Jacksonville air duct cleaningIf you are trying to decide whether or not to have an air duct cleaning service in Jacksonville come to your home and give your ducts a good, thorough cleaning, you may want to consider what might be currently in those ducts. Dust, mold, bugs, vermin and feces can all be currently residing in the duct work that transports the air that you breathe into the inside of your home where you and your loved ones reside. At least once every three to five years a skilled professional should come in to your home to help you improve your indoor air quality as well as help lengthen the life of your HVAC equipment.

Consider your Indoor Air Quality

Traditional daily use of your heating or cooling equipment allows for dust to accumulate inside the ducts and vents of your home. This dust will then pass into the air you and your family is breathing and it can cause an increase in allergies, asthma and even increase the number of illness occurrences in your home. Dust alone will make sneezing, coughing and a runny nose more prevalent in your home. A single, annual cleaning can make a world of a difference.

Tile and Grout Cleaning: It’s the Little Things

Sep 27, 2013 10:10:00 PM

It’s the little things that make life worthwhile, fulfilling, and add joy.

The same can be said for cleaning.
Most individuals clean the big pieces in their homes – furniture, light fixtures, floors – but overlook the small components of those larger pieces – handles, light bulbs, tile and grout. Cleaning these small items are what makes an item truly shine, and what ensures that it’s truly clean in its entirety. There are numerous reasons for and benefits to tile and grout cleaning in Jacksonville.

Tile Cleaning


Most homes contain at least some tile flooring or, at the very least, tile-covered shower and tub walls and floors. The location of tile (floors, showers) often means that it takes the most wear-and-tear. Most individuals clean tile using over-the-counter cleaners and never go further. This is unfortunate because, to keep this tile in the best shape, it’s necessary to invest in a deeper cleaning. Properly and thoroughly cleaning tile surfaces is a three step process – one that our technicians have the necessary equipment and materials to perform and are trained and experienced to complete.

Gutter Cleaning Benefits

Sep 9, 2013 9:42:00 PM

 
I cleaned Rob's Gutters today.  They smelled really bad.Clogged gutters or blocked downspouts can collapse, wash away landscaping, cause water damage, create mold and mildew, and even erode your home’s foundation. Cleaning your gutters, though, requires the risks of climbing onto the roof of your home, precariously cleaning each gutter yourself with whatever tools are handy. As a result, gutter cleaning services are one of the most essential maintenance services available; First Coast Home Pros will do the work for you, including both Jacksonville gutter cleaning and LEAF Relief Gutter Protection, so you won’t have to take on the risks of doing it yourself.

Let Us Do the Hard Work for You


Our cleaning technicians will remove leaves, sticks, and other debris from your gutters by hand. They will then clean downspouts using safe and professional techniques and equipment, and all removed debris will be cleaned up afterwards. Finally, our technicians will use high velocity air movement to clear downspouts, flushing and testing your gutters repeatedly to ensure the flow of water runoff. At the same time, First Coast Home Pros is prepared to remove roof debris, adding years to your roof’s lifespan and preventing future mildew growth. This service is included as a standard feature of our gutter services and may involve the use of low pressure roof cleaning to remove algae streaks and staining or the cleaning of gutter exteriors with pressure washing services.
