How much do you charge, and how do I arrange for service?
Some clients desire an immediate cleaning visit. Others prefer receiving a free in home estimate before a cleaning visit is scheduled. For a one-time only House Cleaning, simply inform us how long you would like to have us to clean. If you are interested in recurring service just contact us, we will set up an appointment for a free in-home estimate. The estimate takes approximately 15 minutes. During this time, we will visit each room and explain the task that will be completed; we will answer any questions you have. If you decide to have regular service, you don’t need sign anything. We will work on a bid or hourly rate basis. We’ll take a look at your location and give you a quotation based on the work you’d like performed and how often. Please see our List of Services

Will you be on time?
We do our best to arrive within the quoted time. We have found it necessary to give a range in time because outside factors influence our schedule such as traffic or a problem at a previous job.
