How much do you charge?

We customize every in home estimate to fit YOUR needs. With almost 25 years of experience we know every home is unique and used in different ways. We offer 2 options for our clients. We know not every home is a one size fits all so we have a full system option OR we offer an hourly option where the client is in control not us. We believe you should be able to receive the type of cleaning that fits YOU not us.

We price your home based on many factors which include the size of your home, the frequency of service, pets, flooring types, clutter and how you’re using your home. For anyone interested in setting up regular service we highly recommend an in home estimate. One of the owners would come out free of charge to assess your home and explain our cleaning process as well as get a feel for how you’re using your home to be able to determine what is best for you.

Are your team members trained?

Every new team member go through an intensive 2 week training program. Each morning prior to going out in the field the trainee and one of the owners reviews one on one the upcoming day and our cleaning procedures. During that 2 weeks they are out in the field with a training captain each day learning how we clean and proper procedures. They are never released out of training until the training captain and owner sign them off with a perfect score 2 consecutive days to ensure they are prepared to enter the field as an equal team mate.

What areas do you service?

We have owned and have been servicing the entire peninsula since 1995. Locations including: Toano, Williamsburg, York County/Poquoson, Newport News, Hampton, LAFB, Smithfield, Hayes.

Do you clean windows?

I have pets, can you still clean?
