Everything went well. Although, a little pricey for the overtime that I needed. But, again, they were great and very happy. I already have my next date scheduled. I was originally quoted 213.00 but with one extra hour came out to 274.00 (which what got me a little upset) I gave them both tips (gratuity) when they were done and ready to leave, although if the overtime wasn't so high, I would of gave them more. They deserved that and more. Wonderful women and great to work with. We all worked together. They made me feel very comfortable. And very trustworthy. I would like to add Kim, who works for the company is wonderful friendly and very courteous on the phone. A wonderful personality and totally understands your needs. I have only spoken to Mary the owner through e-mail. Kim will talk you through, help you get the right girls, understands what you want and what you need. I hope Mary is very happy with Kim and very grateful for Peggy and Shelly. They are wonderful people and so comforting and wonderful to have in my home. Next time, only thing negotiable should be pricing. Overall very happy and satisfied!!!! You won't be disappointed! I promise!!!!
Description of Work: Two girls came to help me clean my apartment. They were fantastic!!!!!!! On time, friendly, courteous, professional and very detailed. I would definetly recommend these two women who work wonderfully together. Peggy and Shelly. I am looking forward to my next visit! Cleaned and washed thoroughly living room dining room and bathroom. Windows, blinds, floors, dusting, cleaned ceiling fans, china closet, knock knack cabinet, tables, chairs, oven, walls, and the list goes on....... Truly satisfied and happy.

We are very happy to be doing business with this client and hope to continue our great working relationship that we have recently developed. We would like to address the one issue that has upset them, the cost of overtime. The reason the overtime was an additional $61.00 dollars for this client is because we had sent two women to do the job. Each did an hour of overtime a piece, totaling two Hours of overtime.

Not only did they clean my apartment to a point where I could eat off of any surface, but the office was very attentive to my needs and concerns. For example, I am not a fan of the use of a feather duster as it seems to just move dust around rather than remove it. After the first visit, my cleaner Peggy (who I believe is THE best) made sure to not use a feather duster on any reachable surface. Peggy was in my shower, barefoot, with scrubs under her feet! My shower never looked so clean! I purposely waited until after the 3rd visit to review so as to make sure it wasn't a first/second visit fluke. This company is the real deal. They take pride in their work, and it shows.
Description of Work: I have had cleaning service 3 times. Deep clean, and then 2 follow up appointments once a month. THey cleaned my apartment from top to bottom.

Description of Work: They provide a whole house cleaning. They cleaned all the rooms and services include deep cleaning services. I’ve used them for about 2 years.

It was a fairly easy job as the unit was already painted and there wasn’t any furniture in it. They dusted, vacuumed and one cleaner cleaned a bookshelf and they also cleaned the three bathrooms, doors and vestibules. The one thing that was just a little inconvenient is that they only accepted cash. It was however easy to set up the appointment and I would use their services again.
Description of Work: They came out for a one-time cleaning for a move-in tenant.

They do a spotless job. We've used their services for about a year and we heard about that on Angie’s List. They take care of everything. It’s the same gal every week. Their prices are a little higher than others but we trust her in our home and the cost difference is made by the quality of the work. We also like the responsiveness of the management of the compay. We have also recommended her services to a neighbor and they are also happy with her.

We have been delighted having this person among our clientele since Dec. 2012 and are gratified that she is pleased with our service. These remarks open the door for us to discuss our rates. We carry liability insurance and bonding. We collect state tax and pay all payroll taxes. We give our staff disability insurance and workers comp in addition to contributing to their Social Security. All of our staff are legal to work and read, speak and write English. One can always get someone undocumented to come in off the books and work for less. When compared to other companies that follow all legalities as we do our rates are very competitive.

Both cleaners were very nice. One was experienced, and worked extremely hard. She got down on the floor, and cleaned the bathroom tiles one at a time. The other worked hard, but was less experienced, and didn't get as far as I'd hoped. The agency followed up, and I told them the problem. They offered to send the fellow around to complete the job. Unfortunately, I didn't see that email until a few days later. What I appreciate about this agency is that they follow up, and were VERY concerned about the problem, and wanted to do what they could to rectify it. I would trust them on future jobs.

