When I first contacted Kristi she was available to give a quote the next day although she was not able to give me an exact time.  I was ok with that.  However, due to her GPS not showing my address, after waiting well beyond the latest stated time, I had other obligations and had to leave home.  Kristi did reschedule for the next day and arrived on time.  I liked the fact I was able to communicate via text with her.  I made her aware from the beginning that my father-in-law (FIL) would be the one present the day of the clean and that was not an issue for her.  All was well until I got the call about my hardwood floors.  Kristi informed me she had cleaned my hardwoods with a general disinfectant that she used on all hardwoods but it streaked.  She stated she then used plain water twice and finally used Murphy's Oil Soap all to no avail.  She seemed genuinely upset about the fact she could not get the streaks to go away.  She even offered to come back and try again.  In the phone call she asked me if I had put anything on my floors to which my original answer was no that I only use Bona.  She said she didn't have her Bona with her but she would gladly come back the next day to try again.  I then remembered I had previously put Halloway House's Quick Shine on the floor maybe 6 months prior and told her so.  The next morning she met with my FIL to try again.  According to my FIL she was down on her hands and knees scrubbing and a white substance came up off the floor.  I knew that was from the Quick Shine.   I again began looking on the internet to find a solution as I had tenants moving in on following Monday.  When I read on the Quick Shine site it plainly stated not to use any of the products Kristi had used on the floor.  After calling the floor manufacturer and Quick Shine my FIL began the search for something to strip the floor with.  Fortunately for us Don's Carpet One in Trussville knew exactly what we needed.  After two days we finally got the entire floor done.  I spell all of this out because I feel if you are a professional, going into homes with various flooring, you should protect yourself by asking before hand if there is anything special about the floors.  You should also take it upon yourself to know at least the most common cleaning options.  For instance I would print the instructions for Quick Shine and have it in a binder for quick reference for any future homes. 
Other wise the home was very clean.  I do wish she would have pointed out to either my FIL who was present or via text or phone call that there was food left in the refrigerator.  Luckily, I was doing a look over since we had to drive up to work on the floors and found it.  Lastly, the oven nor the bottom drawer of the stove was wiped out. I ran the self cleaning function of the oven and wiped it out before I left.  The tenants were very pleased with the home upon move in.

Did a good job cleaning up after we had our floors sanded.  Dust was everywhere!

They were very good company. They did a really good job but this time, they didn't do a really good job for what I asked them to do. They did a job below average. I will use them again in the future because they did a good job before even though they didn't do good this time.
Response from Domestic Diva Housecleaning

"I do not know who this member is as we do not, nor have we in the past, had a client by the name of [member name]. We have also NEVER done a cleaning where we only cleaned the bathroom and kitchen as this person states was done for him. Additionally, the date he lists as the "date of cleaning" (January 9, 2013) was an off day for myself and my staff as we had an in-service training that day. So, I don't know who this person used for their cleaning(s) but I assure you that it was not Domestic Diva House Cleaning as our records indicate that we have not had a client by that name, on that date, at that price, and certainly not for just a bathroom and kitchen cleaning. Furthermore, we certainly have not completed multiple cleanings for this person. I would ask that Angies List do some more research and make sure that the correct company is being listed for reviews."

I needed to clean my house to list it for sale and knew that I couldn't clean it well enough to show so I contacted domestic diva.  Kristi was quick to respond and she arranged a walk-through in the next few days and then a cleaning the day after.  My house has never been as clean as it was when she finished.  She/her team has been by every other week since to keep it clean.  It's a little expensive, but it's a great job.  Overall I'm very satisfied.
Response from Domestic Diva Housecleaning

"Thank you for the nice review! You have a very lovely home and we have enjoyed getting to clean it. I sincerely hope that our efforts will assist in the sale of your house."

Good job when there but ultimately Unreliable
Response from Domestic Diva Housecleaning

"I think our other reviews speak CLEARLY for themselves. I am sorry that Mr. [member name removed] is lashing out because he is upset that I recently had to drop him as a client. We NEVER missed a single cleaning, and when a cleaning was re-scheduled it was always done in advance with his wife. Their house was cleaned every two weeks as scheduled. I will add that due to a financial situation the wife wanted to halt all cleanings a couple of months ago...went back and forth on it, which put us in a bind from a scheduling perspective, and then decided to move forward...there was not ANY unreliability on our end. I thought highly of this family and never had a single complaint from the husband or the wife, even when I constantly asked if things were going well...I was always told everything was "great". I find it unfortunate that even though they were given plenty of notice that we could no longer provide cleaning services for their home, and had an extremely pleasant exchange with the wife at that time, that the husband feels the need to be rude about it now. I gave them an extreme discount on their home, and cleaned the equivilent of TWO homes as I cleaned the mother-in-law home in the basement (which is a footprint of the main house upstairs--very large area) and dealt with some unsightly things in the mother-in-law quarters due to her illness that anyone else would have refused to do or would have charged A LOT more money to do due to the hazardous/contagious nature of the clean up...but I never charged them a penny more and cleaned it up for months. For the record, they were only charged $125 every two weeks for both areas and this was easily a $200+ service. I wish this family well and hope they find a service that can meet their needs."

