Accent Maid Service did an awesome job cleaning my house! I was hesitant to have someone I didn’t know come in to clean my house but they definitely won me over! We discussed what my expectations were and what was included in their regular cleans and also the fact that their maids are insured and bonded. It’s so nice to come home to a clean house. I look forward to my regular cleaning from your company!

The cleaning professional dusts, vacuums, scrubs, etc.! They bring their own products and vacuum. I lay out clean sheets for the beds, which they change also. Sometimes, they'll even through the dirty sheets in the laundry as they are working! The bathroom and kitchen cleaning is my personal least favorite household task, and I think they really turn out great after they clean. I'm also impressed at their detail with book shelves and knick-knacks which they will move to dust around. A couple times, they missed the basement rec room, and the floors have sometimes been sub-par. Now, I write a note next to my payment to remind them of those things and a few other special/new requests I want to be sure are addressed. Cheri in the office is very responsive. She calls after the first cleaning for feedback and has called again later when a newer employee came for the month. They will work with you to have a consistent time or flexible time of day. Prices are based more on square footage than number of hours worked. The initial cleaning or one-time option is a higher price than the ongoing options.
Description of Work: One cleaning professional comes every four weeks for my ~1500 square foot home. I've used them for about 6-8 months now.

It went horrible and when we called to their attention all that was missed, the 2 gals packed up their stuff and left. Services listed on website: Dusting and polishing of furniture: NO dining chairs were dusted or polished. Rungs of rocking chair not dusted. Sides of dresser in bedroom and desk in office not dusted or polished. Cobweb removal: Very little of this done as cobwebs were shown to them all around walls and baseboards. Carpet vacuuming and edging: Their vacuum must not have been working as specks of whatever were still on carpet Upholstery vacuuming: This was not done at all, a finger nail clipping and cat hair was still on the couch. No other upholstery was vacuumed. Polishing of mirrors: They were left streaked all over Cleaning and disinfecting of bathrooms. When I questioned a ring in the toilet I was told they were not furnished a product to remove it. No Cleanser. With cleanser it didn't take me one minute to remove the ring. Cleaning of kitchen sink. It was clean when they arrived. Lime buildup around the faucet was not touched Cleaning of counters and backslashes: A water buildup was left under a canister. Food spots were on the backsplash Surface cleaning of appliances. Yes they were Vacuuming/dusting of floors: They must have needed glasses on. Leaves, tracked in debris, dust, cobwebs, etc were left on all the floors. Washing all bare floors/hardwood surfaces: Spilled milk spots are still on the entry floor that was never washed. Corners in bathroom still have a buildup of hair, corners never touched. I must say they never asked to be paid so ? I may have the money but now I must clean my house.
Description of Work: We had printed off their services from the website. They were to clean 2 bathrooms, kitchen, family room, entry, one bedroom and one office.

As with most cleaning services, it started out ok. I know our house started from a rough place and they did a great job whipping it into shape. After those first two days of heavy cleaning, I engaged them to clean our house nearly every week. At first, I loved coming home to my sparkly, tidy house. However, as time went on, I noticed more time was spent shoving things in drawers instead of actually cleaning the house. We made a real effort to put things away and clear up surfaces in anticipation of their arrival. But anything that was left on a surface was crammed in a draw or shoved somewhere. My children's stuffed animals, instead of being put back on their beds were shoved into clothing drawers. There was always a search to find things that had been pushed into a random place that had no connection to what the item was. For instance, I found my son's books put in a large tub of lincoln logs. My husband spoke to the ladies that came to our house on more than one occasion. He asked them to focus more on cleaning and less on tidying up. It had little or no impact. Large picture frames and mirrors in our house were never dusted. I started finding that my counters were getting no more than a cursory wipe down and were still dirty after they were there. I have two dogs and two kids, our carpets take a beating. Several times, we offered them our Dyson to use, to really get the dirt out. They insisted on using theirs which really never got the dog hair up they way that I wanted. I do not expect that they will move heavy furniture to vaccum, but I realized that they were not moving dog beds, dining room chairs or some plants that were on rollers. The longer it went on, the more superficial the cleaning. We have a not large four bedroom house and two of them could get through it in an hour. I am not sure that it is possible got get good consistent housecleaning. I have had similar experiences where the maid service quality petered out after the honeymoon period. I am disappointed that it has happened, yet again.

