Be Aware: From a resident on Driftwood Ridge: a woman pulled into our drive way and then introduced herself as a carpet cleaning company. Perhaps she was legit, however the card she left with my wife does not indicate they clean carpets. After the woman left, she did not visit anyone else on our street, which further prompts me to be very suspicious. The business card says Kirby Co. of Canyon Lake, Quality, Reliability and Performance
