The one that goes here is reliable, responsive with special requests and does a very good job. I'm much more satisfied with the quality of her work.

I used them about two years ago. She was very good for the first couple of years but her work started to deteriorate. She started to not show up for her appointments and consequently I wasn't able to have confidence in her consistency and therefore, I wasn't able to work with her anymore. I don't think I would ever use her again.
Description of Work: I used Shell's Cleaning for general housecleaning.

It was 5 hrs. and overall my friend said they were very efficient and courteous and did a good job, but didn't like the idea that they were 30 min. early.
Description of Work: I got this service as a gift for a friend with cancer. They arrived 30 min. early, inconvenient for my friend, but otherwise were fine. When I initially called to ask about my gift and who should I make the check out to - they said Shells... When my friend went to pay them, she insisted on her name on the check. She swept & mopped the floors cleaned windows vacumed carpets & upholstery took out the trash dusted all furniture, etc. cleaned kitchen & all rooms, including bedrooms Barbara Kaye

After 10 weeks having her clean our home, my wife and I agreed tonight that she was just not a fit. We just did not have a comfortable trust level with her. We tried our best to hope things would work out but there were so many times she was late or had a different excuse for us. We continued to look past the excuses because she did a nice job cleaning and her prices were low. I was not comfortable with the outfits she would arrive in as I think they were a little inappropriate. In the end, we just realized that we had more complaints than we did compliments. I expect a certain level of professionalism in this position which we did not receive.
Description of Work: Michele cleaned our home weekly for the last few months. This was a detailed cleaning of our home which included 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, bonus room, living room, kitchen, dining and office. I made it clear that there had been several other cleanining serivces we had used in the past but they were just not a good fit. I told her that she seemed to have good ratings on Angie's List which is why we reached out to her. We agreed on a schedule to follow and went from there.

I had a cleaning scheduled with another company for 4 days before a major surgery, as I wanted to come home to a spotless house for recovery. The other company completely fell through - no call, no show, and no response. So I quickly got on Angie's list, and picked Shell's Cleaning because of the positive reviews and the ability to handle emergency calls. Shell called me back within minutes, and was able to schedule me right away. She scheduled me for 3 hours, but the job ended up taking 5. She will work until the job is done, and it's done well. On top of that, she brings her own supplies (except vacuum cleaner), and her charges are very reasonable. So I now have her coming back regularly for maintenance cleaning. Keep in mind that she works alone, so scheduling may require a little bit of flexibility. But she is very prompt for her appointments. Overall, I have no hesitation in recommending Shell to anyone.
Description of Work: Shell did a thorough clean on my 2BR/2BA house, approx. 1700 sqft. She straightened up a bit of clutter, dusted, vacuumed, and scrubbed the bathrooms and kitchen. She even cleaned my microwave!

Contacted her to do a thorough housecleaning with the understanding of cleaning every other week with some occasional pet sitting. She responded quickly and we set it up for a Monday. She called the night before to confirm. So far we were impressed. Her prices seemed reasonable and she appeared very nice. Monday came. No show. Wouldn't answer the phone or return calls. We didn't know what had happened and were very concerned, calling her numerous times. She finally called back the evening of the second night on Tuesday. Said she had been in a bad wreck on the way to the house. She had been taken to the hospital and couldn't find her cell phone. She wanted to then come on Wednesday. We again gave her directions and she assured us that she just had a bump on the head and that she felt fine and that she would come at 9:00am the next day. She never showed and never called. We called her several times and finally left a message and told we wished her well and hoped that she was okay, but did expect some kind of notification or phone call of cancellation. We went ahead and found someone else and informed her of such. Her reviews were good, she was very kind on the phone, however just not responsive in returning phone calls or advising us on her situation.
Description of Work: Overall thorough cleaning with the expectations of contract for every two weeks.

Excellent service from a very hard worker.
Description of Work: Shell has been cleaning my house for me for about 3 years now. I have always been extremely pleased with her work and her attitude. She does a great job and has also taken care of my pets for me when I was out of town. She loves animals and walks them for me when she comes to clean my house, as well. She has a huge heart, and works so hard to please her clients. I can't say enough good things about her. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Shell does an exemplary job with a great attitude and positive disposition. She is fast, energetic, and before I know it, my house is clean. She has been able to shine my hardwood floors where other cleaners left a dull, waxy finish on it. I have two cats, which present their own cleaning challenges, but she works around the cat fluff flying through the air and vacuums up everything. She is diligent, consistent, and is never, ever late. She is also flexible on those days when something unexpected pops up and you have to reschedule. Shell is a hard worker and a real professional, and I recommend her highly.
Description of Work: Shell comes regularly, every two weeks, to clean my house. I have almost 3600 square feet. To make the job easier, and because we rarely use the basement, we alternate duties for her. On one day, she will clean the main floor and the basement, on the next she will clean the main floor and upstairs. Our main floor is where we live the most, and the kitchen and living room require close attention to detail. There is also a breakfast nook, as well as a little-used parlor and dining room. Upstairs requires the most work for Shell, which she does very well. There are two full bathrooms, a bonus entertainment room, laundry/cat room, office, and two bedrooms, including the master. The master is particularly challenging because unfortunately for Shell, we treat the area like a combination sleeping area/TV room/crash pad. However, she comes in and makes the place spotless. Downstairs, there is a rarely-used bedroom, bath, and a theater room, which Shell is able to dust, vacuum and attend to any details in short order.
