House Cleaning, Window Cleaning

About us

We individualize cleaning services to you and your home. More than 25 years of experience has taught us that every home is as unique as the people living there. The price to clean your home is based on many factors. The size of your home and the frequency for cleaning are some of those factors. But people live with different numbers of pets, different levels of clutter, different surfaces. Pets bring in dirt that we clean. We clean clutter and around it. We clean special surfaces differently.

Description of Work: They cleaned my house and did a fine job. Women are focused and thorough. They provide all the equipment. I thought they were a bit pricy - but they are dependable and the job was done to my satisfaction.

I had to cancel the service because it was not very good. For one thing is they had schedule for certain days and we would have to reschedule and when we reschedule, they say no problem and then they show up when we told them not to show up. I just randomly picked them up but I should have investigated a little more. I had to pay a cancelation fee because of a lousy service. I signed a one-year contract and I was going to pay for the rest of the year and then they weren’t coming when I told them to and they weren’t all that great. The cost depends on how big your house is. The price was good and that was reason why I was getting what I paid for.

Our experience with the cleaners that came to our home was great, everyone was very polite and professional. Unfortunately, the cleanings were rarely anything more than just a quick wipe down. Even the rooms that supposedly received special attention that visit weren't really cleaned any better. Additionally, while we had a set day we never knew when the crew would arrive. One week they would arrive at 9am and the next time it would be closer to 4pm. We tried to keep our schedule so that the crews came on our day off but it was hard to get any other errands done when you never knew what time the crews would arrive. While we weren't always happy with the quality of the cleanings, our biggest problems really were with the office staff. They were unresponsive to our calls and emails most of the time. It wasn't until we chose to end our service that our calls were returned.

Positives: Dependable and staff friendly. However, rarely cleaned house as thoroughly as stated on their list of what is cleaned every visit. i.e. Funiture was almost never dusted even in the room that recieved the" extra deep cleaning". Good job on bathrooms. After many conversations with Owner/Manager, problems were not resolved and we terminated the service.

They were professional and prompt. What I didn't like is that they didn't seem to have availability. We probably would have used them but they didn't have the people.

Description of Work: From my first phone call to the office, to the in-home estimate, to the cleaning, the entire experience was a breath of fresh air. I was nervous at first since I had always cleaned my own home and didn't particularly like the idea of having strangers in my house but, I couldn't be happier. First, I met with Lorie, their wonderful sale representative, who came to my home for a walk through and customized my cleanings so that Merry Maids would come to my home twice a month. Also, to save me money, they offered to clean my whole home minus my guest bedroom (which she priced out separately so I can call to have it cleaned whenever I need) for one visit and then come back 2 weeks later to clean just the floors. I have two Labradors who manage to get the floors dirty fairly quickly so this was a god send! So far, my teams has cleaned my home 5 times and, although, it might be a different set of ladies because my preferred team was out sick for the day, they always come without fail and leave my home sparkling. Every team I've had the pleasure of meeting is very courteous, non-intrusive, respectful, and efficient and, although they have only come 5 times, already feel like family. There is nothing more relaxing then coming home from a long day of work and being able to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee without having to worry about how I'm going to have to spend my evening cleaning instead of spending quality time with my family. Thank you Merry Maids.

I have a baby on a nap schedule and work from home, so one of the reasons I chose Merry Maids was because they confirmed they could be done by noon each time they came, so I scheduled them to come once a month. The first time they were scheduled to come, they called to say they had some issues with their vacuums and weren't going to arrive until close to noon. The second time they did not call and showed up around 11:30. The third time they didn't show at all and I had to call to find out there was some issue and they couldn't come at all that day, and rescheduled for the next day. When they didn't show the next day I called again and they said they thought they'd rescheduled for another day at which point I was extremely frustrated and ready to cancel the service, they begged for me to give them one more chance and would comp the cleaning the next day. The next day they promised they would arrive between 10:30 - 11:00 and if they could come earlier they would call first. They showed up at 9:30 without calling. Working from home with an infant means that I'm developing my schedule and the baby's nap schedule around the time they say they will be here. They never came when they said they would. The quality of cleaning was good, I have no complaints in that department it was the dependability and reliability that was the recurring problem. When I called to cancel the monthly cleanings and explained to the gentleman on the phone the reason that I was canceling, he said very sarcastically "Good luck finding someone else more reliable", which I found very unprofessional and rude. I would not recommend the Merry Maids of Annapolis.
Description of Work: Merry Maids came to clean my house once each month for for three consecutive months. They vacuumed, dusted, mopped, disinfected and did all the basic cleaning they advertised.

We have been very happy with them. We have a contract with them. They come out for standard housecleaning every two weeks. We like that the service is under a contract. They are very responsive in going ahead and making sure that they do the work. We have been very happy with the cleaning. We would continue to use them.

They were nice and did a decent job, but not a immaculate job. I was surprised that they could clean my house (2000 square foot, two story, four bedroom, two and a half bath) in the ninety minute estimate (they actually took only one hour). It takes me hours. And now I know why, they rush too much and don't scrub enough. Twice (in three visits) they've left the toilets with brush marks (I presume they just swish the brush for two seconds instead of scrubbing). Around the sink faucet wasn't scrubbed and had mineral build up. The bathroom rugs aren't cleaned, only moved so they can clean the tile floor. I figured I'm paying about $60 per hour for each woman and I have to go behind them to finish. So I'll be looking for another company.
Description of Work: Two staffers cleaned the house on a bi-weekly basis.

The Merry Maids initial job evaluator was very pleasant, courteous and professional. She asked all the questions that put the work on the exceptional level, rather than just average. This company has trained their personnel to pay a lot of attention to the details. My house was sparkling and smelled fresh and clean when they were done.
Description of Work: Three workers and their supervisor came to clean my two story colonial house on an every other week basis. The workers cleaned the entire first floor, consisting of 5 rooms of hardwood floors on their hands and knees, polished all stainless steel appliances plus regular cleaning.
