RESIDENTIAL CLEANING SERVICE in ORLANDO & CHARLESTON

 

If you need residential maid service, and you are considering different maid service please consider You’ve Got MAIDS.  You’ve Got MAIDS puts the Customer in the spotlight.  It’s all about you. 

Whether you call for a Free Over-The-Phone Estimate or if you desire a complimentary in home consultation, You’ve Got MAIDS is right for you.  If our service is not a benefit to you, we will tell you just that. 

You want a clean home.  We are really good at cleaning homes.  All our cleaning technicians need to pass a rigorous course load before they can clean homes.  Bathrooms 101, Kitchens 101, Dusting 101, Vacuuming 101 & Wowing the Customer 201 are all required courses.

You want to be safe.  You don’t want to hire just anyone off the street or Craigslist.  You want background checks.  You want liability insurance.  You want bonding.  You want workers compensation insurance to protect you from your maids. We have all of that.

You want your maids to show up.  We show up.  The day before you will get a courtesy call alerting you to our house cleaner’s time of arrival.  You can count on our professional office to say what we are going to do, and then do what we said.

Finally you want a fair price.  You don’t want to pay too much; you don’t want to pay too little either.  We all know that you normally get what you pay for and the low cost maid solutions available today are forecasting what you can expect from them when they give you a low price.  Price matters to us.  We want the compensation to be fair to you, our cleaning techs, and our company.  If any one of these three suffers it is a bad deal for everyone.

CALL NOW for an over the phone consultation.  It should only take 7-10 minutes; longer if you want to get into all the finer details of cleaning your home.

ORLANDO MAID SERVICE REVIEW

This post is one of a series devoted to MAID SERVICE REVIEW in Orlando, Florida. – Ed.

Frank - 

The house looked pretty good. Hopefully it is satisfactory for the landlord. I was interested in seeing what kind of rates you had for a regularly scheduled cleaning. I’ve moved into a small apt. downtown. 750sq ft 1 bedroom 1 bath carpet and tile. Think a monthly or bimonthly clean would be sufficient. Let me know when you get a chance. Thanks.

 

Jason P

Jason needed move out housecleaning for his condo in the 32839 zip code of Orlando, Florida so he looked in the Yellow Pages under maid service.  Jason was so pleased with the maids at You’ve Got MAIDS that he has asked us to clean his new downtown Orlando condo in the 32801 zip code on a regular housecleaning schedule.

Please tell me about your maids and the cleaning service.

 

Each maid has gone through our comprehensive You’ve Got MAIDS University and background check. Many of our maids have spent years at high end hotels, cleaning 17 rooms per day! At You’ve Got MAIDS we typically work in teams of 2 or 3. The maids arrive in company cars, and wear casual, professional, uniforms. The senior maid is also referred to as the Team Leader. She is the on-site supervisor, and responsible for the entire job.

At the time of the estimate, careful notes are taken in regards to the cleaning service for your home. A work order is prepared and entered into our system. On the morning of your scheduled service, the office manager goes over the work order with the Team Leader. The maids are capable professionals, and efficient in getting the job done. Feel free to personally direct the Team Leader, if you prefer. The office staff is happy to amend your work order.

Our New Bookstore is the Library

 

 

 


Our new bookstore is the library,” Debbie said. “It’s great. They have almost anything I want. And if they don’t have it, all I have to do is ask, and they’ll order it for me.”

I love the public library, but the conversation with our hostess made me realize that I’ve done a poor job of using it since I started working from home. It’s only about a 30-minute walk from our house (and a five-minute drive), but for some reason, I used it more when I was driving to work. I’ve become lazy. I should go visit it next week and remind myself that I, too, have access to a “bookstore” where everything is free.

Read the entire article at getrichslowly.org.

Debbie makes a great point, but if you absolutely, positively need to keep the book consider half.com.  You can’t get new releases, but you can get older books in new condition for a couple bucks.

Another way to possibly get rich slowly is to own your own business.  You’ve Got MAIDS is authorized to support franchisee’s in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, West Virginia, & Wyoming.  If you are seeking to join a house cleaning franchise and your state is not listed, please contact us anyway;  we will let you know when we are scheduled to roll out our franchise in your state.  You’ve Got MAIDS, America’s Finest Maid Service™!

Luxury providers in game of survival

Luxury providers in game of survival

The Post and Courier
Thursday, October 9, 2008

Viridian Day Spa in Mount Pleasant sent out an e-mail to clients Tuesday morning with the subject line “Sad News from Viridian.”

In it, owner and founder Laura Kennedy revealed that the spa would close Oct. 26.

The reason: “The economy has taken its toll on many new businesses recently and we are no exception,” she wrote. Kennedy, who declined to be interviewed, went on to say the country’s recent economic woes “have magnified the impact on Viridian and, undoubtedly, will continue to impact discretionary services like spa visits.”

Perhaps better termed luxury goods, discretionary services face a game of survival whenever their customers begin to tighten the budget strings. These past few weeks alone, some of them have met their match.

Frank Berger, chief executive officer and founder of You’ve Got Maids, said he considers himself fortunate that his numbers have been steady for franchises in both Charleston and in Orlando, Fla. But he did notice a trend among the spreading economic fallout.

“We’ve seen a disproportionate number of formerly independent maids coming to us looking for a job,” he said.

Berger said customers who choose independent cleaners tend to have less disposable income. If you want insured, background-checked, drug-tested service, you have to pay more, he said.

Dr. William Terranova at The Center for Plastic Surgery in Charleston has heard of as much as a 25 percent drop throughout his industry over the past several months.

The impact on individual practices, Terranova said, largely depends on whether patients’ surgeries are medically necessary or cosmetic. He’s not sure how much the economic downturn has affected his business but said 95 percent of his patients would fall into the latter category.

“What I’ve seen is it’s not people canceling surgery,” Terranova said. “They don’t come in to consider it.”

He said people today are weighing any discretionary purchases against the security of having that money stashed away.

“Some of my general surgery colleagues have patients with hernias who put off getting their hernias fixed,” Terranova said.

Local spa consultant Christina Robertson cautions that the downturn hasn’t taken every business with it. Some spas, she said, are in higher demand than ever.

“Some businesses have even had a slight increase,” she said. “They have clients who are stressed out.”

WOULD MARK TWAIN HIRE A MAID SERVICE?

SAMUEL CLEMENS wrote, “Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.”

Clearly Mark Twain saw the value in hiring a professional maid service like You’ve Got MAIDS to relieve him of his procrastination guilt. Think about all Mark Twain accomplished by delegating his mind numbing household cleaning chores to someone else… he broke bread with the likes of Harriet Beecher Stowe & Charles Dickens, and wrote volumes of fiction, non-fiction, short stories and essays.

No doubt, Mark Twain could not have been such a prodigious writer if he also had to do the dirty work. How about you? Isn’t there something you would rather be doing?

At You’ve Got MAIDS® we believe…
Motivated and well trained maid associates can create loyal Customers by exceeding the expectations of the people that we serve through superior service and a clean, professional image.
