Description of Work: I had purchased a big deal to have my housecleaned. I had trouble communicating with the company. They provided several different phone numbers. They scheduled service to come out without confirming with me and I was not there when they arrived.

I bought a coupon from Angie's list for $60 (I think) for what I thought was 3 hours of cleaning. When I called to make the appointment, the company told me that meant two people for 1.5 hours, and if I wanted more time, I'd have to pay $35/hr. On the good side, the folks who came were friendly and did what I asked, but of course they didn't finish in 1.5 hours. Even with an extra $35, they didn't get around to mopping the kitchen floor or dusting the baseboards. I found out that they were contractors, and I could have hired them directly for less. I will now go back to hiring people directly rather than go through a company. Also, I think the coupon deal was deceptive.
Description of Work: Moderate cleaning: dusting, bathrooms, vacuum

Thank you for reviewing us. The people who cleaned your home only worked for my company for 1 month and were not contractors, I had to let them go after I had a few clients let me know they were trying to start there own company with my clients and doing a bad job on purpose, I am so very sorry this happened at your home. we would be pleased to give you another cleaning for free any time you would like :-) thank you.

She was excellent in dehoarding my home. As far as coming and getting rid of lot of stuff that I want to hold onto, she was excellent. She deserved everything for the work she did. She had her other people do the house cleaning. As far as regular maintenance and house cleaning, I would go with someone else. I wasn't really happy with what they were doing. They didn't clean well. They didn't get underneath my bed. They cleaned up for me the way the teenager would; so that they could get their allowance and run outside. They were not at all thorough.
Description of Work: A Really Clean Home did dehoarding for me couple of months ago.

when a company wants to do professional business, the professionalism starts with the telephone and a welcoming voice. that didn't happen with this company. i didn't feel my business was important to the people i spoke with on the phone. was happy with sarah and henry's work. they were very nice and worked very hard. thank you to them.
Description of Work: henry and sarah did a good job cleaning. however, lorna did not want to communicate by email; she preferred the telephone. only problem with that was, getting a return call took two or three calls on my part and i was losing patience. i purchase the special that angie's list advertised and don't remember what the amount was. when i called lorna, she informed me that there was a 4 hour minimum charge. henry and sarah were done in two hours, so i must say i was confused.

Thank you for your review. We prefer to do business over the phone as we are hardly ever in the office we are out in the field cleaning houses, it is hard to get back to people via email and give them a prompt response, it it true we are some times in areas where service id poor I do my best always to communicate well and be up beat. I did have a surgery In April and was a bit more behind in promptness and personality I am so pleased you liked Henry and Sara they are hard workers and and take much pride in what they do. I know it can be confusing for people who are not employers the hours worked are man hours if they are in your home 2 hours each that is for hours and that is what they were paid for.

I purchased the "big deal" on Angie's List for 3 hours of housecleaning for $60. When the company called me, they said they had a 4 hour minimum and I would need to pay the full price for the extra hour. When I said I wanted to cancel because I felt this was a misrepresentation and that I didn't need that much cleaning or want to spend any more than I did on the coupon, the owner said there was a $50 cancellation fee. When I said that the 4 hour minimum or the cancellation fee was not written in their ad, they said it was Angie's List's fault and that they didn't write it right. Then the owner back pedaled and offered to not charge me if they went over 3 hours after all (why couldn't they do that in the beginning?). I hurried back from out of town the day of the appt. and they never showed up. When I called, they said they didn't have cell service to call me from their previous job. Then the company called me 3 more times with apologies and attempts to reschedule (the last call offering a free cleaning). I got a refund for the coupon from Angie's list without any problem. I am not interested in having a company with such little professionalism work in my home.
Description of Work: The company did not show up at the appointed time to perform the services of housecleaning.

Wow, after I spoke with my office person and he told me you were not happy, I personal called you, yes the 4 hour min was not printed yet the cancellation fee was, I did offer you no 4th hour and told you we really wanted to make you happy, My team was running behind in a home in the Oakland hills with no cell service, when you called and told us they were 20 min late, we offered to send you another team at that moment you refused we also offered you a free cleaning which you also refused; you paid Angie list and that is why they refunded you money and not us. I have to admit I bent over backwards to please you from the beginning, which I always do, you were imposable to please, I am so very sorry for that, the rest we did our best, we still stand by the offer of a free cleaning . Thank you Lorna 510-827-8375

They were very nice. They brought their own supplies and did what they said they would. They were very easy to schedule and worked efficiently. They had a special offer, where they did three hours of work for $60; the price was half of whatever their regular fee was. They did try to encourage me to give them more work at the rate of $40 an hour, but I just stuck to the special offer and had them do whatever they could do. I think their price was high. I would probably not use them in the future.

