House Cleaning, Floor Cleaning and Waxing, Animal & House Sitting
About us
I've been in the cleaning business for 20 years. I value all of my customers and understand that each customer is different. I try to accomondate by customers by their individual needs. There will be no surprises as to who comes to your house to do the cleaning. I do all my work myself. I also offer pet/house sitting services. I love animals!
Her price is a bit high @$35/hour but I feel she is worth every penny. I will be using her on a monthly basis from now on. She is fast and thorough and brings her own supplies, including vacuum.
Description of Work: Pam did an excellent job cleaning my home.

I appreciate you taking the time to review my services. I always try to do my best and work as fast as I can. Unfortunately, my price for monthly services are set at that rate, because it gets alittle more dusty/dirtier. My bi-monthly services are only $30.00 an hour. Thank you very much, and hope this continues to be a great working relationship. Pam

She was great at setting up the appointment and scheduling. She called three times to confirm appointment because it was booked so far in advance. She is very professional. I already moved out of state, so I didn't see finished product.

I'm sorry this client was unsatisfied, but when a house has not been clean for years, without any attention. You cannot expect miracles in 4 hours. It takes a lot more detail and attention to get the job done right. I am not a miracle worker! Pam

This review is a mistake. She must have me mixed up with another company. First of all, I do all my work myself, so if anyone would have scheduled to do an estimate, it would have been myself. I never made arrangements to meet this client and never spoke to this client. I will talk to angie's list about having this review remove, because they have the wrong cleaning service. Pam

I contacted Pam by email late on a Monday night and she had replied already by the time I woke up the next day. She was able to fit me in the coming weekend, and we hired her for 4 hours of cleaning, mostly to prepare the house for the holidays. She was prompt and moved very quickly while there to address all of our concern areas. In particular, she did a great job in the bathrooms and with dusting. She was efficient with the time she had and quickly understood what needed to be done. She was very professional and I would ask her to come back again.
Description of Work: 4 hours of basic housecleaning, focusing on bathrooms, dusting, vacuuming, mopping floors.

Pam was extremely thorough! She cleaned behind and under things that probably had not been touched by our previous housecleaner. We have two large dogs that spend a good amount of time in the house. Pam moved furniture and furniture cushions to clean under and behind which is very important when you have dogs. We would still be using her services if she still lived in Washington State.

Pam has been cleaning our home for nearly a year. 2 hrs/every other week. She never once rescheduled or failed to show up. I have 100% trust in both Pam's integrity as well as her incredible work ethic. When she arrives, she gets right to work, and works at a fast pace. She's incredibly thorough - i.e. moves all furniture away from wall to vacuum & mop, lifts items up to dust under them, takes out rugs and shakes them before putting back, uses appropriate chemicals for various surfaces (glass stove top and faucets are always flawlessly shiny). She's always meticulous and careful with our belongings - everything is put back in exactly the same spot. We're incredibly sad she's moving to California - we would have happily kept her for many years to come!
Description of Work: Services performed on an every-other-week basis included vacuuming, mopping, dusting, wiping kitchen & bath surfaces, scrubbing dirty walls, cleaning kitchen & bath fixtures (toilets, sinks, tubs, etc.), general tidying.

I have always been pleased with her work. Each clean she was able to add something different to the mix and get ahead of issues. I really enjoy coming home to a clean house that doesn't smell like pine sol. I am sad to see her move but am happy these reviews will go with her.
Description of Work: Pam has been cleaning my house for 3 years. I found her on Angies list and have been very pleased with her services. She always shows up on time and even made it to my house during a snow week. She cleans from top to bottom and misses nothing. Pam uses natural products instead of some of those commerical 'green' products which I prefer. I have several natural stone materials throughout my house and she is respectful of each in her cleaning. She does my 'regular' cleaning as well as the deep cleaning when needed. She has used steam to clean an older shower and made it pristine.

As a serious business owner preparing my move to San Diego, CA in August, I feel like it's my obligation to find replacement housecleaners for my loyal clients here in Seattle, WA. So, I'm taking all my extra time and energy to focus on making sure my present clients are not without housecleaners. The decision to move to San Diego, CA was a very difficult one. I will miss all of my Seattle clients and wish all the best of luck. I welcome any new San Diego clients to contact me either by phone or e-mail, anytime after August 15. Thank you, Pam

She is always on time and does a very good job. She is a hard worker and a very pleasant person to talk to. She is honest, trustworthy and I believe she enjoys what she does. (from other rooms in the house I can hear her singing while she works). We are more than satisfied with her work.

She was a valuable helper when we needed her a great deal. She made time, she came when she said she would. She did good, professional cleaning plus. Her only weakness, though she never said so and she kept a stiff upper lip and did what was needed, is in confronting clouds of dusty mildew, as I had in the basement. I could see that it was effecting her as it was me. If I get our own house settled down, I would love to have her come and clean if I could get a spot in her schedule.
Description of Work: Pam came more than once during a time when we were struggling to clean and clear my mother's house to ready it for an estate sale, and later to get ready for contractors to come in and do painting, etc. She worked hard just to find times when she could fit us into her schedule, then unbelievably hard to help my husband and me to get heavy furniture up and down impossible stairs, laughing and keeping us cheered up during a very difficult time. Pam is a wonderful person to work with, and works hard. When I elaborately explained odd details of various projects, she simply reminded me that if I told her what was needed, she could keep working. She was right. She swept and mopped dusty floors. She wiped down many surfaces, from bathroom sinks to antique furniture.

