Home cleaning service

HireAMaid is an excellent cleaning company. The ladies were very professional and friendly while at my home. They are very thorough at cleaning our home and always met my expectations. The company was also accommodating if the day or time needed to be changed. I thought that was amazing. I would definitely recommend HireAMaid to others.

House cleaning

Every part of my experience with Hire A Maid was professional and courteous. Ashley went out of her way to accommodate my requests when booking the services and the two ladies who came to clean were excellent. They got started to work right away....and were so kind and friendly when I had a question. They did an amazing job. I would confidently recommend Hire A Maid to my friends....

Thank you for your excellent rating of our work Casey. I still recall our initial in-home consultation - specifically, your sharing with me how important it was that the company you hired would get into the corners (the reason for your switching cleaning companies). I am so happy that almost 4 years later, we continue to meet your needs. We look forward to many more years of service to you and your family. Carol

Well worth the money!

All of the cleaners from Hire A Maid are great! They show up on time, do a very thorough job, and the house looks (and smells) great when I come home! Little extra touches (i.e. folded toilet paper, towel art, etc.) always make their visits extra special. Not to mention, I haven't bought cleaning supplies in months!

Tammy, the office manager, is very professional and yet manages to make everything personalized. She was very accommodating whenever I needed to make adjustments to my cleaning schedule (i.e. moving the cleaning closer to a party date or coming earlier to coincide with surgery so I could come home to rest in a clean, quiet house). Thank you!!

Old House Clean

I needed my parents house to be cleaned out before we listed it for sale. The house was tired and dirty. It took two days and a lot of elbow grease but holy sh**, what an incredible job they did. 3 1/2 floors, 1- 4 pc, 1- 3 pc & 2- 2 pc bathrooms look new. Kitchen & appliances look incredible. Very professional service with lots of contact from Carol, the owner. I will definitely use them again should the need arise.

Thank you for your excellent review of our home staging cleaning! Making a home look its best with a deep cleaning of all areas helps prospective home buyers envision themselves living there. It also lets buyers feel the home has been well cared for. We were pleased to perform this very important cleaning for you. Seeing the transformation was very rewarding for everyone involved. Thank you also for updating me that the home sold fast and for an excellent price!! This is wonderful! We wish you and your parents the best! Carol Smith, Owner

Great Post-Reno & Regular Cleaning

Hire a Maid has been doing our regular house cleaning for a number of years, but we weren't aware that they did post-reno cleaning, too, until it became absolutely necessary. We recently went through a reno that took longer than planned (which was expected) and resulted in a layer of dust covering rooms (and almost everything in them) on almost every floor of our house (which was not expected. Dust even managed to get into things we'd carefully wrapped in plastic.). The prospect of cleaning it was overwhelming.

After weeks of disruption the work was finally done and we were able to get Hire a Maid in for a super-thorough cleaning. Not having had them do this kind of job for us before, we did not anticipate just how thorough they would be. It was so hard to picture what our house would look like clean again, so we weren't expecting every crystal on every light fixture to have been polished, paint splashes eradicated entirely, and not a speck of dust to be found. But that is exactly what we came home to. Hire a Maid also cleaned inside the fridge and inside drawers and cabinets so that they looked almost the same as they did when they were first installed. The list of what had to be done was just so long it was hard to believe they could have been so thorough in just one day.

We recommend Hire a Maid for routine cleaning all the time, but now we can recommend them for post-reno, too. We'd been so overwhelmed trying to figure out how to tackle it all and they just picked up that worry and removed it for us. And for a price that was just slightly more than half of what we had paid a different company for a previous post-reno clean. Even at a higher price we would consider it money well spent.

Hi Suzanne and Brad, thank you for your wonderful review of our post-renovation and regular maintenance services! We have done thousands of deep cleanings since 2008 and last year expanded to include post-renovation cleanings. We were especially happy to be in a position to provide your home this specialized cleaning -- it has been a great pleasure having you as a regular client, and I know firsthand how stressful it is dealing with post-reno dust. You are absolutely right that our cost is lower than the competition offering comparable meticulous quality post-renovation cleanings. Our cleaning teams are trained to work systematically in a highly organized manner, and the benefit of this efficiency and time savings is passed along to our clients through lower pricing. If you’ve been home while our staff clean, you’ve also seen that they are very hardworking, don’t waste any time and go the extra mile to provide an excellent quality cleaning. We look forward to many more years of serving you! Thanks again :-) Carol

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 100,000 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.

• Hire A Maid believes in giving back to the community and since 2008, has donated over $20,000 in cleanings to people undergoing cancer treatment to help them focus on their recovery while we take care of their home cleaning.
