About
I, AJS began my career in 2007 working for a Janitorial Supply Company. Which in turn led to building a strong foundation in floor care systems and becoming a trusted resource for both clients and industry professionals. In 2014, I founded AJS – A Step Above The Rest with a clear vision: to deliver a higher standard of service rooted in precision, consistency, and excellence. At AJS, we provide a tailored, white-glove experience—understanding that every space requires a refined, detail-driven approach. We treat each project with the utmost care, ensuring results that not only meet expectations, but elevate them. For those who value quality, discretion, and exceptional results, we are committed to delivering service that is truly a step Above The Rest.

Great experience overall. They were responsive from the beginning, understood exactly what I needed, and were flexible with scheduling. The pricing was reasonable, and they did an excellent job sanitizing and cleaning the carpet.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Pricing is based off of sq. footage and product cost. I usually can work with a customer on price.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I like to talk to the customer and get a better idea about the scale of work that needs to be done. Pictures are great and or a look over of the job that needs to be done is great as well.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have a BS in business marketing from Indiana State University. I also worked for a Janitorial Supply company called Coastwide Laboratories based out of Seattle and Tacoma Washington for 10 years. I learned so much on different floor care and carpet cleaning techniques. I also learned about how to properly use disinfectants and other chemicals. All of the knowledge I have gained gives me an advantage when talking to potential customers cause I've been trained inside and outside of the field by some of the best trainers and have cleaned some of the dirtiest carpets and hard floors around!
