+ -1 moreArrived on time and as arranged to complete the estimate. However, two days later I received an email that they would not be able to provide the estimate (nor do the job) because they did not have the staff to complete the service. While this was very disappointing since (due to the owner's illness) initially it took some time to arrange for the estimate, I also understand that with a small company [on a rare instance] this can be out of their control. I wanted to give an "NA" for the overall rating, however, the system requires a letter grade.

They made suggestions related to safety precautions as well as future cleaning recommendations. I would highly recommend them

house cleaning
+ -1 moreNeal and Mia and Catherine with Contemporary Living Services have cleaned my house for several years now. I cannot express how wonderful they are! They clean with non-toxic products, which are essential in light of my health problems (and get my house much cleaner than the standard cleaning products do). They are also the most thorough cleaners I have ever had. Nothing is left uncleaned. They have brought things back to life (like my scummy shower door) that no other cleaners (even with toxic products and scrubbers, etc.) came close to being able to clean and renew. Each time they are done, my house sparkles, and smells fresh, not chemically. They are also such kind and generous people, and a pleasure to talk with and have in my home. I trust them with anything. They are always so willing and kind. And their price is extremely reasonable, given all the time and work they put into the job. For my mother's 80th birthday, I gave her the gift of Neal and Mia thoroughly cleaning her house for the party she was having. They took the whole day, on a Saturday, and charged me for only a portion of it. My mother's house is cleaned every other week by staff in her retirement community, but it looked like a brand new (and very clean) house when Neal and Mia were finished with it. I could not recommend this company more highly. I am so grateful for them!!
Description of Work: They cleaned my house with non-toxic products, and incredibly thoroughly.

+ -1 moreNeil and his helper were very courteous and did not waste time in doing what I asked. I was home and periodically checked to see how they were doing. I checked the job well before they left and was very pleased. I asked them if they could clean for me regularly but there was no opening in the schedule. However, Neil offered to come for special cleaning jobs like he had just completed for me. I had him return on another day and clean my family room and kitchen that included washing the cabinets. There are 15 double door upper cabinets and 18 base cabinets, half of them are triple drawers. Neil started cleaning the cabinets with Milsek cleaner/polish since my cabinets are cherry. I asked him to use my general purpose cleaner as I think that removes cooking residue better. He had no problem with that since it is an environmentally safe cleaner. I was very happy with that job as well.
Description of Work: wiped down stucco and glazed walls in living room and dining room. They did a very detailed cleaning of these two rooms and a large foyer as well as a large chandelier.

+ -1 moreIt went perfectly! Neal and Mia are first class animal lovers with training experience with dogs. Both are extremely qualified to care for any dog, but most especially special needs animals. They visited twice prior to the contract dates to observe, meet and get to know our pooch. Mia even called us when there was a question about medication; I would use their services in a heart beat over and over again!

+ -1 moreThis was a deep cleaning of my "dust collector" full home, which had been getting a lick and a promise since my last house cleaner hurt her knee - a year before. Neal and Mia are amazing, spent more time than they had anticipated, but kept the price to our agreed amount. I am only sorry they don't have a slot to put us in their regular cleaning schedule.

He cleaned the extra areas like baseboards, but neglected the floor, the counters-things we considered as part of the basic house cleaning.We didn't think the cleaners he uses are very good either.

house cleaning
+ -1 moreThe first deep clean in Nov. was done very well and priced very reasonably @ $150.00 for 2 people and 4 hours. Walls were wiped down, windows washed, all furniture and woodwork polished, upholstery vacuumed, hardwood floors polished, tile washed, rugs vacuumed and chandelier cleaned. The kitchen was completed well with 2 exceptions. I pointed out that the range hood, which is wood and tile trimmed and glazed plaster, was not clean. I recommended using a grease cutting solution that I had used previously with success. Neal prefers using only eco friendly products, which I, also, prefer but sometimes tough jobs require more. The second problem was the windows, which are a real pain to clean, I admit. The inner pane must be removed so that the two inside surfaces can be cleaned. Then, replace that pane and wash the inside and outside surface like ordinary windows. This requires washing 4 panes of glass for each window. They used a microfiber cloth and water to clean the glass. The windows looked great until the next morning when the sun shined through. Neal offered to return to clean them but I said to wait until spring. Other than that, everything was done very well. I would have scheduled them for biweekly cleaning but their schedule is full. Neal indicated that they would be willing to do an occasional cleaning and would notify us if they had a vacancy.
Description of Work: Deep cleaned our large kitchen (64 cabinets and drawers) back hall, 1/2 bath and laundry room floor. I didn't ask them to do the laundry room cabinets. This included a double window and a bay bump out windows and door with removable insulating panes (Pella) They previously deep cleaned our 15x17' living room, 15x14' dining room, 15x12' foyer , staircase and 1/2 bath. This was done the week before Thanksgiving. Neal worked us into the schedule so our house would be clean for our gathering of 16 people for 3 days.

