The current owner has built an independent brand that is recognizable and trusted throughout the area, and has the dominant web presence amongst its competitors.

Capabilities of the business include cleaning of tile, grout and concrete, stripping and waxing of vinyl composite flooring, as well as carpet and upholstery cleaning. The owner uses a fully contained system with truckmount equipment that has the ability to effectively reach seven stories.

The reputation of this business is excellent, with most jobs coming from referrals, repeat customers and requests to restore inferior jobs done by competitors. “They’re McDonald’s and we’re the steak house,” says the owner. Clients include some of the most exclusive hospitality businesses in the area, as well as high end residential customers.

A new owner could increase sales by providing service to additional commercial clients, including apartment buildings and food service establishments.
