Eli was very responsive and such a nice guy. We had to cancel our originally scheduled date last minute, due to a health emergency, and he was very understanding and kindly rescheduled us. He cleaned the tile floors in the majority of our house and it came out amazing!!!! Made the house instantly look brighter…

I was looking for a carpet cleaning company that also did upholstery and I was surprised to find that Lightning Carpet Care also did pressure washing. Our pool deck is in desperate need of resurfacing and, because of all of the rain, its condition went from bad to worse very quickly, so I wanted to add on that service. In total, we had 2 sectional couches, 3 carpeted rooms (one treated for pet odors), and our pool deck cleaned. Eli was great; he was very punctual, kind, professional, was not pushy nor tried to upsell anything unlike other companies I read reviews on. He was honest and was very knowledgeable about his work and respected our needs. Our couches looked 100 times better and our carpets felt (and smelled) like new after his service. I did not have my hopes up too high for our pool deck due it needing to be resurfaced and how bad it looked; I just wanted it looking even slightly better since we had company coming over that weekend. However, I was very shocked at the result; it almost looked like a new deck compared to before. The after pictures here were taken one month after the service was completed and, after a lot of rain and daily foot traffic between my family and our dog, it is still holding up extremely well. I 100% recommend this company and will definitely be using his services again!

I had a great experience with Lightning Carpet Care! They repaired an area of my carpet and also power washed the outside walkway, and both turned out great. The carpet repair looks amazing, and the walkway looks so much cleaner and refreshed. They were professional, dependable, thorough, and took pride in making sure everything was done right. I’m very pleased with the quality of the work and the overall experience. I would definitely recommend Lightning Carpet Care and would use them again in the future!

I’ve had an exceptional experience with Lightning Carpet Care! The owner, Eli, was easy to communicate with and provided a free on-site quote for the work I needed done. Eli answered all of my questions, gave me options and worked with my schedule. Lightning Carpet Care was recommended to me by two friends and did not disappoint! Our canine family member had left some hidden surprises in two carpeted rooms. Eli had no trouble removing the stains and sanitizing the carpet. He worked efficiently, yet thoroughly. For the amount of work I had done, the pricing was very fair. I highly recommend Lightning Carpet Care!

Eli and his team at Lightning Carpet Care did an incredible job cleaning both the carpets and the sofa in our Airbnb condo. With the amount of guest traffic a vacation rental receives, everything needed a thorough professional cleaning, and the results were amazing. The carpets and sofa came out looking refreshed, spotless, and smelling so clean. The entire condo feels brighter, fresher, and ready to welcome our next guests. Eli was professional, dependable, easy to communicate with, and clearly takes pride in his work. As an Airbnb owner, finding someone reliable who treats the property with care is extremely important, and I would absolutely trust him in our condo again. I highly recommend Eli and Lightning Carpet Care to other Airbnb and vacation-rental owners, as well as anyone looking for high-quality carpet and upholstery cleaning. We will definitely be using him again!
