HSH did an outstanding job. They set up the time very soon after we purchased the Big Deal, and they were able to accommodate our busy schedule. The team arrived promptly and worked diligently throughout the afternoon. They were pleasant, courteous, and hard-working. The house sparkled after they were finished. I would absolutely hire them again.
Description of Work: We had Home Sweet Home Cleaning Services, Inc. (HSH) clean our home (including the bathrooms, kitchen, and several bedrooms).

Sue was amazing! I originally purchased their deal thinking I wanted the cleaning done before Christmas, but quickly realized I wouldn't be able to work them into my schedule, despite the many options Sue provided. I decided to have them come back after the New Year...only to be surprised with a last minute change of plans - house guests for New Year's Eve! I emailed Sue on the 27th and she responded right away with an appointment for Saturday. She had to reschedule due to the snow that day, but came early on New Year's Eve morning and had everything cleaned up by the time I got back from the grocery store! And when I say clean...the team did a phenomenal job! We have four daughters, two cats, and two dogs, so to say our house was in need of a 'deep clean' may have been an understatement. I came home to a sparkling kitchen, fresh and pristine bathrooms, vacuumed and/or mopped floors, and dusted and straightened living areas. I have hired cleaning services in the past whose only goal appeared to be going through the motions of cleaning in the shortest amount of time possible...but Sue's team obviously took a great deal of pride in their work and it showed throughout my home. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, quality home cleaning provider.
Description of Work: Our house needed a major cleaning for the holidays! The team from Home Sweet Home cleaned the kitchen, dining room, living room, halls, family room, bathrooms, and master bedroom.

I wanted the house to be really clean for the Christmas Holidays - all my kids were coming in and I didn't want to start out exhausted. I got the day I requested and they did exactly what I wanted and the house looked great for my holidays and my family. It was absolutely painless, everything went according to plan, even my cats were happy and untraumatized!
Description of Work: The 2 person crew did a deep cleaning of my 3.5 bathrooms and they absolutely sparkled. They did a good thorough vacuuming of my main floor and my bedroom floor and they cleaned my kitchen - counters, cabinets, applicances and floor. I was thoroughly impressed. They did not do windows or laundry because I did not ask them to do those things.

I would not hire them again.
Description of Work: This company was hired for 12 hours of cleaning. The first two people that came did a fairly good job. The next two people did an okay job. The third two people who came were done in an hour and and did not clean the powder room or some of the floors. They were hired to do all bathrooms, clean floors, and vacuum carpets.

The very first time they came, we did have a few problems; however, the company's owner/director responded quickly and offered to make things right, even if it meant absorbing a large cost. It didn't come to that so it wasn't necessary, but it showed she's honest. In addition, we'd paid for an initial "deep cleaning," and they were very generous with the number of cleaners and the hours they spent. I thought later that the estimate seemed low (maybe they underestimated how dirty our house was) but they honored the estimate. We have three dogs and one is a BIG shedder. The cleaners bring their own equipment and are able to pick up the dog hair much better than we ever could with out Dyson, especially on the stairs. They're willing to be flexible about time, as well as which areas to clean. (For a small additional fee, they will add the basement if we just ask, for example.) One thing I really love about them is that they will change the sheets on the beds!!
Description of Work: We've stayed with this company since using the Angie's List deal. Our neighbors recommended them, as well. They clean most of 2 levels of our home, including 2.5 baths, 2 bedrooms, halls, carpeted stairs, livingroom, den, kitchen, diningroom.

I contacted the company 2 days before the date on which the cleaning was performed and the owner was able to fulfill my request without problem or delay. This was impressive especially since it was a complete move in/out deep clean. The cleaning crew spent almost 8 hours cleaning the entire house. With the exception of a few small places that they missed, they did a very impressive job. I was greeted by the pleasant aroma of cleaning solvents when I walked through the door. The price for the cleaning was very reasonable and much lower than the other companies from whom I received quotes for the same work. Furthermore, HSH included other cleaning tasks that these other companies didn't offer, mainly window cleaning. My only suggestion is that the cleaning crews apply a little more attention to detail in order to avoid missing any areas. I recommend this company.
Description of Work: A move in/out deep clean of the entire home (living spaces only): Kitchen surfaces, refrigerator (inside and reachable surfaces), oven/stove both inside and out, cabinets, bathrooms, vacuum, mopping, windows (interior up to a certain height, and exterior if the windows open to the inside), window sills, baseboards, closets.

They were able to complete all in the limited amount of time provided by the coupon. They were pleasant and friendly. Their work was professional and they treated my mother with respect. I would hire them again anytime.
Description of Work: I purchase this coupon for my mother's home. Between the two of us, we have been too busy or dealing with health issues that have been preventing us from keeping up with the routine housecleaning necessary for homeowners. The supervisor dropped off two cleaning crew and after walking through with my mother who pointed out what needed to be done and the additional things we hoped could be done in the amount of time paid for, she translated the desired work and left them to do the job. My mother peeked in on them periodically and truly found their work to be exceptional. The supervisor returned around 20 minutes before the time was up and jumped in to help complete the hoped for jobs. The needed work was both bathrooms, my mother's bedroom and the kitchen plus vacuuming the carpet throughout the top floor. The pluses included the carpets in my bedroom and the spare bedroom, as well as a mop job in the family room and kitchen.

