Lochearn Cleaning and Home Services

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. Her real-estate-staging consultations cover everything from the color of the paint on the walls to the arrangement of furniture. She can also give advice to buyers considering major renovation projects or simply looking to spruce up their living space with paintings of major renovation projects.

The specialists at ShredStation Express shred paper documents and pulverize hard drives; they recycle items such as cables and computer towers, ensuring that none of it ever ends up in a landfill. Patrons can drop off boxes and bundles of unwanted items or schedule pickup service.

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.

Mr. Powerwash’s licensed and insured team restores homes and commercials properties by blasting away mold and grime and refinishing exteriors with sealant and painting services. The crew carefully adjusts the pressure of its power-washing equipment to clean decks and play sets without washing the neighbor’s second-story housecat. Once the technicians scour wooden patios and fences, they brush on staining varnish to protect and prolong the life of all wooden surfaces. Never subcontracted, Mr. Powerwash’s painters coat homes and businesses in fresh pigment, and protect garage floors with epoxy paints. They can even tackle projects as large as parking garages or as small as the removal of graffiti from an Easter egg.

Understanding that power washing can help customers as well as the surrounding community, the team enacted and continues to participate in Clean Across Harford County, a program that calls for free power washing of local eyesores. Additionally, for every $199 wash they execute, they donate $10 to Operation Smile, a program dedicated to helping children in third-world countries with cleft lips.

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.
