On Google it holds 5 stars from 188 ratings. A recent customer said Max and Mario cleaned their entire HVAC system, bathroom vents and dryer vent while working around children and a dog. A customer who recently purchased a home built in the 1950s said its ducts had never been cleaned, and that the team took care to protect floors, walls and furniture and showed before and after photos. A recent customer wrote that the job was completed in less than 4 hours, after an estimate over the phone and an appointment within a week. A 2026 customer said they were done in about 5 hours for a 3,000 square foot home and that it cost under $1,000. A 2023 customer said a crew of three arrived at 8:30 a.m., stayed until after 1 p.m., and also replaced the dryer vent connector. A 2023 customer said that a few weeks after the cleaning, Pedro stopped by to examine the situation and make a repair that had nothing to do with the duct cleaning. A 2025 customer called Pedro the proprietor and said the company came recommended by their HVAC pro. A 2022 customer said floors, including a son's bed, were caked with dust after the crew left and the utility room was not shop vacuumed; that customer wrote that Pedro later came by, apologized and honored his money back guarantee with a 100% refund of the $750 cost. A 2021 customer said two employees did the work without describing what they would do or the results, sent no estimate before the appointment, and charged more than twice the $349 whole-house price a competitor was advertising.
