Mike: Owner & Lead Tech
Hey, I’m Mike, the guy behind Down and Dirty. I’ve been in the furniture game for over 10 years, from sales to service to everything in between. On top of that, I spent years in the rent-to-own industry, where I learned firsthand how to recondition, repair, and revive all kinds of furniture.
After seeing how much good furniture ends up tossed out just because it’s dirty or needs a little love, I decided to start my own thing. Now, I offer furniture cleaning, sales, and assembly/disassembly at affordable prices for people in Utica and the surrounding areas.
I run this business with the support of my wife and daughter, who keep me motivated every single day. I take pride in my work, and I treat every job like it’s going into my own home.
My promise? I’ll always show up ready to get down and dirty on all your furniture.
