Description of Work: I have used cleaning authority for many years. The quality of the service depends on the team that shows up. They consistently do a good job, and sometimes they do a great job...but it depends on the team. Punctuality has been a consistent problem. They are often later than they predict.

Response from The Cleaning Authority - Concord
I realize we have had a rough patch of B/C grades all at once lately, however this grade, while accurate in this customer's mind, would not be considered accurate by most any other person. I terminated this customer myself and refunded his final clean payment. We were never going to meet his expectations. He had a clean he considered inadequate. We sent another team out to fix their list of issues the next day. The Mrs. said she was very pleased with the finished product (we spent triple the expected time cleaning) and my team left. Then the Mr. called up. To paraphrase, he said the work done was good, however there was no excuse for us not emptying all the trash again on that 2nd visit. He gave my office manager a multiple-minute lecture about how, among other things, how unreasonable it was of us not to empty the trash again the next day. At that point, I realized this was a hopeless situation on my end, so I refunded his last payment and told him we were not the right fit for him. As a company, we did hit a rough patch while being drastically understaffed two to three months ago, but we have pulled out of that. I do believe we are operating again at the "Super Service Award" level we obtained in 2012 & 2014.

Description of Work: We are an older couple and need help cleaning. When I contacted Cleaning Authority it was listed as A on Angie's List. I felt the price was high for a small condo, but did employ them on a monthly basis for three months. They did not arrive at the agreed upon time, there were no phone calls saying they would be late. One of the women came all three months but each of the other times a different second person came. Two of the months the bathrooms were not cleaned to the standards they promised. No one ever made follow up calls to see if we were happy. In short, company did not deliver on the promised work. I will not have them back.

Description of Work: They did cleaning of a property prior to an open house. It was hard to schedule (limited availability, had to schedule an appt prior to cleaning, woman in charge of scheduling rarely available via phone). | |When they did come out there were several things that we talked about that were not cleaned but they did promptly fix

Response from The Cleaning Authority - Concord
Our apologies for making it difficult to schedule a one-time clean. Since her clean, we have actually turned off one-time clean availability through September 14. Despite an average pay rate of $11.26/hour and offering paid holidays, vacation, medical/dental/vision (50% paid), and retirement plan, we found ourselves critically short-staffed in July. As owner, I tripled the recruiting/hiring work and we have been blessed with many new highly-qualified employees. It takes a full month before we scale back the supervision of new employees, so we temporarily turned off one-time cleans until I feel comfortable growing the business again. Thank you for the honest feedback. If, as a member and reader of this feedback, you have not yet noticed, most of our less than stellar reviews come from one-time customers. When you've cleaned for someone 100+ times, both parties know what to expect. We need to get better at aligning expectations upfront with new customers...I feel that is our greatest weakness at the moment.

Description of Work: Cleans my house every other month. I have an unpredictable schedule and they allow me to be flexible with the cleaning dates, a big plus for me. I've used them for most of 3 years, and yes we've the occasional bump, but each has been resolved. A good consistent cleaning or I wouldn't continue to use them.

We cleaned 14 times over 14 months before this customer moved out of town. Not once did he reach out to us and communicate his dissatisfaction. It is painful to never be given the chance to correct a real or perceived problem. I hope that those reading this response will read my responses to other negative Angie's List reviews so they can see the lengths to which we go in an effort to please customers and resolve service issues.

They work in teams of two to three people. The last team that we've had for the last three to four cleanings has a cleaner that's really good and conscientious. Previous to that they had such a high turnover that different workers would come out but no one would be the same. This caused me to be home so I could explain to them where everything was and what to do with things. Now that we have regular cleaners its more comforting so we don't have explain everything each time they come out. The approximate cost listed is what we pay when we use them for the month.
Description of Work: We've used them for about a year to do house cleaning for us. Initially we had them come out every two weeks but for the last four months we've had them come out about once a month. We have postponed them for about the last month due to remodeling work we are having done.

