As a Realtor, I understand the importance of having a clean looking home when you are ready to sell it. Josh always does great work with every house he cleans and makes sure the customer is satisfied every time. Josh's services help me to better market the properties, and that's worth way more than the cost for his services. If you are looking for an affordable, quality house-cleaning or roof cleaning, you're in the right place! Also check out their concrete cleaning...blew my mind!

Josh cleaned the back fence and our LP tank at our church which was way overdue. It now looks awesome! He is very personable and gets the job well done. Would highly recommend.

Professional team and easy to work with! They listen to what you want and then give you options to get that accomplished. I like their estimate as it itemizes services so that you can see what each different service costs. We did a holiday light install. They did a beautiful job. The best thing was that they came back and removed everything and we didn't have to! Now we have an estimate for house cleaning, which will be done as soon as the weather and their schedule allow. Great, professional folks who value a job done right. Give them a try!

We had our deck, playground, and picnic table washed and it looks and feels like we got completely new everything. The difference is night and day. Quick, friendly, and efficient.

Mom plus- My kids watched as the super water guns went to town on our deck. They were entertained all morning and I drank my coffee in peace. WIN.

Thanks so much!

My better half, Melissa, is the Principal for Tri-County School in Murphysboro. Our oldest son, Jack, turned 5 in January and our youngest son, Silas, will turn 3 in July.

 

In 2014 I decided to follow in the footsteps of my grandfather, Don Judge. He started his own service business when he was 35 years old. “Judge Antennae & Alarms”, in Olney, IL, was the area’s household name for antennae and alarm installation. I’ll never forget when he told me that he “hadn’t worked a day since he was 35”. This is a man that would climb 50-100 foot antennae towers on a daily basis to solve his customer’s problems with their TV reception. He loved his small service business so much, that it never felt like work to him.

 

I, too, love what I do. Providing these services to my community, meeting new people and developing life-long relationships with my customers give me a great deal of pride. Thank you for considering Judge Services. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your home like it is my own.

Frequently Asked Questions

You do not need to be home for an estimate or for us to complete the work. We will get everything cleaned up exactly like we said we would. We will send you a text message when we are on the way to your project and when we’re finished. Knowing when someone is on your property, especially when you’re not home, gives you peace of mind and that makes us happy!

We accept personal check, cash and all major credit cards. Payment is due upon completion of the work. So, if you won’t be home, just let us know and we can email you the invoice. This makes it easy and simple for you to pay online.

While you do not need to be present for us to do the cleaning, we do ask that you go through this checklist before we arrive.

  • Close Windows and Doors
  • Please have your vehicles parked away from the areas to be cleaned (20-30' from the house). The end of the driveway or in the street is fine.
  • Pick up doggy-doo if possible.
  • Keep children and pets indoors during the duration of our cleaning
  • Unlock any backyard gates.
  • If possible, remove any flags, doormats, cushions, bird feeders, hanging plants, etc. that you'd prefer to move and place them indoors or in the garage. We can move most items and place them on the lawn while we clean and replace them afterwards.
  • Make sure your outside water source is on.
  • Let us know if there is a water source that we should not use.
  • If you’re not able to be home for the job, please leave a check in a privately disclosed location.
  • Let us know if there are any areas of concern. (Leaky problems areas, a window that doesn’t seal well, etc.).
  • If you're concerned about door seals, you can place a towel on the inside of any exterior doors.

Yes, we can work in the rain! It can be quite nice to let Mother Nature help us rinse! If it is storming too hard we may have to postpone or reschedule.

We try to reserve our weekends for family time and relaxation. However, sometimes we have to work around the business hours of our valued clients.

We know you’re busy and you don’t have time to sit around your house in the middle of the day while we do our work. That’s no problem! Most of the time, our customers are either at work or away from home while we make their property shine. This is why we send you text notifications when we are “On our way” to your job and another text when “We are all finished up!”. This way you know when someone is on your property, even when you’re not.

Great question! Yes, we are fully insured with Worker’s Compensation and $2 Million in Commercial Liability.

Judge Services started in 2014 as a Painting and Pressure Washing company. In 2018 we began focusing on Exterior Cleaning.

