She came in with a team of 4 and they really did a great job cleaning my home from top to bottom. My mirrors shined wonderfully and I could actually see clearly out of my windows! They cleaned windowsills and my ceiling fans and dusted, vacuumed and overall did a really good job. They came in on time and finished about a half hour early. The price was fair especially for all of the work that was done. And my stove looked brand new. I was so impressed that I am having them come back on a regular basis until my place sells.
Description of Work: I am preparing my townhouse to sell and it hadn’t been professionally cleaned in 6 years.

Oh wow.... they are AMAZING! We are quite picky about a very clean home and these housekeepers are just so great (usually the same two ladies come for 3-4 hours... up to 8 combined "work hours".) While the house can't be cleaned "top to bottom" every time, they know what needs to be done on a bi-weekly basis, monthly basis ... and maybe just a few times a year (like moving heavier furniture). We love them and, while we pay more than we have in the past, we learned that "you get what you pay for". Bravo to Debbie and her staff!
Description of Work: We have looked for THOROUGH housecleaning for years. Debbie's company - and her staff of extremely well-trained housekeepers - have been cleaning my mom's home for about three months now. Regarding "What work needed to be done" ... we just needed someone that really knows how to clean a house how, listens to suggestions (not very necessary with them - so good), and that cleans the home really really well every two weeks.

Excellently !! They have cleaned our house way beyond what we had expected. They are professional, thorough, and efficient. There have been a number in times, over the past two years we have had their service, when we were not able to be in our home when they were scheduled to come and we have not hesitated to let them come and do the work in our absences It has been a pleasure to get to know the folks who come and do the work, they are delightful and fun to be around.
Description of Work: Full house cleaning from end to end, top to bottom. Floors, cupboards, counters all rooms, bath rooms, kitchen, 4 season room, window trimmings and windows, dusting the ceiling fans and lights, etc.

I spoke with Debbie and we arranged to come to the home for inspection to provide a accurate quote. We met and she was at the home for about 20 minutes or so. Debbie was very pleasant. At the end, she gave a quote for $185 to clean my house every other week. The clean time that she quoted was surprising as well. This is much higher than my prior cleaning company and any other quotes that I received. The home was cleaned regularly so there should not have been much of the first time deep clean needed. She had made the comment that I had a lot of stuff in the home. I don't have a cluttered home but do have artwork on the walls that requires light dusting. Choose not to use the services as the pricing was much higher than any other quote I received.
Description of Work: Requested quote for bi-monthly home cleaning.

Everything was done great even cleaned the tracks on the sliding glass doors (we have 5 sets of them) Trim and Bathrooms were also completely wiped down and cleaned. Debbie was very good about returning my calls, confirming when she would be in the house, and locking up after. I will definitely be using her for bi weekly cleaning!

Very simply, it went great. Debbie and the other women who helped that day were just great. They worked quickly, quietly and efficiently. They came right when they said they would and they worked until the job was done.
Description of Work: A thorough cleaning of our house. We had not lived there full time for four years so there was a lot to be cleaned. They brought all their own equipment and settled down to work just as we expected

Debbie and her co-worker, Pam, did an excellent job of cleaning my crawl space, which was filled with numerous boxes, lots of dust, and 6 year's worth of cat hair. Pam was on time, and ready to get started. Debbie came a little later, because she was purchasing a few extra supplies. It was a big, dirty, nasty job and one that most cleaning companies won't touch. Yet, these two women jumped right in, got to work, and made great progress. They did an AWESOME job, and I will definitely have them back in the future.

Fantastic!!! I have used several cleaning companies since I have moved to Elgin in the last 5 years... Debbie and her workers are by far the BEST I've seen. I know what clean is... I just don't have the time to do it. Debbie and her staff possess what is missing is most business... PRIDE.. Debbie and her staff take PRIDE in their work and it is quite refreshing. I can't recommend them enough. When they come - they work until the house is clean; they do not rush through it. Also if something wasn't done - they want to know about it so they can make sure they take care of it the next time they are come. Again... I am so happy to finally find a company that takes pride in their work and does such a fantastic job. You will NOT be disappointed!! Very nice and professional too!

As a gift for a family member and per great Angie's List reviews, I contacted and contracted with Debbie's Housecleaning for a family member who has had a tough last 6 months of battling Shingles that got in her eyes, retiring from teaching 3rd grade after 35 years and falling and breaking her elbow and missing the last 3 weeks of school. Needless to say she had gotten behind on a lot of things. For her 60th birthday I had Debbie's Housecleaning come in and her team spent 3 hours getting her home cleaned. The team did an amazing job from the kitchen, 2 1/2 baths, kitchen, living, dining room stairs and primary bedroom. A very professional, prompt and amazing cleaning company! It really made my family members day and I'd highly recommend Debbie's Housecleaning for any cleaning needs.

