Before & After Gallery
Real jobs from real Central Valley homes — carpet, tile and grout, upholstery, and stain treatment. No stock photos.
I'm Michael Recek, and I clean carpet, tile, upholstery, and grout across Fresno, Clovis, and the Central Valley myself. Every before-and-after on this page is a real job from a real local home or business — not a stock photo, not a licensed image, not a competitor's work I borrowed. I take these shots on-site, before I pack up the van. When you see heavy-traffic lanes come back, a Saltillo floor brighten, or a red sofa freshen up, that's my ProChem hot-water extraction and my rotary tile tool doing the work.
I'll also be straight about what these photos mean for your home. Most soil, spots, and traffic wear respond beautifully to a proper deep clean — pre-vacuum, pre-treat, extract, groom. But some things are set in for good: bleach spots, dye stains, old pet damage that reached the pad, and sun-faded fibers can't always be reversed, and I won't pretend otherwise. What you see here is honest, typical work — and at your free estimate I'll tell you exactly which category your problem area falls into.

Every Photo Here Is a Real Central Valley Job
A lot of cleaning sites fill their galleries with polished stock images or dramatic photos pulled off the internet. I don't. These are actual homes and businesses in Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Sanger, and the surrounding towns — carpet I pre-vacuumed and extracted, tile and grout I ran with the MH Pro Force 360, and upholstery I hand-treated. The "wet line" shots, where one half is done and the other isn't, are my favorites, because there's nothing to argue with: same carpet, same lighting, one pass of real cleaning.
I want you to look at these with a clear head. Results depend on the fiber, the age of the soil, and how long a spot has been sitting — a fresh coffee spill and a five-year-old pet accident are two very different jobs. What I can promise is that the photos are honest and the work is mine. If your situation looks like one of these, I'll tell you what to realistically expect before I ever start.

Gallery FAQs
Every photo here is real. I take them on-site with my own camera during actual jobs in Fresno, Clovis, and the surrounding Central Valley towns — no stock photography, no licensed images, and nothing pulled from the internet. The carpet, tile, upholstery, and stains you see are work I did myself.
Often, yes — but I won't promise it, because every job is different. Results depend on your carpet's fiber and age, how deep the soil is, and how long spots have been sitting. A fresh spill cleans up far more easily than a stain that's been ground in for years. At your free estimate I'll look at your specific problem areas and tell you honestly what to expect.
Yes to both. Most everyday soil, traffic lanes, and spots respond very well to a proper deep clean. But some damage is permanent: bleach spots, certain dye stains, sun-faded fibers, and old pet accidents that soaked into the pad can't always be fully reversed. I'll always tell you upfront if something falls into that category rather than overselling the result.
You'll see carpet cleaning (including heavy-traffic lanes and whole rooms), tile and grout restoration like Saltillo and bathroom floors, upholstery such as microfiber sofas, and pet and stain treatment. These cover the main services I run for Central Valley homes and businesses, using ProChem hot-water extraction and my rotary tile tool.
Absolutely. The gallery is a sample, not everything I've done. If you have a specific concern — a pet area, a particular tile, a stubborn stain — give me a call at (216) 483-2200 or request a free estimate, and I can talk you through similar jobs and what a realistic result looks like for your home.
