Description of Work: I have been using My American Maids for several months now, after my longtime cleaning service retired, and have been very satisfied with their work. They arrive every two weeks, precisely on time with three women (at least one of whom speaks very good English) and they take from 1 hour to 1.25 hours. I am here while they work, moving from floor to floor.. Very professional. They work well with my cat, who loves them and looks forward to their arrival!

Description of Work: We have regularly scheduled cleanings from them. They always come when they say they will, and the cleanings are typically very good. Any time there has been an issue (and with 26 or so visits a year there will be issues) the company has been very prompt and thoughtful in its resolutions. We've used them for several years now.

Description of Work: They come in groups of 2 or 3 workers, and work for 1 to 1 1/2 hour. I use them every other week for light cleaning on two floors. They are very professional, friendly and efficient. They bring their own equipment and green cleaning products. They always call to remind you when they are coming, and work quickly and well. There is always at least one who speaks excellent English. I have only used them a few times, but so far am quite pleased.

Description of Work: General house cleaning. The cleaners arrived on time and did a thorough job. I was happy with the service and scheduled recurring appointments. However, the quality of service varied too much depending on who showed up to clean. I specifically requested that my wood floors be cleaned during each monthly service, but that did not always happen and other areas were not cleaned up to the initial standard on each visit. I would use this company again and give them another try. Overall, they are good and professional. I liked the way the green products they used made my house smell.

Response from AMERICAN MAIDS of CHICAGO, INC
Thank you for your business and your review. Since these were monthly visits, that later on changed to "on call" visits, we cannot guarantee the same team. Consistency in cleaning depends on consistency in team. A person, familiar with the house and customers' special requests will always do a better job, than a new person. Try to keep the names of people you specifically liked, and mention that you would like those people to clean your home. And we will make sure we will find an available time with that particular team to meet your requests.

Description of Work: We purchased a Big Deal for four hours of housecleaning service. They were not that great. They only completed half the home so we did not call them again.

Response from AMERICAN MAIDS of CHICAGO, INC
Dear member! Thank you for remembering our company!!! Your service was done through the Big Deal a few years ago (it was a very first Big Deal). I could not find any information at first, so we had to dig through archived records...Yes, the house was large and needed a lot of work (translates into "dirty house")! More than what we were able to accomplish in 2 hrs with 2 people. And this is just normal. In order to do a deep cleaning, you have to spend more time. Otherwise the job will be just less than average, and in most cases incomplete. You cannot pay the price of a used Honda Accord and expect the features new Mercedes Benz offers. It just does not happen in real life. Just because we are professional cleaning company does not mean that we are miracle workers. On a positive note: obviously our company made some impact ( or maybe some friends reminded you to go and write a review), since you were able to remember even the name of it several years later to come and write the [negative] review

The ladies arrived within the time frame arranged, did a very good job of cleaning everything, and was at the lower end of the estimate range we were quoted. We were so happy with the service that we plan to have them come bi-weekly. I especially like that they use environmentally friendly cleaning products.
Description of Work: We scheduled an appointment for a one-time cleaning just to clean all of those areas we usually miss when we clean ourselves. We didn't request anything beyond what they normally clean, which covered everything we wanted done.

It was a fairly large one-bedroom apartment in a vintage building. I hadn't done much cleaning in a while so it was pretty dusty and the window blinds were, well, gross. They originally estimated 2 hours, but I was pretty sure it would take longer than that and it did, partly because they washed all the window blinds. The place looked so nice after they were finished that I was tempted to move back in! My only complaint about my experience is that they started the job an hour after they were scheduled to arrive, which made for other delays in my plans that day. They were late because the job before mine took longer than expected. I understand the need to be flexible about times, however no one called to tell me they would be late. I didn't find out anything until I called them. Frustrating, but not horrific. Communication glitches happen. Note: in the next section where I checked "higher than estimate," I want to clarify that it was higher than the company's estimate, but because I knew it would probably take longer than they thought, it wasn't higher than I expected to pay.
Description of Work: I hired them to clean my previous apartment after I moved out.

Did a pretty good job. Took a little longer then I expected. I had to go back to a few places to clean up a little. I had to leave before they finished so could not check the work. I would have called them to come back but had no time. Not too bad of a job though.

