Dennis was very punctual and a very nice man. He was professional. However, usually a wife-and-husband team, his wife had recently undergone surgery and so could not do the cleaning. But, she came along anyway and was out in the car. ??? It was a cold and rainy day, so I of course invited her in. She did come in, and sat on my couch and watched TV. ???? I should have turned them away at that point, but I needed my house cleaned. I reiterated again that I really needed the kitchen cleaned, but he started upstairs. I have a story and a half, and the upstairs is just for guests and doesn't get used very much, which I told him. Long story short, the upstairs probably got the best clean, because I think by the time he got to the kitchen (he saved it for last) he was tired. He didn't wipe down the cabinet fronts at all, he didn't clean the sink, or the front of the fridge or microwave, and if I hadn't noticed and made him clean the top of the fridge I don't think he would have done that either. The master bath was cleaned just okay -- the vanity and sinks were not cleaned very well. Also, and BIG negative point: he emptied one of the buckets in my kitchen sink. Ack!!! The blinds were not dusted (I even pointed them out to him that they needed it), the woodwork wasn't cleaned, I could go on and on. I got a basic clean, kinda slap-dash, for $175, and my house is pretty small. Finally, he had me write the check to some company, I think probably to pay the ground rent on his property. So he wasn't very concerned with cleaning my house, he just needed to pay the rent. If his wife couldn't do the cleaning, he should have brought someone else, given me a reduction on the price, or said he couldn't come. I'm VERY disappointed and kinda feel ripped off. Again, they were very nice people, but the cleaning was marginal at best. If I thought it would make a difference or if I wanted them back in my house, I would call to have them back to finish the job. But, live and learn. I'm not sure if I can trust the reviews on Angie's List, and probably will check with other sources before using a service.
Description of Work: Contacted to provide housecleaning, especially the kitchen. Booked based on reviews from Angie's List, but the provider did not deliver.

Dennis and Ginny have been cleaning our house monthly for over 1 year. We are overall very happy with their work and if we ever have any special requests for extra attention to an area they always comply. Additionally they were very helpful when they discovered our glass sliding door was shattered in April 2015. They tried to contact me but could not get me directly so they called the police. Being a vacation house we are not always here so it is a relief that they took action to be sure the house was secure. We appreciate their care of our house.

This review of long overdue. The house was bigger than they anticipated, but they stayed and worked until the job was done. They asked us to provide the cleaning supplies and they provided the labor. At first I thought this was odd, but it turned out to be a good arrangement. It kept the cost down and I chose what products would be used in the house. Country Lake did an excellent job and I would use them again.

Never heard from anyone. Perhaps the owners never intended to do the work? I guess I'll never know! Very unprofessional, unresponsive.
Description of Work: The initial estimate was provided by Dennis on 7/8 with, what I thought, was a confirmed date to clean on 7/17. When no one showed up, I called to clarify the date. I was told that the appointment wasn't confirmed. Ginny would call back to make another appointment.

Description of Work: They started cleaning every other week for us on April 4, 2014. They clean the bathrooms, vacuum entire house, dust the entire house, wipe down walls, clean mirrors, clean the kitchen (wiping cabinets and countertops and over the cabinets). They do an excellent job of cleaning. They will do extra things if there is time. We are glad we found them. We enjoy having them come and clean.

We were very happy with Dennis and Ginny, they were prompt upon arrival. They are very careful to use the products we wanted to use and also brought clean cloths for cleaning our home. They used our vacuum, mop and dusters. Ginny was very thorough about the bathroom cleaning, and it showed. They were very nice and flexible for our scheduling.

I think I said it all in the above paragraph. A+++
Description of Work: This was the first cleaning by Ginny and Dennis. What a job they did ... top to bottom. When they arrived, we walked around the house and got to know each other a bit. Then they got to work. They were here for 5 1/2 hours, subtract the 1/2 hour for chatting, and they took a short break, they worked for almost five hours. Not because my house was so dirty!!!!! Just that they cleaned, as I said, from top to bottom. The bathrooms were spotless, all furniture shiny, kitchen was gorgeous, as was everything else. They cleaned all my cabinets, baseboards, wiped down all doors etc.etc.etc. I paid them more than they were asking because of the fantastic job they did, plus the time they put in. We signed up for a bi-weekly cleaning with them. I HIGHLY recommend them.

Dennis and Ginnie are two very hard working people who spring cleaned our condo to a shine. Dennis was able to give me an estimate over the phone and we set up a time for the cleaning. They worked diligently and everything was sparkling -- mirrors, kitchen cabinets, floors. Since it was an overcast day, Dennis said they would return the next day to do the windows, which was a great idea. They arrived on time as promised the next day, but to my embarrassment the repairmen who were there doing another project in the condo -- and would clearly have been in their way for washing the windows -- were still working. Dennis said "No problem, we can come by tomorrow afternoon.". And they did -- right on time. They were very accommodating. The windows look beautiful, and it is not easy to get all the salt spray off! They also noticed that the grout in the shower was in bad shape and Dennis pulled out the old grout and did a great job of regrouting. We really appreciate all they did for us.
Description of Work: Deep cleaning of 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo including washing 8 windows and slider to deck.

