Monroe Cleaning and Home Services

"Billie" of Billie Goat Cleaning Services was teased about her name as a child. Her husband convinced her to use the moniker for her cleaning business, saying she should "make a negative into a positive." It seems an apt philosophy for a company whose technicians specialize in eliminating stains and transforming dirty spots into sparkling-clean areas. All of the company's technicians are insured and have been rigorously screened prior to being hired to ensure that staff members are skilled, professional, and able to blast a stain to oblivion while riding on the back of a bucking lawnmower.

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.

After a career as a highway patrolman and corrections officer, David Masters opened Stat Cleaning Services as a side business in 1985. David attributes the business's success to meticulous work and personal attention, two qualities he says scored him a job cleaning 200,000 square feet of carpets in two related office buildings. That was the job that spurred David to retire from police work to focus on carpet cleaning full-time.

In each session, a two-person team purges carpets using a truck-mounted system that brings only an extractor and a connecting hose into the client's home. The extractor forces steam between carpet fibers to pull out deeply embedded debris, such as pet hair, crumbs, and long-lost Scrabble tiles, leaving carpets dry less than two hours later. The same heat extraction also purifies tile and upholstery. A special enzyme solution is also available for purchase, which works to break down the bacteria created by pet stains and prevent their odor from lingering.

Each cleaning team checks the quality of their work and ensures customer satisfaction before leaving the premises. In the event that a problem does occur, customers need not worry about wading through tiers of customer service reps, managers, and machine intelligences for a resolution; David answers almost every phone call himself.

The team members at HJ Earthbound Cleaning provide complete care for homes and offices with interior and exterior primping services. Through its lawn-care-and-maintenance branch, the business offers regular mowing and leaf-blowing services in addition to seasonal clean-up treatments. Cleaning packages are also available to keep overgrowth of dust and grime at a minimum. The cleaning staff can customize its services for specific needs such as move-outs or seasonal-cleaning sessions, and furnishes cleaning supplies so that customers can save their own products for cleaning the cages of pet dust bunnies.

Before he started building houses, Padgett Construction & Remodeling LLC owner Stan Padgett constructed a crew of talented builders who boast 50 years of combined experience. Specialists in commercial remodeling, Stan and his team are also known around town, and as far away as Texas, for their work rebuilding structures damaged by storms. When not busy with projects such as building new retirement homes, the crew keeps their skills sharp by providing in-home repairs and other everyday home-improvement tasks ranging from electric work and plumbing services, to the cleaning of gutters clogged with leaves or missing pool noodles.
