About us

Chore Chick is the creation of Amy Schumacher. Like many other entrepreneurs, Amy was working in a job that she wasn’t sure was really “her” and had been doing side projects for extra money. As the “side projects” became more and more frequent, she decided to turn her side business into a full-fledged endeavor. Amy comes from Wisconsin originally and attributes her current breadth of capabilities to growing up working on a dairy farm. She and her two brothers were responsible for fixing, maintaining, and ensuring that the farm was in working order. Amy has always juggled multiple projects and roles, so creating “Chore Chick” was a logical step. Chore Chick was founded on the ideals of providing the best customer service possible while providing the best service possible. A small business run by the owner with part-time help. Daily operations from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday.

I need to publically apologize for my most recent review. It was done in anger and should never have seen this page. These ladies are great and they do very good work. This project took longer than expected, but as I mentioned, the weather was a little uncooperative. I do have some other concerns, but they really don't have anything to do with their work.

Our garage was a mess. Our shed was a mess. So we asked the Chore Chicks if they could drive a truck up to the shed and help us clean it out. Turns out, we didn't want, or need, most of the stuff in the shed. We then moved the things we wanted from the garage into the shed. Wow! We now had a big space, but with possible wiring issues. So off came all the drywall, and sure enough, the wiring was bad in some places. So we had new wiring run, added an automated light over the stairs into the house, added insulation, drywall and one coat of white paint. I know it sounds like a lot of work for a garage, but we can park both cars in the garage, I can see the steps into the house at night, and with the insulation, the house is warmer when it is really cold outside and the wind is blowing. The garage project started in May 2017 and ended in December 2017. They were great about the multiple delays: waiting for us to finish our part of the project, vacations, electricians, and all of the vagaries that plague any project. We will hire them again for our next project.

Horrible. I've paid The Chore Chick around $500 for various things around the house. Had a closet that needed to be repaired, they said they could do it and it would be able to hold a lot of weight. Day after "repair" and with only clothing hanging, the closet broke again. Contacted them and they said they couldn't do anything about the repair and that I wouldn't get my money back. They haven't answered my last email over a month ago either. So I gave them my money to fix this for no reason cause we're back at square one and I lost $70.

Amy and a co-worker did a great job. They gave me an estimate for the work, They came when they said they would; I told them what I wanted done and went in the house. They did not miss a thing. I will recommend them and use them again..
Description of Work: Due to ill health I have been unable to do any work in the small area I have since April. They cleaned off the patio, pulled weeds, cut back ferns, and made everything look neat and cared for.

Perfect! No problems at all!
Description of Work: They removed some old carpet and coutertops that had been removed from our home. While there I asked if she could remove a couple of trees from the backyard and she gave me a very good quote and returned the next day to remove them. They did an excellent job at both, very friendly, great communication and on time!

The chore chick came in with a trailer and loaded all the brush up and hauled it off for me. She was punctual, thorough, conscientious, and her price was well worth it to me since I had no way to haul it off. We also used her for several other assorted odd jobs involving mostly hauling off junk or brush or mowing and she performed all these well. I would recommend her to anyone needing help with an odd job.
Description of Work: I hired the Chore Chick to remove a pile of brush I had cut and had piled up in my backyard.

Amy came right away to give a free estimate. She was professional and personable. She worked with me on scheduling to my convenience and around the inclement weather. I was so impressed with the work and how nice everything looked. I came home from work and it was all done - everything neat and clean and all the work done. I highly recommend Chore Chick.

Ms Schumacher was extremely pleasant to deal with, efficient, neat and thorough. She made a heavy job seem easy which put me at ease regarding the lifting the job entailed. She has a great attitude, projects professionalism, and trustworthiness. She was prompt, quicker than I expected, and I felt as if my job was her top priority, so her customer service/people skills are excellent.
Description of Work: Ms. Shumacher was terrific to deal with. I needed plaster board, wood and nails/screws removed from a basement once I had removed them from the walls, hauled and dumped at the county dump site.

.I called Amy (chorechick) to come out and give me an estimate on trimming three large bushes and cutting front and back yard. The backyard was a mess and hadn't been cut in quite a few weeks. She gave me a very reasonable estimate and came out the when see estimated she could get out and did the job. The job was professional and I will use her in the future for more work I need done.
Description of Work: Trimmed three very large and overgrown bushes. I thought they looked like trees, the tops were over the roof. Cut front and backyard. Backyard was in pretty neglected state.

I called her about doing the job on a Monday. We played phone tag for a couple of days, but once we connected, she came that afternoon to look at what I wanted done. She sent me a written estimate the next morning by e-mail. This all occurred during the really hot spell of early July. I told her I wasn't in a particular hurry and it would be okay with me to wait until the heat broke. She said okay, but e-mailed me the next Wednesday (July 4) to see if she could come due it the next morning. She arrived within 5 minutes of her estimated start time and went right to work. Within 3 hours, she and her helped had cleared the hillside of ivy (english and poison) as well as removed it all from my wall, windows, and air conditioner. She tilled it repeatedly to make sure the roots were out. She cleaned out the garden on the other side of the house also, clearing it of poison ivy and walnut tree saplings. Some of the saplings were to large to remove manually but she made sure and tell me that. She and her helper cleaned and bagged it all up and removed it from the property so I didn't have to deal with it at all. It was a wonderful experience and I would definitely use her again.
Description of Work: Cleared a hillside full of english ivy mixed with poison ivy. Also cleared another garden of walnut tree saplings and poison ivy.

She ended up recommending I contact another lawn service for the treatment work I needed, but I was impressed that she took the time to evaluate the job and call me back with an honest assessment. I wish it would have worked out because I liked her style.
Description of Work: I had contacted more than one service, but this was the only one who responded. Even though the service I described was not one she normally performed, she stopped by my yard and gave me an assessment anyway.

It was hard getting scheduled at first, due to rainy month of May. But once they started, they were great. They worked very hard for several hot days. Didn't just cut the ground cover and wild bushes, but worked at getting most of the roots out. Great job cleaning up each day they were there. Raked the area to remove any leaves, twigs, etc that landed on the lawn. Used blower to remove dirt/mulch debris in the driveway. They did an excellent job of hard physical labor in not easy conditions, with no complaints. Will definitely use Chore Chick twice a year to keep the place in shape.
Description of Work: I bought a house with heavily landscaped borders around the back yard. Arthritis stopped me from being able to take care of it several years ago. The garden borders are about 4' wide all around the 100'x100' yard and were overgrown with thick ground cover, wild bushes, volunteer trees, and some heavy climbing vines along the length of the fence on two sides. Some virginia creeper (which I am very allergic too) and poison ivy in places. I had Amy's company remove all the ground cover, wild growth, vines, etc, and cut down and remove one dead tree. Also decided to have her mulch the cleaned areas (extra cost).
