Hi, I'm Josh, and I started Surface Service, LLC.

This company started thanks to a set of clogged and frozen gutters on my own home, and a $2100 quote to get them cleaned. That seemed a little excessive, so I did it myself and realized others might appreciate a cheaper option to clean, maintain, and repair theirs, as well.

But wait, why were my gutters so bad to begin with? To explain, I have to go back a bit further. After growing up in Los Angeles and spending the first half of my life working in the corporate world, I moved to Moorhead to be closer to family and build a different kind of life: one focused on home and community. With that came a new set of challenges: how in the world do I deal with all of this snow, ice, and leaves?

Luckily, I’ve been blessed with a wonderful condition known as ADHD, along with a sense of stubborn perfectionism. And so my project started the same way most of my hobbies do: with a deep dive. When something grabs my attention, I really commit to learning it inside and out.

So while I admit I don’t have decades of contractor experience, I make up for that with an obsessive attention to detail, a drive to do things right the first time, and the kind of work ethic that doesn’t quit until the job is done to standard - mine and yours.

Whether it’s clearing gutters before the freeze, cleaning carpets until they look new, or scrubbing your window screens and washing your skylights, I treat every job the same way I’d treat work at my own home: no shortcuts, no half-measures.

I also believe in straightforward pricing. I aim to quote conservatively up front, and when I see the job in person, I look for ways to lower the price, not raise it. You can also check out the Pricing section for a deeper look at how I quote jobs and why.

I’d also like to quickly mention Surface Forward - a donation-funded service I’m launching alongside Surface Service. Surface Forward will provide the same types of cleaning, maintenance, and repair services to those in need, 100% free.

$5 from the proceeds of every job completed by Surface Service is donated to Surface Forward. For more information or to help sponsor the program, check it out here.

Surface Service is just starting, and I’m proud of the direction it’s heading in. If you’re looking for someone who communicates clearly, respects your time, and treats your home with the care it deserves, I’d be proud to earn your business.
