I'd never had a cleaning service before, but found that I just couldn't keep up my place: 2 1/2 baths, 2 bedrooms, etc. The Merry Maids office is closeby, so I stopped in there. They office person scheduled an estimate for the next day.
I had an estimator come out as promised. She finished in less than 15 minutes and set me up for the first cleaning the very next.
When I teturned from work, the place was clean. In fact, the estimator was there checking it out to make sure the work was done properly. The price is higher than a some cleaners, but Merry Maids' employees are bonded and insured. Plus, the estimator told me, that all employees are drug-tested and background checked. You pay what for what you get. If you want cheap, this isn't the place, but if you want your house cleaned by people you can trust, this is the place.
Pros: Good cleaning job, well priced for what you get
Cons: Can't schedule exact times, except first thing in the AM
