We searched for the business name, Allen's name, both phone numbers and the Gmail address. Stan's is listed in about a dozen places, but the info doesn't match from site to site, one listing points to someone else's website, and none of them are clearly managed by Al. Customers love him; the internet is just messy.
Not found: BBB, Thumbtack, Manta, Angi (separate from HomeAdvisor), Bing Places, Apple Maps (not checked), Oregon Secretary of State record (search engines don't index it, so check by hand). Nothing comes up for "Hammermann." Watch out: Stan's Carpet Care in Eugene is a different, unrelated company.
