I had Maid Brigade for many years in Springfield, and was happy. But once I moved to Alexandria, the new team was awful. They cleaned, but they left door unlocked,the AC turned off on a 91 degree day, rugs upside down, fragile items half off the edge of shelves, many items balanced on a rim leaning against walls or furniture, and everything with a face was turned away from the enter of the room. They left behind cleaning cloths and an apron, and didn't leave notes when they broke things. I did call and complain about many of these things but they did not pay any closer attention in subsequent visits. Turning off the AC was the last straw, as it almost killed my elderly dog.

They were on time. They worked efficiently, and they did a good job. Overall I was pleased with them. I would definitely recommend them. They are a little pricey, but I think they do a good job; they are quick, and they come on a short notice which is nice. Their price depends on the size of the house, and they are very responsive.

They were very thorough and pleasant to deal with. They wiped down, vacuumed and cleaned every inch of my home. One woman even carried the vacuum on her back. I absolutely feel like I got my money's worth. I've used other companies in the past, but I would use them over all others.

Overall, my experience was excellent with Maid Brigade, and I hope I am lucky enough to get such a thorough cleaning again from this -- or any -- cleaning service. (I have been disappointed by other services in the past.) First of all, I scheduled the appointment less than 1 week in advance, and the gentleman (whose English was very good) was very understanding about my concern, given my impending but uncertain delivery date. In other words, if I had gone into labor on the day of the scheduled service, he said they would not have invoked their standard cancellation fee. (For an expectant woman, that was a relief and one less thing to worry about.) On the day of service, the 2-woman crew showed up slightly late (and did not call in advance to warn me), but it was not a big deal for me since I intended to be home all day. Most importantly, they got straight to work, brought all their own equipment (some services ask to use your own items, gasp!) and overall did an excellent job. One woman, whose English was better than the other's, seemed to be the "lead" and cleaned 2 bedrooms, the living room, and dining room, while the other cleaned the kitchen and bathroom. The lead cleaner was very thorough in dusting, vaccuming, and mopping the floors. I was less impressed with the other cleaner - she did a decent job, but she solicited me on the sly to have her do housecleaning on her "off" day from Maid Brigade, which is obviously unprofessional. I should also add that the lead cleaner was upfront upon arrival that it would take at least 1 hour longer than estimated for the standard cleaning, and she thus asked my permission for the service to charge more. She later gave me an update that they would need another 1/2 hour, which I again approved. It was totally worth it for a job well done - and a great piece of mind for me, with the impending arrival of my newborn!
Description of Work: We had a standard, first-time cleaning for a 900-square-foot townhouse that had not had a thorough cleaning since we moved in over 5 years ago. We decided to hire professional cleaners around my due date so that the house would be clean for our newborn.

Keeping up the housecleaning while working full-time and managing a 4 year old and 1 year old had become too overwhelming. I finally decided to contact a cleaning service for assistance and found Maid Brigade. Setting up my service was very easy and the service agent was very friendly and helpful explaining the work to be performed during my visit. On the first visit, my reaction was average. I was very pleased to have a clean house, but upon closer inspection found the hard wood floors not thoroughly cleaned, areas of dusting that were overlooked, etc. I had some interaction with the agent as our bathroom sink had a chip that I'm confident wasn't there in the morning before we left. The agent checked with the team, and they claimed it was there when they arrived. Knowing we are eventually remodeling the bathroom, I let it go at that. With that information, I was asked if I'd like to schedule another appointment for the following month, and I did. Upon the second visit, I received a phone call from customer service indicating that while dusting a picture in the master bedroom it fell off the wall and shattered. While unhappy that I had a broken picture and now also a hassle of finding a replacement, I was pleased with the service rep who indicated I could send them a bill for either the repairs or a replacement picture. Once I arrived home, I found my broken picture and a house I would consider less than cleaned. Again, areas of dusting were missed and an entire area rug was not vacuumed. I really felt as though I had paid a lot of money for a surface clean that I could have done myself, even with my limited time to do so. I found a replacement picture, mailed in my receipt, and received a reimbursement check in the mail. No follow up phone call to schedule another appointment, which was really better that way. I give high marks to the customer service members I came in contact with, but that only gets them so far when it's the teams in the field that make or break their company. Maid Brigade just wasn't for us. Fortunately, I was able to find another company that I consider to do good work and charge a fair price.