They come out every two weeks and we pay them every two weeks. They don't necessarily send the same person every time. We can contract all kinds of work with them. My contract with them entails general bathroom cleaning and floor cleaning that includes washing the hardwood floors. It also includes dusting and cleaning up the kitchen and making beds. They are very easy to work with. The person who comes out is very pleasant. She enjoys what she does. She doesn?t speak very good English, which is okay. She takes directions well even though it?s difficult for her. Accent Maid Service is excellent.

It's not always the same person so the quality is slightly inconsistent, but overall we've been pleased with their work. The couple of times we've had specific complaints, I called and they either sent someone out right away or credited us for the next cleaning. I would recommend this company.

Accent does a wonderful job cleaning our home every other week. We stopped going to Accent for a few months period, and ended up going back to Accent due to them being insured and bonded. If anything ever happens they are quick to take care of problems. Overall, very impressed with the service they provide. They still continue to clean our house every other week. On a couple of occasions, I have called to get extra service added in off weeks, and they usually are able to accommodate these requests.
Description of Work: Accent was contacted to clean our home, which is approximately 2000 square feet. They gave an accurate estimate over the phone.

Courteous, helpful, and professional staff. I can always depend on a great cleaning job. I have a cat and they make sure all outside doors into the house are kept closed. Have used Accent Maid for several years.
Description of Work: Clean 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath house once a month. Mop floors and clean windowsills in addition to normal vacuuming, dusting, cleaning kitchen and baths. If I leave clean bed linens on a bed, they will take off the dirty and replace with the clean. I ask for extra cleaning (and pay extra) once in a while.

THE PERSON THEY SENT OUT CLEANED MY UPSTAIRS WELL, BUT DID NOT DO A GOOD JOB ON THE MAIN LEVEL. THERE WERE SEVERAL MAIN POINTS THAT WERE MISSED, TV'S WERE NOT CLEANED, TABLE NOT WIPED, FURNITURE WAS NOT MOVED WHEN VACUUMING, APPLIANCES LEFT UNTOUCHED, THE TOILET WAS NOT CLEANED, ETC. WHEN I CALLED TO COMPLAIN, THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEND SOMEONE OUT. I WAS CALLED THE DAY THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO COME OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT I OWED HER 15 MORE DOLLARS, BEFORE THEY WOULD FINISH EVERYTHING. SHE SEEMED TO CARE MORE ABOUT ME OWING HER $15, THAN THE QUALITY OF SERVICE PROVIDED. SHE MADE ME AWARE THAT HER EMPLOYEE WOULD PROBABLY CRY WHEN SHE WAS SHOWED EVERYTHING SHE HAD TO FIX BECAUSE SHE WAS PREGNANT. THE ATTITUDE WAS THAT I WAS BEING A DIFFICULT CUSTOMER, WHEN ALL I WANTED WAS THE JOB TO BE DONE CORRECTLY.

Response from Accent Maid Service
The first time client asked to have the following corrected; dust a TV, clean hood of stove, remove lime deposit in one toilet, and move hassock to vacuum under it. I agreed to send an employee to correct these things. I called to give her an arrival time and asked if she was aware that she paid the wrong amount. She got very angry and accused me of charging her to do the corrections. She said she didn't want us back. It is our policy to correct the job to the client's satisfaction. We were denied that so I told her to keep the $15 she owed us. I feel I did my best to resolved the problem. Cheri Forslund-Owner

