Carpet, upholstery and duct cleaning in Fircrest, WA

About Fircrest

Tacoma is where this company earned its first reviews. It is a city of real neighborhoods — the North End and Stadium District with their turn-of-the-century houses, Proctor, the Hilltop, the East Side, South Tacoma — plus Fife, Fircrest, Ruston and University Place around the edges. Housing is older and more affordable than Seattle, and a huge share of it is rented.

A small, tidy city of 1940s and 50s homes with original hardwood under old carpet and well-loved area rugs. Turn-of-the-century houses in the North End and Old Town have masonry chimneys, original floors and rugs, and ducts added decades after the house was built. The 1940s–60s bungalows across the East Side and South Tacoma have original ductwork and carpet over hardwood. Point Ruston and downtown condos are new construction with roof-vented dryers. University Place and Fircrest are tidy 1960s–90s neighborhoods with well-kept furniture and owners who book yearly.

The seasons in Tacoma

Tacoma gets a bit less rain than Seattle but the same long damp season, and the Puyallup and Tide Flats industrial areas add grit to the air. Chimneys and wood stoves run all winter in the older neighborhoods.

Renters, landlords and turnover

Pierce County is one of the highest-turnover rental markets on the West Coast. Student rentals near UPS and PLU, apartment turnovers, and rental houses with pet histories are steady work.

Locally owned, not a franchise

The national carpet-cleaning brands you see advertised around Pierce County are franchise territories run on a script: a low advertised price, a list of add-ons once the truck is parked, and a technician measured on ticket size. We run 3 vans out of a yard in South Park and a laundromat in Tukwila, and every review we have was earned one Fircrest living room at a time. Local ownership is not a slogan on this site; it is why the phone gets answered on a Sunday.

How we reach Fircrest

Fircrest jobs are usually paired with University Place and West Tacoma. About 35 minutes down I-5 from the yard. A van is in Tacoma nearly every day, and Fife, Milton and Federal Way are on the way.