I printed out the list of services Maid Brigade stated they would complete as part of the deep clean. If my brother had not been at the house while they cleaned to remind them of the services listed, our house would have been quickly brushed over - at best. Fortunately, the staff acknowledged the list, however they spoke no English and it was very difficult for my brother to communicate that the list was from Maid Brigade, stating what services should be included. As it was, even with my brother reminding them of what should be covered in a deep clean, the cleaners did not adequately address what they stated they would. Window sills, picture frames and the kitchen were not thoroughly dusted and the floors were not polished/cleaned properly. The stated price for our house was $200 and the services provided were definitely not worth the amount.
Description of Work: I was not impressed with Maid Brigade. My husband and I hired them to do a deep clean in our house after having construction completed. I was in the hospital giving birth and we wanted our house clean for me to bring the new baby home.

my mom is a very nice person. she has been using maid brigade for at least 3 years. on occasion she has complained to them about their service but she is a little too nice and has been letting them get away with robbery. last week while i was here, i made a list of at least 15 things they didn't clean, very obvious things like skipping dusting surfaces and a few spots on the floor in the kitchen around the edges of the island that have obviously not been cleaned in a very long time among many other things. we decided to give them one more chance. i agreed to pay. today i watched them some. they showed clear knowledge of what to do. i asked one woman and she showed me her tools. they were good tools. the problem is they don't really use them much. as for what they do do, they don't clean an entire room. after one of the women didn't do it, i showed her that she needed to move chairs and vacuum under them, that she needed to move a laundry basket and vacuum under it, etc. another few examples, she vacuumed some of the baseboards, but not all of them. the woman whose responsibility it was to dust, was out the door. shocked, i made her come back in and painstakingly showed her room after room that she skipped. she made me feel guilty so i didn't get to show her all of it. in some rooms, as was the case last week, she had dusted around things on some surfaces, but when i told her to dust and watched, she picked up the pictures and candlesticks and small lamps and both cleaned under them and wiped them off. the problem is, its not my job to force them to do it and after i pointed out that she'd skipped so many rooms, she didn't come clean and clean all the surfaces and things she skipped. after one of the woman showed me she had a scrub brush, i showed her the floor in the powder room was never cleaned. i scrubbed it lightly and dirt came right off. she said she'd clean it and when i went back in, it wasn't much different. what is more appalling to me, they've had the account for 3 years and have never cleaned the powder room floor well. now this wasn't a one time occurrence. in addition to the example i mentioned earlier, i found many, many surfaces that haven't been dusted in a very long time. i have cleaned a house before. when you clean a room, you clean the room, not some of it or hardly any of it, as was the absurd case today. a service or cleaning person is hired to clean a house. period. not to clean some of it or be so lazy that they skip most of it. i don't want to bring this up, but, these women are not legal residents of this country. when speaking to my sister's partner, they revealed such. there are many, many legal residents out of work in this country, i am not sure maid brigade should be hiring illegal aliens who think they have a right to get over on people under the guise of working hard.