It went extremely well. Valerie and Malik came to clean and did an exceptional job. They were both very professional and friendly. They got right to work and did everything I asked without question. Valerie was very organized and took charge of making sure that she and Malik coordinated their efforts. They cleaned for 3 hours and were able to get almost everything done and done very well. I highly reccomend both Valerie and Malik and Best Home Services. Kudos to Mary Cavanaugh. She runs a great company and she is service oriented. I will be using them again!!!
Description of Work: I called Best Home Services because I renovated my 3 bedroom co-op and I knew I would need a lot of help cleaning when the renovation was complete. ...and I was right . There was an enormous amount of cleaning to do and Mary advised me on the length of time I would need, suggested two people to cleaninstead of one, and gave me a list of cleaning products to buy. She was right on with all her suggestions. She also accomodated a Sunday cleaning, which I was very grateful for considering my work schedule.

4 hours of home cleaning service which was arranged by Mary, the owner, a very pleasant and hands on person. We had to adjust the schedule once based on the avail of the cleaners but it was no problem and handled effectively. Chantal, the woman who cleaned, was super polite and went straight to work proactively.

Response from Best Home Services
We are sorry that this client found our response rude. We did use caps in the body of her response to us so that we could address all of her points with the caveat at the top that we were not shouting. "lot's of talking back" was our effort to address her many points. This client did not request a usual cleaning but rather had very specific issues so while we told our staff there would be specific requests we expected her to go over them on-site. That is normal since often the actuality is different from the conversation. Never seems to bother anybody else. Sorry it bothered her. She was not happy with the service and I believe the problem was insufficient time. The kitchen ceiling, which is very difficult to clean, took a long time as did the bathroom particularly because we did not have proper supplies.. We send every client a list of suggested supplies very few of which were there which accounts for her dissatisfaction. We have reviewed our response and while it was in caps we do not think it was rude and are very sorry that she did.

In January 2013, my cleaning lady moved away, after working with me for nearly 6 years. (I know this isn't a textbook tragedy, but it felt like one to me.) I turned to Angie's List and found Best Home Services, desperately in need of a cleaning service, and if you are in such a position, stop now and book them. They are the absolute best. When you enlist this amazing service, your conversations begin with Mary Cavanaugh, who is the utmost professional. Not only does she manage the service beautifully, but she pays special attention to the needs of your particular apartment / house and has great insight into which of her employees would be the best match for you. If you're as lucky as I am, you'll be matched with a certain employee of hers. I don't want to give her name because I don't want her to become too popular and become unavailable. Let me just say - she has been a dream. From day 1, I trusted her with keys to my apartment. She cleans beautifully and thoroughly. My apartment is simply a greater place because of her. This service is efficient, sensitive, professional, and endlessly reliable. Again, stop searching now. They are the best money you will spend today.
Description of Work: I enlisted Best Home Servicing to clean my apartment after my cleaning lady moved away. They provided the most incredible and amazing service. I could not be happier. From my carpets to my kitchen to all aspects of my apartment, my home has never looked or smelled better.

I poked around for a good six months for even a tip on a good housekeeper or cleaning service and I always came up empty. I was either out of the service area or the service was so busy they weren't taking new clients. I even put a call out to the folks in my building. Nothing. As a last ditch effort I subscribed to Angie's List to see if I could find someone. I read the reviews on Best Home Services and thought I would try one more time. I am VERY satisfied with The Best.. There were a couple of miscommunications at first, but that was okay. Not a big deal and part of the process of getting to know one another, I would say; and once I was out of cell phone and internet range. Sueann is a whirlwind of competence and efficiency. I am grateful for her hard work and energy, and how she works around my basket of laundry, the piles of paper on my desk, and the two times I didn't have the energy to do laundry so the mop head went untouched. She is very professional and I am truly and sincerely grateful. Within the scope of my experience and the individuals with whom I have dealt, I would recommend Best Home Services to anyone.
Description of Work: All surfaces cleaned and/or dusted; hardwood floors and baseboards mopped and cleaned; bathroom scrubbed top to bottom; kitchen surfaces, cabinets, stove top (I don't use the oven very much, it's close to pristine); vacuum carpets, top o' the 'fridge (YES!); windows on French doors; and on first visit even cleaned my walls! And I have way too much pottery and decorative CRAP in nooks and crannies--and they're dusted too.
