The deep cleaning was fine, but the monthly cleaning was rushed. There was no attention to detail. We always had complaints or missed spots. They were very responsive and would want to come back to rectify it, but for paying that much each month, we were not happy with the level or quality of service. The front office staff was always wonderful - calling to make sure people were there on time, scheduling around my son's naps - always professional and nice.
Description of Work: I hired them to do a monthly cleaning of my house, which required a deep cleaning session to begin.

Belle Home was great to work with as a regular cleaning service. They did an initial deep clean of my two-bedroom apartment, which was thorough and impressive. After that, the biweekly service was limited more to surfaces,floors, and trash take-out, but Belle Home was very flexible about including occasional requests (i.e. cleaning baseboards) as they were needed. The responsiveness was great! Any updates or requests I made were handled quickly and professionally, and I received day-before text reminders on my cleaning dates. The cleaning products used left my home smelling fresh and mild with no harsh odors. I usually work from home, so I was frequently there when the cleaners were present. Although Belle home assigns a 'primary cleaner' to each home, the cleaners actually doing the work rotated quite a bit. Everyone, however, was professional and easy-going. I had an afternoon time slot, which meant that I was always the second cleaning on the schedule. This resulted in some variability. While the cleaners usually arrived about 1pm, there were some days they didn't come until 3pm and a day when they arrived as early as 10am. I did receive a call from the office on a day that they were running far behind schedule, and extra personnel were sent so that the work could be completed super-quickly. While I found it necessary to be flexible with the time of the work, Belle Home always provided work on the day promised and always completed it within business hours. Overall, my experience with Belle Home was great. This was my first time using a housekeeping service, so I'm unsure how they compare, but I would not hesitate to use them or recommend them.
Description of Work: Did an initial deep cleaning, then provided cleaning service (approx 3 hours) every two weeks.

The first time I called this company, it was on a few days' notice to do a housecleaning while I was out of town. We had guests coming, and I didn't want my husband to have to handle it himself. They came and, according to him, did a good enough job that I was willing to hire them on an on-going basis. The next time,about a month later, I called on a Monday morning for a Friday clean, and had a nearly 10 minute conversation about what kind of cleaning would take place (I wanted deep, but said basic was ok too) and at what time. She told me they were pretty busy, but that since I was flexible on arrival time, would accept any number of cleaners, and would accept a basic clean, they could do it. She said she'd have somebody else call me back when those details were set. I felt pretty happy it was taken care of. Well, by Thursday morning I hadn't heard back on the details, and sent an email. I got an email back saying they were booked, and I wasn't on the schedule. When I called in a panic, the booker asked to call me back, and then ended up saying they really were too busy to do it and "good luck." A little more verbal concern, at least, would have been nice: I have guests coming in just over 24 hours, it is graduation weekend, and I will now be taking off from work to do the house myself since at this point there is no other choice. Thank goodness I checked back myself, because if I'd just trusted in their word, I'd be in this same position day-of. So, yeah, never calling these people again.

Cleaning was just fair - a surface cleaning, not the deep cleaning we were expecting. Perhaps our expectations were too high. In the past we had cleaning services, and when they first started with us they did a deep cleaning. We were expecting something like that, on a 1-time basis.

This was a 4-hour coupon special for $115 for 4 hours of housecleaning. This customer wanted her home spruced up prior to a real estate showing. We did let her know that we would not be able to clean all of the areas in her home that she wanted cleaning in 4 hours - she did not want to purchase another coupon, so we were limited to doing what we could in 4 hours. Although we are very efficient, it was not possible to detail clean all of the areas she wanted cleaned in 4 hours.

We've been using them regularly for a few months. They have been consistent in coming when scheduled (we switched because our last person wasn't), in cleaning everything well, and being very pleasant to have in our home. They also are flexible around where they start if we're home and not quite ready for them to work in a certain area. And, they are flexible in adding additional services as needed. They've had to work around some construction and handle that professionally.

Belle Home Housecleaning has been great. They have been cleaning our home (condo) for approx 2 months. From the beginning they have been very professional and attentive. There was an initial visit to see the place, discuss what we were looking for, explain the services, etc. We have chosen a weekly clean since we have pets and they have accommodated all of our requests. They send a reminder text the day before each cleaning (at our request). They are punctual, very pleasant and professional, and do a great job. While we've had a few different crews (all of which have been great), Emily has most often been our cleaner. She is very thorough, very observant of things that need to be done, and as mentioned, professional and pleasant. We have some family health issues that we are dealing with and it has been such a tremendous relief to find a group that we can feel totally comfortable with, that does such a great job, and that takes so much off my "plate"! We absolutely recommend Belle.