I was initially impressed by Cheryl. She was very accommodating and fit us in quickly. When the representative (Mindy) arrived, she said the work would take 3 hours. An hour later Mindy said she was done. When the work was inspected we found she had not wiped many kitchen cabinets, had not touched many closet shelves and generally had done a terrible job. For example, a bread drawer was still full of crumbs and could not have been touched by Mindy. When asked to complete the job she said she had not brought a ladder or step stool and so could not reach the upper shelves or upper cabinets. She then attempted to wipe out higher cabinets and shelves, asking periodically if my husband could see if they were still dusty. After an hour of this we contacted Cheryl to try and settle on a lower price just to get Mindy out of the house and stop the need to watch what she did (we needed to get back to packing). The owner refunded $70.
Description of Work: We requested a complete cleaning prior to our moving into our recently purchased home. The home has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths and is approximately 2400 square feet. The cleaning was to include general cleaning and wiping out all cabinets and closet shelves. For this work, we were quoted a price of $210.

Response from Accent Maid Service
THE CLIENT SAID THEY DESPERATELY NEEDED A VACANT CLEAN THE NEXT DAY AND WE ADJUSTED OUR SCHEDULE TO FIT THEM IN. SHE AGREED TO THE $210 QUOTED PRICE. OUR EMPLOYEE WAS ABLE TO ARRIVE EARLIER THAN EXPECTED TO GET THE WORK UNDERWAY FOR THE CLIENT. OUR EMPLOYEE HAD BEEN THERE 2 HOURS WHEN THE CLIENT'S HUSBAND ARRIVED AND TOLD OUR EMPLOYEE HE HAD FOUND CRUMBS IN A DRAWER WHICH SHE HAD NOT YET CLEANED. SHE IMMEDIATELY CLEANED THE DRAWER OUT. SHE COULD NOT REACH THE TOP CABINET SHELVES/BUILT-IN TOP SHELF BY HAND. SHE USED A 7' DUSTER TO REACH THE HIGH SHELVES. THE CUSTOMER SAID THEY WERE WAY BEHIND IN PACKING AND NEEDED FOR OUR EMPLOYEE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AND LEAVE. TIME WAS NOT AN ISSUE WITH US AND OUR EMPLOYEE WOULD HAVE STAYED AS LONG AS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE JOB TO THEIR SATISFACTION, BUT THE CLIENT CHOSE TO MAKE HER LEAVE. THEY SAID TO JUST GIVE THEM MONEY BACK WHICH WE DID IN THE AMOUNT OF A $70 REFUND, WHICH THEY AGREED WAS FAIR. IT IS THEREFORE VERY DISAPPOINTING TO RECEIVE A POOR RATING AFTER TRYING TO CLEAN THEIR HOUSE, BEING TOLD TO HURRY UP AND LEAVE, GIVING THEM A SUBSTANTIAL REFUND, AND HAVING THE CLIENT AGREE ON THE PHONE THAT THIS WAS A SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION TO THE SITUATION.

This was an initial cleaning. I was very impressed at their level of detail. Where other cleaning services have cut corners, Accent really dug in and got things cleaner than they have been by a service. The shower in particular was wonderful. I only hope that this continues as I have hired them to clean every week.

The lady who came to the house was very pleasant and got to work right away. She did a decent job, especially in the bathroom, but did neglect some areas, like dusting the fan and the fireplace. Unfortunately, since our cleaning, the garbage disposal and drain in our kitchen sink are having serious drainage and disposal problems, and we have to call a plumber to fix these problems. We requested an extra service to clean the refrigerator, and the freezer was not cleaned. I assumed that would be included. The lady kept using our phone to make calls. I am not sure if she was talking to her office, or if she was calling others. We had two phone calls coming into the house for the lady, and the last one occurred after she left. The caller demanded to know the exact time the lady left, and was extremely agitated when we didn't disclose that information. While the cleaning lady was very friendly, I can't forgive our sink/disposal problem or the high cost.
Description of Work: We called for a first-time cleaning, and some extra services like deep cleaning the refrigerator, microwave, washing kitchen cabinets, and bathroom. After looking at the cost reported from most posts, it seems we were charged higher than normal. Our house is only 1000 sq. feet, and they only needed one person to "deep" clean.

