Forest Park Cleaning and Home Services

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.

Junk Patrol helps simplify clients' homes with a streamlined, three-step process. After customers call to set up an initial appointment, uniformed technicians arrive to survey the unwanted junk and furnish a price quote that includes all labor and disposal fees. Then their strong-armed staff whisks away the cargo that same day, hauling off furniture, electronics, and construction material to a dump, donation center, or recycling facility. Junk Patrol also offers a selection of labor services, such as moving furniture or loading and unloading a U-Haul.

An old treadmill that’s become a drying rack for clothes. A broken air conditioner that’s sat in the garage for three summers. The crews of 1-888-JUNK-VAN drive their trucks to clients’ homes and remove such domestic deadweight, sometimes dispatching for same-day service. Upon arrival, junk-removal specialists tell homeowners to relax and leave the lifting to them. They then swiftly haul away appliances, furniture, and napping roommates, charging each job by weight. In keeping with the company’s green mandate, crews recycle as many reclaimed items as possible, and any items that cannot be reused are sorted for proper disposal. To further their commitment to environmental responsibility and community outreach, 1-888-JUNK-VAN leaders regularly donate to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and match each $2 donation that clients make at time of service.
