The owner was extremely professional over the telephone and the two cleaners who came to the house were both very nice and professional. They did the job very well and in a short time frame. I also liked the fact that Rent-A-Yenta bills for partial hours and that it provides it's own tools and supplies. I would definitely use them again, but now that I am recovered, I really like to clean my own house as a deterrent to being a couch potato. Very nice service!
Description of Work: I was laid up from an injury and wanted my bathroom and kitchen walls washed as well as a general house cleaning. I took a stab in the dark and hired Rent-A-Yenta.

Three cleaners showed up on schedule and immediately got to work. All looked good when they finished up. They also vacuumed the rug even though I noted it would not need to be done as I was having a carpet cleaner come in to do a more thorough job. But the carpet looked good enough that I was tempted to pass on the carpet cleaning (but decided not to as I assume the carpet cleaner would be more antiseptic and appropriate for a new tenant). Would definitely consider hiring them again.
Description of Work: Cleaned condo as part of preparation for getting it ready for a new renter. Cleaning included walls, interior doors, cabinets, inside & out, stove, refrigerator,, window blinds and floors.

Response to my email was within a few hours! I love the clever yiddish greeting and the fun website. Owner was super pleasant to deal with. I like the fact that you can set your maximum price/hours and specify your cleaning priorities. Two women arrived (English-speaking) and got right to work! The reason I am giving a "B" is that my hardwood floors looked really dull because of whatever product they used and after the master bath floor (river rock) was not thoroughly clean. I found hairballs in the corners and it just didn't get all that clean. Otherwise, ok!

I have had Renta-Yenta come to my house for about two months. I expected there to be a learning curve. However, even after several notes being taken by them, and reviewed by us both and the Roan, they still missed stuff. Obvious stuff such as taking the trash out - even though it was on their list and my check off list. Dont get me wrong, the ladies were very nice. But I was not paying for nice, I was paying for my house to be dusted, and the trash to be taken out... Roan said I should just roll my eyes, and be grateful that I didnt have to do the whole house. I am not paying nearly $200 to roll my eyes! There is no guarantee they offer for missed tasks. They charge way too much for me to be grateful for missed work.
Description of Work: Clean my house, change the linens on my bed, and take out the trash.

Response from RENT-A-YENTA HOUSE CLEANING
I advised the Member to "Let it go" as my crew IS NOT perfect. She said that she could NOT let it go, so I advised her that it would probably be in her best interest to hire an individual so that she would have more control. My girls are good, but they are only human and do not perform their best if they get complaints after every single cleaning. My girls knew they were never going to be able to please the client. That atmosphere is not conducive to performing well. I did offer the Member the name and phone number of a house cleaning service that is licensed, bonded and insured BUT works in crews of ONE. That service would be a better fit for her. Other than that, I did not know what else to do for her and she did not offer me any other advice either. I do not think we warranted a "D" rating. I was flexible when she changed her schedule around. I got her the same crew each time. We were usually very prompt except when a previous client had a party the night before and did NOT let me know we would need more time that day, so we were late getting to the Member's. Each time we only missed one or two chores. It was difficult for my crew to develop a routine for her house as she changed the cleaning list just about every time. I'm glad the Membergave us a couple of months to learn her house, but I feel we just weren't a good match for each other. Thank you, Roane Charland, Owner Rent-A-Yenta

Reasonably well. No one is perfect. The few times there have been breakages or other problems, they have been very straightforward about leaving a note and trying to make things right.
Description of Work: They have been our housecleaning service for years. I find them dependable and responsive.

Thank you for the nice report. And we have been cleaning your house since May 9, 1994. A couple of days shy of 16 years, now. Thanks again, Roane Charland and your cleaning crew Kelly, Linda and Vicky.

The 'yentas' are always responsive, fitting us in even on short notice. They are also highly dependable, in that they actually show up as promised, speak English, accept directions, and do the work--none of which is to be taken for granted in this line of business. Management tries to send the same crew each time, schedules permitting, which is very helpful. They are not the world's greatest cleaners (some of the crew members take 'shortcuts' on the work) or the best value, but they are an invaluable fall-back for when our regular service providers are unavailable.

They do good work. They are very polite and always arrive on time. The approximate cost listed is for two people for the hour and a half to two hours of work they did. I will continue to use them for future service.
Description of Work: I've used Rent A Yenta several times. They usually spend an hour and a half to two hours cleaning my home. They do the vacuuming, cleaning the floors, dusting, etc. This does not include washing of windows however. I've used them off and on for 10 years now.

Originally they did great work for us when they started. After time the cleaning started to become worse. At that time we decided to switch to another company.

The first crew they sent out, one of the workers scratched our Viking Range, but they pointed it out to us and did the repairs. They were nice, friendly, respectful and they know what to use and how to use it and that makes a big difference! I dont have enough good things to say about them!! I would highly recommend them to others. You pay a FAIR rate for exactly what they do and nothing more, they are wonderful!!!
Description of Work: I hired them to clean my home; 2 bedroom, 2 bath, kitchen, living and dining room.

See above. They are our regular weekly cleaners. The job is always aces.
Description of Work: We have been using Renta Yenta now for over two years and are extremely happy with them. They do our house on the Eastside once a week and it looks fantastic when they leave. Floors are spotless and cleaned properly, they take good care of our granite countertops and if there is any place you want them to give special attention, they do it without complaint. Their crew is very efficient which means you get more for your buck. They communicate well with each other and are "Busy bees" the entire time they are here. There are several times when we are out of state, and they accommodate those times easily. We are very very happy with Renta-Yenta.

