Talking Help renaming my business

Hi! I started my own carpet cleaning business and have quickly come to realize there is much more I can offer. I named the business Helping Hands Carpet Cleaning. My logo is below.

After research and training, I can offer the following:
Carpet Cleaning
Carpet Repair
Upholstery
Leather cleaning
Tile&Grout
Pet stain and odor
Flood damage restoration
Stone flooring (granite, marble, slate- ect)
Soft flooring (linolium, soft stone)
Wood and Cork
Tile Showers
Stone countertops

I've already received training in several, and can and will become certified in all (it may take a while as some classes are not even offered this year and some are only offered on the other side of the country!)

I will also be doing standard house cleaning as a way to keep income in the slow, long, winter months.

Ideas on what I can out on the bottom part of my logo?

My business card will show what services I will offer, I just think something needs to be on the logo.

Thanks so much!!!

I think it might be better if the print size wasn't so much larger for "Helping Hands". It's a nice slogan, but it prompted me to think of in-home aides, which is not your focus, though folks who would employ you might sometimes also need nurses or aides. "Helping Hands Cleaners" and "Carpets,floors,furniture,HOUSE" Logo to include other implements, or something besides the scrubber?

Helping Hands Whole Home Cleaning? I presume you are not installing stuff like countertops?

Welcome Home Cleaning And Repair?

Helping Hands Specialty Cleaners?

Whole Home Specialty Repair and Cleaning?

I know it helps alphabetically to start with an "A" in the business name so "All Home Specialty Cleaning" ?

Cleaning Solutions and Surface Restoration

And I would ditch that buffer in the logo. I would refuse anyone who wanted to clean my carpets with a buffer type process.

Business near me calls its carpet cleaning PLUS. Their main business is carpet cleaning but they, like you, can do a lot more.

I might go with something like "All Clean. . .if its dirty we can probably clean it. Carpets are our specialty. " And I'd change my logo to maybe a hand with a towel in it wiping across with a shining/sparkling area behind the wipe.

Since you're going to be working on everything from flooring to counter tops and ceramic walls, I go with "Surface Sparklers". The logo would be in 3 sections, showing a floor, counter top, and wall. All with bright highlights.

Repairing wood flooring, ceramic tile, etc. is an art, if done right. Don't under price yourself.
