The Maids

DO NOT USE THIS OUTFIT! After a «tell you everything you want to hear» sales pitch, they were a no show. The time was specifically set for 2 pm. NO SHOW I called the office – no answer even though it was within their stated business hours. No return call. I called many times. Then, one hour late, they show up. Tina checked her book, saying she was not told when to show up. THIS IS NOT BELIEVABLE. No courtesy of a phone call. NOTHING WHEN THEY HAVE YOU HOOKED, you are dumped.

My renter moved out without cleaning our townhome and she left a mess. A co-​worker of mine had suggested The Maids, so I contacted them. Fortunately, The Maids was able to accomodate my very rush schedule and was able to clean my townhome the next day. They did a stellar job! I would’ve never been able to clean the townhome the way they did and I’m a clean freak. The bathrooms were gleaming, the fridge was sparkly and the oven looked brand new. It’s like they waved a magic wand and made it pretty again. They were also very communicative throughout the process since I couldn’t be at the townhome when they were there. The only drawback was the price. I was quoted between $ 300 – 450 over the phone for an 1800 sq foot townhome. When I got the total price it came out to over $ 500. That was a total shock to me. I’m glad I had a security deposit to use because I probably wouldn’t have paid for it myself.

In late August I hired Chinook services, a division of The Maids, to clean my windows inside and outside. I was home for the entire day and thought the two men did a nice job for $ 325. When my husband came home that afternoon he noticed that his 30 tablets of oxycodone were missing. Although I contacted the company immediately they could not help. When I contacted the local police department I found out one of the men was well know to the department and not in a good way. Neither man confessed so I am left with no resolution to this.
If you use these people please make sure you lock up all your valuables and medications.
Update. I received the message from the company but the fact remains that only 3 people were in my house that day. Myself and the two Chinnook employees. When they were gone so were the pills. It’s simple logic to figure out who took them.
No one confessed to the police and the company did not cash the check until the investigation was closed. At first I thought that they felt bad or were embarrassed but I guess greed won out. Not a good company.

I am a super busy single mom that works about 70 hours a week. I play a sport, and my daughter is in 5 after school activities. My house is dusted-​ish, and clean-​ish, and I always complained about how I wish I could just have a full week off to clean. My best friend bought me a gift certificate to the Maids for Christmas, and I kept waiting to use it until I had a chance to clean a little, so they wouldn’t judge my dusty house… I know, I know… Anyway, I finally scheduled the appointment, and they came today.
I am SO impressed– they did an amazing job. My house smelled great, they dusted and vacuumed up months of pet hair, and scrubbed the crap out of my oven. My bathroom fixtures all sparkled and the ladies that came out were friendly and personable. Did I mention that they cleaned the blinds? I asked about windows, and she said they’d do them if asked.
I would highly recommend and am planning to redo my budget so I can include this service, as a once a month helper.

Weird– I posted this last year and it just showed up today! Still– a great job :)

I had a move out cleanup done for a 2 story 2000 sq ft house where only one person lived. The house was already empty and in very good shape. Given that the cleanup service did not include windows nor carpet shampooing, I cannot figure out how 4 people spent 3 hours in that house. I paid over $ 40 per person-​hour ($ 500 total) and I did not feel what was done was worth that. I’ve had similar move out cleanups from other companies on similar sized houses, and they’ve done a better job in less time for half the cost.
The crew leader had apparently memorized some key phrases but otherwise no one on the crew knew how to speak English.
Crew leader: «How much time you allow?»
Me: «How much time do you think it will take?»
Crew leader: «yes»
Me: «No, how much time do YOU think it will take?»
Crew leader: «yes»
Other questions I asked about the service they would perform were always answered «yes» but the work wasn’t done. I truly believe she just answered «yes» to anything and had no idea what I was saying.

When it comes to having my house cleaned, consistency is a top consideration and The Maids of Everett has this dialed in. I hired The Maids after having service from another provider be hit-​or-​miss. Each month, I am pleasantly reminded that I made the right move by hiring The Maids. The team that shows up is always prompt, friendly, accommodating, thorough and did I mention consistent? I highly recommend The Maids of Everett!