As soon as the three housecleaners stepped into my house smelling of cigarette smoke, I had a feeling it was not going to go well. Our hardwood floors were vacuumed (!), blowing dust bunnies into all of the corners. Nothing was mopped, despite my telling them that the kitchen floor was very dirty. Nothing was dusted, anywhere. The bathroom was marginally cleaned, and I wiped up dirt from around the bottom of the toilet after they were through. It took the three folks 45 minutes to clean my 950 square foot house (2 bedroom, 1 bathroom), and it seems as though they were in a race to get done as quickly as possible, without any thought to the quality of work they were performing. I was extremely disappointed.
Description of Work: The house was cleaned in the most marginal manner possible.

Response from RENT-A-YENTA HOUSE CLEANING
I TOOK A QUICK LOOK BACK AT WHICH OF MY CREWS DID THIS CLEAN AND FOUND WHAT I EXPECTED. IT WAS A CREW THAT HAD BEEN DOING SOME POOR WORK FOR ME AND BECAUSE OF THEIR SLOPPINESS, I LET THEM BOTH GO. THE LAST FEW COMPLAINTS WE'VE RECEIVED HAD BEEN FROM THIS SPECIFIC CREW. I ONLY WISH THAT THIS CLIENT WOULD HAVE GIVEN ME A CHANCE TO MAKE UP FOR ANY SHORT COMINGS THAT HAD OCCURRED. I TELL ALL OF MY CLIENTS THAT. WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND LOVE TO DO A GOOD JOB, THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE.

I was extremely disappointed. I made it clear verbally and in writing that I was looking for a complete and thorough clean of every nook and cranny, and that I was willing to pay for however many hours that took. The two-person crew arrived late (I did get a call from the office to tell me that would happen). One of the crew members was clearly flustered and tired, and clearly did not listen to my needs. When I went back to check, I asked them to redo several things, but there was far more that had not been done. I did not have time to wait while they completed. I continued to find places that were not cleaned, cobwebs behind doors, and so on for days after. I really needed a thorough clean. If Id had time, I would have hired another company to redo --- but there was not time before I moved in. Sad!

Response from RENT-A-YENTA HOUSE CLEANING
I CALLED THE MEMBER THE VERY NEXT DAY AND SHE LET ME KNOW OF THE THINGS THAT SHE WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT. AFTER ADDING UP WHAT HAD BEEN MISSED, I ESTIMATE THAT IT WOULD TAKE US HALF AN HOUR TO CORRECT AND MAKE HER HAPPY. I GAVE HER 1/2 FREE TIME IF SHE WANTED US TO COME BACK, WHICH I WOULD HAVE HAPPILY DONE AND NOT CHARGED HER, AND I TOLD HER THIS. IT TOOK HER THREE AND A HALF MONTHS TO POST THIS RESPONSE AFTER THE CLEAN AND ONLY WISHED THAT SHE COULD HAVE GIVEN US THE CHANCE TO CORRECT WHAT SHE FELT WAS AN AVERAGE JOB, AS SHE WAS HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING ELSE WE MANAGED TO CLEAN IN HER HOUSE. IT'S A SHAME THAT BECAUSE WE ONLY MISSED A FEW MINOR DETAILS, AND CLEANED THE REST OF THE HOUSE VERY WELL, THAT WE GET BRANDED AS A POOR HOUSECLEANING COMPANY. WE WOULD NOT STILL BE HERE, 20 PLUS YEARS, IF THAT WERE THE CASE. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT ACCORDING TO THE GRADING SYSTEM SET UP ON ANGIE'S LIST, OUR OVERALL GRADE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A "C", ACCORDING TO THE AVERAGE.

I have been using this company for about a year now. They come promptly and do a nice job. The first few times the house was clean amazingly. Now it is just very nice. I recommend them for quick clean ups before a move, party, or family visit. Long term is nice as it helps keep up the house, but I am starting to find dust bunnies in certain areas.

The first visit Id rate as average but boarding on below average due to the price but I decided to give them a second chance and that was a mistake. I arrived home from work excited to come in to a clean and inviting home but instead I had to search for around for what was done. I paid for 2 hours of work but It looks like the 10 minutes youd spend before a guest was coming over.

Response from RENT-A-YENTA HOUSE CLEANING
THE MEMBER WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE 2 PEOPLE 1 1/2 HOURS AT A COST OF $105 TO CLEAN HIS HOUSE. HE AGREED TO THAT. HE ONLY LEFT A CHECK FOR $70 SO MY CREW HAD ONLY 1 HOUR. GRANTED, HE TOOK ONE BEDROOM OFF THE CLEANING LIST, BUT THE HARDEST PART IS THE KITCHEN AND THE BATHROOM. WHEN ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYWAY FOR US TO MAKE HIM FEEL LIKE HE RECEIVED A FAIR DEAL, HE DECLINED, SAYING HE WOULD NEVER USE OUR SERVICE AGAIN. I WOULD GIVE THE MEMBR AN "F" AS WELL FOR AGREEING TO ONE AMOUNT BUT LEAVING ANOTHER. THAT IS SETTING MY CREW UP TO FAIL. THANK YOU, ROANE CHARLAND, OWNER

They were great. Two women came over and cleaned as a team, which greatly sped up the cleaning process. These folks are slightly more expensive than other cleaning agencies and worth every penny. They asked for a list of my priorities so they would be sure to focus on what I was interested in. They were on time and performed their work extremely well, they exceeded my expectations.

The crew of 3 was on time and very polite. Their work was mostly thorough; a few spots were missed in the dusting and cleaning of molding, but it is a big house with 13 rooms. They worked steadily for three hours and got almost everything done. I would call this company again.