CLIENT WAS GIVEN QUOTE FOR REGULAR SERVICE + EXTRAS SHE REQUESTED(WASH CABINETS,INSIDE MICROWAVE & REFRIG., REMOVE SEVERE MILDEW IN TUB & ON FLOOR TILE.) SHE TOLD US HOUSE WAS 1400 SQ.FT. QUOTE WAS BASED ON HER DESCRIPTION OF HOUSE, CONDITION IT WAS IN,& SERVICES DESIRED. QUOTES ARE BASED ON MANY FACTORS - SQUARE FOOTAGE, REQUESTED SERVICES, CONDITION OF THE HOUSE, SO ONE CAN''T DETERMINE WHAT THEIR PRICE SHOULD BE BY LOOKING AT OTHER ANGIE''S LIST REPORTS. OUR EMPLOYEE SPENT 5 HRS. CLEANING THERE. CLIENT DID NOT REQUEST FREEZER CLEANING. HAD SHE DONE SO, WE WOULD HAVE TOLD HER WE DON''T PROVIDE THAT SERVICE. EMPLOYEE MADE CALL TO OUR OFFICE TO CHECK-IN WHICH IS STANDARD SAFETY PROCEDURE. IT WAS A STORMY DAY. SHE MADE A CALL TO HER YOUNG SON TO SAY SHE WOULD BE LATE & TO CALL IF HE WAS SCARED. HE CALLED AFTER SHE LEFT, UPSET BECAUSE HE COULDN''T REACH HER. CLIENT SIGNED OUR JOB SHEET SAYING JOB WAS DONE SATISFACTORILY, GAVE OUR EMPLOYEE A TIP,& ASKED TO REQUEST HER FOR FUTURE WORK. CLEAN WAS DONE ON 12/8. ON SUNDAY NIGHT, 12/11, CLIENT LEFT PHONE MESSAGE SAYING HER GARBAGE DISPOSAL WASN''T WORKING & THAT WE CALL HER IMMEDIATELY TO GET IT FIXED FOR HER OR SHE WOULD GO PUBLIC WITH THIS INFORMATION. WE LEFT VOICEMAILS FOR HER ON 12/12& 12/13, BUT SHE NEVER RETURNED OUR CALLS. OUR EMPLOYEE DID NOT USE THE DISPOSAL OR PUT ANYTHING DOWN DRAIN. ALL SPOILED FOOD THAT WAS IN THE REFRIG. WAS PUT IN A TRASH BAG. WE WOULD HAVE GLADLY DISCUSSED ANY CONCERNS HAD SHE GIVEN US A CHANCE TO DO

I HAVE BEEN USING ACCENT MAID SERVICE SINCE LAST YEAR. I HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED OVERALL WITH MY EXPERIENCE. WHEN I HAVE HAD QUESTIONS, OR A PART OF THE SERVICE THAT I HAD CONCERNS ABOUT, CHERYL WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND SAW TO IT THAT MY CONCERNS WERE ADDRESSED. I HAVE USED CLEANING SERVICES OFF AND ON FOR MANY YEARS AND FIND THAT THIS LOCAL COMPANY IS RELIABLE, DEPENDABLE, AND VERY EAGER TO PROVIDE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.

