While most cleaning companies are content to leave floors clean enough to eat off of, the team from Maid American Style strives to leave them safe to eat off of as well. These cleaners wipe away dust with microfiber cloths, polish surfaces with Green Seal–certified products, and use HEPA-filter vacuums to clean up after the kids leave a trail of breadcrumbs to remember how to get to the kitchen. They use green cleaning techniques not only during new baby cleaning services, but also during regular house and commercial cleaning sessions. In addition, Maid American Style's staff can clean carpets and straighten up messes after construction projects or parties.

Designer Diana Firth brings an educated eye to matters of home decoration and organization and can give expert advice on changes that will make houses more attractive to potential buyers.

Teressa Grijalva, owner of Closet Prep & Paint, organizes and rebuilds closets from top to bottom. Under her attentive eye, her staff builds her new designs customized for each client’s storage needs, after removing existing rods, shelves, and loitering monsters. They also repair holes and scrapes leftover from the old storage systems and re-paint the walls for a finished look. In addition to closets, the team also paints entire rooms in single hues or with Grijalva’s custom designed murals of green landscapes, bright flowers, or simple polka-dot accents for children’s theme rooms.

Working with great respect for the environment, the seasoned landscapers at Green Healthy Landscaping lavish their customers' lawns and gardens with care. Armed with organic fertilizers and nontoxic lawn-care products, the green-thumbed crew spruces up yards with regularly scheduled maintenance, preps lawns for impending seasonal changes with seeding and aeration, and uproots unwanted weeds and flamingo infestations. The company maintains the same eco-friendly standards when performing a variety of other services, including residential and commercial cleaning, power washing, and masonry work.

On The Spot Carpet Cleaning employs powerful Butler Systems trucks to thoroughly scrub down carpets and furniture in homes and businesses. The truck's top-of-the-line grime-fighting equipment uses bursts of 300 to 400 psi water pressure that are heated to up to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Unlike those of other companies, their system is completely self-contained and does not use any of the customer's water, electricity, or drainage systems. When not cleaning carpets or upholstery, On The Spot's technicians stand at the ready to remove accumulated water caused by flooding, burst pipes, or rainclouds that snuck in through the back door for a quick nap.
