Everything you need to know about working with Second Chance Shine — quotes, scheduling, service areas and more. Can't find your answer? Just give us a call.
We're a local cleaning and maintenance company serving Chicago and the western suburbs. Our services include commercial and residential cleaning, construction cleaning, carpet and window cleaning, power and pressure washing, painting, handyman work, move in/move out cleaning, and floor stripping and waxing.
Yes. We're a small, local crew based in the Chicago area. When you call, you talk to the people who actually do the work — not a call center.
We do. We handle residential and commercial properties. Whether it's a single home, an office suite, a retail space or a construction site, we can help.
Yes, we're insured. If you need proof of insurance for a commercial or property-management job, just ask and we'll provide it.
Yes — estimates are always free. Tell us about the job and we'll walk through it with you (or review your details) and give you a clear, no-pressure quote before any work begins.
Pricing depends on the type of service, the size of the job, the condition of the property and how long it's likely to take. We quote each job plainly so you know the price before we start.
No. The price we quote is the price you pay. If something unexpected comes up once work begins, we'll talk to you before doing anything that would change the cost.
For most jobs, no deposit is needed. For larger projects we may ask for a small deposit to hold the date — we'll always explain this up front.
We accept common payment methods including cash, check and major cards. If you have a specific billing requirement for a commercial job, let us know and we'll work with you.
It depends on the job and the season. Call us with your details and we'll give you the earliest available date — often within a few days for smaller jobs.
Yes. We offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, so we can work around your business hours or your day.
Absolutely. Many commercial clients set up regular cleaning schedules — weekly, biweekly or monthly. One-time deep cleans are just as welcome.
Just let us know as early as you can. We'll do our best to find another time that works for you. If we ever need to reschedule, we'll give you as much notice as possible.
It varies by service and size. A standard cleaning may take a few hours, while a large construction clean or floor stripping job can take a full day or more. We'll give you a realistic time estimate with your quote.
They're similar, but power washing typically uses heated water while pressure washing relies on high-pressure cold water. Both remove grime, mold and built-up dirt. We'll recommend the right one for your surface.
For most residential and low-rise commercial buildings, yes. For very tall or specialized buildings, call us and we'll let you know what's possible.
Yes. We bring our own cleaning products, equipment and tools. If you'd like us to use specific products on your property, just let us know in advance.
Not necessarily. Many clients give us access and go about their day. For first-time jobs we usually recommend a quick walkthrough, but it's up to you.
We handle interior walls and trim, exterior touch-ups, and small to medium painting jobs. We prep and prime properly so the finish lasts.
Small repairs, fixture fixes, general maintenance and punch-list work — the odd jobs that pile up. If you're not sure whether we can help, just ask.
We serve Chicago and the surrounding western suburbs, including Hillside, Naperville, Oak Brook, Joliet, Oaklawn, Mokena, Oak Park, Addison and Elgin.
Possibly! Call us with your location and we'll let you know. We may still be able to get there, especially for larger jobs.
For most jobs within our service area, no. For locations further out, we'll mention any travel cost in your quote so there are no surprises.
We're happy to help. Call, email or send us a message and we'll get back to you quickly.
