AJM Services

AJM Services works out of Dorchester, handling the jobs homeowners put off — a chaotic basement, a garage packed floor to ceiling, a carpet nobody wants to deal with. The company says it's family-owned and has been at it 16 years, according to its BBB and HomeAdvisor profiles, based at 26 Hancock Street. The clearest signal is how customers describe the actual work. On Thumbtack, where it's rated 4.7 from 66 ratings and has been named a Top Pro in 2024 and 2021, reviewers keep landing on the same thing: speed without a rushed feel. One customer said the crew organized and cleaned a "chaotic, messy basement" in three hours — a job they'd expected to take two days. Another, describing a 2025 job in an 1895 Victorian, said the crew tore out rotted linoleum and cleared mortar debris from an unfinished basement and left it looking better than they thought possible. Garage cleanouts get similar praise — floors washed, every surface wiped down, crews arriving the day after being contacted. The record runs deeper than the recent reviews suggest: a 2019 review, where the company is listed as AJM Janitorial Services at the same Dorchester address, praised a carpet cleaning job on especially soiled carpet and said the reviewer would recommend the crew to friends and family. That's the oldest written account on file, and the name split across directories is worth noting, though the shared address ties it to the same business. Before booking, it's worth knowing that not every Thumbtack rating is glowing — about 8% of its 66 ratings land at one or two stars, though no specifics from those reviews are published. The BBB gives it an A+ letter grade, but the business isn't BBB-accredited, which is a membership status rather than a mark against its work. This is a good call for a basement or garage that's gotten away from you, or a one-off deep clean — the kind of job where a homeowner wants it handled fast without supervising it. Its owner, Adilson Gomes, has passed Thumbtack's background check, and the company says it offers service in Spanish, per HomeAdvisor. Confirm which name it operates under before booking, given the AJM Services / AJM Janitorial Services split across its listings.
