Kay's Busy Maids

Very good. On time and worked steadily.

They did very well and I have used them for years. They were excellent.

It always gone very well/ I worked directly with the owner, I am able to change the schedule. The quality is always been very good

I have used Kay's Busy Maids several times. They do a great job.

Always went well.

Everything was really great once we connected. It was a little difficult to get scheduled, but the overall cleaning was great.

It was very good. They were very professional.

She's excellent, pleasant and a very hard worker!

Very thorough work.

Excellently.

It worked out well.

She did a really good job deep cleaning. She was very nice and polite.

Once we made contact, which took slightly longer because Angie's List didn't provide enough contact information, things went very smoothly.

Did not use them. Could not afford their service.

Booking the cleaning was painless and I was able to schedule a cleaning with Keri within only a few days. 

 A very pleasant woman, Nadia,  arrived on time, well supplied with everything she could have needed to clean the house.  

 The basic vacuuming and dusting were done extremely well. 

 We have four double windows with old-style narrow-slatted venetian blinds,  and she cleaned them thoroughly.  Those take a long time and she didn’t complain. 

 Here are the things that I cleaned myself ahead of time because they are so detailed and fussy:    the fireplace mantel, buffet cabinet with a whole bunch of knick-knacks,  a bookshelf with more knick-knacks, the marble vanity in the upstairs bathroom (covered with little stuff), and another table in the bathroom with our electric toothbrushes, etc.  

 The inside of my oven also did not need cleaning.  

 So she didn’t have to do certain things which I would imagine would have taken an hour, but I’m sure those darned venetian blinds made up for it.  

 Kitchen:  Nadia didn’t clean a few things in the kitchen that I had expected her to.  The refrigerator shelves weren’t cleaned.  The dish drainer and tray really needed cleaning, and they weren’t done either.  On the other hand, the kitchen sink was perfect.  

 I think there may have been a communications problem with cleaning the refrigerator.  I don’t remember exactly what I said, but I think she may have interpreted my words as meaning that she only needed to clean the inside of the crisper drawers and underneath them. I think that if I had clearly said that the whole inside of the fridge needed to be cleaned, she would have.  

 Bathrooms: The downstairs bathroom was extremely well done.  The bathtub (fiberglass) has not looked that good in years!  

 However, the upstairs bathtub (porcelain)  upset me for a while until I figured out what to do about it.    The bottom of the tub has an anti-slip-grid pattern.   She started cleaning one end of the tub with some really powerful agent (probably what she used to get the downstairs tub so clean).  She must have stopped using that agent when it was obvious that the pattern of the grid was being seriously affected.  

 When I first saw the bottom of the tub, I was frightened,  because I thought that she had damaged the grid.  

 I used SoftScrub for 15 or 20 minutes and evened the whole thing out pretty well.   There is still a slight difference where her super-powerful cleaner cleaned a little too well.   But no big deal.  

 If Nadia cleans our house again, I’m sure I will be even more satisfied.  I’ll be better prepared to give good instructions.

I actually requested assistance in cleaning b/c I had been cleaning while packing all week. Kari responded to my request extremely fast and basically was the only one willing to come help. We chatted on the phone & she heard what I needed & was able to schedule for my desired time 3-4 days later. Nancy showed up on time and was extremely helpful, everything looked fantastic and mind you, this was a move-out cleaning! I'm getting my deposit back thanks to Kay's Busy Maids!

I will give this service provider ONE STAR for initial contact. The rest of my experience was AWFUL. :(. I set up an appointment about 2 wks from the first contact. As the day approached, I awaited a confirmation call to set up a time to come to the house. I left a message via Angie's List the evening before and there was no reply. The day of my appointment, I sent a text message stating that I would cancel because I hadn't received a confirmation. This was The PROVIDER'S DIRECT REPLY COPIED FROM HER TEXT MESSAGE TO ME: "Ok sounds good. Once we schedule people for a cleaning we don't confirm because we don't feel the need to babysit adults. We feel they should write it in their schedule and remember. But yes no problem if today doesn't work. We can touch base on Monday:) You can get a refund if you don't like the way we do things. You canceled the day of which is inconsiderate. All cleaning companies have a 48 hour rescheduling policy and it says so on the company profiles on Angieslist " I want purchasers to know that your time isn't a priority for this company. I guess the expectation is for purchasers to sit around and wait till they show up. Most of us have kids and or pets to relocate to confined areas while outsiders are working in the home. I was shocked by this experience having purchased many times on Angie's List over the years. I was INSULTED by the RUDE remarks, LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM, and NO ABILITY TO CONFIRM APPOINTMENTS !!! I will follow/up with asking for a full REFUND. As a consumer of services, and supporter of small local business, we deserve respect and appreciation of our support and time !!

They were a no show for my 12/28 appt

The house was the cleanest it has been in years when Katie was done. Katie does very thorough work, and takes pride in doing it well. We were extremely pleased with how wonderful our house looked when she was done.
