Ocala Cleaning and Home Services

The licensed and insured technicians of AllState Mechanical Inc. undergo extensive factory training on an array of air-conditioning and heating systems, equipping themselves with encyclopedic know-how so they can perform factory-authorized repairs on a vast number of makes and models in businesses and homes. To ensure satisfaction, the team backs its work with discounted maintenance agreements. In the rare event technicians can't repair an injured HVAC system, they'll analyze household needs to design a custom climate-control solution replete with easy-to-operate Honeywell digital thermostats, a two-year maintenance agreement, and a lack of hydroelectric turbines in the living room.

JC Teague LLC's eponymous technician first began working as a trade handyman in 1976, earning his keep as a certified gas service technician. A decade later, he started his own service company that grew to a fleet of 15 service trucks before he sold the business in 1996 and became a heating and air-conditioning consultant. Now, Joe Teague helms a residential and commercial cooling, heating, and gas business, where he repairs air conditioners, heaters, gas systems, and the brains of cyborg butlers.

Since 2006, the technicians at Everblue Pool Services have turned pools from green to clean using chemicals and tidying techniques. From resurrecting broken pipes to fetching sunken sea-monkey tridents, their biweekly visits ensure safe and spotless swimming waters.

Drake Dickerson brings hundreds of hours of pressure-washing experience to each job that he undertakes. He points his arsenal of tools––which includes a professional-grade 4,000-psi pressure washer, 20-inch surface cleaner, and extension wand––at driveways, sidewalks, porches, and pool decks, scouring off pesky dirt and salty automobile tears to rereveal the sparkling surface underneath. The company's pressure-washing prowess also extends to mailboxes, curbs, and fences, and if mold and mildew are the issue, Drake can also employ a chemical treatment to rid the surface of its green tint.

The licensed pest-control technicians from Florida Pest & Lawn shoo away a wide range of critters such as termites, bedbugs, ants, or rodents from inside and outside homes. The pest-control team takes its orders from Richie Kidwell, an industry veteran who learned from his father Fred, also a pest-control specialist, that bugs require more stern evacuation measures than a polite cough or a cease-and-desist letter. On each visit, a team member makes sure that no bug slips through cracks by performing treatments on both the interior and exterior of the home, inspecting and spraying popular pest hangouts such as around appliances, bathroom fixtures, windows, and garbage cans. To ensure that colonies don’t return, the technician also sprays a six-foot barrier around the home’s exterior, which effectively keeps all but 6’1” bugs at bay.

In addition to their pest banishing specialty, the team trims and cares for lawns and shrubs to keep yards healthy and verdant, wielding environmentally friendly products to fertilize plants or snuff out unwanted weeds.

Owner Maria Cruz attributes the success of her business to her dependable team, about whom she says, "I would trust them with a set of keys to my own house . . . I trust them wholeheartedly."

It would be hard not to, as the foreman of her carpet-cleaning crew, Joe, brings 10 years of experience to his work, and her housecleaning field supervisor, Patricia, brings more than 20 years. "I just could not do this without them," she emphasizes, citing Joe's talent for extracting red candle wax from a light-blue berber carpet, and Patricia's dedication to the checklist Maria created to ensure consistency in cleaning sessions.

Both cleaning teams are licensed, bonded, and insured, as well as thoroughly background checked to ensure that no one has a second job as a mud wrestler. The carpet cleaners purge dirt and debris from carpets with a steam-extraction system and stay well-versed in chemical concoctions to remove extra-tough stains. The housecleaners arrive at homes armed with commercial-grade supplies that will sanitize every surface they touch, plus eco-friendly products if the client desires. The cleaning checklist can be customized to satisfy individual requests.
