It has been a long time since I used them and I don't remember the details, but I remember being happy with the work.  I think they did my carpets, but it must have been more than 5 years ago.

"Hi [Member Name Removed]! The last time we worked for you was 2005 at 1680 Ocean. We cleaned your windows for you :) We'd love to come to your new sight and give you an estimate for window and/or carpet cleaning. Hope this new year has been good to you so far. Great hearing from you!"

Within a couple of days I noticed a film on the windows. I also noticed gutters were not very clean. I have used this company a few times before and sometimes they are great and sometimes not very good at all. I think I will try somebody else next time.

Again, I apologize and hope you'll reconsider using us in the future."

We moved into a new house, and with all the other cleaning and repairs we were busy with, we decided to hire someone to come and clean the two bathrooms professionally.  The scheduling and administrative end of the service was fine, and the two young women who showed up to clean the bathrooms were polite enough and spent an hour and a half working when I asked for a "top to bottom" (exact words) cleaning, however long that took.
The house is only five years old, and neither bathroom was filthy when they started; just the expected amount of built-up grime from a couple of years of use without a thorough cleaning.
Now, to be 100% fair, my wife and I have somewhat different standards of "clean".  When they asked me to have a look after completion, at a glance the bathrooms did indeed look cleaner.  The drawers were wiped out, the mirror was clean, the chrome fixtures were shinier.  HOWEVER... once my wife got to it the next day and actually looked closer, she started out disappointed and ended up livid.
Basically, while they'd done a cursory job of cleaning, they hadn't gotten it anywhere near the level of clean I was expecting from professionals.  For one thing, they hadn't put in the elbow grease to get all the soap scum off the tubs (you could tell because the water didn't bead until my wife had spent another hour or two at it).  They had specifically mentioned to me that there were some scratches on the bottom of one tub they couldn't get off, but my wife managed to, so that was just a matter of not trying hard enough.  They also hadn't touched anything they couldn't easily reach; they clearly hadn't touched one window and sill above a tub at all, they hadn't even dusted the top of the shower doors on the tub, and there were still cobwebs on the ceiling fan vents.
In all, my wife spent at least another four hours cleaning the bathrooms and was left wondering what the two "professionals" had been doing for the hour and a half they'd been at work.  I was merely disappointed; she was outraged, and insisted I make that clear in the review here.
If you just want things given a once-over, maybe a Restif crew will do a fine job, but if it's a "pro" clean you're looking for, I wouldn't even consider using them again.

The crew of two arrived on time. They took a look at the skylights and a few windows they would be cleaning and got to work.
Initially they began cleaning the skylight without covering the floor and furniture underneath. I had to supply them with a drop cloth so that the grime didn't rain down on my furniture and carpets.
They could not wash the outside because of the slippery conditions on my roof. So my windows did not look that much better, even thoug I knew they were much cleaner inside.

They were polite and efficient.

I spent under $75 to clean the house. They did the inside and outside of the window, the gutters and the spider webs.  For the business I spent $1500 because it is a 3 story building.  I checked their background and they are bonded and insured which is very important and most of them are not. They have been in business for many years.  I checked the referrals personally in my own network before I hired them.  They do really excellent work and they are very professional.  They come in and they are very careful when they move things.  They do the windows and whatever it is that is needed for your computers or furniture. I appreciate their diligence and their air. They are just spotless.  Everyone who look at it is just very pleased with the degree of cleanliness and product they leave behind.  I have no complaints at all.  In my office building there was one blind that had come off but I was standing there and watching them do it. I don’t hold them responsible for it and it has happened before.  There was nothing broken that I would hold them responsible for. They did good work and I have referred them to co-workers and friends.  I collected three bids and they were the lowest bid by a modest amount. This is the 3rd year I am using them.