Response from AMERICAN MAIDS of CHICAGO, INC
THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO RATE OUR COMPANY! PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT FOR ALL ONE TIME JOB SUCH AS MOVE IN/MOVE OUT WE GIVE ONLY MINIMUM TIME REQUIREMENT, AND WE CHARGE ON THE MAN-HOUR BASIS FOR EACH JOB. FOR EXAMPLE: FOR ANY APARTMENT WITH 1 BATHROOM FOR MOVE IN/ MOVE OUT CLEANING WE ALWAYS ESTIMATE 4 MAN-HOURS MINIMUM. THE CONDITION OF THE PLACE, ADDITIONAL WORK WILL ADD UP THE TIME. ON THIS PARTICULAR JOB THERE WERE ABOUT 12 DOUBLE HUNG WINDOWS TO BE CLEANED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE (IN ADDITION TO THE STANDARD MOVE IN/OUT CLEANING). WE ALSO OFFERED TO CLEAN A BACK STAIRWAY WHEN WE GOT TO THE PLACE. ALL THAT ADD UP THE TIME TO WHAT WAS INITIALLY QUOTED/ GUESSTIMATED OVER THE PHONE. WE ALWAYS ENCOURAGE OUR CUSTOMERS TO CHECK ON THE JOB. AS A LATEST ADDITION TO OUR QUALITY CONTROL SERVICE WE RECENTLY HIRED A FIELD QUALITY CONTROL MANAGER WHO WILL BE PERFORMING CHECK ON EVERY ONE TIME/ FIRST TIME JOBS AS WELL AS RANDOM CHECKS ON ALL ONGOING JOBS TO ENSURE HIGHEST QUALITY THAT MEETS AND EXCEEDS OUR CLIENTS' EXPECTATIONS.

I spoke with American Maids and got the estimate of $90 (the minimum charge, based on two cleaners, two hour minimum). I chose not to have an in-person estimate, with the understanding that the actual charge may be higher. I thought I set up an appointment for the following Monday, but no crew arrived-I am not sure whose error it was. However, when I called to find out what had happened, I was able to schedule an appointment for the next day with no trouble at all. Midway through the cleaning I got a phone call, explaining that the job would take 45 minutes longer than the two hour estimate. The crew did an excellent job; I would hire them again.
Description of Work: American Maids cleaned my 1-bedroom 1-bath condo in preparation for a new tenant. The cleaning included interiors of closets and cabinets and the oven and refrigerator.

I left a message and my call was returned within a couple of hours. Very pleasant and responsive. Very professional. I would've hired them immediately but I require at least one team member that can take instruction in English. I know I should know other languages, but I don't yet, so I need someone who can. I have had horrible experiences in the past due to language barriers. If you don't mind the language barrier, this firm should be on your short list to hire, based on what I could tell from the initial interview.
Description of Work: I called for cleaning services after I had talked to home organizing services and was recommended to hire house cleaning before organization. I had hoped to find a company that could clean and organize but it seems you can either get one or the other.

I WANTED TO PERSONALLY THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME AND POST YOUR REVIEW ON AGIE'S LIST. OUR COMPANY HIRES AND RETAINS ONLY MOST QUALIFIED PERSONNEL THAT IS TRAINED ON CONTINUOUS BASIS. WE RECENTLY ADDED QC FIELD MANAGER TO ENSURE THAT EVERY JOB MEETS AND EXCEEDS OUR CLIENTS' SATISFACTION. SOMEHOW TRADITIONALLY OUR COMPANY HAS HIRED PEOPLE FOR WHOM ENGLISH IS THE SECOND LANGUAGE. THEY CAN SPEAK AND UNDERSTAND ENGLISH, BUT ARE NOT FLUENT IN IT. WE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH COMMUNICATION BECAUSE OF THAT, AS ALL THE INSTRUCTIONAL DETAILS ARE DISCUSSED PRIOR TO CLEANING WITH THE OWNER AND GIVEN TO THE CREW AND THE FIELD MANAGER. WE OFFER TO PROVIDE IN-PERSON IN HOUSE ESTIMATE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND YOUR NEEDS PRIOR TO SCHEDULING A CLEANING APPOINTMENT. EITHER WAY ALL ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS NEED TO BE COMMUNICATED THROUGH THE OFFICE TO ELIMINATE ANY MISCOMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE OFFICE A CLIENT AND THE CLEANING CREW.

They were able to schedule me for the day after I called. The work was very thorough, and while it took a bit longer than they expected (approx. 2 1/2 hours instead of 2 hours), they honored their quote of $90.00.

American Maids cleans my house every week and it's consistently excellent. Oksana really cares and asks smart questions. She loves my dogs, which is a big plus. I know the job is always done to perfection. Once when an old picture frame broke, she offered to pay for it. So honest, other services would have left me to discover something like that after they had left. I appreciate that they treat my home as if it's their own. English is her second language, but she takes classes and is improving consistently. I also love that I can handle schedule changes or special requests by email. Whenever we do have communication issues, Ilona is just a cell phone call away. And while I thought that would be an issue, I've never had to call her.

Excellent! I got a flier at my building, and it provided comprehensive information and was written well. I called and owner Ilona Erst, offered to come over for a "look see" to give me an estimate of how much time and how much it would cost. Two of her team arrived on-time, worked for 4.5 hours and left the place spotless! I'm so happy with them, I'm retaining them on a regular basis, every other week.
