Woodard's story is best told by those closest to it. In conjunction with Woodard Cleaning & Restoration celebrating 75 years of serving the St. Louis area, C&R sat down with third generation owner, Justin Woodard. He shares a story unlike any other - of a war hero shot down over France, a harrowing mountain escape, and a journey to America.  

Earl Woodard and his wife, Nancy, started a carpet cleaning service out of a trailer pulled by the family car. In time, they grew and grew - and attribute their success to their "unrelenting commitment to customer service, earned the respect of business owners, insurance companies and customers alike."