It went perfectly. Belle Home was extremely helpful in finding a way to schedule me in when I needed them. They arrived when they said they would and did a really beautiful job cleaning the apartment. We were very pleased with the cleaning and I will be hiring them on a regular basis based on this experience. I highly recommend them!

I'm disappointed I have to write a negative review about this company, because I had such high hopes based on my interaction up to the day of service; I thought I'd found a cleaning company I'd be using long-term! I found Belle on AL and hired them to do an overall cleaning of a house I'd just finished rehabbing, before I staged & put it on the market. They initially came off as very pleasant & professional; I paid the deposit, scheduled the appointment and we were good to go. I wasn't able to be there at their scheduled time, but left them a key for access and they called while onsite letting me know that everything was going well--and that the only thing they couldn't really get to were the floors, since the workers were still kind of going back & forth. I told them that was no problem, since the priorities were things like the bathrooms, windows, etc. So, the next morning I arrive, ready to stage the property & expecting to see a (relatively) clean house. Imagine my surprise & dismay when...NOTHING had been done. I mean, the bathrooms were still just as dusty as ever...nothing had been touched, still even debris & dust across the kitchen countertops, etc. My contractor said that the women came--but didn't do anything, just "walked around upstairs," lol. When I called Belle to ask what had happened, their "explanations" were all over the place--"the contractors were in the way," "there were issues with the water & electricity," etc. I told them that was ridiculous--the water/electric has been on for months--and especially since they boast about bringing their own cleaning supplies, how much of it do you need to at least do minimal cleaning (which there was no evidence of)? Furthermore, I pointed out that none of these so-called "issues" had been presented to me when the ladies checked in with me during their time there. Since there was no time for them to come back and do a proper job before staging, professional photography & listing in the next few days, I requested a full refund instead. They claimed they could "only refund me for 1 hour,"--a $40 amount, which I thought was ridiculous since nothing was done. So, here I am instead, having to post a bad review & dispute their charges with my credit card company instead. (I would post pictures I took after their supposed appointment, if I had the means to on AL). All in all, I'm not sure what happened between my pleasant pre-appointment experience with them--and the non-cleaning that subsequently happened. I have no problems paying for good service--but I refuse to pay for non-existent service.

Response from Belle Home Housecleaning
The homeowner did not inform our office that the house was actively being renovated, or we would not have scheduled the job until the construction workers had left, per our policy. There was no water in two sinks, multiple rooms with no electricity, and a construction crew working throughout the home - while we cleaned it. (We do, in fact, need access to water and electricity in order to clean properly.) The excess grout on the bathroom tiles had not sponged off correctly by the tiler, leaving concrete or possibly, epoxy, to harden on the tile, which we could not remove. Some of what we cleaned was undone by the construction workers and multiple areas, such as the kitchen and flooring, were inaccessible, as the workers had saws, tools, wood, etc. spread over the countertops and floors, making it impossible to even walk through, let alone clean. The construction crew was actively cutting and creating dust while we were in the home. This cleaning was originally estimated at 6 hours, sight unseen . When our cleaners cleaned the baths and windows, and some floors, we told the homeowner that we had only been able to work for 4 hours, and could not do any further cleaning while the construction crew was in the house, and offered to return when the construction was completed, remove any dust that the carpenters had made, and clean the kitchen and floors. The owner told us that she understood, and said that she would have the cleaners back to finish the areas once the construction crew had completely finished, and suggested that we could come back in a day or two and finish the cleaning, which we were amenable to. She was charged $100 for the cleaning, which is below our standard rates for 4 hours of cleaning, as a courtesy.

She couldn't possibly get to everything that was discussed in the time available for the money. The owner over promised what would get done and there was no follow up after. However, I like the woman who came to clean my home and decided to engage the service and am currently happy with how the cleaning is going.

Response from Belle Home Housecleaning
We cannot guarantee that we can clean any home on the initial cleaning in 2,3 or 4 hours, which is why we email/call coupon customers to ask them which areas are the most important to them, so we may clean those areas first. Chances are that we will not be able to clean an entire home in 2,3, or 4 hours on the first cleaning. Cut and pasted from our Angie's List email to this customer: "May I ask for your priority list so that we may do those areas first, in case we cannot get through the whole house in 4 hours?" This is our standard procedure so that our customers' priorities are cleaned first in case we run out of time. While we're sorry that there was any misunderstanding, we're happy that this customer was pleased with the quality of our cleanings, and has become a regular customer.

We are happy that you were pleased with the cleaning. Hopefully the cleaners did get to those areas that you had outlined in your note - likely that your cleaners were lifting, cleaning, buffing, etc. and were concentrating on the cleaning and didn't see that there was a paper addressed to them.
