I first hired Kurt to do a privacy fence for me which unfortunately we could not get a permit for so we had him stain our deck instead. He advised us of the best stain to go with and made sure we knew and understood everything about the process. Our home is only a year old but it was time to get the deck protected and he made sure this was long term. The deck is just beautiful. It stands out so much in our neighborhood. Kurt was quick, efficient, timely and just did top notch work. I have seen his other work that he's done on pictures as well and its all excellent. Beyond all of this, Kurt helped me with lawn tips and installed my lawn striping kit free of charge...

My name is Armando Didovic and i am the operations/safety manager for M&D Expedited Services LLC out of Waterloo, IA. We are a transportation company and just recently moved into a bigger office as our business is growing. As we all know when you move into a new area of work some work needs to be done. We found AJ's Cleaning and Restoration on Yelp and have heard from other businesses that the work they do is amazing. I got a hold of AJ and he was very professional and polite over the phone. AJ and his dad drove 2 hours to Waterloo from Des Moines on a Saturday to clean our carpets that were pretty run down from the previous business. I opened up the office door and let them go to work, when i came back to the office about 2 hours later the 1600 Sq office looked like it had new carpets put in. Now only were the carpets clean beyond my expectation but they also smelled like new and the amazing smell filled the entire office. We will get our carpets cleaned again right before Winter and once during Winter from snowfall getting dragged in and we will not consider using anyone else other then AJ's Cleaning and Restoration. Their service is unbelievable and very professional and i would recommend everyone and anyone to use their service. read more

My name is Jessica S. a few months ago AJ did some work for us... We had a little incident where cranberry juice was spilled on our living-room carpet, after looking around, and calling a few places to come and clean the carpet in the living room, we were disappointed. They all seemed to overcharge, and could not come right away. I came across AJ's company on Yelp, and called he was very helpful, and came right away, and cleaned the carpet. My husband was so impressed that he asked AJ to clean all the carpets in the house. AJ's company is very affordable, and does an amazing job. I definitely plan to call him again in the future, and recommend him to all my friends, and family and other people seeking this kind of help. read more

AJ's Cleaning & Restoration did a wonderful job and helped us get our deposit back! The carpets were new when we moved in two years ago and we thought they were in good shape prior to having them cleaned! Once AJ started cleaning the carpets we could see all the dirt and grime going away and leaving clean white streaks everywhere their tool went! We could not be happier with their services as we were able to save thousands of dollars in replacement cost! I would recommend AJ's Cleaning & Restoration to anyone that needs their carpets cleaned! read more
