Top-Shelf Cleaning Service!

Having been a client of theirs for over four years, we sincerely recommend HireaMaid as an outstanding cleaning service provider in Durham Region. Due to unexpected surgery in 2014, we were unable to maintain the cleaning of our large home. Although Hubby tried valiantly to keep up with my (our) high standards of cleanliness while I was recovering, it wasn’t long before he agreed to hire professional cleaners.
Four years later, we have no plans to discontinue our cleaning service arrangement with HireaMaid; they consistently meet and exceed our expectations. There are so many benefits associated with using a cleaning service such as HireaMaid; not the least of which is more time to do things we want to do with family and friends rather than spending entire days of precious weekends cleaning our home!
For a very reasonable price, HireaMaid provides peace of mind delivering quality cleaning and outstanding customer service. They customized our cleaning schedule needs to correspond with frequency of visits – as empty nesters, we switched from bi-weekly to monthly cleaning and find it very easy to maintain in between their comprehensive cleanings.
HireaMaid Durham employs extremely knowledgeable, friendly, trustworthy and dependable staff – from the front-line cleaning crew to the office employees. They are very accommodating when rescheduling services, send reminder email before cleaning day, and keep us posted if the team is running late.
Our HireaMaid cleaning crew includes an onsite hands-on Supervisor (thank you Jacqui) familiar with our home and cleaning expectations. They work alongside and oversee the crew to ensure consistency; and as a result of ongoing skills training at the company location and on-site in our home, deliver high-quality results. This week Jacqui and Kelly were training new recruits Sarah and Jamie – the thoroughness of the service provided was amazing! Thank you Ladies … I can’t emphasize enough how much you are appreciated – there is nothing quite like the look, smell, feel and freedom of a truly clean home after a long work day and before another weekend of entertaining!
We continue to recommend Hire a Maid Durham to our friends and family so don’t just take our word, give HireaMaid Durham a try—it is one of our best well-being and lifestyle investments yet …

Awesome cleaning service

We've been using Hire A Maid for over year and have been very happy. Great service from Ashley and Tracy in coordinating scheduled dates. The regular cleaners we have are awesome! They get everything done in great time and we love how they use natural products to clean since we have a dog.
Highly recommend this service!!

Extremely Satisfied

My father in law recommended Hire A Maid and we couldn't be happier! I have two dogs, a cat and two very young children with four very sticky hands and our cleaning team surprises me every time with how thorough and fast they are. Its such a treat to come home to a sparkling house. They are friendly and always on time, I receive email reminders and a receipt at the end of every cleaning. This is a very professional, well oiled cleaning team. Thank-you!

House Cleaning

I'm very pleased to recommend Hire a Maid of Whitby. They've been cleaning my home for the past 3 years or so and I can't say enough good things about the quality of cleaning and customer service that Ashley and her team provide.

They say the true test of professionalism is how a company handles a situation when something goes wrong. About a year ago, one of the ladies cleaning left a foot long scratch on my glass table. As soon as I called Ashley and team to report it, they came out, took ownership of the incident and worked to find a replacement glass top for the table. within a few weeks they found the replacement top, changed it and took the old one away.

The ladies who come to my house are always very polite and courteous.

Thanks Ashley and Team!

Regards,
Sean

Thank you Sean for your review. You've been an excellent client. We really appreciated your understanding when the scratch occurred. Our staff are careful, and we believe this was caused by the cleaning caddy which had a protruding piece of plastic not trimmed off properly in the manufacturing process. In 10 years and 70,000 cleanings, this has never happened before, and to ensure it never happens again, we now check for defects before buying cleaning caddies.

As a professional maid service, our clients choose us to have peace of mind that should an accident occur, we are insured and will take responsibility to make it right. Thank you for your recognition of our efforts -- it means a great deal! Carol Smith, Owner

house cleaning

I am so happy that I hired Hire a maid. I have a large home. Although I had tried to maintain it myself, I realized one morning that I had been extremely unsuccessful and my home was in serious need of professional cleaning. After exchanges of communication with a number of service providers with high homestars ratings, I chose Hire a Maid. I spoke with Tammy who was extremely helpful. On the scheduled day at exactly the scheduled time Kelly Marina and Remi showed up. They worked all day non-stop (except for a short lunch break).
My kitchen cabinets and counters look like new - (they are actually 22 years old). My bathrooms are sparkling. Although expensive, it was worth every penny. I will continue to use Hire a maid on a bi-weeky basis

$975.00

House cleaning

Hire A Maid just completed their first housecleaning service on my home, and I was so pleased!.....high attention to detail, and amazing customer service (extra points for the supervisor dashing over to help calm down my dog who was a bit anxious with the new visitors). I was super impressed with their willingness to accommodate my schedule and preferences, and my home was in terrific shape. I highly recommend!

Our History:
Hire A Maid was founded in 2008 by Carol Dinn in Whitby, Ontario. Since its inception, Hire A Maid has performed more than 80,000 house cleanings and thousands of deep cleanings. Prior to creating Hire A Maid, Carol held the position of Director, Fixed Term Investment Products for CIBC and before this, she managed heating and cooling services and plans for Enbridge Home Services.

Carol’s 10-plus years of experience managing and launching successful products for large corporations and her own experience as a user of house cleaning services before founding Hire A Maid have given her company a leg up in the cleaning industry. Her extensive experience in managing and motivating staff, her highly organized approach and her customer service orientation have proven to be key ingredients in Hire A Maid's rapid success.

Carol is passionate about house cleaning and the difference her staff make in their clients' lives. "We're not just cleaning homes; we're freeing our clients of the countless hours spent on housework (or stressing about it!). It gives our clients more time to enjoy with family, friends or simply relaxing. And, it gives us a wonderful feeling of satisfaction knowing that we can make a big difference by giving our clients more time and less stress."

What differentiates Hire A Maid from other maid services is:

• A high level of professionalism. We’ve been told many times by clients that our office and cleaning staff are very professional. For many homeowners, entrusting their home to a house cleaner (someone they don’t know) is a big deal. At Hire A Maid, we want our clients to feel comfortable that they have chosen a company that is well-organized, customer service oriented and that will do its best to meet their needs and to protect their interests. Hire A Maid also has general liability insurance, pays into Workers’ Compensation Insurance and remits all government taxes. – Operating honestly and ethically is the foundation of our company.

• A focus on hiring and retaining excellent employees. All of our new employees undergo a comprehensive training program that is followed up with ongoing support to provide them the knowledge and skills to be effective at their jobs. We strive for high employee satisfaction and believe that this leads to a culture where our staff go the extra mile for our clients. Our excellent employee retention record also allows us to provide our clients with the consistency of having the same maids every visit.

• Performing “the details” on every cleaning truly is Hire A Maid’s specialty.

• We actively seek out your feedback and we guarantee our work. We want you to be absolutely satisfied with our work and we invite you to complete our quality feedback survey after every visit to tell us how we’re doing. If there is ever anything you want done differently to better ensure your satisfaction, please don’t hesitate to let us know! We value your feedback and will promptly address any concerns.
