It is a small house. I would recommend them because they are reliable. The cleaning lady I have does a very good job. I got them from Angie’s List. They were very good.

I contacted A-1 Polish because of the good reviews I read. They did not mislead me. Grace got right back to me and set up the first appointment with one of the women in my area. After the first cleaning, Grace got back to me to see how it went. She uses my own cleaning supplies which I like because I know what she's using and I know the cleaning cloths are clean and right for the job. I have had her three times now and I am extremely satisfied with her cleaning. I have a lot of knick-knacks and she cleans each one. She is very thorough. The last time she was here, she oiled all my wood furniture and the banister on the stairs! What a difference from the cleaning people I've had in the past. When she is done, the house sparkles.My husband even commented on the house! She and I get along very well. She even gives me household hints. All in all I'm very happy and will keep having her.
Description of Work: She cleaned my entire house. She takes a lot of care dusting each item. When she is done, the house sparkles. She is very particular in bathrooms. The last time she oiled all my wood furniture!

The cleaner arrived on time and did a great job of working around us and our dog. She used our cleaning supplies because we have health problems that are aggravated by chemicals and scents. The house looked great when she finished.
Description of Work: We had the house cleaned after we had new insulation blown in. The job of blowing in insulation created an incredible amount of dust. The cleaner dusted, swept and mopped top to bottom. Including window blinds, ceiling fans and book cases. The cleaner also did the basic cleaning of kitchen and bath.

I have used A1 Polish cleaning service for about five weeks now, and overall, have been quite happy with the experience. A couple of the ladies they sent at first did not do as thorough a job at all, and left early, but the ones I have had the past three weeks have been terrific and very professional. So it paid off to try several times as now I am very pleased with this service and the responsiveness of the owner in helping me find the right employees to do the thorough cleaning job I wanted.
Description of Work: We recently renovated our house and had a lot of dust on everything from construction, and then I needed weekly cleaning service for my four bedroom, four bathroom, 3200 sq. foot house with many wood floors. The ladies worked four hours at $50 an hour for two people.

We were moving in the next day and the floors were pretty dirty from some other work that was completed at our place. I called A1 Polish Services only a day before I needed the work completed. They were able to accommodate us and we were pleased with their work.
Description of Work: We had them dust and clean the approximately 3500 square feet of wood floors of our new house.

I contacted A1 Polish Services on Sunday, May 1, 2011, to see if they would be available to clean my home on short notice on Wednesday, May 3, 2011. I received a call back in the late afternoon on Monday saying they would be able to do the job. I confirmed all the information with Grace such as time, would I have to provide the cleaning supplies, and cost. I also noticed a 10% coupon on Angie's List for a first time cleaning which came in handy. The coupon needs to be mentioned when booking the service. I had the first floor of my home cleaned which consisted of a living room, dining room, one full bath, powder room, kitchen and family/breakfast room. My home was beautifully cleaned; however the only complaint I had was the woman did not dust mop my living and dining room hardwood floor or wash it (not a big deal). I am considering hiring them to clean weekly because of the pride they took in their work and the promptness in which they provided it.

They have been cleaning my house for three and a half years. They do a really good job. They are very thorough and efficient. They are on time and I never have to wait for them. I have been very happy with the service that I am getting from them. The lady is very nice and responsive and she comes with her partner. They will do a little bit extra things if I ask them to do. They are just very good and they are very thorough.

My usual service did not show up due to a communication snafu, I was panicked because weekend guests were coming the next day and the day after that we were having twenty people for a party. I called Grace and she had someone at my townhouse an hour and a half after I called. I will never go back to my old service. The woman Grace sent did a fabulous job. I will now have her regularly.
Description of Work: The woman cleaned our house top to bottom much better than any service I have ever used and I have been using housecleaning services for over thirty years. She actually used the ceiling duster to dust our very tall ceilings without being asked to do so. She used a ladder to clean our bathroom mirrors all the way up. She dusted all blinds without being asked to do so. This townhouse has never been so clean. This service may cost more money, but the level of cleaning is incredible. You get what you pay for.

Grace is very responsive and her employees are meticulous. They cleaned thoroughly, put away the supplies and locked up just as we had asked. They even made up our toddler's bed, organizing her stuffed animals in a cute arrangement for her to find when we came home. Two days later, Grace followed up with us to see how it went. We are planning to use A1 on a regular basis. As a side note, we have also used this company for move out cleaning and they are so thorough and detail oriented. Would use them for this as well as regular housekeeping.
Description of Work: Two cleaners cleaned our 3 bd/2 bath condo thoroughly using our cleaning supplies(we only had them clean 2 bds and 1 bath for this job, as the other rooms are under construction). Baseboards washed as well.

