Hi [Member Name Removed], I just tried to call you - We never received a phone call or message from you regarding a quote. This must be a misunderstanding. Please call us so we can discuss as this review really is not fair.

I have known Debbie for years. She is professional and runs a good business. Overall I am more than pleased with the bi-weekly service I have with Brooms over Broome. Always a few small details that could be improved upon, but when it comes to bathroom, kitchen, and floors cleaning, they do the things I don't want to do on a regular basis.

Overall, I am very happy with my initial cleaning. Three ladies came into my home and worked for 90 minutes. My house was relatively clean to begin, but I thought they did a thorough job. They vacuumed, moped, dusted, wiped down glass and wood furniture, made my bed with fresh sheets, vacuumed my living room furniture (lots of dog hair), and cleaned bathrooms. I noticed that the dusting job in the living room wasn't great, so I emailed the owner of the company that day. She responded right away and assured me that she would let the cleaners know for next time. I'd recommend!

All of the the gals that came to my house were terrific - just like the gals next door. Thoroughly enjoyed having them and never worried about theft --and that was very important to me. All the teams did a fairly good job at cleaning but some were crackerjacks and needed no supervision at all to do an amazing job. Others required supervision which I personally don't like having to do. On one occasion, I found that the Long TV Table that holds our 52" TV was only dusted in the front. A little surprised, I asked why that was, I was told that the gal's arms were too short to get to the back of the table (48" long x 21" depth). I did not know what to say as that is a 9 year old child's excuse. Needless to say the issue was rectified. Just know that depending upon the team, you will need to do your own supervision.

Hi [Member Name Removed], Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We try very hard to keep the same team going back to the same houses, but sometimes, especially with scheduling obstacles on the customer's end, this is very difficult for us. Had we known you prefer one team over another we would have tried very hard to make sure that happened for you each month. We have enjoyed working with you over the years, and hope in the future if you decide to book our cleaning services again, we could earn an A from you as it is very important we achieve that from each and every one of our customers.

Brooms Over Broome was INCREDIBLE! They arrived promptly and the crew of three got right to work. They cleaned everything, even things I would have never thought to do like the tops of the doors and the vent fans and lights in the bathroom. They paid close attention to every detail, and continuously asked me if I was satisfied with their work. I only found one minor issue and it was addressed promptly and they were very apologetic. Our stove in the kitchen had come with the house, and it was in need of some serious attention. By the time they were done it looked almost new in spite of it being over twenty years old. These amazing women cleaned my entire house in a little over three hours, where the last company I used had taken all day, and "Brooms" work was FAR superior. They also contacted me a few days prior to the service to review exactly what I wanted done, and a few days after to make sure I was satisfied with the results. Not many companies do that anymore. I will definitely be calling Brooms Over Broome the next time I need a cleaning service!

Service was wonderful! The crew arrived in a timely fashion and were very professional. They took a few minutes to introduce themselves and got right to work. They were very efficient. I was prepared beforehand on what to expect and got exactly what they told me I would. I felt like they really cared about me and my home and wanted to help me. I asked them to do something that was not on their cleaning list (inside of my microwave) and they did it for me, no questions asked. I will be using their service again, and feel like I am getting a top notch service at a very affordable price. I have used other franchise cleaning companies, and also small one person operations and feel this company is the perfect in-between. Quality with peace of mind at an affordable price.

I've been using Brooms over Broome's cleaning service for over a year now, and never once have I been displeased or unsatisfied. A team of three girls always arrive on time and leave in a timely manner, making sure I'm happy with their services before they leave. And the price is unbeatable! I have a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, kitchen, living room and dining room that is cleaned for $85! Nicole and Debbie are very professional and helped answer all of my questions. I would recommend Brooms Over Broome to anyone looking for an amazing clean and a professional service!

