The cleaning professionals were courtesy, on-time, and did a terrific job. Scheduling was a pleasure, too. I highly recommend.

It went well. Supervisor was in constant contact with workers since they couldn’t speak English so she served as translator via phone. They did an ok job. They were young and slow.
Description of Work: Cleaned the kitchen and the living room area. Mopped the hallway and bathroom floors. Took out trash to trash shoot.

Got scammed out of money, only one cleaner came to my home and stayed 2.5 hours and I was charged for a 5 hour service. Reached out multiple times to speak to manager and never got a call returned, also was told they would speak and verify this with my landlord and they never reached out to my landlord. Worker also only spoke Spanish and could not communicate with us well. Still have yet to receive a call back

I'm only giving 3 stars because the couple who came to clean were very nice and they did a good job overall. They took much longer than I'm used to given my condo size but since it was their first time here, I didn't mind paying a little extra. My rating mostly applies to the horrible professionalism (or lack thereof) from management. Gary was responsive before my appointment. The day of my appointment and thereafter, he's been nonresponsive. When I finally got in touch with him, he was rude and unprofessional with no accountability displayed for not responding. I was going to hire them for regular service but that phone call changed my mind. I like to work with friendly businesses and professional attitudes. This is not it! I would hire the couple who cleaned but not via this business. They couldn't even produce a simple receipt until I followed up several times. Gary should treat his customers better!

Express Maid was okay. They took 4 hours to clean a 800 sq ft vacant apartment and then charged me double what their original estimate was.

Their service was excellent. One thing i found in cleaning service is that they don't listen. Express Maid listened and did exactly what i told them to do and they clean the way they suppose to clean, they moved thing around, swept under things, they were very thorough and the cleaning was exceptional.

I have used several different maid services over the years and the team from Express Maid was one of the best! They were efficient, thorough, and cared for the specific cleaning concerns I had without a problem. Gary was communicative in setting up the appointment and keeping me informed along the way. I hope we can continue to do business together!

Received a call back from Gary immediately after putting in a request through Angi. I described the job and he provided a ballpark estimate of the cost. He was able to get the house cleaned within 1 week of our initial contact. They did a nice job of cleaning at a reasonable price. Very satisfied.

They showed up on time, which was great and appreciated. But when I told the main guy that we just had construction done and there was dust and soot literally everywhere (we had two chimneys removed) and I’d like them to literally scrub the walls, he looked puzzled. They didn’t go into the basement at all, which I paid for. When I asked him to clean inside the bathroom closet, he all but said no and told me that would be a lot kore work (??). But aside from all that, there was regular/standard house dust everywhere that they did not clean. Overall, it was just bad and not at all want we needed.

Sorry about the misunderstanding. We needed more time allotted to complete everything. Wish I new, could have sent a crew over the next day to finish everything off. Big post construction jobs take much more time than regular cleaning. thanks for the feedback

The staff were on time, very nice and professional. But when was told about cost I wasn’t told it was person first. Second I requested all the appliances be cleaned very well, the oven wasn’t touch nor the bottom drawer of my stove only the top was wiped down, not even the grease buildup on the sides was cleaned. One bathroom wasn’t cleaned at all. Not sure if or with what they mopped with but it didn’t smell clean. So not fully a good experience!

She did an amazing job. I had limited time and budget. I gave her a punch list of priorities and she did a great job. She was so conscience about her work it totally went against her grain to leave other areas undone. Don't you love that? I had her come back and she had a plan for those areas too.

Our house needed a thorough deep clean after 5 months of construction work. We had two different teams come in, and both did a tremendous job at tackling the many layers of dust and dirt. We requested particular attention to all interior windows, floors, baseboards and wooden blinds, and were really pleased with the results. Our requests on both occasions were made last minute, but were handled quickly and efficiently. We will definitely be using Express Maid again.

They did an amazing job. We had tackled the kitchen stove and some tough wall marks ourselves, but it wasn't good enough for our landlord. So we hired Express Maid. They were very punctual and performed excellent service. Our landlord was pleased and gave us back our full deposit. Additionally the price was extremely competitive. I would hire them back in a heartbeat!!

They didn't. I had to cancel because my flight was cancelled during the recent snowstorm. I left both e-mail message and voice message and did not receive a response. I finally searched through my recent calls in an attempt to find the call from when they called to schedule. The call was answered advised they received my messages. I did not reschedule at that time. They charged my card anyway, even without performing the service. I have contacted twice and both times they said they would issue a refund. Of course they haven't, good thing my credit card company has a conditional credit until this is resolved. My understanding with payment (and I used others services frequently) is the card is charged after the service is performed. The card is held to confirmed the appointment.

I had a great experience with Express Maids. They were very friendly on the phone and arrived on time. They did spectacular work with some disgusting appliances that we had. Our microwave looked brand new after years of dirt. Highly recommend. Would use again.

I have been using Express Maids for over a year. I would recommend. Ana and Candi clean the house and are always punctual and do a great job. If you change your normal schedule you may have to call the office so you are not automatically charged, but other than that things have gone well and I will continue to use.

Very well. A couple of things could have been done better such as cleaning the kitchen cabinets, not sure if they weren't done completely or not at all but my fault for not checking until after they left. But, what I asked them top do or redo they did fine.
