I told them what I needed to have done and they gave me an estimate. I am very happy with with. They come out every two weeks. They provide you with a sheet of what they are going to do. I feel the price is reasonable. They are flexible of what they can do and how often you have them.
Description of Work: I use them for housecleaning. They have a check list of 8 things that they do. They have a rotation system for each time that they come.

Description of Work: I am a new member of Angie's list. After reading rave reviews for this company, I just had to add my horrible experience with this company and Mr. Moriarity. This is a legitimate and honest review of what happened to me. I had had this company for some time and was pleased with the cleaning job they were doing. This was shortly after my husband had died and it was a difficult time for me. The first thing I noticed "missing" was a 14 k. gold cuff bracalet with diamomds my husband had given to me. I thought I had misplaced it, but I remembered wearing it and thought I had left it on my dressing table. I kept looking for it, never found it, and sadly thought I somehow lost it. After that individual gold earrings were missing from my jewelery case. Again, I thought, this is so odd . . where am I leaving one earring? When the remaining earrings from the pairs tuned up missing, I did an inventory of my jewelery and found, much to my horror, many items were missing. All 14-18k. gold. At this point I called Mr. Motiearity and filed a police report with the Canton Police. A detective followed up and questioned the women who were cleaning my house. I had the same 2 women the entire time. They denied any complicity, of course. The detective dropped the case -so much for our tax dollars at work. My opinion, and feeling is that they blamed a nephew who was staying with me at the time. He happens to be African American. Perhaps that is a reflection on the police department's lack of pursuing the case -just racism. The owner denied any responsibility, vouched for these women, case closed. So much for bonded and insured. That means nothing. The last straw and proof to me that these women were thieves came later. The cleaning company, and my daughters were the only people who had keys to my house. The cleaning company retuned my key. Of course nothing stopped those women from having a duplicate made when they were in possession of the key. One evening when I was out, before I had my locks changed (and I so regret this), and my nephew was long gone and never had a key, an 18 k. gold ring, custom made with diamonds, was taken from my dressing table. I trust my children. I lost thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, most of it gifts from my deceased husband. Neither the owner or the police were interested in this theft. I had had cleaning people for years prior to this incident and never had anything stolen. I am afraid to hire a company now, since bonded and insured means nothing. And especially with this owner. DO NOT hire this company. Perhaps they have honest employees now, but the attitude and lack of concern and response from the owner is a clue to his character and the reliability of this company. As far as I know, he never fired the accused women. Who knows where they are working now. And it is hard to believe that no other customers suffered losses such as mine. A terrible lesson leaned.

Response from Cleaning Authority
We take theft extremely seriously, even four years later. We cooperated 100% with the police in the matter and it was their investigation that determined we had nothing to do with the missing jewelry. Ms. [member name removed] did not point out that one of her regular cleaners was African-American so if racism is rampant in the department as she claims, the cleaner would have been a target as well. We are bonded and insured and it protects all of our customers each and every day when there is a legitimate claim made. All of our employees go through an extensive background check and we are very confident in their honesty and integrity. We also handle our customers' keys with the most security possible and duplicates are never made by anyone in our office. Thank you for your time reading my response.

Hired Cleaning Authority of Plymouth, MI. They charge $10 extra for each of first two weeks so girls could “get place ready” for future cleanings. Two girls were here for an hour the first time. Soon after, one of the co-owners dropped by unexpectedly explaining that they check up on the girls. She said that the shower and kitchen cabinets were not cleaned well and stayed for two hours cleaning these spots. The next week when the girls arrived they asked if there was a problem and said they heard I had complained. I thought that was odd since I had not complained. The second time they spent only 50 minutes cleaning. I looked around to see what I thought had been missed since I knew she was coming back. She had told me she would be back after the next cleaning because the first time did not meet her standards. Cleaning Authority gives lists of what they do so I only included items that were on the lists. I wasn’t planning on being home that afternoon so I called Cleaning Authority to tell them I would be home the next day so the co-owner could drop by then. When the male co-owner answered the phone, he said many things to me that I thought were inappropriate. He told me that I would never be satisfied with the cleaning from his company because I had so many complaints. I had never complained and only made the list of things to look at after the second cleaning because the co-owner who visited my house said she was coming back. He told me that the girls were not “perfect” and therefore anything that was on my list was not their fault for missing. He repeated his statement that I would never be satisfied. I was rather shocked since I had only completed the first two extra cost cleanings and I would think an owner would be interested in what I thought. I would think a cleaning company owner would want to try and resolve issues rather than encourage a customer to stop using the service. He also said that he apologized for the co-owner who came to my house told me because “she was wrong”. The co-owner who came to my house had told me that the girls should have cleaned for at least two hours for each of the first two cleanings. It was very confusing – almost like there were two different companies. The co-owner on the phone also brought up that I had complained about the extra $10 charge for the first two times. As I remember it, I had questioned what it was for as I would think would most people. I obviously agreed to pay it. I was fairly surprised that he brought this item from the past up. After thinking about it, I wanted to speak with the co-owner who came to my house. I called the office and asked for her, but only received a call back from the office saying they were returning my call. I am no longer using this “service”.