Response from Maid Brigade Capital Region
We certainly agree that our client is a very nice woman. (Honoring her privacy, we will not name her here.) Many other comments submitted by her daughter, however, we disagree with. And we surely find the practice of disparaging a company publicly without giving the company an opportunity to address, let alone even know of, disappointments highly disagreeable. The cleaners naturally remember the daughter following them around on what turned out to be their last visit, pointing out what she wanted done, actions which do interrupt the efficient left to right, top to bottom normal flow of work. But their account of the actions and results differs from hers. The assertion, however, that the employees we sent to the home were illegal aliens is not a matter of subjective opinion. It is absolutely wrong as a matter of fact and law. Despite whatever her sister’s partner heard someone once say, the accusation here is a classic “telephone game” mishap. (Partner: I would think it’s hard to get papers without a driver’s license. Housecleaner: I would think so.) That employee had then and still has her driver’s license. She also has every legal right to where she lives and how she works. So does her teammate. We are held to a much higher standard than drawing false conclusions from a casual chat between others. Our company and our employees comply with ICE, Homeland Security, etc. After saying, “I don’t want to bring this up,” the falsehood nonetheless published here casts an entirely unwarranted negative light on our company and our employees. To put the other comments into perspective, our team cleaned this home 64 times. Our client gave us feedback on 5 of those cleanings, rating us as Excellent each of 5 times. There were two incidents of breakage (a soap dish and a butter dish). On both occasions, we called our client to notify her and to provide reimbursements for both mishaps. Some of our clients send in every per-paid comment card we leave, some send them in only a couple of times per year, and some not at all. When we receive occasional, but consistent affirmations (Excellent) and zero merely satisfied ratings, nor any “Needs Improvement” ratings, we plead guilty of assuming all is well. As it turns out, that assumption was not well placed, at least not with regard to the visiting daughter. If our client had interim disappointments, we simply did not know it. The virtue behind “if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all” need not apply when you pay for a service, especially when the provider seeks and provides the means for candid feedback like we do. Who you say it to, however, can be not only virtuous, but effective. We have other client situations wherein we also talk with our client’s concerned parent or adult children who help them with their affairs. We clean for the expectant mother at the behest of the caring soon- to-be grandmother. We clean for the recuperating elder at the behest of her eldest granddaughter. We certainly applaud and cooperate with supportive loved ones, whether they are the paying party or not. Here, however, we were not given an opportunity to cooperate. I don’t mean to intimate that this daughter made the original, or any interim, arrangement for her mother with us. She did not. Our office has no record of ever having heard from her until seeing her posting on Angie’s List. When our actual client (not the daughter) called to cancel service, we asked the routine exit questions that help us identify what, if anything, we can do better. No mention was made of the Angie’s list review or of any of the issues raised there by the daughter, though she did tell us that our late arrival on more than one occasion had inconvenienced her. (Travel through Columbia to the part of Howard County can be sticky.) We were told that an alternative service was going to be tried at a reduced cost. The costs quoted fall in the range of those of a company that just this week sought us to buy them out. When asked how they charge just $80 to $100 for most cleanings, they indicated that they (in violation of law!) don’t withhold Social Security or other FICA taxes, don’t pay Worker’s Compensation, SUTA, or other insurance for the protection of clients and employees. Nor did they provide reliable company cars or many other things that professional housecleaning companies do. We are not suggesting that the alternative company and the putative seller are one in the same. We don’t know. One wonders, however, if they share the same illegal cost avoidance scheme. One wonders what will happen if they break something more expensive than a butter dish or if a cleaner is injured in the home. We’ve been providing trustworthy housecleaning for 21+ years and have operated above board from day 1. Our Maryland workers pleased hundreds of clients last week. Rarely does anyone take the time to tell the world anymore than the news stations announce how many planes landed safely at National airport that day. We understand. After all, as we’ve long said, “you’ve got other things to do!” But it feels unfair to have someone get on a platform like Angie’s List and broadcast damaging views (and erroneous statements) that remain posted for so long as the internet shall live without first trying to work with the service provider about the disappointment to find an accommodation. We have customer service representatives available 8 to 5 for just this purpose. If you, dear reader, choose to give us a try, we hope that if you are ever disappointed, that you let us know directly so we can solve the problem. We have lots of very lovely clients. Being lovely, however, does not mean you can’t raise concerns. We’ll want to hear from you so we can please you better. In addition to the postage paid quality cards we leave after every cleaning, we also pay a 3rd party surveyor to send a quick 3- question survey by e-mail, twice a year, to garner additional input. There are literally 1000 or more things that can go wrong when you clean your own home. You can accidentally knock over a lamp when you tug on the vacuum cord. When you do, it’s on you. When we do, it’s on us, and thus we train our people not to tug. You, too, may clean the house and be very thorough in one room and find the next room not needing as much attention. When you do, that’s fine. If we, however, miss areas of a room you’ve paid us to clean, we’ll come back and do it over. Please give us a call at 1-800-515-MAID (6243). ps - There is a box on Angie that requires, in connection with this response, that we affirm it is "true and accurate and represents my actual first hand experience." It's true and accurate, but Maid Brigade is a team effort and not every member of the team had all the information provided above as a first hand experience. But in all cases, at least one person did.
