Home Prep

Garrett started working for a local cleaning and restoration company in 1988 where he began his life long journey into the professional cleaning and disaster restoration industry. In the next twenty seven years Garrett gained a vast amount of experience and knowledge on all the systems of a home from structural to environmental and much more. Having started out leaning how to clean carpet professionally and attending IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification) classes gaining certifications in water damage restoration and fire damage restoration as a base to build on. Garrett eventually started his own company and grew into many other services along with recently passing the New York State exam for Licensed Home Inspector. In 1997 Garrett became a partner in American Cleaning. Providing services to residential, commercial and industrial customers. American Cleaning Team was a professional cleaning company and offered the services of carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, exterior pressure washing, water, fire and smoke damage restoration, air duct cleaning, odor control and janitorial. In 2003 Garrett took over full ownership and changed the name to Indoor Air Quality Solutions (IAQS). As IAQS Garrett continued to offer all previous services and expanded Mold Remediation, tile and grout cleaning, media blasting, HVAC Systems Air Purification Systems, Thermal Imaging Inspection, Environmental Consulting, Structural Repairs, Drywall installation, Drywall finishing, Painting, Insurance Estimating. As time went on Garrett continued to expand the services provided feeling that the name IAQS no longer suited the all the different services provided he change the name to Squeaky Clean. Squeaky Clean continues to offer all previous services and also does remodeling and repairs from something as small as a bathroom floor tile job to a complete remodeling of entire home. Squeaky Cleans customers loved the vast amount of services offered so much they continued to request other services such as snow plowing, lawn care, yard clean up, property maintenance, clean outs, roof cleaning, gutter cleaning, roof repair, electrical, plumbing, foundation repairs, and other unique services. One day Garrett received a call from a real estate agent to give a quote on cleaning a residence for a client of that was moving in from Texas with his family. Garrett arrived at the home to provide the free estimate. The home was empty and when he walked into the home he found areas of microbial contamination and other issues that caused alarm. Garrett immediately contacted the new owner of the home and provided his findings and estimate of several thousand dollars. The client hired Squeaky Clean to provide the services and still uses Squeaky Clean today for many services. This story was the beginning of Home Prep. Garrett was glad to be of service for his client but he felt bad for his client and his family these were additional cost that they incurred after the purchase of a new home that could have been avoided had the home inspector did a more thorough inspection. Garrett was curious how all of the problems with this home were missed so he invested the time and money to become a home inspector.