OMG!!! I have had cleaning people for 40 years. I have NEVER had anyone clean as thoroughly as Debbie. I just watched in amazement at her cleaning places I would never have thought! Inside runners of sliding door - taking apart glass tables completely thoroughly cleaning - every inch of everything! SHe stayed 7 hours! Most cleaning people I have had come running in - wisk through everything some even leave their coats on and out to get to the next house. I have definately found the best of the best!

Debbie returned my call about 10:00AM to tell me she couldn't provide the service herself and that she had called someone else. She called back about 10:45 to tell me that she had had no response and had checked with her church and knew some high school students who were off for the day (snow/cold day) and wanted some money for an upcoming ski trip. She gave me a contact name and number. I called her contact and he and two friends came to my house about 2:00 and worked for 2 and 1/2 hours, helping me complete the move out. I may need help later moving in to my new place and her contact person said to call him. Even if he isn't personally available, he will arrange to have someone help me. After they left, Debbie gave me a follow-up call about 6:45PM just as I was leaving GoodWill after donating some of the things the high school students had helped me move. I highly recommend Debbie and will make use of her services in the future!! I'm delighted with Angie's List for providing me with Debbie's contact information.
Description of Work: Debbie couldn't help with my move and let me know up front. She called another contact and, when that person didn't respond, found some high school students through her church that were on a "snow/cold" day and were available to help. The people she recommended came and did everything I needed. She even followed-up after they left. I'd work with Debbie in a heartbeat. Her actual service has to be great when she's so thorough with even a referral for which she wasn't paid!

Updating my review to reiterate how pleased we have been with Deb. She has cleaned our home every other week now for 3.5 years. She and her helpers (mostly we have had Laura and Bethany) are a joy to have around. They are so respectful of our home and do a wonderful and thorough job of cleaning. Deb has been very accommodating if we need to change our day or if we need her to adjust the order in which she cleans our home due to something going on here. (i.e. friends over while she would be cleaning the family room, so she would do the upstairs instead). Deb and her crew have been very patient with our dogs, and very kind to them. We have recommended Deb's services to friends who have also been very pleased. Debbie is a very ethical and honest person on top of being great at her job. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

They are really good. I'm very happy with them. I love working with Debbie, she's very responsible, and so are her employees. If there's a problem and someone can't show up, she gets right to me and tries to set up another meeting. They bring all their own supplies, and take care of everything for me.

Debbie and Susan have been to my house twice now, and they are very thorough. They noticed that our house, even though we had a cleaning service before this, needed deep cleaning these first few weeks. They are doing a great job, I'm very pleased. Susan will be working every Friday. Debbie called me back right away to set up an appointment to come and give me an estimate and I could tell right away she was very kind, very experienced and very professional. She asked many questions to find out exactly what I expected to be done. She just wants to satisfy our needs. I'm very happy I found Debbie on Angie's List. They are conscientious and hard workers. The've gone above and beyond what I've asked them to do. I would recommend them to anyone looking for responsible, dependable, and trustworthy housekeepers.

We read the great reviews of Debbie and were pleased with her when we first met her. I don't know if something has happened to her since those reviews, but she's completely unreliable. Of the four times we were scheduled to have our house cleaned, she just plain didn't show three of those times, and left a sob story on our voicemail afterwards. She was supposed to come last week and did it again, and has yet to call us to reschedule. It's really aggravating because we were counting on having our house cleaned and she left us high and dry. Plus, we always try to clean for the cleaning lady, and so it's a waste of our time when she cancels or just doesn't show up. We thought her price was high for this area, but the times she did come, she did an excellent job. Actually, her assistant, Laura, did a fantastic job. In fact, she should start her own company! But my one complaint about the actual cleaning would be that Debbie is so slow. The last time she came she didn't finish until 5:45 pm and I had to delay my children's dinner by one hour while she slowly finished in my kitchen. It was a bit awkward that she didn't seem to pick up the pace at all knowing I was waiting with two kids in the other room. Overall I would give her an F, since only 25% of the time did she actually come when she said she would. And those times she cancelled she either did it late the night before (after we had spent the evening straightening up) or was just a no-show. Her quality was great, but it was almost excessive since she took so long. I realize that sometimes things come up, and that's why I forgave her the first two times, but never again. You just can't run a business like that.