+ -1 moreThey did a phenomenal job and there were no problems there. We use them on a regular basis and they provide service every two weeks. They are really good, punctual and professional. They don't cut corners and do a very good job. They don't rush into doing things and really take their time. Sometimes when they come into the house we go shopping and don't even stay home. They finish their work, close the house and leave, so they are really trustworthy people. We have never found anything missing.

house cleaning
+ -1 moreThis company has been my bi-weekly cleaning service for about a year and they have done a pretty good job. Unfortunately, we had a fire in our kitchen and thus had to suspend their services until the construction was completed. When I contacted them to be put back on the schedule they advised me that they had no available time slots. I found this lack of loyalty to be unprofessional, especially since I had written a glowing review on Angie's List when we first contracted them last November. Moral of the story: if you contract them, never suspend service or you will be out of luck!

+ 0 moreWhen we moved into Hudson my wife and I were searching for a new house cleaning service. Luckily we cam across Neal and Mia at Contemporary Living Services. I'm being completely honest when I say that we could not be happier with them. The level of professionalism, attention to detail and quality of work is far superior than any service we have every used. Mia also does painting and we hired her to paint our daughter's nursery. Not only was the job done exceptionally well, she even staged the room after she was done. Everything was amazing. I couldn't ever imagine searching for another company to use. We're blessed to have found them.
Description of Work: Initially hired to perform a deep clean on the house we moved into. It went so well that we signed up for cleaning every other week.

house cleaning
+ -1 moreWe had tried other cleaners before CLS, and were never satisfied. Our disappointment with other cleaning services varied, but got to the point where we were uncomfortable having anyone clean our home but us. When I read the reviews of CLS, I contacted the owner and he set up a meeting with me. After talking with him, I was sufficiently impressed to hope that he could add us to his customer list and hoped the cleaning would live up to our expectations. Well, the work ethic of this company and the quality of their cleaning are unequaled! Not only are we completely comfortable with them working in our home, I truly never expected to find anyone this good and with this level of attention to detail. Neal, the owner, is a perfectionist. And it shows in his work. These are the most courteous, helpful, professional, ethical people--who also do an extraordinary job every time they clean our home. I would truly like to hear from anyone who has found this level of quality (and at a fair and reasonable price) anywhere else!

I returned the call and never heard from them again. I explained I was new in town and would appreciate knowing if they would be able to help or not. No call, no feedback.

house cleaning
+ -1 moreI phoned CLS owner, Neal Franklin and arranged an initial meeting to discuss his company services and what we wanted to have done. He presented a very professional notebook with photos of some of the services ha could provide as well as explained his background leading to founding his company. He explained the products he uses and why as well as described, in detail, the kind of vacuums he uses. SInce I have asthma, this was important to us. We scheduled a day for our job to be done via email. Neal Franklin, and employee, Matt, arrived promptly at 10:00AM. We briefly reviewed the scope of the job and they started spring cleaning our living room and dining room. Neal and Matt covered every square inch of these 3 rooms and kept on a steady pace with no unnecessary chatting while they worked. They were finished in 4 hrs. 15 minutes. We were very pleased with their work. Everything sparkled and the lemon oil scent was very pleasingly clean smelling. We will be calling them again and look forward to having our home cleaned thoroughly and maintained by CLS.
Description of Work: We asked to have a thorough cleaning of our living room, dining room and foyer. The dining room has a large oak table and 10 chairs, a buffet/hutch and a 36" cabinet. There is a leaded glass chandelier, 2 large framed prints and 2 large groupings on the walls. The walls in both rooms are old English plaster with a glazed surface. The living room has a large sofa, 3 upholstered chairs and ottoman, 3 side tables, glass top coffee table, secretary desk and chair, 3 lamps and 1 floor lamp. On the walls are several framed prints, a 2 tier shelf with figurines and a small glass, wall hung display cabinet. Both rooms have hardwood floors and a large oriental area rug. There is also a 6 ft bay window seat in each room. Our large foyer with a leaded glass chandelier, 50" two shelf walnut antique server and a carved antigue bench are in this space. All of the wood furniture was wiped down with Murphy's oil soap, our request, and polished with a lemon oil impregnated cloth. This treatment left a beautiful sheen but no residue at all. The upholstery was vacuumed, accessories, lamps and light bulbs all damp wiped and dried. Shades were dusted, frames were wiped all glass cleaned. The walls were wiped down, chandeliers cleaned, widows washed inside only as it was raining that day. The hardwood floors were wiped with a vinegar and water mix and dried. All woodwork was wiped down and polished. The 7 ft wide leaded glass window over my front door at the second story level was washed even though Neal had to use a long extension ladder to reach that area.

Their "green" approach to cleaning reduces the number of chemicals used in our home while leaving our house clean and smelling great. Their attention to detail and desire to get it just right has been very welcome. Neal and the team are a pleasure to work with and we are very glad that we found them. I would highly recommend them to others.
