I make sure every job is done the right way and is cleaned to your satisfaction.




What our customers are saying:

Around the House Services did an awesome job on my vehicle's carpet. I almost bought new carpet because it is old and was not well maintained by the previous owner. My car is 25 years old and the carpet looks brand new thanks to Around the House Services! -Chris


Professional & affordable! I highly recommend this company! -Rhoda


On behalf of various school administrators within Chesapeake Public Schools, I wish to express thanks for a job well done. Last summer we contracted "Around the House Services" to clean problem carpets in selected school offices and media centers. In talking with the administrators, each felt that the work was completed in a very professional and timely manner with results much better than expected.
Based on this experience, Chesapeake Public Schools anticipates contacting you on an as needed basis to handle selected carpet cleaning needs as they arise. In addition to what we feel was very fair pricing, your willingness to respond and work around the school system schedule was greatly appreciated.
Once again, thanks for a job well done! -Richard L. MacDonald, Director Chesapeake Public Schools, Department of School Plants


It is rare that I have an opportunity to write a letter of commendation to a vendor. I have been in the hospitality business since 1991. In that time I can count on one hand the times I felt compelled to write to an owner of a company and relate my extreme satisfaction.
I have had several opportunities to not only use your services but also speak with your office staff. My needs have always been addressed quickly and professionally. If you were not able to get back in touch with me in a timely manner, I was always given an estimated time.
I find your company to be hospitality oriented, professional, efficient and most of all very effective in your service. I am well pleased with the carpets. I look forward to you taking care of our tile needs as well and am sure you will be called often to provide services for my Hampton Inn. -JakeLynn E. Richards, General Manager, Virginia Beach Hampton Inn, 5793 Greenwich Road
