Why is floor cleaning different in a town as new as Ave Maria?
Ave Maria's floors are newer than almost anywhere else we work. The town was founded in 2005, about 36 miles northeast of downtown Naples in eastern Collier County, so no home here predates the mid-2000s. Even the oldest tile and grout in town is barely two decades old. Captain Steamer serves Ave Maria from its base in the Golden Gate Estates area of Naples, protecting original finishes, not restoring heavy wear.
Ave Maria has the youngest housing stock in our service area. Of 3,116 housing units, 2,555 were built in 2010 or later. That is 82 percent, with 725 built in 2020 or later. Most carpets here are still first-owner carpets. Routine carpet cleaning keeps that near-new flooring at spec and helps keep manufacturer carpet warranties intact.
Countywide, only 21 percent of housing units were built in 2010 or later, against 82 percent in Ave Maria. Homes here come with builder-grade carpet and porcelain tile installed within the last decade, so cleaning is about keeping the builder finish at spec, not fighting decades of buildup. Tile and grout cleaning in Ave Maria preserves the builder's original grout finish instead of fighting decades of buildup.
Ave Maria is an owner town that keeps growing. Of 2,442 occupied homes, 1,997 are owner occupied, which is 81.8 percent. As of 2023 it was the fastest growing community in the United States founded in the 21st century. Owners here book planned carpet, upholstery, and tile care, not one-off move-out cleans.