Domestic Diva came out and gave an estimate
Quoted price was competitive.
Contacted Domestic Diva a week later to use the cleaning service.
A date was scheduled for Feb 6th, 2013 for the cleaning.
Received a cancellation call the day before the cleaning was to be performed.

At that point I suggested that I would contact her if I need to use her service .
That was the last conversation and experience I had with Domestic Diva.
Response from Domestic Diva Housecleaning

"Ms. Jennings fails to mention that we had to cancel abruptly due to an injury the day before ( injured shoulder/back) which was explained to her at that time and she seemed to understand, and at that time she informed me she would call if she needed a service down the road. She was only wanting a once monthly cleaning and I have not heard from her since that time. Again, we have never cancelled a single cleaning with any client outside of this injury and have EXCELLENT reviews on our promptness and reliability with ALL of our other clients. I would be happy to work with Ms. Jennings if she is still in need of a service. And just as we apologized at that time for the inconvenience, I do apologize for the unplanned injury and subsequent cancellation. Those are things we just do not have any control over."

We were quickly put on the list for a walk thru, had the walk thru the same day we called actually, in the afternoon.  We got a straight forward price which included everything that we needed cleaned, which was basically the entire house, and had our home cleaned two days later.  I was actually surprised at how flexible the schedule was as far as working us in the same week.  Granted, that may not always be the case but they were extremely helpful and that was a tremendous help to us.  We get our home cleaned every week and so far, and we are almost two months into this, I honestly do not have any complaints.  The work is excellent, they do exactly what you ask/what they tell you they will do, they are in and out of the house in a reasonable amount of time, and based on some of the quotes I received from some other companies when we first moved here, which was around $140-150 an hour, and some that were going to run us over $250-300 per cleaning, so I am extremely pleased with the service we have received.  It is also the exact same person/people each time so we don't have to worry about a car load of strangers piling into our home each week, and the quality of the work has been consitently great ever since the very first cleaning.  I would recommend them to anyone who is thinking of hiring a service.  They are also really good about giving us discounts on our cleanings when we have referred someone to them who signs up for a cleaning so that has saved us even more money, and then they also have other little "incentives" at times which makes the cleaning less as well.  At the end of the day I think it is a very reasonable rate for the size of our home, and especially for the extremely high quality of the service we receive. Super nice, trustworthy company that will treat you right.

We get our whole house cleaned.  It is a large home, only one child but numerous pets, hamsters, and whatnot.  We don't destroy the place but there is plenty to be cleaned by the time our cleaning day rolls around each week.  All I can say is that it is thorough.  The floors are great, the hardwoods are cleaned and vacuumed and then mopped, the bathrooms look amazing when they are done, the kitchen is spotless, the bedrooms are completely made up and cleaned and dusted, the office is cleaned from top to bottom.  Just a great job.  And it has been a great job every single time they clean.  No deviations, no hit and miss cleanings, just consistently excellent service.  You can really tell she takes a lot of pride in what she does and I can definitely tell a huge difference between the work that Domestic Diva does and some of the other services we have used in this area over the years.  No comparison!

 Also, they are just very nice to work with.  Always pleasant, smiling, very eager to do the job the way we want it done and no cancellations or issues of them running hours behind schedule.  We just feel very fortunate to have found this service and I would definitely recommend them if you are thinking about hiring a service on a regular basis.  You can't go wrong with this one...and that comes from somebody who has used several of the other services in this area over the years.  I just hope we can keep them for as long as we are here at Ross Bridge.

