★★★ Brooks · a month agoThe Mighty Maids

I booked with the mighty maids for a move in/move out cleaning as well as professional carpet cleaning. Nothing bad to say about the cleaners themselves they did a fantastic job and for a reasonable price. I however had a very difficult time getting ahold of "Victor" who felt like talking to another ai. Never…

This is the first time we’ve had our carpet cleaned since moving in 4 years ago. We have 2 dogs and the carpet had become stained over the years. Pioneer was able to get all of the stains out for a very reasonable price. Our carpet looks like it did the day we moved in!
