Restif was started in 1983 as a sole proprietorship. The purpose of Restif is to maximize the shareholder's return on their labor and is therefore our company is limited equity. The co-op is led by a five person board of directors. The directors have staggered, three year terms so there is always someone with experience on the board.

You may not think of Restif as a carpet cleaner because we have not advertised in the past. But we have been cleaning carpets in residences as well as business for many years. We use truck mounted, hot water extraction equipment because it can handle all situations, it requires fewer chemicals to do the job and it leaves the carpet residue free so it stays clean longer.

They produce excellent results; employee ownership means the cleaners are treated fairly and make fair wage - what's not to like. It's pretty hard to last 40 years as a small business unless there is some good customer value produced on a regular basis. I've used their services for the the last couple decades and couldn't be happier.

I've been relying on Restif for years to wash the windows in my 2-story home in Arcata. They do a great job and are easy to work with, reliable & thorough. I recently had them power wash my aggregate patio and driveway and the outcome was truly amazing. Support excellent work with a collectively owned company by calling them.

Restif has a good carpet cleaning service. Gary is the person that came to my place and did the job. It wasn't a one time job it was more of a they had to come back and redo the carpets 3 times because the smell wasn't going away. Overall they were happy to schedule me in every time I called back saying the smell reappeared and now it's finally gone so it was the carpets and not the machines. Thorough work done. Good rates.

I have used the window cleaning/cobwebbing for several years now. They always send two workers who are friendly to me and my dogs! [that is most important!] and respectful of my home. The do a great job with my 3-level home, clerestory windows, skylights, and deck glass. They are very careful with their ladders and Art even let me know some issues with my roof while he was up there!
Much appreciated and he did not have to say anything but I was glad he did. They also 'cobweb' my outside roll down shutters as well as the entire house, if requested at the time the appt is scheduled. After they leave, my windows always look brand new and sparkle.until the next storm, of course, lol! They have a forever customer with me. I have also used them in the past for roof and gutter cleaning and I am equally pleased with that service. I also appreciate the fact that they are employee-owned.

We used the window cleaning service. The two workers were friendly and efficient, and did a great job on the windows. We have three floors in our house with four skylights and several high windows. Two windows in particular were difficult to reach but they exerted the extra effort to ensure that those windows were cleaned well too.

Restif cleaned the gutters on our two-story Victorian in Ferndale. They did an outstanding job. The process was seamless and effortless. They cleaned all of the gunk out of the gutters and they cleaned the black mold and dirt off all of the surface of the white gutters. They are clean, they look fantastic and we are very pleased. The price was so reasonable, I will not think twice about using them again. I also highly recommend them for gutter cleaning

Hired Restif for window washing after moving into a new house with very dirty windows. Estimate and scheduling was straightforward. The guys showed up on time, and were respectful and thorough. Note that you have to pay extra for cleaning the tracks and for any razorblade paint removal. My only complaint is their equipment smelled like mildew, and left a slight mildewy smell throughout the house! (I'm way more sensitive to that particular smell than most other people.) But my windows are sparkling clean.

Restif sent cleaners to my rental for a post move out cleaning and the techs broke the kitchen faucet by being too rough with it. Restif refused to pay for the resulting plumbing bill and claimed that the faucet was broken when they arrived, despite the fact that the move out inspection did not show any injury to the faucet or leakage- just a dirty unit.
The plumber who replaced the faucet said that it had been jerked around as it did not show signs of corrosion. I talked with Brian, the office manager mainly, however also spoke with Art the operations manager, and Melissa the office manager. I would stay away from Restif if you are a property owner, as they do not take ownership for issues their tech cleaners cause and condone yelling at their customers. Dealing with Brian over the phone was not fun and I will never do business with Restif again.

Because this company supports infidelity between nataly a married woman and bryan a co worker of her's. they also support belittling of employee's making them feel stupid for not doing things fast enough hard enough or good enough. i have witnessed chia being very humiliating to her employee's. also the office people who answer phones all day and do not work nearly as hard as the grunt employee's who go out and work very hard get three to 4 times as much patronage. example reg employee's get about 800-1k a month patronage while office people get 5k-10k a month. all while the grunt employees have to suffer in the weather

Professional delivery of and pride in their services from end to end. We are very pleased with their attention to detail and their thorough approach. Keeping up with the animal dander and hair from our pets is tough because we work full time. The horde of dusty bunnies have been eradicated. Restif's staff knows how to clean the right way. There are tons of people who don't know how to clean. We have contracted for residential cleaning every two weeks. Our home looks and smells fantastic.

I had my windows and tracks cleaned and outside cobwebs cleared. The workers were here on time and cleaned efficiently and thoroughly. The price was reasonable. I was extremely pleased with the results and will schedule regular work. I had hoped to find someone for regular cleaning of the inside of the house, but felt the cost was too high for the general housework.

There were a few, minor misunderstandings that we worked out on the front end. After that, all was well. One of my cats went on a spraying spree while I was on a trip and the pet caretaker did not notice, which meant all the urine had dried on four pieces of furniture (and yes, the cat is alive which makes me a saint). I still don't know how Restif got all that urine out of the upholstery, but I am grateful.
My daughter who has a very sensitive nose could not detect any urine after Restif completed their work. They also did a great job with my windows. I will continue to use them.

I am completely satisfied with my Restif residential cleaning service. I appreciate that they were willing to work out the exact services and frequency I desired. The cleaners have been friendly and 100% reliable, and have cheerfully received feedback about how I want things done. The office staff is professional and efficient, and I really like their business model of employee-owners. I can recommend Restif to people who want reliable service with no hassles.

The process of getting an estimate for the pressure washing of my house and fence was quick and easy. The price was the best I was able to find and although I did have to wait a few weeks for the work to be done, it was totally worth the wait. I never actually saw the work being done since I was away at work at the time, but when I returned there was no sign that anyone had even been there, except for the impressively cleaned surfaces of my home and fence.
They were very thorough and got all the nooks and crannies. They even came back a couple weeks later to clean a section that faces my neighbors house that I forgot to tell them about. Great work folks, way to operate a company! The icing on the cake is that the company is EMPLOYEE OWNED.

My 83 year old mother hired this company to clean her windows. They did a good job on the actual window glass but cleaning the tracks is not included in the job. They climbed up, took the screens off, washed the windows, wiped the sill being careful to not cross the line over into a track (note* wiping does not equal cleaning), wiped the outside of the screen - pushing the dust into the mesh - but not bothering to wipe the inside of the screen. Then told her they'd be happy to come out and finish for another $35. an hour per person. How much you wanna bet they'd send two people?
