Maxine, the owner, was very nice and very responsive.I worked with this company for several months trying to give them a chance. Maxine sent numerous different teams to my house, each team leaving something undone. I never knew when or if they would show up, I requested that they stay out of my curio cabinet, only to come home to find a broken piece of crystal. I then found pieces of a vase that they never told me they broke. They were supposed to do a "spring cleaning" that I paid extra for, supposedly they were at my house for 6 hours, came home to numerous items not cleaned, furniture, and stairs not vacuumed, laundry room not cleaned. The last day of their employment they were 4 hours late, 3 people showed up, stayed 45 minutes. The showers, the second bathroom, the laundry room, kitchen sinks and stairs were left filthy.
Response from Colonial Cleaning Company

"We actually had your home for years over 2 years. We tried very hard to work around your day changes as well. When anyone needs a day of the week change it is hard to keep the same team. I offered to pay for your broken item several months ago and you never allowed me to do that. Tina was asked to clean those items. Your deep cleaning you were not charged for. I returned your check. I wish you the best of luck and I'm sorry you left us disappointed."

They showed up on the wrong day and we re-scheduled. I called back and left a message but nobody got back to me. The price was okay with 2 people doing that. The girls who came were pretty good. The girls were quite professional. I would not use them again in the future.

Tech came in, introduced herself and asked for directions and expectations. She then went right to work and continue for the full 3 hours.

I'm surprised at the other negative reviews, please don't let it deter you. I found out about Colonial Cleaning from a Williamsburg Facebook group where someone had recommended them. So I checked out their website and I thought it looked good. I filled out info on the Colonial Cleaning website and Maxine got back to me right away. We scheduled a cleaning and the employees showed up on time and were ready to go! These are professional cleaners, they are way more efficient than I could be and they worked straight for over 2 hours. The house looked great!! They had no problems with me asking if they'd use my natural cleaning products. This isn't like a lady who feather dusts and tells you about her weekend, this is a professional cleaning crew who are ready to start and know what they're doing and they're really good at it. And they're very kind. Maxine said the team that cleaned my house has been with her for years, which is nice to know the turn over rate is low. Her website says she gives background checks, amongst other things. We are really happy and hope to continue with this service for a long time!! Thank you!

Response from Colonial Cleaning Company

"Correct. When you do not have to pay irs, taxes, work comp, and one million dollars in liability coverage you can defiantly afford to be cheaper. We do offer 3 hours for $100.00. I'm so sorry there wasn't value in it for you. The good thing to consider is if one of my staff is injuried or causes damage our insurance covers. Some one under the table you may be held responsible under your home owners insurance."

They are not dependable.  They don't return your calls.  I called Maxine on Monday, July 27, to verify the appointment.  She verified that someone would be here around 10 for the appointment.  The person never showed up.  I had a feeling that they wouldn't show up.  I had an extremely difficult time getting in touch with Maxine.  She wouldn't answer phone calls from my home phone, but I called once with my cell phone and she answered immediately.  I left multiple messages and she never responded to any of them.  The whole thing was a terrible experience.
Response from Colonial Cleaning Company

"I received and made several calls back and forth from you regarding cleaning an oven. I actually spoke to you several several times. My out last message was asking for a price which was from your cell phone. I called you back and left a message with the price and ask if that was ok and to please confirm the price was acceptable and what payments we accept. I did not hear back from you so therefore thought your didn't wish to have us come. I was even dropping to a one hour rate when we usually have a two hour minimum. I'm very sorry and shocked that you felt this way. Best wishes to you and I'm sorry you feel this way after our repeated conversations about the oven. Blessings to you."

