Why Do Some Jacksonville Carpet Cleaners Get Carpet Too Wet?

Mar 20, 2015 11:42:09 AM

Jacksonville_Carpet_CleanersIt’s a terrible feeling to step onto wet carpet after the carpet cleaners you hired have already driven away. Carpet that gets too wet subsequently takes too long to dry, and in the meantime the carpet fibers can become damaged. Good professional carpet cleaners have been trained to know the perfect amount of water and cleaning solution to get your carpet extremely clean. Just as importantly, they know how to extract as much moisture as possible from your carpet so that it dries quickly and completely. Unfortunately, there are many incompetent carpet cleaning companies in town with improperly trained technicians and faulty equipment. Know how to avoid such companies and you’ll keep your home and carpet safe.

Let’s Face It - Carpet Cleaners Are Hard To Trust

Feb 20, 2015 10:49:00 AM

CarpetWandCarpet cleaning companies have the reputation of being tough, pushy, and delivering poor quality customer service and an even poorer carpet cleaning job. For example, some companies will buy the cheap cleaners and detergents in order to save on their bottom line. These cleaners leave residue and soap in your carpet, which attract dirt and dust to the fibers, leaving it dirtier than before. Those same companies often choose to forego the neutralizing rinse because of its cost, even though it is a crucial step in ensuring the carpet is thoroughly clean.

Feb 6, 2015 3:42:19 PM

Screen_Shot_2015-02-06_at_3.38.04_PMThis is the time of year that we begin to notice the areas of our house that need to be cleaned. Our cool, damp Florida winters create the perfect environment for mildew to grow on nearly any surface. Dirt and grime appear anywhere and everywhere, including on your roof and the siding of your house. Mold can accumulate between the bricks or pavers on your porch and driveway, and salt and sand build up on the deck and patio. The solution to each of these problems is pressure washing, but which pressure cleaning technique do you choose?

What About Window Wax?

Jan 15, 2015 12:33:00 PM

UntitledWindows look their best when they are completely clean, with no residue left behind. This seems obvious, yet too often a window cleaning company will offer to apply a wax product to window glass that has just been cleaned. The claim is that the wax allows windows to stay cleaner longer by protecting the surface, when in reality, the wax is a residue that will attract dirt and dust and leave a dull haze on your newly cleaned windows. For truly clean and clear windows, forget about the wax and hire the window cleaning professionals with the best quality cleaning formula!

First Coast Home Pros Joins The Jacksonville Jaguars All Community Team

Dec 11, 2014 10:55:00 AM

act_logo_pngFirst Coast Home Pros is proud to announce that we have become a part of the Jacksonville Jaguars All Community Team. The All Community Team is comprised of a select few Northeast Florida companies that have been handpicked by the Jaguars based on a shared interest in community involvement. The All Community Team features partnerships between these local companies and individual Jaguars players. First Coast Home Pros has partnered with Cecil Shorts III, star wide receiver for the Jaguars and longtime supporter of community programs for children. Together we will help purchase Jaguars game tickets for more than 400 charitable beneficiaries, including the United Way of Northeast Florida ‘Achievers For Life’ program.


Achievers For Life is an initiative that works to prevent middle school students in Duval county from dropping out of school. The program was developed and funded by the United Way of Northeast Florida, along with Jewish Family and Community Services and Communities In Schools in Jacksonville. At-risk students are identified based on excessive absences and low GPAs, then matched with an Achievers For Life volunteer. The volunteers provide mentoring and tutoring, and ultimately work with the students through graduation.


CecilShortsThe Achievers For Life initiative and Cecil Shorts’ interest in community involvement are well matched. In October, Mr. Shorts partnered with the United Way of Northeast Florida, joining them at West Jacksonville Elementary School to celebrate the Hometown Huddle day. During this event, the school’s playground was refurbished, and Mr. Shorts spent the day talking with the students and playing with them at recess. His continued partnership with the Achievers For Life program emphasizes his interest in community involvement. Mr. Shorts said he is “proud to partner with United Way of Northeast Florida to help encourage academic success and keep kids on track to graduation.”


For Jacksonville Jaguars fans, Cecil Shorts III continues to be one of the most exciting players to watch. In 2012, he led the team with seven touchdowns, five of which were over 40 yards. He also led the team in receiving yards for a total of 979, and in yards per reception, with a 17.8 average. The following year he led the team with a career-high 66 catches over a total of 777 yards, and in only 13 games. He continues to set records for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and is a key player for the team just as he is for the All Community Team!


The All Community Team represents a united effort to improve the community we live in. Cecil Shorts III and the Jacksonville Jaguars along with the United Way of Northeast Florida and Achievers For Life demonstrate commitment to community involvement, and First Coast Home Pros is proud to join them on the All Community Team!
