Response from Honest Souls Cleaning Service
The only comment I can add here is that Angie's list gives too much power to the customer to grade a service provider any way they want. For example my company has received Super Service awards for the 2 years 2014 and 2015 I have been on this list that means we are doing our best to make sure the customer is happy but some customers can never be happy! How do you give someone a C without even giving a reason why? My opinion is that Angie's list should find a way to give the businesses to also provide feedback on the customers they work with so that before a new service provider deals with such a customer they read about them and know what to expect too. The way the system is now favors the customers more.

Overall, great service, great value, very professional. Sharifa is extremely hands on and detail oriented. She worked right along-side her staff cleaning the house and we were very pleased with the results. She and her staff were extremely professional, working without taking breaks and being aware of others in the house doing work. From top to bottom, they took pride in what they did and made the house shine.
Description of Work: Full Home cleaning. We got the special (incredible deal) and had a couple add ons (total was around $200, our choice and happy to pay that for the amount of work done!)

Overall the service provided that day was acceptable. But we could not resolve future use because of their unwritten policy of not going into any home where the homeowner is not present when an animal is present.
Description of Work: After we finally got together when the special cleaning was to be accomplished, shortage of personnel caused the cleaning to be longer than planned. Additionally, they did a great thorough job of cleaning but because we had a dog in the house, we couldn't make arrangements for them to be engaged in the future because they have a policy not to service any home where the owner is not present if an animal is present.

Response from Honest Souls Cleaning Service
To clarify on our dog policy. If the owner is not home, then the dog has to be in a specific space. In this home the dog has to be everywhere. We clean many homes where the dogs are not in the spaces we are cleaning. Also that day one of the employees lost her mother-in-law and she was notified as we were arriving. She had to go.

Sherifa was wonderfully responsive and accommodating, both in setting up the initial appointment, and then a monthly cleaning schedule. She and her team did a terrific job, and got is done before my sister and brother-in-law arrived from England, and my sister commented on how lovely everything looked.

horrible. provider was supposed to clean my house but after talking with the provider over the phone, i immediately asked for a refund. i purchased the deal because it clearly states 4-bedroom and 3.5 bath for cleaning and that's what i needed done. when the provider and i were discussing the job, she repeatedly kept asking if i had anyone else living with me and i kept telling her that it's none of her business. i said all she needs to know is facts about the house and that's it. i told her i was beginning to feel concerned about my safety and that i wasn't going to answer her questions regarding who is in the house. she ignored my comments/concerns and kept asking who lived in my house and i had to keep telling her that she doesn't need to know that level of detailed information. she was not friendly and inconsiderate. i told her never mind and that i wasn't interested in her services anymore. what a waste of time and energy. glad i got my money back.
Description of Work: provider did not clean the house. i declined moving forward with setting an appointment for her services. provider had zero customer service skills. a bad listener, unfriendly, and inconsiderate.

Response from Honest Souls Cleaning Service
I am not surprised by this review because I was surprised by this customer too. When a customer buys this kind of special we communicate and try to understand the kind of home we are dealing with. If there animals in the house, if we have to clean when some people are in the home, which days and times would be convenient to see the home and also when to clean it. I think she answered only one question and then when asked about the number of people who would be in the home she answered that it was none of my business. I actually I think it is important because I have to plan how we move around as we clean if there people in the home. I deal with many different customers everyday and also wish I could write reviews about my experience. This customer shocked me and I think it was better that she asked for a refund because we cannot clean a home where the owner goes to the extent of saying she is worried about her security when the question I asked was relevant to the work we do.

Exceeded my expectations in every regard! Sherifa is terrific, and an absolute professional. She was able to meet my short suspense for cleaning, was excellent at communicating throughout the process, and her team did a fantastic job on a very large home. You can count on Sherifa to keep you informed, to maintain timelines, and to clean until you're satisfied. This was the first time I had ever used a cleaning service, and I was hesitant as I'm very picky about my home, but the entire process was so easy and accommodating! I highly recommend Honest Souls Cleaning Service. You won't be disappointed!
Description of Work: I purchased one of the Company's "Big Deals" they had posted, which covered the cleaning of up to 3,000sqft and 3.5 baths.

Everything went as scheduled with Sharifa and her team arriving on-time the next day to begin the cleaning tasks that we had agreed upon and she was finished on time the same day. The final appearance of the home was great with the kitchen and bathroom areas looking like new and ready for the next home owner. It was important to me to have the home professionally cleaned to be ready for sale this weekend and Sharifa met all of my expectations without reserve. She was easy to work with, professional and punctual. I would not hesitate to reach out to her in the future if I were ever in need of cleaning services! JOB WELL DONE!
Description of Work: Sharifa and her team did an excellent job providing a "move-out cleaning" of my Mom's home. I had a very limited time frame to work with and Sharifa was able to come the next day to complete a 4+ hour cleaning of the home. Due to scheduling multiple services in the same day (carpet stretching, carpet cleaning, and final clean-out) Sharifa volunteered to return for a second visit after the carpets were complete to finish the hardwood floors and make sure that everything looked great after all other cleaning was completed.

The cleaning was thorough and efficient, but I was irritated that my showerhead had been broken in the process. Sherifa told me that it had been broken previously, and hit her in the head when it fell. The showerhead had been perfectly fine and functional before the cleaning. Was not worth haggling about, so I've just replaced it.

I am surprised about the shower head because when it fell on me and I called and told her she said that she had had guests previously and maybe they had left it like that. In fact she had promised to hire my company again for a monthly cleaning schedule. She said she needed to settle first after her trip to Italy.