We needed a cleaning service to clean our vacation house twice yearly, in the spring and fall, and found Country Lake on Angie's List. Dennis and Ginnie, who own and operate Country Lake, are a husband and wife team who truly understand the concept of customer service. They arrived to clean our house at the appointed time and worked diligently to make the house spotless from top to bottom! Not only did they perform the usual housecleaning functions--dusting, floors, kitchen, bathrooms, etc.--they also cleaned all of our ceiling fans plus several elevated display shelves and the objects on them. We coiuldn't be more pleased, and will continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: This husband and wife team did a thorough top-to-bottom cleaning of our vacation house.

Country Lake is a husband and wife team and they did an outstanding job. We have a two story house which they thoroughly cleaned. Every room was dusted and vacuumed. Baseboards and heaters cleaned. The bathrooms were spotless with the lights and fixtures cleaned as well as the toilets, sinks and tubs. Floors were wet mopped where appropriate. We are very satisfied. This is a great value for the price. They even closed up the house for the winter per my instructions. Will definitely have them back next season and for a thorough spring cleaning including windows.

This husband and wife cleaning and maintenance company carried out a very high level of housecleaning at my beach condo. After renting the unit for the entire summer, a top-to-bottom deep cleaning of the premises was in order. Well , I was thoroughly pleased that my wife found Country Lake Cleaning and Maintenance on Angie's List. The couple arrived promptly at the agreed upon time, provided a fair estimate to do the job, and then performed the work in an extremely thorough and professional manner. My entire experience with this company was very positive, and I plan on having them clean my condo on a regular basis.
Description of Work: A complete top to bottom deep cleaning was performed at my condo in Rehoboth Beach, DE. This husband and wife owned company carried out their services in a very effecitive,productive, and coordinated team effort. They paid particular attention to detail and cleaned every nook and cranny in the unit. They even moved furniture away from the walls to clean baseboards and areas behind and beneath sofa, loveseat, bed, etc.. They cleaned the refrigerator inside and out, as well as moved the refrigerator away from the wall to clean the area behind it. I am somewhat of a "Felix Unger" type having high standards for cleanliness. Well, I must say that Country Lake Cleaning and Maintenance exceeded my expectations; I was extremely satisfied with their work and would highly recommend this company to anyone who desires a clean home environment.

Dennis and Virginia are a husband and wife housecleaning team that runs their business from Lewes, Delaware. Although my condo is located in Ocean City, Maryland (about 20 miles south of the company office), Dennis and Virginia were happy to travel down from Lewes to clean my condo. I have not seen two people work so hard to clean my place! While my property is a small, one bedroom, one and a half bath condo, it gets dirty from all the sand, humidity, and salt air of a beach resort. Dennis and Virginia methodically went from room to room, thoroughly cleaning the walls; furniture; windows; bathroom sinks, toilets, and tub; carpeting; and floors. The "grand finale" was Virginia wet-mopping my kitchen's linoleum floor! Dennis and Virginia are very friendly, polite, and courteous. They strive to make you a happy customer, and I couldn't be happier! I plan to hire Country Lake Cleaning and Maintenance, again, and I recommend you do the same!
Description of Work: I was about to head home after staying at my Ocean City condo for the last 13 days, and my place needed a thorough cleaning. I had used some bad housecleaning companies in the past, before I became an Angie's List member. So, now armed with Angie's List, I found Country Lake Cleaning and Maintenance to clean my condo, and I'm sure glad I did!

They come once a month and they are very good. They always ask if there is anything else that they could do. They make sure that I am happy with what they have done, they are very respectful, and they do their job and go. They can also do laundry, dishes, and that sort of stuff.

A referral was given by a friend and I decided to try them out. I am disabled and not able to do heavy duty cleaning and needed someone to help me. They came in and they got right to work and I have never in my life had any cleaning service do more than Ginnie and Dennis. They go out of their way to make sure I am happy with their work and they always offer to do more, like laundry, change the sheets on the bed, etc. EXCELLENT is all I can say, they are incredible!! You can't go wrong with them. Even if you have them come in once a week they do the same level of cleaning each and every time.....so you know that all your shelves and knick-knacks will be dusted, floors scrubbed, furniture polished, etc......they are wonderful people and you will be as pleased as I am.
Description of Work: Ginnie & Dennis are a husband and wife cleaning team.....absolutely THE BEST cleaning team I have ever had in my home. They take everything off the shelves and really dust they are meticulous and very detail oriented so they don't miss anything....my baseboards are cleaned every single time, my shelves, all my knick-knacks, Ginnie hand scrubs the floors to make sure nothing is overlooked, all of my appliances (exterior) are cleaned from top to bottom. They will do the dishes, laundry, whatever is needed to make their clients satisfied. I cannot say enough fantastic things about them. I feel comfortable leaving my home while they clean without any worries! They are professional, on time and I have to say that I get more value for my dollar having them clean than ANY other cleaning service!!!!
