Providing professional residential cleaning services since 1978

Thank you for visiting Highland Pro Clean. We are a second generation, family owned and operated business. Kenneth Johansen started this company in 1978, providing quality residential home cleaning. Unfortunately, Ken was diagnosed with cancer in 2011, so he had to leave the day to day business in the hands of his son, Andrew. (The good news: Ken went into full remission after his wife, Gretchen and he completed 2 years of Gerson Therapy!!)

After managing the company on his own for 7 years, in 2018, Andrew decided we needed to simplify. We wanted to provide more customer centered, personal service. It was time for some major changes. We minimized our crew and services, and moved the company. Our desire is to provide you with personal, quality cleaning services at an affordable price, like you had from the start.

Our current services include: window cleaning, gutter cleaning, pressure washing and siding cleaning. Starting July 2020, we no longer provide carpet, upholstery or rug cleaning. Our regular service area is: Newland, Elk Park, Linville, Crossnore, Pineola, Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, Foscoe, Boone, Plumtree, Minneapolis, Roan Mtn., and surrounding areas.

We are fully insured, carrying both Workers Compensation and General Liability coverage.

We look forward to providing you with exceptional cleaning results!

 

Andrew Johansen, Owner/Operator

Born and raised in Newland, NC. Andrew started helping in Highland Pro Clean when he was only 10 years old. You could say he was born into this work. With over 30 years of experience and training in window cleaning, gutter cleaning, and applied microbial growth, Andrew is the man you can trust to get your job done right the first time!

Jael Johansen, Office Manager/Cleaning Technician

Jael hails from Green Lane, PA. She started working at Highland Pro Clean when she was 15 years old. (Her family had recently moved to NC to be close to family.) There she met, and later married, Andrew Johansen. They currently reside in Roan Mountain, TN with their son, Kade, daughter, Nova, a Jack Russell/Beagle, Charlie, and a tabby cat, Kirra. Starting 2019, Jael will be working with Andrew in helping with your cleaning needs, and also handling your questions and requests.

Kade Johansen, Cleaning Technician

Kade is now 16 years old. He will be starting to work with us first full time for the 2024 season. He is interested in playing piano, anime, and video games. We hope he exceeds your exceptions this cleaning season.
