Pros: Non-traditional hours, friendly and detailed customer service, Cleaning supervisor is very specific about crew getting things right.
Cons: On the pricy side
Sunday of last week (9/14/14) I called Favoring Domestics because I saw a good deal on Groupon and I wanted to know what it covered because the ad was kind of generic. A nice bubbly lady answered the phone which surprised me because it was Sunday afternoon and I was only expecting to leave a message! I asked what deal covered and she told me that it covered the $200 and I would pay the difference if it was over that. S., I'll call her, asked me questions about what I wanted like how many rooms I wanted cleaned, if I had service before, and about extra services like windows and cleaning out my oven. I seriously did not even know cleaning companies did that so I replied, "sign me up for it all and give me a total!". She gave me that quote and I took a step back! I decided that I didn't need windows and I wasn't expecting all 3 bathrooms cleaned. I settled on a deep cleaning with an oven cleaning added which cost about $330 which I was happy about once she explained what all they covered like the disinfecting the light switches and door knobs, cleaning the ceiling fans and wiping the wood moldings.
I was told that to book my cleaning I had to pay upfront and I didn't mind doing so because she assured me that a contract was going to be sent to me that assured my scheduled time and promised they would be there. From there, everything went as she said it would with not one hiccup.
The crew arrived early and had me walk them through the house. The supervisor went over the paperwork with me while the rest started bringing in things from the car. They really seemed to work fluidly together. After I signed, I was thanked and told to relax.
They started upstairs and worked there way on down. There was minimal chatter, no bantering or arguing just good ol' fashion work. Now, one time I did hear that someone wasn't doing something right and the supervisor called for them to correct it. She literally went into my kitchen and swept her finger across my cabinet and told them to clean it again as it was not properly done.
As they were about to leave the supervisor handed me a bright red and gold card and THANKED ME for allowing them to assist me. I was floored! I looked around my kitchen as it shined bright and I said, "No, thank you. Yall did such a wonderful job". She reminded me that if I was not happy with the cleaning I had 24 hours to let the office know and they would send a crew out to fix it.
In that card I found a note thanking me again and coupons. After more than 24 hours I still have not found 1 issue and used a coupon to schedule biweekly service. My experience with Favoring Domestics was positive and although the cost was more than what I initially intended it was truly worth every dime. Their cleaning style was superb, the crew was genuinely nice and upbeat plu I got a discount for scheduling routine cleanings so my house will stay sparkly. My absolute favorite aspect of this company is that you can tell that they really care about what they do and the customers experience and I will take that any day over a cheap quick clean.
