Grandview Cleaning and Home Services

The cleaners at Crimson & Blue Carpet Care, a Green Seal–stamped business, revamp floor coverings with a contemporary air-cell encapsulation technique. This method gently purges filth with a low measure of moisture, as opposed to steam cleaning, which may shrink and damage underfoot fibers. It effectively peels stains from all types of carpet, erasing evidence of past spills and living-room winemaking. The techs at Crimson & Blue don't just clean carpets but also are experts on tidying up homes from top to bottom. During home cleanings, the crew uses a 43-point cleaning checklist that covers all major areas of the home from bathrooms to kitchens to bedrooms and general living areas. Customers may also opt to have the team create a customized a cleaning plan catered to the specific needs of their home.

Lush hanging baskets dangle over flats of annuals, perennials, and herbs in an outdoor shopping area that emanates the earthy fragrances of soil and mulch. Two couples own the nursery, striving to set themselves apart from big-box greenhouses and name-brand jungles by stocking a vast variety of plants, many of which arrive weekly. On many containers, soil tags display a monarch-butterfly logo to indicate that the plants will attract the delicate nectar-lovers. The staff can also get their hands dirty in your garden, as they offer landscape design, yard work, and installation of koi ponds, outdoor lighting, and domesticated tiger lilies.

As extended families assemble for summer barbecues that spill from kitchens to living rooms to backyards, Larry Knight stands ready to ensure indoor areas remain frosty. The owner and chief service technician of Air By Knight has swooped into many Fourth of July parties to rescue sweaty relatives from busted air-conditioning units and flaming tires rolling haphazardly through lawns.

Air By Knight's 24/7 service policies show Larry's commitment to customer service: all the company's service calls are handled by Larry himself or his business partner, an old friend.

While installing or servicing HVAC equipment at a home or business, Larry also works at building a relationship with his clients. He thinks of them as family, and it was family—an uncle in Texas—who first taught him his trade, in which he is now a Kansas Master Mechanical and certified in three categories by North American Technician Excellence.

KC A/C Heating, Plumbing and Rooter's licensed technicians keep their tool belts on 24/7, prepared to leap into action for emergency repairs on HVAC systems and plumbing systems. They can replace customers' water-supply lines, clear out drains, or keep flooding pipes from short-circuiting the robot butler. Aside from emergency services, the techs tune up heaters and air conditioners. To ensure houses continue to run smoothly, they also install new equipment, such as air-conditioner units, furnaces, water heaters, and garbage disposals.
