Everyone is great, Brenda is a wonderful person as is the owner Jocelyn. I found them by an internet search and am thrilled that I did. It is a vacation home, they are my eyes, ears, arms and legs and provide comfort knowing that they will go the extra mile to watch my back. They do everything well. Do not hesitate to call.
Description of Work: House watching service for our vacation home. Great company who goes above and beyond. They provide housekeeping, handyman, and can setup everything and anything that you need. 5 star service!

Votre was hired to assemble some Ikea furniture; they estimated 2-3 days and their men stayed for 7 days. I sent the detailed links from Ikea site with all items that needed to get assembled plus assemble manuals. making excuses every day on why the job could not be completed Of course the were heavily incentivized not to finish since they charge by the hour. 2-3 day estimate versus 7 days on the job!!! Finally had to get another contractor to finish the job
Description of Work: nothing that worked

Response from A VOTRE SERVICE!
Please allow us to respond to the remarks made by your member. What your member says about the 2-3 days original “guesstimate” is correct, however, he omits to mention several important factors. 1) The “guesstimate” to complete the work in 2-3 days was given over the phone sight unseen-IKEA photos of items and manuals do not paint the whole picture on how long it might take to assemble each item. 2) The moment we were at the house and saw what the work entailed, we immediately advised your member that it would take 5-7 days to do the assembling. 3) He added 7 couches and 1 BBQ to assemble to his original request. 4) The work was completed within the estimated 5-7 days and no other contractor was hired to take over. 5) We did not charge him per hour actually worked but by items, which resulted in an over $1000 discount on the final bill for which we have not received payment of yet. With all due respect what this member is saying is untruthful. We trust that we gave the best possible service under difficult circumstances as the house was still undergoing construction and the work place was chaotic. We were not only cooperative and responsive but we remained professional at all times, even under the constant threat of being given an unfavorable review on your site. It is unfortunate that your member chose to do so even though we fulfilled our obligations.

I have never posted a review before but had such an unpleasant experience with this company that I felt it was worth taking time time to describe my experience. We initially hired this company to clean our summer rental home and were given an estimate by phone as to how many hours it would take. We were shocked to receive our bill and discover that the estimated time was much longer than discussed by phone despite the fact that we had, following our initial phone call with AVS, reduced the number of rooms needed to be cleaned. We were also disappointed that certain standard procedures (i.e., having the outside grill cleaned) were included in the cost without having been explained as standard (or requested from me) during the initial phone call. This is not my main complaint, however. When I called the company to request further information about what took extra time and to express concern about the drastic difference in estimated versus actual time taken, I found that the company was unwilling to make any adjustments. Instead they became quickly defensive and sarcastic on the phone. And most importantly, when I explained that my experience with them was so poor as to lead me to write a negative review of their service, I received an email from their attorney outlining the narrow qualifications that permitted such reviews. It makes me wonder whether other potential negative reviews aren't posted here due to similar letters that insinuate legal action. I gave a B for quality because the house, after all, was cleaned thoroughly. On that end I can understand the positive reviews others have listed. F for price because two weeks later we had a different service clean the house equally as thoroughly in half the time and half the price. F for responsiveness and professionalism probably don't need further explanation if you've read the above. Punctuality gets N/A as we were not at home when the women arrived on the date of the cleaning.

Member, please allow us to respond to your comments. First of all, the “only” reason you received a letter from our attorney is because you verbally threatened us stating that you were going to post comments all over the internet claiming that we are a dishonest company. We are a reputable business since 1994 and we take offense to that unfounded and very untrue statement. Going back to the original phone conversation when you inquired about hiring us for cleaning service--you stated that you were a renter, that you had been at the house for a month and that it had not yet been cleaned. The estimate given to you over the phone was sight unseen. You were clearly explained that we could not give you an accurate estimate, only a ballpark range, as that the time it would take to clean depends on the overall condition, size, laundry, etc. You were told out rate and you agreed to proceed. Also, the quote you were given did not factor the laundry since you told us there will be none. However, at the last moment you added laundry to the service. It took 2 hours more than the estimated ballpark you were quoted, which is not unreasonable. You were charged for the time it took to do the job, nothing over. We cleaned the grill because it is typically part of our cleaning service. When you firmly objected, we refunded you the time it took to clean it. We will end this by telling you that, in the same manner that we treat all of our clients, we did our very best to accommodate you on short notice and gave you reliable and quality service.

Approximately 3 months ago, I began using A Votre for weekly cleaning of my house. Services are always detail oriented. I never have to worry that something will not be done to my specifications. All work is done to PERFECTION. I could not be happier. The individual assigned to us is wonderful and very professional. From the standards of how floor and tile cleaning are completed, to the restocking of supplies as they dwindle, to the cleaning out of the refrigerator, folding of clothes, and to the wonderful little extras (prepare for folded toilet paper roles, and a tissue flower on the top of your tissue box!). Wow. I will continue to recommend A Votre to any and all who are looking for exceptional cleaning services!
Description of Work: A Votre provides for my weekly cleaning needs (4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 3600 sq feet). This includes washing of sheets and towels, making beds, cleaning of appliances, floors, detail work, etc.

