I find the fee a very poor way to treat a customer. If I was charging $.50 for a cup of coffee, I understand it. However, their prices are certainly high enough for their credit card fees to be a business expense. Won't be using them again. My impression is that the local owner does not have the ability to not charge the fee, it is ordered by the home office. Could lose her some other business in Fort Wayne area also.
Description of Work: I have used cottage care for cleaning for the past year or so. I have always been pleased, however, I learned today that their home office is charging $5.00 additional if a person uses a debit card.

It was great. The manager was very nice and they were so very responsive. The cleaners showed up on time and did a great job cleaning my home. I have hired them to come once a month for total housecleaning.

I got tired of Cottage Care. They were getting ready to increase their price. The reason why I terminated them was because, they kept saying there were things that they could not do. I thought it was crazy, she kept saying that it was OSHA. I said what, OSHA says that you can't clean up pet pee. They should be not so, "We can't do that" type of people.

Description of Work: We had one or two courteous and fully professional cleaners care for our large house every three weeks. They cleaned every room by dusting all hard surfaces including the lights, cleaning the bathroom thoroughly, and sweeping/mopping all floors

The call for the estimate was pretty straightforward and the price quoted seemed in line with other services.They showed up a few minutes later than the range of time given (Said they would be there between 12 and 1, showed up at about 1:10). One person came at that time and another followed a half hour or so later. Not uniformed, but altogether very pleasant folks. Supervisor stopped by during the cleaning and took a tour, not really much feedback to give her at the time since they were only partially done. It would seem to make sense to come after they are done. They did call the next day but wasn't able to take the call.
Description of Work: Not really a BAD job, but I expected a professional company to do at least as good as I can do myself, which they did not. They missed dusting several areas, shower was only partially done... streak marks on TV and stove. All in all, the place needed cleaning - and they did clean - mostly. I will be looking for another cleaning company.

I selected them based on previous Angie's List reviews. I had recently cancelled service with another provider that was just not doing an adequate job. Cottage Care did an excellent job on the first major cleaning the their follow up visits have been excellent as well. We've used them for 2 months now with excellent service. What I like about them, especially compared with our previous service is the communication. Each time they clean I receive a phone call from the manager the day before to confirm the appointment and ask about any special needs. I've received follow up from their management asking how they are doing. How refreshing! They show up on time on a specific date every other week. They are very prompt and professional. The service performed is very good. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: They perform house cleaning for us every other week. I hired them about 2 months ago and they have been here every two weeks to clean our home.

We originally selected Cottage Care because their price was the best in town. The first time we used them, they did an okay job so we invited them back for our pre-Christmas housecleaning. This time, they only sent one girl and she appeared to be in a bad mood from the outset. I left her alone and she went about cleaning. Overall, she did do an okay job. Her supervisor even came to inspect...I liked that. It wasn't until the next day, during Christmas dinner, that the shortcomings started to show. In more than one location, the dusting was only a swipe. It was very obvious once we got down to look at surface level. This wasn't new dust that had settled, there was an obvious swipe where the cleaner only made a half-hearted attempt. We will not be having them back.

This team is thorough and gracious! They even go so far as to get down on their knees and clean the tile flooring. Stains on the carpet? They'll apply one of our stain removers and work it up, the proper way, by blotting. We are reminded of their pending visits the day before, and they are very accommodating of requests such as please only clean the guest bedrooms and bath once a month, unless we ask otherwise. They have noted that guests are coming for Easter so will focus on that space both before and after the holiday...and they reminded me! We have hired them to clean my father-in-law's house before putting in on the market. I am totally confident that they will do a wonderful job.
Description of Work: We have a four bedroom, 1 1/2 story home, with a large, fully finished basement. Cottage Care has been cleaning our home, every other week, for a couple of months. Their first visit (post-estimate) is a full day of highly focused cleaning. They then take several hours (four or five) on follow-up visits.

I have been using the services of Cottage Care for about a year and am completely happy with them, which is the first time I can say that about a cleaning service. They bring all their own equipment and supplies, and the cleaning products they use leave the house smelling fresh, with no heavy perfume or industrial pine fragrances.
Description of Work: I have Cottage Care come in monthly to do a thorough house cleaning--and they are thorough! They vacuum and dust all the nooks and crannies, from the ceiling fans to the baseboards. They clean the bathrooms from top to bottom. They scour my stove and kitchen counters and make them shine. They wash the tile and wood floors. And they get all the dog hair off my sofa and the dog nose prints off my glass doors.

I have always been leery about having someone else clean my house thinking no one would meet my standards. My husband convinced me I should at least check it out so I could have a bit more "me" time. The folks at Cottage Care were friendly, professional and extremely proactive. They gave me an estimate over the phone based on the rooms I needed cleaned and were able to do the first cleaning the very next week. The provider arrived exactly when they said she would, brought all her own cleaning supplies (including vacuum) and set to work. I was surprised that she was still there several hours later as my house is not typically "dirty", but she had done such a thorough job I literally had tears in my eyes I was so happy. The cost quoted originally was adjusted just a bit as I had forgotten a few spaces that needed cleaning, but was still extremely reasonable, particularly for the high quality of service I was receiving. They use all natural products and, I kid you not, my house "gleams" when she's finished. They followed up with me after the first cleaning to make sure I was satisfied and asked for further feedback. Things were done so well, I couldn't offer any suggestions. We've now had several visits and each is as good as the first experience. I most enthusiastically endorse this provider if you want a quality job of housecleaning done at a reasonable rate. My weekends are now spent doing things I love to do versus the housework I have to do - it's made an incredible difference in my life. Thanks, Cottage Care - keep doing what you're doing!!!!

I was under a tight time frame (less than a week's notice) and was pleased that they were able to commit 2 people 1 full day to this task. In the afternoon the owner joined the other two workers to help get the work done and did not charge extra. I would recommend them to others without hesitation.

I was having a difficult pregnancy and needed to have the kitchen and bathrooms scrubbed. I had this done once before by a different company and they charged $150. So when I called and they gave me the price of $85 I was shocked. I also wondered what kind of results I would get for $85. They showed up on time and actually did what I asked. They did not waste time on things I did not request as the other company did. They did an excellent job. My bathrooms looked and felt like I was in a hotel. They detailed the kitchen including the floor and all the appliances. When they left I found a hand written note expressing how they appreciated my business. I also received a call a few days later making sure I was satisfied. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: They cleaned my kitchen and all bathrooms in the house.
