Carpet Cleaning  :  Carpet Repair
Air Duct Cleaning  :  Tile Grout Cleaning  :  Upholstery Cleaning

Just as the name implies, we started out as a Father and Son Carpet Cleaning team with a mission. We knew that for all of the nationally franchised and colorful carpet cleaning vans you see on the road, not many were driven by technicians who actually put their family name on the line with every job, but we sure did! 

It was the little things that made the difference at first. Sure, our prices are always just as good as the big boys, that’s just smart business, but there was always something more, and it’s that something that has made us one of the most successful carpet cleaning and repair companies in the Washington DC area. 

It was quite simple then, and it still is today. To begin, we arrive at your home knowing that if we impress you enough you’ll invite us back again and again in the years to come. In fact, we’re so good at this we rely on it! More than half of our business is past clients calling for a fresh clean to start their year. 

We know that nothing aggravates us more than the infamous hidden charges of carpet cleaning companies, and that’s why you’ll never see any from us. You’ll always get the best price without any extra or hidden fees, period. 

Last but not least, and we know this sounds like a cliché, but we treat your home just like it’s ours, and in a way, it is. As longtime residents and parents here in the area, we know just about every street, school, and if we have our way, carpet, here in town. To us, you’re family, and that means we always go the extra mile.

I began as a General Contractor in 1979. It didn't take long to feel a lack of satisfaction in being a General Contractor i.e."Jack of all Trades", so the need to narrow things down to one field of expertise became obvious. It really wasn't a difficult decision for me and I chose the job that allowed me to work in an environment I love. Outdoors and Very Physical. Thus I switched from being a general contractor to become "Thos. C. Johnson Roofing".

It has been many years building a reputation and we were finally recognized by Checkbook Magazine. I was both delighted and honored to recieve the highest rating possible.

Sometimes a customer will ask, "what makes your company different"? My answer is simple. I do all the repairs myself and if it is a replacement job, I am not a guy that sells the job, sends out a crew, and then never seen again until it is time to pick up the check. I will be on every job to oversee the progress.

This year I added Solar installations to my business. The science of this is fascinating and since I am already on a roof it was an easy choice to make. I went to a school in San Jose Calif to learn how to design and install Solar arrays on residences. It's been off to a slow start but I anticipate people will soon switch from asking how much will it save me on my electric bill to when can you get started? I teamed up with Bob Blair to help me with the Solar end of the business. Bob will take care of the calls for Solar, and Tom will take care of the calls for Roofing.

Interests
Roofing has gone through many transitions since I started in 1979. In 1979, the life of a shingle was good for 15 years. Then the manufacturers came out with a 20 year shingle. Now there is nothing less than 25 years and some shingles are even given a "lifetime" warranty. Improvements are constantly being made to the materials and they now make a solar reflective shingle available in a wide range of colors.
