Default Desmond Harris - Covenant - Pavers/Dryer Vent

There have been numerous prior threads praising Desmond Harris, Covenant Janitorial, for his quality of work, ethics, and reasonable costs. We just had him out for several projects and he again exceeded our expectations. What a quality man he is.

Dryer Vent cleaning.... $55; we had it done 6 years ago and let it go too long. It's amazing how much lint gets trapped in the tube and the vent. We will probably do it every 2-3 years now.

Paver cleaning/sealing - again, he does an excellent job cleaning and perfect application of the sealer at a price far more reasonable than the paver companies.

Painted Driveway/Lanai clean/seal .... he cleaned our painted lanai so well I thought he had already done the seal. Once sealed, it looked even better.

He is getting ready to start doing summer kitchen/outside grill cleaning services.

I also suggested he think about a cleaning service that rejuvenates faded bronze lanai/birdcage frames.

You will see many accolades for Desmond Harris on TOTV...and, they are well-earned.

For appointments, call his receptionist at 352-308-9243. To reach Desmond for a quote, call 352-308-7457.

We have used Desmond annually to do our dryer vent and replace our fire alarm batteries for several years now. I cannot recommend him enough, very professional.

We've had Desmond Harris for our dryer vent cleaning, which we do yearly, and do our window washing, inside and out. In the spring, we'll have him back to re-seal our painted driveway and walkway. He's a wonderful man with excellent workers and a great worth ethic. I highly recommend him.

We had Desmond Harris clean and seal our pavers a few weeks ago. They look like new. He takes pride in his work. He's the best!

Desmond has done my dryer vent cleaning for a few years and I agree that he is top quality. I didn't realize he did these other things. Do you mind sharing what he charges for driveway paver sealing? Thanks. You can message me if you prefer.

CE.... He charged $350 for driveway pavers....might be more if you have an extra large driveway but not much more.

Desmond has done my dryer vent for years, also my vent duct cleaning. Last year he sealed my driveway and also washed the ugly irrigation water stain from my house. Since I am a widow and alone, he also helps me do things like get stuff out of the attic, change batteries and once even moved some furniture for me. Oh, he also replace the plastic hoses on my washing machine with stainless steel ones. He is a jewel.

What else can be said in support of Desmond Harris? He just finished up cleaning and sealing our pavers and cleaning our dryer vent. He is very thorough, neat and cares about his customers. He's an honorable and ambitious young man who appears to be inventing his business as the needs arise.

I highly recommend Desmond Harris and his business, Covenant Janitorial, LLC.
As his magnetic card says, "Where Going the Extra Mile Matters."

(352) 308-9243 to make an appointment

Default Another "Yes" vote for Desmond Harris

His company cleaned my dryer vent in November very nicely. Two days ago the vent hose popped off the back of the dryer and I couldn't reach it to reattach it. Mr. Harris himself came out very promptly and reattached the hose for me. Very quick and polite service! Thank you!

Absolutely agree with all the positive comments about Mr Harris and his company.

Also, a couple of years ago when he was cleaning out our dryer vent I asked him about cleaning our grill on our summer kitchen. He and his helper did a fantastic job cleaning the grill and charged us $75. Much better job than my wife & I have done on that grill.

We, too, cannot say enough good things about Desmond and are very happy to hear that he's going to start cleaning grills.

Sometimes quality work and ethical business practices run in the family. His cousin is Shon Roberts of Five Star Golf Carts.

Whatever your task, you can't do any better than these fine gentlemen.