Those streaks are actually a living bacteria called “Gleocapsa Magma”. Often referred to as “Black Algae”, this bacteria spreads by air and the critters that run across your roof.

Yes! It will damage it and void your warranty! This is why we never use high pressure for roof cleaning. We use a method called Soft Washing which is not only safe for your shingles, it is the cleaning method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association.

Algae, moss, mold and pretty much any other organic growth love to hang out in cool, damp areas. The north side of a building provides an abundance of shade and moisture. That’s why the “green” is always more prominent on the north side of your house.

Using high pressure to clean your home can absolutely cause damage. Siding can be broken, windows can be cracked and water can be pushed into places you don’t want it to go. Which is why we also Soft Wash all siding, windows and other common home surfaces.

Soft Washing is a cleaning process that utilizes low pressure to deliver a customized cleaning solution, specially blended to meet the demands of each project. It differs from pressure washing in that the cleaning solution is applied at low pressure which will not harm or damage painted surfaces, shingles, wood, or vinyl siding.

The power of chemistry is what makes our Soft Wash process so effective. Different surfaces and different contaminants require different levels of “soft washing”. With each cleaning job we perform, our cleaning solution is custom mixed on-site and applied. We do not have a “one size fits all” approach to cleaning. We will customize a cleaning plan to maximize effectiveness while also keeping your cost as low as possible!

Some surfaces will require pressure to get the maximum “clean” effect. When this is the case, we are fully equipped with the latest in today’s pressure washing technology as well!

Yes, our soaps are eco-friendly and biodegradable. However, they could cause damage if they were used by someone without the proper training or experience. We are certified in Plant and Property Protection and we work around beautiful landscaping every day! We always go above and beyond to make sure your plants are happy and healthy.

We tend to get some warm days scattered throughout our winter and this allows us to clean 12 months out of the year!

Getting your gutters cleaned by professionals is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure your home’s maintenance and upkeep. This is because clogged or blocked gutters can cause serious problems with drainage, flooding, pest infestations, roof damage, and more. The professional team at a gutter cleaning service can thoroughly clean out all debris in the gutter system so that it is functioning properly.

In addition to preventing future problems down the line as mentioned above, regular gutter cleaning has many immediate benefits too. Professionals will be able to inspect your gutters while they’re up on a ladder anyway, so they will also be able to spot any potential issues right away before they become larger problems. Cleaning out leaves and other debris prevents water build-up on your roof which preserves its integrity and keeps it from rotting away prematurely due to pooling water causing mold growth and interior water infiltration too.

Additionally, regular cleanings preserve paint surfaces from premature peeling caused by rain runoff over-saturated with debris still clogging up the system when it comes time for fresh coats of paint for various areas around the house exterior as well as enhance overall curb appeal by leaving pristinely maintained gutters in place year-round free from corrosion buildup or moss/algae growth requiring frequent reapplication of sealants or coatings.

Finding the best window cleaners near you can be a challenging task, but here are some steps that you can take to ensure you get top-notch service.

First, it is important to do your research and read reviews of local window cleaning services. Look for businesses with a good reputation, positive customer feedback, and reasonable pricing. Yelp and Facebook business pages are typically great sources of user reviews as they provide access to an honest look at how customers perceive the quality of service offered by window cleaners in your area.

Second, ask friends or family who has used a window cleaner recently for personal recommendations. This will allow you to gain insight into their experiences with various companies so that you can make an informed decision about which one is the best fit for your needs. Additionally, if you belong to any homeowner associations or neighborhood groups on social media platforms such as NextDoor or Meetup then these could be useful resources too!

Finally, once you've identified several potential candidates for hiring be sure to contact them directly and inquire about their experience level in working with windows as well as what specific tools/chemicals they use when performing cleanses.

Professional window cleaning is essential because it helps extend the lifespan of your windows. Regularly having a professional clean your windows helps to get rid of dirt, grime, hard water deposits, and other pollutants that can wear down the surfaces of your windows over time. Additionally, professional window cleaning increases the energy efficiency of your home by allowing natural light and temperature to enter more easily which reduces air conditioning costs. It also improves safety by preventing ice or frost build-up on the glass in cold climates and ensuring you have clear visibility when driving in icy conditions. Finally, professionally cleaned windows look amazing and make for excellent curb appeal!