Left message for same day cleaning for 2k sf home approx 8am.  Maxine returned my call and said she had girls in that area that could fit me in around 1pm.  At 2:30pm, I called maxine to follow up and she advised I could expect them around 4:30pm.  A text was received at 3pm that they would be there in about 45 minutes.  We were in the process of moving all of our stuff from the old house to the new house so we stopped what we were doing and high-tailed it BACK over to the new house again to make sure we could meet them there.  We got a call from Jennifer at 3:30 saying that they had been at he house and were told not to wait..."Maxine doesn't like us to sit around and wait" she says...so they left and said they could come back the next day.  I asked about the 45 minute window and she said she didnt know anything about it.  I texted Maxine back to let her know what happened...no response.  I let it go because we had boxes stacking up in the garage and furniture being delivered the following day...and it was a same day call, right?  THE NEXT DAY, I return to my new house after work, picking up more boxes at my old house and with my 6 yr old, 10 yr old and 4 month old in tow only to discover dirty hand smudges on the wall (from little kids), dirty closets and cobwebs from light fixtures, dirty fridtge, little handprints all over the back door...from the inside...kitchen drawers full of crumbs with toothpicks and notepads still in them....THIS WAS A TOTALLY EMPTY HOUSE.  Very disappointed and was really hoping to give yet another glowing review for this company.  Guess I will be requesting services elsewhere  :(
Response from Colonial Cleaning Company

"I'm very sorry for your disappointment. I was under the impression that you were not at the home per our conversation, they were going to have to wait I was under impression at 430 you were 45 minutes away )-; We booked this day of your closing which I'm sure was very stressful. If I had know you were disappointed in the cleaning I could have sent them back or not charge you full prize. I know from our conversation you thought the house would have been left clean and it wasn't and it wasn't fair it fell on you. I will refund a portion of your cleaning. You were charge $150 for that square footage and no washing or walls were discussed. The appliances, cabinets, etc were to be included as well as the floors, bathrooms. I'm sorry you fill this way. Blessings to you in your new home."

I scheduled a cleaning time and when the time arrived they were 20 minutes late.  I called.  They called back and said that they were on the way and would call me back.  They never called back and arrived 1 hour late.  I had to return to work and could not use them.
Response from Colonial Cleaning Company

"I'm so sorry mr [Member Name Removed]. You have used our services a few times for a year or more. We have appreciated that. You have always had the same cleaner Carmen for each visit. As I explained the home before you took longer than normal. We can't be in a 1/2 hour window in the middle of the day. On some occasions she has waited an hour to meet time windows. This time I should have book you for later in the day or evening perhaps when you have more time. The only way I can guarantee an exact time is if you are first thing in the morning. The girls can't rush through and try to be prompt. We try very hard to be prompt. Carmen didn't answer her phone in the home she was cleaning to give me an update. We rarely answer or text a call when we are cleaning someone's home. Again I'm sorry for the inconvience on this visit. In the future I would be more clear and book much later for you as I didn't realize until to late that there was 30 min lunch break. Blessings to you always"

We had a baby in October, and wanted to find some temporary work around the house to help keep things clean while we settled in to a new routine.  After reading so many positive reviews on Angie's List, I called the owner Maxine for a quote.  She could not have been more pleasant or accomodating to work with in coordinating time for someone to come out.  She reassured me that the same person would always be at our home and quickly quoted rates for our home ($100 for the first 3-hour visit, $80 for subsequent 2-hour visits based on a bi-weekly schedule.)
Carmen has now been to our home 6 times and she does such a great job.  My husband and I are both very comfortable with her being in our home and she is very thorough in her work.
We will be switching from 2x/month to once a month starting in March 2015 because things are settling down around our home, and I believe the rate is increasing slightly to ~$90/visit.
Bottom line: I would not hesitate to recommend Colonial Cleaning to others for their superior quality, service and prices.

Outstanding service! Maxine went the extra mile to help us in getting our house cleaned up on very short notice just before Christmas. They were very thorough, extremely polite, and all at a very good price. We absolutely recommend CCC!!

The cleaners were pleasant and professional.  They arrived on time and did a great job cleaning my house.  Fixtures look like new.  Everything is tidy and very clean.  It was like magic.  I mean everything is eye popping clean.  I am definitely going to use them again!