WHEN THE CLEANING PERSON ARRIVED, I WAS IMMEDIATELY DISAPPOINTED THAT SHE COULD NOT SPEAK ANY ENGLISH, BUT A FEW WORDS. I EXPECTED A PROFESSIONAL, NOT UNTRAINED LABOR. I GENTLY EXPLAINED WHICH AREAS SHOULD BE CLEANED LAST AND SHE JUST NODDED. SHE SEEMED NERVOUS TO BE IN THE HOUSE WITH ME, SO I GAVE UP TRYING TO COMMUNICATE. AFTER A WHILE, I MOVED ITEMS AND ASKED HER TO CLEAN THOSE AREAS. AFTER SHE LEFT, I FOUND SHE HAD NOT CLEANED ANY COBWEBS AND HAD NOT DUSTED MOST PICTURE FRAMES. VACUUMING WAS ALSO POOR, LEAVING DIRTY CORNERS. I CALLED THE COMPANY, AND HAD TO COME HOME FROM WORK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY TO HAVE THE JOB FINISHED BY ANOTHER PERSON WHO SHOWED UP WITH JUST A SHORT DUSTER. SHE WIPED OFF THE COBWEBS SHE COULD REACH, BUT NOT HIGH CEILING AREAS. LATER I FOUND, SHE HAD SMEARED COBWEBS INTO THE CEILING AND BROUGHT DUST DOWN ONTO MY BED. COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT - I COULD HAVE HIRED CHEAP IMMIGRANT LABOR MYSELF FOR MUCH LESS. MY TIME WASTED EXCEEDED DOING IT MYSELF.
Description of Work: GENERAL CLEANING OF A 1800 SQ. FT., 4 BEDROOM HOUSE, INCLUDING VACUUMING, DUSTING, COBWEBS, BATHROOMS, WASHING FLOORS. I CHOSE THIS COMPANY, BECAUSE OF THE HIGH ANGIE'S LIST RATING AND THEY WERE WILLING TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE ON THE PHONE, SO THAT I COULD SAVE THE TIME NEEDED TO BE HOME FOR THE ESTIMATION (WRONG STRATEGY, AS IT TURNED OUT). ALONG WITH THE ESTIMATE, THE COMPANY EXPLAINED CLEARLY ON THE PHONE WHAT CLEANING WOULD BE DONE. I STAYED HOME FROM WORK FOR THE HOUSECLEANING, SO THAT I COULD MOVE BOXES AND LIGHT ITEMS TO GET ALL AREAS CLEANED.

Response from Accent Maid Service
THE HYPERBOLE OF THIS COMPLAINT IS UNJUSTIFIED. MISTAKES OCCUR, YET ACCENT MAID SERVICE HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 23 YEARS, WITH HUNDREDS OF REGULARLY SCHEDULED CUSTOMERS; A LONGEVITY AND SUCCESS NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT PROFESSIONALISM AND GOOD SERVICE. IN FACT, SOME CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN WITH US ALL 23 YEARS. ON THIS OCCASION, SOME THINGS WERE MISSED, PERHAPS DUE TO HAVING TO CLEAN SEVERAL ROOMS TWICE AS THE CLIENT PULLED OUT APPLIANCES (NOT PART OF THE LIGHT HOUSECLEANING HE HAD PAID FOR) AND MOVED CARTONS FROM ROOM TO ROOM. AND PERHAPS BECAUSE OUR EMPLOYEE WAS INDEED NERVOUS IN HIS PRESENCE. IN FACT, SHE REQUESTED NOT TO GO THERE AGAIN; NOT A USUAL REQUEST ON HER PART. A SECOND EMPLOYEE CORRECTED THE DEFICIENCIES THE SAME DAY AS THE COMPLAINT. ONLY THE COBWEBS ON HIS VAULTED CEILINGS COULD NOT BE REACHED SINCE, AS OUR EMPLOYEE EXPLAINED TO HIM, THAT WOULD REQUIRE USE OF A LADDER, INCLUDING ON STAIRS, WHICH OUR INSURANCE REGULATIONS DO NOT PERMIT. AFTER SHE COMPLETED THE WORK, THE SECOND EMPLOYEE SPECIFICALLY ASKED HIM IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE TO BE DONE. HE SAID HE WAS SATISFIED. WE TAKE CARE IN CHOOSING OUR EMPLOYEES, AND THEY, IN TURN, TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR WORK. THEY ARE PAID FAIRLY - IN FACT, WE ARE TOLD, BETTER THAN MOST OTHER SERVICES. ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES ARE "LEGAL" - INDEED, MOST ARE NATIVE-BORN. THE TWO THAT SPEAK LITTLE ENGLISH LEARN MORE EACH DAY AND, IN OUR VIEW, MORE THAN COMPENSATE WITH THEIR PLEASANT DISPOSITIONS AND DESIRE TO DO GOOD WORK.
