3 Real Lakewood Jobs and What They Cost
1. Five-Bedroom Townhouse, Same Day After Closing: $299
The new owners closed on a Lakewood townhouse that had been left with heavy soil on every floor and pet stains in several rooms. Their moving truck was due the next morning. Our truck pulled up 100 minutes after they called. We did dry soil removal, an alkaline pre-spray, and enzyme treatment on the pet areas we'd mapped with UV light. Then came counter-rotating brush (CRB) agitation, truckmount hot water extraction, and hand-tool extraction on every stair tread and riser. We finished that afternoon. The total for five bedrooms, the stairs, and pet treatment was $299, and the family moved in the next morning. Read the full townhouse job.
2. Recurring Pet Urine Stain, Sixth Avenue West Estates: $149
A repeat customer near the Golden border kept seeing the same stain come back weeks after cleanings in one stretch of bedroom carpet. We checked the backing and pad with a moisture meter, mapped the contamination with UV light, and gave the enzyme pre-treatment its full dwell time. Then we extracted with the truckmount at 200–230°F, following the IICRC S100 standard. The staining lifted completely. Job total: $149. See how we found the source.
3. Custom Sofa and Two Chairs, Applewood: $150–$200
An Applewood homeowner bought a handmade sofa on Facebook Marketplace, and it came with no fabric code tag. We tested a hidden spot and confirmed the fabric was W/S. Then we cleaned the sofa and two matching chairs with a light, pH-matched pre-treatment and low-moisture hand extraction. None of the three pieces shrank, changed color, or changed texture. The total was $150–$200 for all three pieces, with no upcharge for the fabric assessment. Read the upholstery job.

| Lakewood job | Scope | Price | What drove the price |

Where the Value Is
A low price from a franchise doesn't help much if the stain comes back or extra charges show up when the crew gets to your door. In Lakewood, value means:
- Upfront pricing: the $119 package and the $4 stair rate are set before we start.
- Diagnosis first: UV light and moisture-meter checks keep you from paying for treatment you don't need.
- Truckmount hot water extraction: run to the IICRC S100 standard.
- The owner on the job: Colorado Choice is owner-operated. The Lakewood townhouse job ended with an owner walkthrough.

How We Know Lakewood
Lakewood housing runs from the 1950s originals in Applewood to new construction in Belmar. We clean in Green Mountain, Bear Creek, Union Hills, Applewood, Belmar, and the neighborhoods in between. Entry carpets in Green Mountain often need a pre-spray for foothills clay. Lakewood also has more rentals than many nearby Jefferson County cities, so a lot of our work there is move-out and move-in turnovers for property managers.