Pam did an excellent job. She worked hard the entire time. The bathroom has tiled walls and floor and she throughly cleaned the grout areas, getting out discoloring that I had not been able to remove. The appliances were cleaned with great detail and looked fantastic when completed. When Pam finished the agreed projects she asked if there was anything else we needed help with and I had not planned on asking her for help with mopping the basement, but she was willing to help with that as well. We had so much else to work on I was very thankful for all her help. Pam is very professional and has a wonderful personality that made it a pleasure to work with her. She was prompt and on time and even agreed to schedule us when I called on a Friday wanting next day service on Saturday, even though she had another job scheduled for later that day. I would hire Pam again any day.
Description of Work: We were preparing my father's home for an estate sell and needed the bathroom cleaned, the kitchen needed the refrigerator, stove, counters and all cabinets cleaned. We also had a filthy basement floor to clean after moving everything out and she mopped that.

I got her through Angie's List. The price I paid was for 4 hours of work. She really did a nice job of cleaning the home we were moving into. She helped me get things ready. She did a nice job. She worked hard. She was thorough and pleasant to work with. She was professional. She brought her own cleaning supplies. I don't need someone on a regular basis but if I did, I certainly would consider her.

We have been very happy with the quality of her work and her professionalism. She has been working for us from June 2009. The first time she came over, we discussed how long it would take to clean the house and how often. We were very impressed with the work Pam did the first time and decided to enter into a bi-weekly cleaning arrangement with her. We have not regretted our decision. We appreciate the fact that she is able to work with long term guests and our youngest child plus the nanny in the house at the same time. It's been wonderful to have our house sparkling clean every two weeks.

I contacted Pam through Angie's List and asked her to contact me about weekly cleaning service - she was very responsive. She told me on the phone that she is busy and that she probably didn?t have a weekly spot available in her schedule. I told her that I?ve not used a house cleaner in the past and really didn?t know how long it would take or if weekly was too much but would follow her lead when we met. We setup a time for her to come over and have a look. She showed up to my house on time and looked around and told me that once a month would probably be enough. She made a point to tell me several times what she charges and that she has a 3 hour minimum. When Pam left, she said she would get back to me in a few days with a time slot. My schedule is completely flexible and the time slot wasn?t an issue at all for me. We scheduled for her to arrive on Wednesday the 20th around 3:00 PM ? after her job in Seattle. She called back before the 20th and told me that since she was going to work only once per month that she needed to change the time to Monday. Since I?d already made arrangements for my son after school and believe that every other week would be better anyhow, I asked to switch me to every other week. She agreed and we were all set. My understanding was that Pam would work for three hours every other Wednesday and get done what she could. Since I live in an 850 sf house, seemed reasonable. Pam arrived at 3:00 PM. I had printed out a page for her that included our alarm system, my cell and office numbers and some projects that were being completed at the house in the next 4 to 6 weeks to let her know that whatever she could get done it 3 hours was fine and to not worry about not getting to everything. I told her that I would just leave payment in an envelope with her name on it on a bookshelf. Pam called me at 4:30 PM and told me that she wasn?t able to work me into her schedule and that I should look for a new house cleaner and reminded me that she had told me what her billing rate was and that she didn?t appreciate that I didn?t give her full payment. The envelope that I had left was (1) $20 bill short. I came back to the house within a few minutes and added the addition $20 bill. The day of interaction was so strange that I emailed Pam offline before posting this just to find out if she wanted to offer any additional explanation. Pam reiterated that ?I thought the job would be too much for me? and that it made her uncomfortable that I intentionally left out $20.00. And that she isn?t used to being paid in cash? She also reminded me that she?s not obligated to keep me as a client. A little commentary: In my business, I would have paid her part of the full payment up front and the rest upon completion. For large jobs at my house, I pay once the job in completed. However, for small cost services I have performed at my house, I?m much more laid back about it and I pay in cash and the vendors provide a receipt. I take out several hundred dollars in cash each month and have my little envelopes left here and there for various services and shorting Pam $20 was unintentional. If my intension was to swindle $20 from Pam, leaving her alone in my house with my alarm code wouldn?t have been part of the deal. She did a good job on the cleaning but still pretty strange experience overall.

Response from Pam's Cleaning Services
I have been in this business for over 20 years and initially when I begin a client, it's with the expectation that we must be a good fit for each other. I am full aware that cleaning a client's home is an intimate experience and that we must trust each other, something that has not been lost on me in the many years I have been housecleaning. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding, but the price was clearly discussed and reiterated beforehand as I always have an initial consultation with a client before I begin cleaning his or her house. Surprised at the missing $20 when I later opened the envelope, I called the client to discuss the situation and informed him of the charge that was agreed upon. As this situation could potentially be a misunderstanding, I decided to politely inform him I still did not feel comfortable with the situation and let him know that this arrangement would not work out and that he would need to find another house-cleaner. I have a per hour charge and a 4 hour minimum, but gave this client a discount because he lived nearby and was a first time customer. Although the client had a house on the smaller end, places can be cleaner or dirtier regardless of size. This was not a good fit for us and I did not feel comfortable with this situation, so decided it was best if we both went our separate ways. If you have any questions at all about my work experience or professionalism, please do not hesitate to contact me at all. Thank you.
