Burbank Cleaning and Home Services

In the same year that Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick was published and California celebrated its official admission as a state, Hinsdale Nurseries sold its first tree. Since opening its doors in 1850, the family-run nursery—now under the helm of a third generation of green thumbs—has upheld its dedication to fostering hardy and beautiful gardens in the oft-extreme climes of the Midwest region, thanks to the staff’s exhaustive knowledge of area growing conditions. These plant enthusiasts coax trees, ornamentals, and perennials from 550 acres of earth in Plano before trucking the verdant bounty to their Willowbrook store for purchase. Hinsdale Nurseries also beautifies green spaces via landscaping services ranging from year-round yard maintenance to pruning backyard labyrinths and shaving their minotaurs.

Window Genie’s insured, uniformed technicians start a three-step cleaning process by scraping away dirt and debris, then washing panes with biodegradable, home-safe products that are designed to be gentle on fabrics and flooring. Next they will remove 99.9% of the water before wiping window edges and sills, leaving them cleaner than whistles that have spent the last hour in the dishwasher.

All jobs are backed by a streak-free guarantee, which promises that crews will return within 24 hours to fix any issues customers report. In addition to window-cleaning services, Window Genie technicians can install custom wood blinds and window shades, affix gutter-protection systems, and pressure wash home exteriors and sidewalks.

For more than 20 years, First Class Carpet Service's technicians, who hold Institution of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification, have resuscitated textiles throughout King County. Using powerful truck-mounted equipment, they take to task not only unkempt carpets, but also sullied tile, hardwood, marble, and concrete in homes and businesses alike. Their cleaning agent, a nontoxic blend, works with pretreatment sprays to help prevent carpet resoiling, even when floors are confronted with muddy rugby players looking to settle down for a nap. Outside of their flooring expertise, the technicians also offer pest-control solutions and upholstery cleaning.

A 2011 Angie's List award winner for service, Illinois Insulators helps to conserve heat and reduce energy bills through solutions specifically tailored to each home. Carrying heat-trapping wares in a variety of thicknesses and R-values—a measurement of thermal resistance—expert techs find economical ways to safeguard attics, garage ceilings, or crawlspaces against escaping heat. Techs can equip an unfinished basement ceiling with rolls of blanket insulation to soak up fleeing warmth or wield pneumatic tools to fill finished walls with soft tufts of blow-in product. Illinois Insulators helps to educate customers about the intricacies of the heat-trapping arts and can partner with homeowners to remediate sinister spores of mold from attics and floorboards. Home-improvement aficionados can also gild walls in soft, noise-hushing Rockwool acoustic insulation, which is made from rock fibers that soak up disagreeable noises from the TV or a neighbor's rehearsal of his genre-spanning acid-jazz and jackhammer band.

Green Home Chicago adorns living spaces with a wide variety of aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly interior accoutrements. Vetted by a 10-point “green” classification system, every Earth-coddling product benefits sustainability efforts through locally sourced materials, green manufacturing processes, or recycled content. Uninspired wall space can be enriched with nontoxic paint, recycled wallpaper, or an eye-catching object from a local artist. A plethora of stylish, American-made furnishings add tasteful accents to dining rooms and underground lairs, and bio fuel fireplaces alight drafty billiard rooms with denatured ethanol-fed flames (a fireplace unit purchase will come with an extra 15% discount). One of Green Home’s LEED accredited designers can provide expert advice as to the ideal placement of a natural-fibered throw rug or one can simply be propped up on stakes and used as a makeshift living space. Green Home Chicago also offers eco-friendly cabinetry and full-service kitchen design and remodeling.

We are a green friendly company. We use environmentally safe products and avoid toxic chemical solvents that most dry cleaners use.
