“Excellence isn’t accidental — it’s intentional. We approach each job with patience, precision, and determination because that’s what the Steam Lion standard demands.” — Noah Johnson, Owner
Owner-Operated • Trained & Certified • Bonded & Insured
Hello, my name is Noah Johnson, owner of Steam Lion — The King of Steam Cleaning. Many people also know me by my nickname, Lucky.
A little over thirty years ago, I started my first carpet cleaning business with my family. I spent years learning the trade hands-on, building the knowledge, skill, and work ethic that still guide the way I approach every job today.
After building years of experience in the industry, life eventually led me into other work and opportunities. Now, with Steam Lion, I'm returning to the carpet and upholstery cleaning business with renewed focus, enhanced professionalism, and the same commitment to quality that first built my reputation.
When it comes to cleaning, I am detail-focused, professional, and committed to high-quality results. My goal is always to provide careful, thorough service that helps your carpet and upholstery look, feel, and smell cleaner. From improving the overall appearance of your carpet to working through tough spots and helping eliminate odors at the source, I treat every job like it matters — because it does.
I earned IICRC certifications in carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, odor control, and restoration services, gaining valuable training in advanced cleaning and restoration techniques. That training, combined with years of hands-on experience, allows me to approach each job with the right process, the right products, and the right expectations.
When you hire Steam Lion, you're not hiring a big corporate crew or a company rushing from one appointment to the next. You're working directly with me. You'll get honest recommendations, careful work, and service focused on the best possible result for your home or business.
I also focus on more than just how your carpet looks. A deep steam cleaning helps remove the dust, dirt, allergens, and contaminants that settle into carpet and upholstery over time, helping create a cleaner, fresher, and healthier environment.
As Steam Lion grows in this area, my focus is simple: earn trust one customer, one home, and one job at a time.
I take pride in my work — that's why they call me the…