Thank you for the review. Everyone has a different perception on pricing. As a company, we work toward averaging $30-$33 per labor hour when cleaning in order to stay in business. We have averaged $26.68 per labor hour on this account and have not raised the price in the 20 months that we've provided service to this customer. Our employee turnover has fallen dramatically in the past year. 73% of our cleaners have 1+ years experience with The Cleaning Authority and 88% have been working with us at least 6 months.

Response from The Cleaning Authority - Concord
Thank you for the review. We appreciate this customer's business, but have a different view of what constitutes good punctuality. We have cleaned their home 52 times, allowed them to cancel at no charge 13 times, and not once forced them to reschedule their clean to another day. Despite their 20% cancellation rate, we appreciate their business and thus reserve their same spot with the same team every other week. Our last 9 job arrival times have been within a 1 hour 30 minute window on the same day with the same team. When any customer cancels their clean (roughly 5% of scheduled cleans are canceled on any given week by customers due to unforeseen circumstances), the cancellation impacts the schedules of the other customers on their same team. As opposed to charging harsh cancellation fees as a method of minimizing cancellations, we work to minimize the scheduling impact of cancellations on other customers. We are proud of our flexibility and punctuality record and hope to keep this and all customers happy.

We've been using The Cleaning Authority for 4 years. They have outstanding service. If there's a problem they take care of it. They show up on time consistently. Numerous times through out the year, a supervisor shows up to double check the work. That's a very nice feeling.

Cleaning Authority started out well. However, the longer they were cleaning my home, the more I noticed that the crews would skip certain tasks. I noticed they skipped the master bathroom shower and a couple of sinks. They sent a crew out to re-do this cleaning. The next cleaning went well, but the cleaning after, I started to notice that they would skip dusting things and just move things on shelves to make it look like they dusted. The crew also skipped the master bath again. When I contacted the manager, he was very responsive and professional. However, we just didn't feel comfortable in continuing their service.
Description of Work: Cleaning Authority was hired to clean my home. They initially performed a full cleaning of the house. They did a great job with this. My home is 3,600 square feet and a two-story. After the initial cleaning, they were to clean my home every other week and rotate a "detail cleaning" each time they were here. Cleaning Authority was to send the same cleaning crew with at least two people each time they cleaned. I asked them to skip a few rooms and only vacuum in two rooms. I mainly wanted them to concentrate on the most used rooms and bathrooms.

ALTHOUGH WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON QUALITY, PROFESSIONALISM, AND SERVICE, WE DID INDEED LET THIS CUSTOMER DOWN. WE CLEAN TO A 98.5% SATISFACTION RATE WITH OUR NEARLY 500 REGULAR CLIENTS IN THE SOUTH COUNTY AREA. WE ALSO TRY HARD TO GET THE OTHER 1.5% SATISFIED IN THE END. WE DID REDO THE WORK AND GIVE 40% OFF THE CLEAN PRICE OF $125 WHEN THE CUSTOMER FIRST BROUGHT THE ERRORS TO OUR ATTENTION. WHEN SHE CALLED THE SECOND TIME, WE OFFERED TO GIVE HER A 100% FREE, INSPECTED CLEAN THE NEXT TIME TO MAKE AMENDS. SHE CHOSE NOT TO TAKE THE OFFER, WHICH WAS CERTAINLY WITHIN HER RIGHT.

MIKE, THE OWNER, WAS NEAT AND CLEAN IN APPEARANCE AND ON TIME FOR THE ''SEE AND QUOTE'' APPOINTMENT. ALTHOUGH THE COMPANY IS BASICALLY A CONTRACT CLEANER, HE AGREED TO A ONE-TIME. TWO PEOPLE CAME AND DID A GOOD JOB WITHIN 2 HRS. WHAT'S GREAT IS THAT THEY BRING THEIR OWN CLEANING SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT. WHAT'S NOT GOOD IS THAT THEY DO NOT MOVE ANYTHING TO CLEAN UNDER. THEIR PERFORMANCE WAS A CONVENIENCE FOR ME. I THOUGHT THEIR PRICE TO BE HIGH BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE AREA.
