Chris wanted more than a paycheck, he wanted purpose. With Roni’s support and their kiddos cheering him on (and his son being the inspiration of their logo!) that purpose took shape in the driveway of their Ohio home — a small dream with big ambition.

After years of long shifts and missed moments, Chris was ready for change. He wanted to create something that allowed him to be there for the things that mattered most — family dinners, softball games, and the simple joy of being home. With Roni’s business savvy and creative spark, the two set out to build something together: a business that worked for their family and served their community.

That dream became The Grime Reaper Cleaning Co L.L.C — a family-owned and operated business committed to making homes shine, one clean can at a time.

What started as a single service has grown into a full lineup of residential and commercial cleanings: trash can sanitizing, driveway and sidewalk washing, patio and deck restoration, fence cleaning, and more.

Every job is handled with care, eco-friendly products, and the kind of attention to detail only a small family business can provide.

But for the Barbers, The Grime Reaper isn’t just about clean surfaces — it’s about connection. It’s about being part of the neighborhoods that raised them, sponsoring youth sports, supporting local fundraisers, and showing their kids what hard work and heart can build.

When you book with The Grime Reaper, you’re not just getting a clean can or sparkling driveway — you’re supporting a local family with a big dream and a bigger purpose: to build a legacy of service, pride, and community.
