The story
Jemstone was founded by Jemhan Biricik, a Clarks Summit local who grew up watching small businesses come and go across the Abingtons and Scranton. The good ones — the ones that lasted — all had something in common: they cared about their work, they showed up, and they treated every customer like a neighbor.
That's the standard we built Jemstone around. We're not a national chain, not a franchise, not a venture-backed app. We're a local cleaning company, run by people who live here, accountable to the community we work in.
What we believe
Cleaning is care work
Letting someone into your home or office is an act of trust. We don't take that lightly. Every Jemstone cleaner is fully insured, bonded, and background-checked before they ever step into your space — and the same person comes back each visit so they actually learn your home, not just your address.
Honest quotes, no surprises
We give flat-rate quotes in 60 seconds via the website — no high-pressure sales calls, no "starting at" prices that triple by the time we walk in. The price you agree to is the price you pay. If a clean takes longer than expected, that's our problem, not yours.
If we missed something, we come back
Our 100% satisfaction guarantee isn't fine print. If anything in your cleaning wasn't right, call or email within 24 hours and we come back free. No paperwork, no negotiation, no defensive email responses. We just make it right.
Same cleaner, every visit
Most cleaning companies in NEPA send whoever's available that day. We don't. The same person comes to your home or office every visit — they learn what you like, what to skip, what your dog's name is, and how you like the towels folded. That continuity is most of what makes a recurring service feel like care instead of transaction.
Where we work
Jemstone serves all of Clarks Summit, Scranton, Dunmore, Dickson City, Old Forge, Carbondale, Moosic, Throop, Taylor, South Abington, Waverly, Clarks Green, and the surrounding Lackawanna County area.
We travel where the work is — but we're rooted in NEPA, and that's not changing. When you call Jemstone, you reach a real person here, not a call center across the country.
What we do
Six core services covering most of what NEPA homes and businesses need:
- Recurring Home Cleaning — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly residential maintenance with the same trusted cleaner each visit.
- Deep Cleaning — top-to-bottom resets for first cleans, seasonal refreshes, and any home that needs more than maintenance.
- Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning — landlord-grade detail designed to pass any inspection and recover security deposits.
- Office & Commercial Cleaning — after-hours janitorial for offices, medical practices, salons, and storefronts across NEPA.
- Post-Construction Cleaning — drywall dust, paint splatter, sticker residue removal so your renovation is actually finished.
- Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Turnover — same-day turnovers built around the 11 AM check-out / 4 PM check-in window.
How we hire
We hire slowly and we hire local. Every Jemstone cleaner goes through:
- National + Pennsylvania state criminal background check
- Reference check (minimum two professional references)
- In-home training with a senior cleaner before any solo visits
- 30-day probationary period with shadowed visits
If a cleaner isn't a fit for our standard, they don't make it past the probationary period. The result: clients see the same trusted person every visit, and we sleep at night knowing who we put in someone else's home.
Insurance & bonding
Jemstone carries:
- General liability insurance ($1M+)
- Bonding (theft protection)
- Workers' compensation insurance for all employees
Certificate of Insurance available within an hour for commercial clients on request.