Response from Cleaning Authority
As the owner of The Cleaning Authority in Plymouth for the last ten years, I take customer service very seriously. I want our customers to be satisfied and we get many referrals each year as clients tell others about the high level of service we provide. Unfortunately this is not a fair review and is filled with many inaccuracies. The customer made a racial slur to me about the team in her home and I informed her we would be parting ways which made her upset. Obviously she felt the need to post a derogatory review and I would hope others can see her motives. I will continue to stand up for my employees since they are our biggest asset and work hard each day to deliver complete satisfaction. Please consider The Cleaning Authority for your house cleaning needs, I believe you will be happy you did.

They charge me $100 for each cleaning service. They usually send about three people at a time, and so they’re in and out in about an hour to an hour and a half, which is good because I have four small kids to keep in the house for a short amount of time. That’s why it helps. They’re fast but they’re not that thorough. I wouldn’t say that they do a great job. I will use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: I used The Cleaning Authority for housecleaning. I last used their services last week. I have them come out every other week.

They always send two or three people because I have four smockets. They are usually out of the house within an hour. I don't have to keep my house completely picked up for five hours. They are good in the areas that they do; but I don't like that they do everything so fast. It is always a surface level clean, and not deep clean. It is not as good as, I would do because I would never do it all in an hour.
Description of Work: I hired The Cleaning Authority for house cleaning last week. They come out every two weeks.

The Cleaning Authority (TCA) has cleaned my house 3 times now. My house is about 1000 sq ft and is kept in good condition (for a bachelor). I had an independent who had been cleaning for 20 years. When she left, I had no idea where to turn. I tried a few Craigslist ads but couldn't find what I was looking for -- they were not punctual, missed cleaning important items, etc. I finally paid for an Angie's list subscription and contacted TCA. Chad, the owner, came out quickly and assessed the job. He quoted me a very fair price for the work to be performed. Additional cleaning items were negotiated up front and for example if I want my basement cleaned this time, I just add $12 to my payment and leave a note and they'l take care of it. I talked to one cleaning service who quoted me over $100 for each cleaning and when challenged, responded, "you get what you pay for". Each cleaning day, TCA has arrived on time and ready to work, bringing their own chemicals and tools. So far I am very pleased with TCA and would recommend them to anyone! Update: I have now been utilizing services from The Cleaning Authority for over 4 years. I am very pleased with the service/value they provide. 4 years later I will still recommend them!
Description of Work: What you want cleaned is negotiated up front, although they perform standard cleaning, ie, bedrooms, baths, kitchens, etc. Clean, vacuum, shine, polish. Every 2 weeks they clean 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, 1 kitchen and the living and dining rooms. I've been very pleased.

We have used the Cleaning Authority off and on for the past 2 years. We are (and continue to be) very satisfied with the service overall. They do not subcontract, so the same two girls clean our house every two weeks. We've left notes asking them to focus on specific areas that needed attention and they did a great job.

They have always done an excellent job. Any time we have a problem they take the time to correct it. They have been better about fixing it than we have about pointing out the issues. The prices are about average in the area.
Description of Work: The Cleaning Authority comes out approximately once every two weeks to clean our home. We have been using them for close to a year.

Response from Cleaning Authority
WE MADE EVERY ATTEMPT TO SATISFY HER CLEANING NEEDS BUT COULD NOT MEET HER EXPECTATION TO REMOVE PET WASTE. SHE OFTEN HAD 4-5 DOGS, SOME OF THEM SICK AND ELDERLY, IN HER HOME UNDER HER CARE SINCE SHE IS A VETERINARIAN. SOME HAD INCONTINENCE PROBLEMS AND WOULD URINATE AND LEAVE FECES ON HER KITCHEN FLOOR. WE HAD TOLD HER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WE WERE NOT EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THE SITUATION AND WOULD HAVE TO CLEAN AROUND THE MESSES LEFT BY HER ANIMALS. IN ADDITION, THE EMPLOYEE SHE STATES "LEFT THE COMPANY BECAUSE OF THE BAD SERVICE THEY PROVIDED" IS STILL ACTIVELY EMPLOYED AND HAS BEEN FOR OVER FIVE YEARS. HIS CUSTOMERS LOVE HIM AND APPRECIATE HIS COMMITMENT TO THE CLEANLINESS OF THEIR HOMES. AS THE OWNER OF THE BUSINESS, I PLACED MULTIPLE TELEPHONE CALLS TO HER TO TRY TO ADDRESS THIS RATING AND HER COMMENTS BUT SHE WOULD NOT RETURN MY CALLS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US AT (734) 455-4570 AND WE CAN ANSWER ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS SITUATION.

Cleaning Authority has cleaned our home for several months. Very nice, professional and responsive to requests. I really like the cleaning sheet they leave behind, it contains information about what was cleaned and what is scheduled for next visit.
Description of Work: Cleaning Authority provides bi-monthly cleaning service. They focus on specific areas of the house each time and leave a sheet detailing the work that was done. They do an excellent job on the bathrooms. We have a dog and they are fine with him being home when they come. I like having a bonded/insured company rather than an individual.

The Cleaning Authority provides their service on a regular schedule for an agreed on cost. The ladies performing the cleaning left nothing to be desired as the quality of their work was outstanding. This is a reliable and trustworthy organization that I would recommend to anyone who wishes to take advantage of the best in service.
Description of Work: Maria and Erica cleaned 2-1/2 baths, 4 bedrooms upstairs, Kitchen, Eating area & Laundry Room. All of these were part of the Area of Rotation 1 & 3. On the next scheduled cleaning, Area of Rotation 2 & 4 will be cleaned. By dividing the house into distinct areas of 1,2,3 & 4, extra attention is given to specific tasks and details.
