N&K Cleaning Service? And does "Home Advisor" have any credibility?

any recommendations would be appreciated

I hired and fired Molly Maids. The first visit cost me $140. ($50 coupon already deducted) and thereafter it was $110. Two girls arrived and cleaned the first time for 2 1/2 hours and the house sparkled. Everything was done. After that it was hit and miss. They never stayed longer than 2 hours ($55. an hour, hmmmm) and the last time they were in and out in 1 1/2 hours. Although my house is always clean, like most of us, I want my bathrooms scrubbed and furniture polished, etc., etc., etc. All of the before mentioned cannot conceivably be done properly in that timeframe. I now have an appointment scheduled with The Right Girls Cleaning service and I'll see how it goes. BTW they only charge $85. and also bring their own supplies and cleaning products.

Saw a post quoting $85.00 for Right Girls Cleaning. Yet, facebook page review had a price of $65.00- for "ceiling to floor professional " cleaning. Should i expect to negotiate price?

Reviews were positive

The price might depend on the house.

When it comes to cleaning services one thing is always true. They are hired to be fired. Don't expect too much from any cleaning service if you're the type of person that expects them to do it the way you would do it.

As a followup, my wife returned home a couple hours ago and was extremely pleased with how the house was cleaned which means I get to live another day.... I do believe we now have a person to clean the house on a semi regular basis....lol. Thanks Judy.

Welcome Jomar. Happy wife happy life they say.

I tried to "surprise" my wife and demonstrate how thoughtful I was all at the same time. I secretly scheduled a "first cleaning" as a way to gauge a local company and give her some help with the chores.

In a moment of weakness I told her of the surprise about a week ahead of the date... ooooooops! She got very angry with me because "I can't have anyone see the house this dirty and now I am going to have to spend the next week cleaning before they get here."

After 968 years (husband years) of marriage I still don't have wife speak figured out.
