Best Electrical Home in Phoenix AZ
This is specifically for a move-in cleaning. Do not try to book Queen of Maids for a move-in cleaning unless in the midst of trying to move you also have time to take a complete photo inventory of your new house. Make sure they are “actual” photos, whatever that means. Initially I was very happy to find a service with good reviews that I could book online on a Sunday. I didn’t even bother to cost compare - I just wanted it done. I had just purchased a house and wanted it cleaned before my son moved in. We were trying to get everything done while both working full time so I was happy to take care of something over the weekend. I was also happy I could book it for Tuesday, the same day I already needed to be at the house for the installation of a new microwave. I answered their questions honestly and the house fell into the category of needing a “deep clean” because it was a move-in cleaning and regular cleaning had not been done for awhile (the previous owner had passed away and house hadn’t been lived in for awhile). Queen of Maids later requested pictures since my house required a deep clean. I understand that they didn’t want to be surprised with a nightmare of a house. I wasn’t living there and my son and I both had to work on Monday, so I sent photos from the real estate listing, which still accurately reflected the condition of the house. The sellers obviously did some cleaning before taking pictures for the sale and the house didn’t look bad. Queen of Maids contacted me and said they needed “actual” pictures. I explained that I had sent actual pictures and I did not have time that day to go to the house to take new pictures. Since the previous owner had passed away and no one had lived there for awhile, if I had driven over to the house and taken new pictures, they would have looked the same (with some furniture removed - since this is my son’s first home outside of mine, we also purchased some furniture from the sellers, and about half of the furniture from the pictures is still in the house). The house had been closed up so there was not dust buildup. The seller did not leave a pigsty or fill the house with piles of hoarded material between the time the listing went up and I closed the sale (about one month - it was only listed for a few days). Nor were cobwebs hanging from the ceilings like a haunted house. I explained the previous owner had been elderly and unable to keep the house as well as it could have been but the house was not in bad condition. I wanted the inside of cabinets and drawers cleaned, fingerprints (from oil on one’s body) cleaned off of doors and trim, baseboards and floors washed — you know, a move-in cleaning. They refused to come without “actual” pictures. They wanted to see the house empty (it’s not empty and I’m not going to empty it). They said it looked like it would after cleaning. No matter what I said, they would not believe the pictures reflected the condition of the house, so I told them to cancel the appointment. Fortunately I was able to make an appointment with clean. for the same day for $100 less without a hassle - no pictures required, “actual” or otherwise.