Thank you for your review. Angie's list approached us to offer a big deal and required us to have an hourly rate, we had to come up with a rate that would allow us to make at least 5.00 for job after the hours keeper are paid as they make 50% and are paid well Angie's list made 25%. We normal charge by the job and if you were to ask any of our references they would tell you we are quite affordable for a company that carries the expense of being licensed, bonded and insured. Give us an opertunity to give you a price for cleaning out side of the big deal and you will see how happy we can make you. Thank you Lorna Owner. 510-827-8375

The housekeepers arrived about 10 minutes late. No big deal. They entered my condo and took off their shoes without my asking. I appreciated this. They then wasted no time and went straight to work. I think they did a pretty good job. They were efficient and pretty thorough. However, I don't think they did much better than I could do myself and the reason I get a housekeeper is to have someone a bit more thorough than I am. I think they did a good job but I have had a slightly better housecleaning. I was overall satisfied. Now were I did have issue was the manner in which I was invoiced. I got a Angies Big deal and paid $60 for 3 hours of house cleaning. This was paid upfront via the angies list website. When I made the apppointment, I was told that they had to clean a minimum of 4 hours and it was $40/hr. When the housekeepers were done, I asked if I get an invoice and I was prepared to pay the $40 that day. They said no so I just tipped them and they left. About 2 weeks the company left a message on my answering machine asking me to call them back. They then told me I owed them $40 which is fine but I wish the invoicing was a little more organized and professional. When I made the appointment, they should have told me when the $40 was due and how I would be invoiced. Instead, the Accounts Receivable person called me with an accusatory tone in his voice as if I were trying to get out of paying. Like I said I was prepared to pay the day the services were rendered but the whole process was not made clear to me. Overall, I'd say the cleaning job was good and I may use them again but the invoicing process needs to be a bit more spelled out. $40/hr is also a little steep.
Description of Work: I had my one bedroom condo cleaned which included, shower cleaning, sinks, toilet, vacuuming and dusting.

Thank you for your review, I spoke with you the day the cleaning was booked, I informed you to right a check for the 40.00 at completion of the job. We would have been glad to give you a deeper cleaning yet you requested a good general cleaning. We always want to please our clients, Angie's list required we have an hourly rate for this big deal, we will be glad to give you a flat rate for your next cleaning at a discount. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Thank you Lorna 510-827-8375

The tenants had left the house very very dirty. We had had to do about 8 days of painting to get rid of all the holes, writing on the walls, etc. The bathrooms had not been cleaned well in at least 2-3 years. The company did a good job getting rid of most of the dirt, which was a lot of work. However, they did not get the windows "really clean" nor the floor. My friends and I had to run out and buy windex and paper towels the morning of the open house to scrub more gunk off the insides of the windows. They also did not get all the paint off the floors from the recent painting. They said they were afraid of scratching the floors. I think they are a fine company if you have normal, not extreme, cleaning needs.
Description of Work: A Really Clean Home cleaned my rental property in order to get it ready for an open house for prospective tenants. They were very responsive to my tight schedule, returning phone calls promptly, and managing to make a team of two cleaners available on short notice. They cleaned the floors, baseboards, windows, shutters (many) and what they called "high dusting" of lamps, trim, tops of cabinets, etc.

Made appointment, they gave me an estimate over the phone. Carpet cleaner came on time. Used environmentally positive methods that included a good deal of hot water, so the carpets took 8 hours to dry. Things look way cleaner. Technician was polite, friendly, efficient.

It went well overall. The carpets were harder to clean than expected (estimated 2 hours, took over 6), but everything else was on plan.
Description of Work: This was a full cleaning of a moved out townhouse. They had scrubbed the floors, pulled out the fridge and cleaned behind, pulled out the washer/dryer and cleaned out the backs. Went through all the rooms and then did a deep cleaning of the carpets for 6 hours.