I wanted to use this deal to get a move in cleaning and try their service, but I was told I can only split the 13 hrs included in the coupon into 5, 4 and 4 hrs. Well, the fine print does not state that, but I accepted they can make up their own rules. The quality of their cleaning varied among cleaning teams. On average, the quality was OK. Their price was good compared to other cleaning companies, but not better than individual cleaning ladies. That is, if you can get good referrals.

I bought $99 big deal for 5 hours of holiday housecleaning close to end of Oct. I waited for about a week to hear from them. I got email from Angies's list customer service to see if I receved contact from them. Then I got a email from Angie's e-commerce co-ordinator saying they don't contact me. I should contact them. It was confusion. It took serveral times of email and phone call to set up the schedule. I was as flexible as I can be. Only requirement from me was to get it done before Thanksgiving. So the schedule was on Friday the week before Thanksgiving. I did not know what time they will come. My kids were concerned stranger in the house when they come home from school. I got off work early to be sure I am home when kids get home from school. When I got home at 3:30 and notice the house was not cleaned yet. I called the owner to find out when her cleaning team would be here. She told me soon. They got there close to 4:30p and my whole family were home while they are cleaning. At first we stayed outside the house then we came in and stayed at lower level to be out of their way. It is inconsiderate to schedule that late appointment on Friday. Even though I am not happy with communication and scheduling. I am satisfied with cleaning results. I think cleaning team did good job cleaning. It was a lot for them to do. They managed did as much as they can. This was a test to see if we want them to be our regular cleaning service or not. But I don't think we would do more from here.
Description of Work: Big deal for 5 hours of holiday housecleaning. Three cleaning team members cleaned 1.5hr.

The three ladies doing the work were very professional and exceeded my expectations. Susan Doyle, the owner, runs the best crews. I will not use any other cleaners as I don't think there are any better companies. I recommend that anyone try Home Sweet Home Services. I believe you will be totally satisfied.
Description of Work: 3 Bathrooms and the kitchen were done more thorough than any other housecleaner I have ever used. They also vacuumed 3 bedrooms, the living room, dining room and large family room. Any time remaining was spent dusting.

. We were amazed at the the quality of the cleaning. The team of two worked steadily for almost five hours and left the house the cleanest it has ever been - I mean it had never been that clean! After years of trying individuals, franchise services, small businesses, Home Sweet Home has set a standard of excellence that we didn't know existed. We have two cats that seem to shed no matter what the season so that gives you an idea of what the cleaners were dealing with. They cleaned floors, walls, cabinets, bathrooms, counter tops, mopped, vacuumed, dusted - even cleaned the inside of the microwave! We have now arranged for a regular cleaning every three weeks for $125 and, based on our initial experience, we expect this will be money well spent.
Description of Work: The team of two completed a thorough initial cleaning of our house which had not been professionally cleaned for a couple of years because we'd become disenchanted with the quality of work of our last cleaner. Being unhappy with the demands of our own efforts we looked through Angie's List and tried a special from Home Sweet Home. We discussed the project in detail with the owner so that we were clear which parts of the house we wanted cleaned.

I purchase the cleaning "special" for 5 hours of cleaning. I had corresponded with the owner via email on a couple occasions specifying my needs and thought the information would be passed along to the cleaning crew but it was not. I was not at all happy with the level of cleaning and very dissapointed with the owner's response when I express my dissatisfaction. Would not use them again.

They had trouble finding the condo the first time but after that they came promptly at the scheduled time. I was very satisfied with their service and hope to have them come on a regular monthly basis. Since it took them an extra hour to clean the condo the first time, I had to pay an $50 but it was worth it.
Description of Work: I bought a coupon for $249 which covered 3 visits spread over 3 months with 5 person-hrs for the first cleaning and 4 person-hrs for the other two. Two people came each time. They cleaned two bedrooms and 2 full baths on the second floor, the kitchen, a half bath and the floors of the living and dining rooms on the first floor, and the stairs between those two floors.

The team was cordial and focused on the work that they needed to do. They paid attention to detail and were able to complete everything except for one room because the time ran out. At the end of the job, the team leader let me know that if I have them back, they would follow a schedule of working on various items each time they are here. I was very happy with the team, the cleaning, and their professionalism. I will bring them back on a regular basis and it was nice to try them out and feel satisfied with an excellent job.
Description of Work: I utilized an Anglie's List coupon that I purchased which provided for a time duration for the cleaning. Prior to the cleaning, Sue Doyle asked me what I wanted the team to focus on the first time. I let her know and the team arrived on time. There was also a team leader that came along and reviewed everything with me.