As I mentioned, we live at Ross Bridge, and a good many of these homes are rather large homes, and ours is no exception.  We also have three kids and two dogs running throughout our home on a daily basis so it's not filthy by no means, but our house is "lived in".  I was referred to Domestic Diva in early January and we had our first cleaning on January 17th.  We have had our home cleaned on a weekly basis since then.  I know a lot of people go the every two weeks route, but for us, and with our schedules, it is well worth the extra money to have them come in every single week.  I think the original quote for every other week was $225 (maybe a little bit more) but we opted to go the weekly route and it ended up being $200.  Now some folks may think that is a lot, but before we moved to Ross Bridge we had a much smaller home and we paid $150 per week to another service...so to only pay $50 more per cleaning for almost double (if not more than double) the space, and the quality of the work is a heck of a lot better, I am ok with that. 
I do want to add that prior to being referred to Domestic Diva, we had called another well known service (I see their cars all over B'ham but they are ridiculously expensive in my mind) and it was going to cost us about $50-75 more PER CLEANING than what our estimate was with Domestic Diva...so I do know that they are less expensive than a lot of the other services.  Other services will give you a lower quote to get your business but then do crappy work and trust me, we've had that happen to us before.
So, anyway, we called Domestic Diva on Monday of that week, we had a walk-thru with the owner on Tuesday, we got specific prices and discussed our desired preferrances on cleaning methods, products, etc (they supply ALL the cleaning materials so I literally don't keep anything other than maybe a bottle of spray 409 in my home now), and we were able to get on the schedule for Thursday of the same week.  Pretty awesome if you ask me.
The day of the actual cleaning she was one time, very pleasant and went right to work.  She brought everything, including the vacuum cleaner, so all I had to do was let her inside.  She started upstairs and worked throughout each room dusting, making beds, vacuuming, mopping floors, cleaning (or should I say SCRUBBING) the bathrooms--tubs, sinks, toilets, floors, mirrors, everything!--she cleaned/mopped our staircase and then went to work downstairs.  My kitchen looked amazing--she polished the stainless steel (with 3 kids I had forgotten that it could actually look that good), the counter tops were completely disinfected and cleaned, the microwave was cleaned inside and out, and the floors looked better than they had in a long time.  The downstairs bedrooms were cleaned and vacuumed extremely well, the beds were perfectly made, and every inch of the carpets/hardwoods were cleaned.  The house looked and smelled wonderful when she was done.  Since I was home she had me walk thru with her and we discussed any of the hard to clean spots (we have some grout that is damaged so I knew that is was stained but that it had been cleaned thoroughly) and she insisted I call her if I were to find anything that wasn't as it should be after she left.  I didn't have to call her, but I thought it was pretty awesome that she was so eager for me to let her know if there was anything that wasn't as it should be (even when we had problems with the other services it usually didn't do us any good to call).
The service with Domestic Diva is very personalized and doesn't feel like you are dealing with strangers in your home.  And the peace of mind alone is worth more than anything!  I give Domestic Diva an A+ in every category.  You might pay a few dollars more (or in some cases you might even pay less) but it is well worth it.  We have been using them for over two months now on a weekly basis and love them.  I also know that they do a lot of other homes here in Ross Bridge so it is somewhat comforting to know that so many of our neighbors trust them as well.  I know this has been long but I also hope that it has been helpful.

She is very friendly and professional. Always sends reminder texts/emails the night before the scheduled cleaning. Calls even if she's only running a few minutes late to advise. Gets to work quickly and efficiently. And is good about working around our crazy (and sometimes annoying) animals.

"Thank you so much! You know that I thoroughly enjoy being in your home and love your crazy animals! They are very entertaining. I hope that we can continue to provide this service for you and your family!"

She was in immediate contact and had dates available for the cleaning. (I didn't have to wait several weeks for a spot- she worked me in.) She gave me a rough estimate over the phone, and after looking at the house the estimate was spot on. She was in and out in a few hours.
Response from Domestic Diva Housecleaning

"Thank you for your nice review! Although this was only a one-time cleaning, it was a pleasure to be invited into your home and we enjoyed having the opportunity to work for you and your family. Please let us know if there is ever anything we can do for you guys again!"

I was given Domestic Diva's contact information through someone with which I work, about a month ago.  I initially called her and had a phone consultation and we tentatively scheduled her to come out the next day for a walk through but ended up having her go ahead and clean since her schedule was open.  We have now had her clean once a week for the past three weeks and everything has been going great!  The house looks better than it has in a while and all of the little "detail" stuff that I just haven't had time to do, has now been done.  She is extremely punctual and uses her time wisely.  She does a great job but she is very good at getting in, doing her work, and being done in a very timely manner.  She has been very nice to everyone and the overall quality of her work is fantastic.  She is VERY detail oriented and seems to take a great deal of pride in her work.  I also feel that she is someone that I am completely ok with coming into my home while I am at work and it is SO nice to come home at the end of the day to a wonderfully clean house.  I would definitely recommend her and I know that we will continue to use her services so long as she can fit us into her schedule.

The overall story got listed in the "Services Performed" section so please see that for more info (it wouldn't let me copy and paste it down here)--but we have had a great experience with Domestic Diva.  She is formerly of the corporate world and actually holds two degrees but started her own business to provide more flexibility in her schedule for her family.  She is a delight to be around, and I do feel that she has proven herself to be 100% trustworthy.  I am completely comfortable for her to be in our home and I am just so glad we lucked up and found someone like her.  She takes a lot of pride in her work, and has an extremely strong work ethic.  She is puntual (which is hard to find nowadays), but is very efficient once she gets in your home.  She does an excellent and very thorough job but she always says that she doesn't want to be in someone else's home any longer than she has to be.  And that was a problem with past housekeepers, we had some that would take 5 or 6 hours to do what a really efficient housecleaner could do in two to three hours.  Please give her a call as she will do phone consultations and I hope you have as good of an experience with her as we have.