I arrived home to find something stuck to the floor in front of the kitchen garbage. While cleaning it up, I moved the garbage can. To my dismay, the garbage can had not been moved during cleaning. It was filthy behind the can. After taking a look around, I was disappointed to see that all my bathroom vanities had a film on them, the living room waste can had not been emptied and I could see dust on the back of the leather sofa. I swiffered the kitchen floor and was dismayed at how dirty it was. I swiffered my bedroom and was angry at the result. See the attached pictures. When I called Nicole she indicated she wanted to make it right. She stated she had just spoken with the girls who had cleaned the house and they indicated it had gone well. She stated they did "extra" things as the house was relatively clean. Nicole stated that they cleaned inside the microwave just to do a little extra. Let's just say, I cleaned inside the microwave after she pointed out that it was dirty. There is NO WAY anyone had cleaned it before me. She texted me the next day indicating that she would refund 1/2 my money or offer a free house cleaning! WHAT?! I indicated to Nicole I expected a full refund in addition to the gratuity I had left as my house was NOT clean. She told me to "work" with her. I indicated I was not willing to work with her as the work I had hired her agency to complete was not done. Needless to say, the experience was not at all what I had hoped for. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.
Description of Work: I hired Brooms over Broome for a house cleaning. I spoke with Nicole and we discussed what I was looking to have done. 2 1/2 bathrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen and 2 bedrooms. My home has mostly hard wood floors. I advised Nicole that I wanted them vacuumed and swiffered. Regular cleaning for all other rooms.

I am sorry that you were disappointed in our cleaning services. Per your request you did not want your floors mopped, and they did swiffer through your home. We are not sure where the dirt from you swiffers came from, we only do this once in a basic cleaning and do not move furniture. I apologize our cleaning specifications are not up to your standards. The complaints you had add up to around $15 and we were offering you half back plus the tip ($65), or a free cleaning ($90 value) which we felt was more than fair, and you were very clear that you were "NOT willing to compromise". You gave us very little chance to be able to do anything. A full refund is not justified as we did still clean your home. Our offer still stands.

After reading reviews on Angie's List, I arranged for the "thorough" cleaning service from Brooms Over Broome. A crew of three very pleasant young women just left after 3+ hours of quiet, steady work. They paid attention to details: moved furniture and knick-knacks; took care of a couple of years worth of dust (mea culpa!) on the book shelves; did inside windows; and micro, oven and fridge as expected, along with the usual vacuuming, mopping, and scrubbing, etc. After they left, I spot-checked a few places, and found two that could have used a little more love...but I'm chalking it up to experience, in that now I know what to ask for. Honestly, I can't speak to value, as I didn't do any price comparisons, but I have no complaints regarding the price I paid (I got a 10% one-time Angie's List discount). This was the first time I have ever used a cleaning service, and I would a) recommend Brooms Over Broome without hesitation, and, b) call on them again.

We didn't end up doing the work...but my experience leading up to it was great. She is very professional and was very fair in her pricing. She had a great vision and took her time coming up with an accurate estimate. I would absolutely recommend calling on her for your next project.
Description of Work: This review is long overdue. I called on Deborah for a quote on a project and she was extremely professional. She responded to my call within 24 hours and gave the best price out of the three companies I called. I didn't end up going through with the project for reasons outside of her area of expertise, but I can say without a doubt that I would recommend calling on her company to get a quote. She worked SO hard in getting the correct estimate for me. I felt SO bad that I couldn't give her my business because she is a true professional and I was really looking forward to seeing her vision come to life. I have her business card and can't wait to call on her when the right opportunity comes along.

Team was led by company owner's son. Was professional and polite, yet friendly and easy to talk with. Carefully consulted with us on paint colors. Offered helpful suggestions. Prepared surfaces well. Double-coated everything. Returned for touch ups, where warranted. Cleaned up impeccably. Got the job done quickly and exactly as promised. Results look great.
Description of Work: Provided quick assessment and estimate of the scope of the work. Estimate aligned well with others we had gathered. Pressure washed and painted selected areas of our home's exterior, including cedar siding and foundation.