We've use A1 for over 1yr. Most cleaning services start off well and then the service gradually deteriorates. This is not the case w/ A1. They are always on time and thorough. Grace is very easy to work with. We've also used them for supplementary child care. Each time with good results.

Grace has been very professional and responsive since our first meeting. I have had difficulty with follow up from other services, but I have had 100% accountability from her. She also works with our busy schedule, and will send additional help if needed. Her employees are courteous, professional and hard working. Her service has helped create some calm and organization to a busy household!

HORRIBLE!! It was like a ghost came to visit without disturbing anything.
Description of Work: I had used this company before in the past and was fairly satisfied with the work they did in 2007. For the cleaning that was supposed to be done on 10/31/2008, they left my house exactly as I had left it but they took the check written to their company without first asking, they ran the vacuum cleaner for about one hour straight on the pretext of working and NOTHING WAS DONE.!!! When I walked into my home from work, I almost fainted from shock because nothing was done. I left markers in the house and all of the markers were exactly where I left them.

Response from A1 Polish Services Inc
IN RESPONSE TO THE COMMENT FROM THE MEMBER, MY NAME IS GRACE GROCHOWSKI AND I AM THE OWNER OF A1 BEST SERVICES. IN REGARDS TO THE UNTRUE COMMENTS WRITTEN BY THE MEMBER MY COMPANY IS PROVIDING COMMERCIAL SERVICES FOR OVER TEN YEARS AS YOU CAN SEE FROM PREVIOUS COMMENTS MY CLIENTS ARE HAPPY WITH OUR SERVICES!!! NOW GOING BACK TO THE ISSUE, MY CLEANING LADIES ARE AWARE AND ADVISED TO FOLLOW SOME RULES ONE OF THESE SET OF RULES IS: IF THERE IS ANY PERSONAL MAIL, DOCUMENTS ETC...DO NOT TOUCH THAT AREA UNLESS DIRECTLY SPECIFIED BY THE CUSTOMER- THIS IS TO PREVENT ANY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM GETTING THROWN AWAY, OR MISPLACED. AFTER THE ACCIDENT THE MEMBER DESCRIBES I PERSONALLY WENT TO INSPECT THE CLEANING JOB AND EVERYTHING WAS DONE TO OUR COMPANY STANDARDS EXCEPT THE PILE OF MAIL, PAPERS AND DOCUMENTS SEEN ON THE PICTURE WHICH AS I EXPLAIN ALREADY MY WORKERS ARE NEVER ALLOWED TO TOUCH.I SUGGESTED THAT THE GIRLS COME BACK AND RE-DUE THE CLEANING ALTHOUGH EVERYTHING WAS DONE EXCEPT THE TABLE. THE MEMBER AGREED BUT FIRST SHE STOP THE CHECK SHE ALREADY ISSUED FOR US, I AM SORRY THAT SHE IS NOT SATISFIED BUT THE WORK WAS DONE AS IT SHOULD I HAD NO PROBLEM SENDING THE GIRLS OVER SINCE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS IMPORTANT TO ME, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WONT LET ANYONE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY WORKERS AND THE HARD SERVICES THEY PROVIDE AND THE MEMBER WAS TRYING TO DO JUST THAT-SHE WANTED HER HOUSE CLEAN TWICE WITHOUT PAYING FOR NOTHING AT ALL, A1 BEST SERVICES IS A PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS DELIVERING THE BEST SERVICE POSSIBLE WE UNDERSTAND WE CAN'T KEEP EVERYONE HAPPY BUT WE STAND BEHIND OUR SERVICES I KNOW THIS ISSUE COULD OF BEEN RESOLVED BUT THE MEMBER DECIDED TO HANDLE THINGS THE HARD WAY. AND ONE MORE THING, THE MEMBER STATES IN HER COMMENT THAT SHE USED OUR SERVICES PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT- SINCE 2007 AND THAT SHE WAS I QUOTE:"I WAS FAIRLY SATISFIED WITH THE WORK THEY DID IN 2007" NOW MY QUESTION IS, IF YOU WERE FAIRLY SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICES MY COMPANY PROVIDED FOR YOU, THEN WHY DID YOU CONTINUE TO USE OUR SERVICES FOR OVER A YEAR?

They are insured and bonded, so they are very much approved for the type of services they perform. They had a lot of cleaners available to come and clean our home right away. Most of their cleaners are pretty good at what they do. Our only problem is they do have a high turn-over rate, so often you have to get used to a new person.
Description of Work: We have this company come into our home once, every two weeks for $80 each time, to clean our floor in a two-story apartment. They also clean a staircase as well.
