"I called for a free estimate, Justin came promtly and inspected the chimey. He showed me pictures of the problems and spelled out all the options. I explained to him that my cellar has floode due the problems and was anxious to get the repairs done. Justin quoted a price that was fair and much lower then any other estimates. To my surprise he said that he could do the job that day. He kept sending me pictures as the work progressed so I knew exactlywhat he was doing. He was professional and honest about what needed to be done. I was more then pleased with him and the company. I highly recommend .Chimneys are us."

"I had used Brian for a major deck rebuild and installation of a real hardwood floor in my whole house several years ago and was very pleased with the results and the final cost. I discovered his plumbing and painting abilities while all that was going on. He did so well with my place that I then had him do a full house renovation on a house my daughter bought near me. He did a fine job on that one, which included not only redoing the whole house interior but also cutting out an exterior wall and installing a sliding glass door to her deck. Plus new replacement new windows throughout the upper floor. It was noticeably cheaper for me to have him replace all the windows that what the major window companies wanted for the same work. Today I had him for a smaller job in my house to take apart and fix a modern type drain that had somehow gotten almost fully plugged. I had called him late last week and he showed up today to take care of it. He did a good job of cleaning up the mess when he was done. He calls himself a "step above" handyman but that's an understatement. His skills are many and extend far beyond that. Like others have said, he is honest, fair, and takes the time to do it right."

Although there are no set rules for tipping house cleaners, you may want to consider tipping from 15% to 20% of the cost of house cleaning, or up to 25% if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the cleaner’s policy or preference for tipping.
There are several things to know before hiring a cleaning service to do any work on your home.
What services do they offer?
Do they work alone or with a company?
Do they have any references you can check?
Do they conduct background checks on employees?
What is their schedule and availability?
When can they get you an estimate?
Do they have insurance?
Do they offer a guarantee?
Do they bring cleaning supplies and equipment?
Do you need to be home when they clean?
Is there a written contract?
Can they be available for emergencies and how much do they charge?
Typically, professional house cleaning services cost between $30 and $50 per hour. The ultimate price depends on the size of your house, the types of cleaning services, and how much cleaning needs to be done. Other cost factors include the thoroughness of each cleaning.
Standard cleaning that likely includes sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, and wiping down kitchen and bathroom surfaces cost from $75 to $175 per visit. Deep cleaning, which may include window washing, cleaning under and behind furniture, and polishing surfaces that are harder to clean can cost from $200 to $400.
No, house cleaners or house cleaning services do not need to be certified or licensed. Each state has its own requirements for licensing and certifications for companies, but most states don't require any special training to clean a home. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local cleaning service guidelines.
Cleaning services typically offer a range of options. Some of the most common cleaning tasks include:
Windows: $4–$10 per window
Refrigerator cleaning: $10–$40
Carpet cleaning: $75–$200
Baseboard cleaning: $25–$75
Laundry: $5–$20 per load
Cabinets: $20–$50
