It was a nightmare to get the cleaning people to even arrive. One excuse after another. They didn't get our call or having trouble with the internet, you name the excuse and she had already used it. Finally, after 3 cleanings we had enough. Once we got someone to show up the cleaning service they provided was ok. Nothing out of the ordinary. They were just unreliable. We never knew if or when they were coming or who they were sending until we made a phone call or text. Our contract was for every Monday after 11:00

Response from Above & Beyond Housekeeping
Unfortunately we did have communication problems and a staff medical emergency that was out of our hands but we take full responsibility for the miscommunication. This really was a one time situation as indicated by our superb reviews.

I will not be using this company again. I did not mind paying them to 250.00 but they did not clean correctly. They sent men that were over 6.5 ft tall and I was happy my husband was home at the time of the service. My friend was going to use them but after I told her what happened she is going to go with another company.
Description of Work: They were at my house for about 4.5 hours. There is not consistency with this company. They left some stuff very dirty. They left trash bags and then the owner called me and I told her they are not allowed back at my home. They only cleaned my basement.

Response from Above & Beyond Housekeeping
Unfortunately this review is not accurate. The homeowner was very upset that the employees appeared "ghetto". We hire people of all race and every employee is bonded and insured and thorough background checks are completed twice a year. Every employee is neat and clean and wears an uniform. I texted with the homeowner (she does not answer her phone) and she said the cleaning was great. We missed one thing and we could get it when we come back. Yes she paid $250 for 9 man hours of work which is $27 an hour. This is a discounted rate as she was referred by another client (who is still using us and loves us!) The issue here was the fact that she thought the employees were "ghetto" and "tall men". Unfortunately we are not always the right match.

I meet with my housekeeper and go over areas of special need. She is busy the time she is with me. The results are beautiful. She likes me to inspect the work if I am home. I feel comfortable with her in my home.
Description of Work: The provider has been cleaning my home for years. The team is professional and has high standards. I have a regular housekeeper who is dedicated and sensitive to our health needs and concerns. Ellen is an excellent businesswoman.

Our home has never been so clean as after the initial Spring Cleaning (and our standards were already very high to start with). Our dedicated cleaner does an extremely good job every other week, which has been customized and tailored to our specific needs and requirements. We are very happy with this service, with our only regret that we hadn't started with Ellen and her very capable staff earlier. We are completely satisfied and excited about this company's service!
Description of Work: Company performed Spring Cleaning several months ago at the start of our contracted service. Four very professional, experienced ladies cleaned our home from top to bottom in order to set the baseline for their continuing service. Since then, a dedicated lady has cleaned our home every other week, alternating concentrating on the main floor and the bedroom floor, with a light cleaning of the alternate floor.

We have used Above and Beyond since moving into our new home about 8 years ago. Ellen is very responsive to ones' needs, preferences, and concerns. She truly works to find the absolute best match for your family when it comes to your "Cleaning Specialist." We have had our "JoAnn"for the past 7 years and wouldn't trade her! We do have a large home, so JoAnn is assisted by 1-2 other ladies for portions of the day. JoAnn directs the other ladies, and checks everything over to be sure it meets her standards. She is wonderful, While we are away at work, our top priority is the safety of our beloved pets. We know that JoAnn will see to their needs, and always has a treat ready. The dog and one of the cats just love her and are always happy to see her. The other cat likes very few people outside the family and has gotten to the point of allowing JoAnn to pet her- a major accomplishment which took about a years' work on JoAnn's part! I am so grateful to Ellen for pairing us with JoAnn!
Description of Work: Cleaning services every other week for our 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home. Our family consists of 3 adults, 2 cats and a dog.

I recommend this housekeeping service to anybody who asks. I started using their services after I hurt my arm at work and found that lifting very heavy stuff as well as the ability to and quot;scruband quot; surfaces really aggravated things further. My arm is better now, but I still use them and have been a customer since 2010. The owner/manager Ellen is very professional and is able to keep in contact with her customers via her email and cell phone 24/7. There are varying degrees of services they can provide. I think they can clean anything except windows. You can customize what they clean and what they can do--if you want them to make your bed, fold your laundry, or do your dishes they will do so. Some extra services may cost more, but I believe the cost is not significant. Speaking of which the prices are competitive and reasonable. I tip $10 for every cleaning because they should earn the Congressional Medal of Freedom for even entering my house. Cleanings can be done once, weekly, bi-monthly, monthly, etc. They seem to be very flexible and will let you know when they are coming to do their work. I'm typically not around when they do so, there is no way I say they are and quot;punctualand quot; versus not. I DO know that when the cleaning folks get here they call Ellen immediately so she monitors their activity closely. Every once in a while Ellen may even join in on the fun so her employees know not to mess around. When I first spoke to Ellen she told me how her company is insured and she carefully selects her employees. She does use criminal background checks and drug testing--this is great for those of you who are paranoid about who is entering your house regularly. All I can say is I trust Ellen. She has a key to my house! Nothing has ever been stolen and only once was something broken and the lady who was working that day apologized profusely afterwards (it was no big deal!). My cleaning services in particular have went through a number of different folks, but she does try to match one person to each client so they know your house well. They use their own cleaning stuff and vacuum/s so once again you paranoid folks can relax! In terms of quality all I can say is if there was dust or a mess, it is gone afterwards. Doesn't matter how bad or how big the mess, it's gone. If you have mild clutter they will try to organize it for you (if you want them to). With me, it's a lost cause to try to do so because my house is quite cluttered. They kind of go around my clutter or move it gently to clean under it and then set it back meticulously.

The owner, Ellen, is friendly, professional, and very prompt with communication. After my initial phone call, Ellen visited our home within the week, and within 2 weeks, we had our first house cleaning. Our housekeeper is friendly and very hard working. It is so awesome to come home to a super clean home! This makes a huge difference. In the times between cleaning, I have a lot less work to do, which frees us up to do other things. Prices are reasonable for the great quality of service. Above and Beyond has been a lifesaver for us!
Description of Work: We hired Above and Beyond for house cleaning every other week. Our service includes a "spring cleaning" of one room in the house every month, in addition to normal cleaning. Our floors are vacuumed and cleaned, furniture is dusted and polished, woodwork is washed, and the kitchen is left sparkling.

I have a barter arrangement worked out with them. I actually did their website for them and that is how the barter worked out. Their price, if I were to spend any money, would be extremely reasonable for the job that they do. I personally have referred 10 people to them because they do such a good job and they are using them now. I know that they are affordable and do a great job.
Description of Work: I use Above and Beyond Housekeeping for housecleaning services. They do scheduled cleaning, one-time cleaning, and entire home initial cleaning. They have access to other services and partner with other people.
