I’ve been using Nelson Carpet Cleaning for 3 years now and there’s a reason (actually several…). Quality work. Good prices. Doug is super nice and clearly cares about his work - it is his business after all! I recommend without hesitation. #SupportSmallBusiness.

Our carpet upstairs was in terrible shape, it now, looks new. Thanks so much I have already scheduled Nelson to return to clean downstairs. What a blessing to have a Christian company with such an excellent leader. Thank you so much Doug Nelson.
