaning services). We will definitely use them again.