I was so pleased with the results that I have committed to a biweekly schedule. I had alot of reservations about other people cleaning my house, but with a teenager in multiple activities, two jobs and 5 dog my time was so limited that I wasn't able to provide the quality of work normally do. I was so impressed by the quality of work the attention to details all throughout the house. They work until it was complete not to time. Honest cleaning has removed a huge stress for me and has made my day to day life easier. Thank you Ladies and look forward to seeing you again.

Bottom line, we could not arrange for service with provider. After our second email with our phone number to her, she called and came by the house for a survey. During the visit she was very pushy/borderline rude to both of us, and was not at all receptive to our request to provide a subsequent quote based on our requested frequency (once a month), but chose to comment on how and why we needed to do it her way. Nonetheless, we arranged for a service date that worked for both of us (she was concerned we wanted cleaning before the Holiday and even after multiple assurances we didn't, this didn't finally sink in with her until our home visit). Unfortunately, we had to reschedule (admittedly the day before, but due to a family issue beyond our control) for an unplanned trip out of town. When we called to reschedule she was outright rude. She had no interest in working with us on a reasonable date to reschedule. Not the kind of relationship we wanted from a house cleaner we were considering having routinely clean our home. We cannot comment on the quality of her work, as we couldn't get past her lack of customer service. We concur with others' assessment on her personality-recommend email as the primary means of communication if dealing with her.

Response from Honest Souls Cleaning Service
I think what prompted this kind of review is the way I found the condition of this home. The home has stuff everywhere yet we were supposed to clean it as it was. The counters in the bathrooms were all full of all kinds of items. I had never seen a bathtub that was surrounded by all kinds of things there was no way it could be cleaned right since this home had not been cleaned in a long time. The kitchen counters had the same problem,and generally the whole house was like that. What they call rude is I think my honesty in asking them to move some items if were to do a good job of cleaning the home. They wanted me to give them a quote for cleaning the home every month and I said we had to clean it the first time first and put everything in order then I will know how many hours we would need in future. This is what I tell everyone if I find that the home had not been cleaned for a while. My opinion is that customers are used to not hearing the truth so when they find someone who tells them the truth it is interpreted as rudeness. The truth I told here was that items had to be moved first before we could clean the home the right way. As far as scheduling, the home needed 3 people and I had arranged to have the 3 people and made sure we cleaned on Saturday because the home needed over 10 hours in total. The phone call came Friday evening cancelling the the cleaning and the gentleman wanted a new cleaning date. I told him that getting 3 people again would take me a while because my schedule was full. Then he responded asking for a refund, and I advised him to contact Angie's list because this was a special sold through the web site.

The house was cleaned more thoroughly than I'd expected--they did a wonderful job. We've purchased one of these special deals before from a different company, and Honest Souls did a much better job. We've already scheduled a repeat visit from them and hope to continue using them in the future if our budget allows.

The quality of the cleaning was great, I have no issues there. The thing I did not like is how pushy they were in regards to setting up a cleaning schedule. We were interested in have a routine cleaning but found it hard to agree on a time. They were not particularly flexible in setting up a schedule nor initially setting up the cleaning we bought. My girlfriend had to go back and forth over email and a phone call before getting a time set up. The owner's accent is tough to deal with as well. This coming from someone who has lived with diversity all my life.

Sherifa does a great job cleaning, absolutely. However, she is blunt to the point that it sometimes comes off as rude. On the last occasion when she cleaned for me, she changed the time at the last minute and came earlier than we had agreed, then became upset with me because my dog wasn't locked up (when she was early and I wasn't home yet), so instead of waiting for me (15 minutes) she went and cleaned another home and came back later. I decided not to have her come back because I can't deal with the stress of worrying about whether I'm late and whether my dog is locked up. When I texted her to let her know I wasn't going to have her come back, she sent a barrage of texts throughout the day being very defensive until I told her I did not wish to argue with her. I wouldn't hire her if you have dogs unless they're locked up all the time. Otherwise, her cleaning is excellent and her prices are reasonable.

Response from Honest Souls Cleaning Service
I agree with the experience described here. Its true that all customers who sign up with my company are always aware that dogs cannot be walking around the house while we clean. When we started this service we had agreed to come clean as early as 7:30 a.m. but the home had to be ready before the kids came from school. On that day in question I had sent a message the evening before that we would be coming around 8:30 a.m. But then in the morning we realized we could get there earlier, so I sent a message to say we were coming about 15 mins earlier. There was no objection to this. We had a key to the house. This communication was for information only because many times this customer was home ( although at the beginning when we got the key we were supposed to be alone in the house when cleaning). When we got to the house one of the dogs was in the window barking so loudly there was no way we could enter this home, very scary. When I called the customer she said her husband was supposed to lock up the dog but didn't. I had another home to go to, with 2 people in the Van, so I asked how long we would have to wait, she said about 15 minutes but also mentioned that the home had not been picked up yet. I told her that we could come back to allow her the time to make the home ready. We came back about 2 hours and cleaned the home. This customer didn't say she was upset about anything. Two days later I get a message, she was asking for her key back, when I asked why she didn't say. My communication that day was to try and find out what we did wrong but she only insisted on getting her key. Since I knew that my company was the 4th one to clean this home in a very short time, I stopped asking for the reason and just returned the key. I don't lie that is why I named my company Honest Souls. If this makes me unprofessional then its okay. Many customers appreciate my honesty.