I used to think no one could care about my home as much as I do. I was wrong. Jocelyne and Brenda do. After hiring AVS to do a top-to-bottom cleaning for a newly purchased weekend house two years ago, I wasn't sure I needed such a full-service to handle ongoing maintenance. Wrong again. They're absolutely passionate about home keeping and all that entails. It shows in every aspect of the business. An A grade on Angie's should be coveted. The folks at AVS are the epitome of A-grade service and they prove it every week. PROS:Consistently excellent resultsProactive requests (post-hurricane clean-up, spring deep clean, replace smoke alarm batteries, window cleaning, etc.)Flexible about scope of work and cleaning productsFlawless self-management; great communicationOwner attentionFriendly staff CONS:Price is high vs. other services or independent cleaning people
Description of Work: Move-in cleaning after new home purchase, weekly cleaning and organizing since then, post-renovation cleaning, as well as seasonal window cleaning, smoke/CO2 alarm battery and central air filter replacement. Note: Price above is monthly average.

I contacted A Votre Service and they had a man come to offer an estimate. I was to wait for their call to see if I found the price satisfactory. I did and a man came on the appointed day (all this was done quickly). The job was completed and a bill was sent by A Votre Service. I paid promptly by check sent to them. I recommend them and will use again!
Description of Work: Gutters were cleaned. All went well. I will call again.

Overall they delivered on what we asked, the house felt white glove clean. Just be prepared to pay top dollar.
Description of Work: We had just purchased a new home that hadn't been lived in for a while so it was in need of a good cleaning. I asked for an industrial cleaning so that we would feel comfortable moving our stuff into the house.

I was very dissatisfied with them. I had to call them a couple of times. He called and he gave me a date when he was available. The day he was going to be free, I knew I wasn't going to be there. They scheduled an appointment on Wednesday. I told them I wasn't going to be there. It was $35 an hour. So what I wanted to do is let one man come for an hour. I asked if I can have two men come for four hours at the same time. I think two men working together could accomplish more. That came to $490 for four hours. They said that it was fine. I knew that the work would not finish in one day. But I still wanted to try them out as they were on Angie's list. They said that they would be there between 9:00 and 9:30. I made sure to call them on Wednesday. I wanted them to call me as I wanted to explain them what they would have to do first. But they didn't call. I didn't hear from them. I know they should have cell phones. Two men came and they should have had cell phones. But no one called me. I have no idea when they got there. They never knew what my priorities were to work on. I was very upset that they didn't do many other things. My neighbor said that she never saw two men together. She saw only one man working and not two. I was very upset that they didn't call or inform me when they got there to work. When i spoke the supervisor she said they got there between 10:00 and 10:30. That's not the thing to do if you pay someone by the hour. This is not business for me. I wouldn't use them in the future again.

Anytime I need deliveries for my house or other work plumbing and other things they would do that and arrange and schedule it. They contacted me proactively this week and said the hurricane was coming. They wanted me to take my furniture in. They took care of my furniture and everything in my house. Mine is a four-bedroom house. They charge about $45 for a checkup on my house. I don't know what they are going to charge for removing the furniture. We always know what they are going to charge. They provide wonderful service. Their price is really good for what they do. I called them once in the middle of the night one time. They answered and actually called me back. They came in the next morning to take care of the problem I was having. I would definitely use them again. I would do it all the time.
Description of Work: I use A Votre Service! for housecleaning. They continue to do all kinds of odd jobs like handyman, fix-ups and so forth.

After making a decision to purchase a vacation home that required" some work", I was overwhelmed by what it looked like after the closing. I contacted A Votre Service for cleaning services after finding them on Angies list. Jocelyn , the owner, arrived at my new home and I was in tears. She spoke to me about getting rid of the energy from the previous owner and making this house feel like my home. This really resonated with me. She and I walked through the house together identifying everything that needed to be done. With furniture arriving in less than 2 weeks we set that as a deadline for completing the work. She coordinated everything including repairs being done by others (the water pump failed, light switches were dysfunctional,pool repairs etc). She brought in handyman services who fixed broken doors, changed out ceiling fans and light fixtures, hung blinds etc. She had the entire house ( 4 bedrooms) painted including the kitchen cabinets and base board heaters. A team unstuck and painted all the windows and everything was cleaned. Amazingly 10 days later everything was done and the house was ready for the arrival of furniture and my family. I am so grateful for the excellent, professional services provided by this company and for making this house truly feel like my home.
Description of Work: Newly purchased fixer upper required painting, repairs, smoke odor removal , window cleaning, general cleaning and house sitting services.
