In fairness it was a big job. But paid over 700 dollars and still finding things they missed.
Response from The Maids
"Thank you for your review. Unfortunately you applied this review to the wrong franchise of The Maids. We will let the Brookfield CT office know of your concerns."

- Left alarm off when leaving, which is an ongoing problem that has been complained about several times.  I have made them aware of the break-ins in the neighborhood and how important this is, but it doesn't help.

- Sometimes they forget to lock the door

- They have shown me an account "notes" page that states that the alarm should be turned on, along with other repeated cleaning problems, but obviously this is not a system they actually use.

- Left black mold in shower despite several requests to be more careful about that

- Frequently leave recycling in plastic bag despite being made aware several times that recycling items are supposed to be left loose in the bin

- office staff has been spoken to several times and seems totally, for lack of a better word, incompetent

- I have asked Corliss, the person who writes the Angie's List review, to have the owner call me and the request has been ignored several times over the past 10 years

- Most recently, when I spoke to "Aisha" to ask for service to be discontinued until the owner can call me, she said they are cancelling my service until I am ready to use them again without speaking to the owner (!!!)

- Was also told by Aisha that owner "does not speak to customers"


Response from The Maids
"The MAIDS tries to provide excellent quality service to all of our customers. Mr [Member Name Removed] is bringing up issues that have been resolved over a period of 3-4 years. Our last communication with him provided no issues that could not be resolved by our very experienced office staff. He would not communicate to our staff about any and all current complaints. Because he was not satisfied with his demands, he has chosen to publicly rehash old issues. WE are sorry that Mr [Member Name Removed] who has been a valued customer for over 10 years would end his relationship with us in such a manner."

For 200.00 dollars I wasn't pleased. They missed obvious areas in my bathroom. Just brushed over my home very quickley. Then used a very strong deodorizer to appear clean. Sneezed all day. Never again.

I hired the Maids to do a deep clean once I went into contract on a new home I purchased. They arrived on time and I left the house for approximately 2 1/2 hours. When I returned, the head cleaning lady asked me to take a look at the house- it certainly looked clean to the eye and it smelled a lot better than it did before they cleaned. I did not move in for several days- no one had been in the home during the time period. There were no contractors, painters or other workers. My family and I moved in and we started to notice room by room that there was a lot that had been "overlooked". I found dust and dirt under the heating vents, dust on shelves in a family room, the bathrooms were far from "deep" clean. I will not go into detail about what I saw under my toilet bowls- I will leave that to your imagination. I was so annoyed by day 5 that I called the office and spoke to a representative. She assured me that a "deep clean" and detailed cleaning was their specialty and that the discrepancies that I discovered were perhaps an "oversight". I did not want to continue to argue- clearly this is not a company that I would ever hire again. Their version of a "deep" clean is far from clean at all. During the past week I have been cleaning the house myself and what I discovered compelled me to write this review. I paid way too much for the service that was provided. If I was interested in a light dusting and floor vacuuming perhaps I might have been happier. When I hired them, I clearly stated that I a purchasing a new home and that I needed a deep clean throughout the house. I did not receive that. The rep offered me a $50 credit but that hardly made up for all the extra work that I had to do myself.

They do a great job. We've been using them for about a year. We are satisfied with the price but we wish it was a little more competitive. We think it is average.

I have them do work me, once a week. I am dissatisfied with their services. They are not thorough nor are they careful with our belongings. They are always in a hurry and rush through the process. Initially they were good, but off lately they have gone bad. I may use their services until I find a new one.

They came out and did a monster cleaning like a spring cleaning, and then came back to do some more cleaning that was less effective. The first one was hugely expensive. It was a stop-gap arrangement for us. We have a housekeeper and she just had a baby. We were trying to fill in till she was ready to come back. The Maids came in with a team of four ladies and did a very good job.

VERY GOOD. SOMETIMES THEY ARRIVE TOO EARLY, OTHER TIMES LATE, OFTEN THE TEAMS ARE SHORT HANDED. THEY WORK ON A TIME SLOT WHICH CAN HINDER THEIR WORK. OVERALL, THEIR WORK IS GOOD.
