FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Esimates for starting prices can be found on my Thumbtack profile, however I can work with most any budget by tailoring a cleaning plan that you are comfortable with. For clients interested in standard cleanings, I can accommodate a one-time cleaning or regularly scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cleanings. At times clients have chosen to rotate different areas of their homes to obtain a customized service that works for their cleaning needs and their budget. My fees for standard cleanings are typically calculated using a formula based on a variety of factors. In addition to the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, common areas, quotes also take into consideration the current state of the home. This means there is not an hourly charge, but instead a pre-determined “per job” fee. This allows for a consistent quality of work without any unexpected expenses for you at the end of your cleaning service. I also offer deep cleanings on a one-time basis or several times a year, depending on your needs. Starting prices for deep cleanings are also listed on Thumbtack and follow the same process as standard cleanings.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After the initial contact on Thumbtack, I will promptly schedule a convenient time to come to your home and meet your family, including any fur babies. I like to spend a short amount of time talking and getting acquainted. I will have a checklist available of what tasks you can expect to be completed, listed room by room. Following our discussion, we can tour your home and review your specific needs. Before completing our first meeting, we will tailor a cleaning plan that can meet your financial needs and schedule your cleaning service. I will email you a final quote within 1 day of our meeting.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors degree in social work from Siena College, and I’m a mother of 3 children. I am currently working on my MA in Social Work. I have worked as a residential cleaner for the past four years. My personality lends itself to this type of work, as I am the quintessential type “A” personality who is always striving for perfection.
