    Such a fine service. K'Lynn and Lori were both professional and unfazed by the state our home was…read morein when they arrived. They got right to work and tirelessly helped clean out so much stuff that we wound up with a space so tidy and organized it feels like an entirely different home. We can actually find the things we own and our space is so transformed it was quite literally shocking. We had our pet pass the week before and we wanted all associated items donated to folks with a pet. And that's part of their wonderful service. Recyclable items are recycled. Donatable items are donated, they even get a receipt for the items to itemize on your taxes. We would heartily recommend their services to anyone stuck in place that no longer feels like home.

    This is the best money I've spent in a long time. Katelyn came out for a free assessment and I was…read moresold. Erin and Kelsey had the full day where we went through my hallway closet, kitchen, side cabinets and bathroom. They did such an amazing job helping me go through everything, donate and trash what I had to. They organize it all in the right spots and have options for bins and such (they aren't pushy on that, so it's totally your call what works for you). They worked so hard and I appreciated it. Day two I had Kelsey again and Hailey joined to help with my bedroom and closets. I have never felt so happy in my own home before! It is amazing how much space I have now that I only kept what I use and got it organized with help. I'd recommend this service to everyone if you can. The price was fair given the work and results.

    I hired Green Gloss Cleaners for a move-out job a year ago, and they did a great job in my 500…read moresquare foot space. A year later, I hired them again for two other move-out jobs. This one was about 1400 square feet. After 3.5 hours, they said they were finished. I did a walk through and found so many spots that were still dirty. I asked for those spots to be redone (there were quite a few), did another walkthrough, and ended up having to clean it again myself. Instead of offering to do a second walkthrough to make sure they didn't miss anything else, they just stood around waiting for me to point more stuff out once they thought they were finished with the spot I pointed out. For example, there were a bunch of facial hair shavings in a drawer that got missed. I asked if they could go back to clean it. They did and came back downstairs, so I went up and checked, and there were still hairs in it! So I ended up cleaning them out since I needed to get back to work quickly and didn't have time to find every last thing that didn't get cleaned in this house. As I've done a couple more walkthroughs, I've found things that need to be cleaned that are absolutely not excusable. If I'm paying $400 to have a space cleaned, part of that is for a cleaner to be able to see what needs to be cleaned and to take care of it. I canceled the third cleaning job and wouldn't recommend this company to anyone if you're counting on the space actually being clean. EDIT: I offered the option to come earlier in the day to avoid the heat or to use the air conditioner, and they chose not to do either of those. I did not receive any communication that the upstairs was too hot or that a fan was needed (which I could have provided). The cleaner said she wiped down all of the walls. The attached photo is of fingerprints left on a door.

    Great team! Excellent communication, flexible, reliable, and kind. Love that they use…read moreearth-friendly and non-toxic cleaning agents.

    I needed someone to pack up my apartment in my absence due to medical reasons for a move from pdx…read moreto Boulder, CO. I hired Cari for a second time because she was so hardworking and thorough 2 years ago when she organized my guest bedroom and storage area. She absolutely crushed it again, going above and beyond to get my stuff sorted by discard, donate or keep lists. She expertly disassembled bed frames, carefully packed up my fragile items (LOTS of them), and purchased boxes and other moving supplies before she began. Cari donated my chosen items to charity and discarded my rejects, and never appeared judgmental when I absolutely couldn't part with my mom's ancient Guardian Ware roasting pan set, despite my admission that I've never actually used it! She is experienced and understands how hard it is to part with some things, but also will respectfully help you decide if you ask her to. So my not being there wasn't a huge issue in the end, and I felt so relieved hiring Cari to take this on when I couldn't. Her prices are reasonable and she is worth every penny. She also happens to be a great human being, is super friendly, funny and smart! I'm hoping to hire her partner in Boulder to help me organize my new place after my things arrive. What a great coincidence for me that Cari expanded her business to Boulder with her business partner before I ever knew I'd be moving here! Thank you so much, Cari!

    We are sincerely grateful to Cari and her team for helping my mother in law.

My husband and I live on the opposite coast and were unable to be as hands on as we would have liked. Cari showed up and literally took care of EVERYTHING- selling furniture, disposing of things and organizing all the things that my MIL decided to keep. Plus my MIL really appreciated her kindness, energetic nature and enthusiasm for her craft. We are overjoyed to see my MIL so relieved and happy. I give Jane Does my highest recommendation!

    Truly concierge service. Literally, working with Coor Cohen and associates is having a "life…read moreconcierge" for anything and everything you could need. Anytime. Expectations ALWAYS exceeded with respect to timeliness of response, quality of work delivered, exquisite attention to detail, discretion, and most importantly the professionalism and just plain friendliness that my service requests are met with. As an Emergency Physician, my schedule is infinitely random (difficult to schedule around in an "every other Tuesday" or "every Saturday morning" kind of way) and during my workday/night/early hours of the morning the work is a labor of love but also all-consuming and often leaves me completely spent when I get home. Point being, short on time and energy when not at work, and I wanted to spend that time and energy with my wife and enjoying life, not navigating tele prompt menus over the telephone to arrange appointments and services or completing forms and filing paperwork. Even more, I needed to "supercharge" my day-to-day efficiency. (Ever find yourself wanting for a second 'you' to slash through red tape and tasks? This is your answer. Cloning is not yet all hammered-out and perfected, plus all the ethical issues... get a Personal Assistant!) It was actually my wife who found Badass PA of Portland and suggested I contract their service to, among other things but importantly, help me schedule time together, help me to plan surprise dates, getaways, adventures, etc. and to do this, helping me to manage my non-work schedule such as booking appointments, assisting with clerical tasks, running errands, finding other contractors to complete work at home... Coor's protection of and advocacy on behalf of her clients in dealing with difficult people is second to none. I plan to send her in to the dealership as my "negotiator" next time I need to buy a car- that good. Coor also scheduled an appointment WITH my wife to get to know who she is, what she likes, her dietary preferences and needs, dress size, clothing and jewelry sizes, fashion, restaurant, hotel preferences, preferred local boutiques, you name it- just so that she can help me behind the scenes in restoring myself as the romantic man-of-the-world she fell in love with and married! Badass PA of Portland is EXQUISITELY sensitive of privacy and protecting your identity, financial information, personal information, and will NEVER require any information from you that you are not comfortable sharing. That said, over time after earning my COMPLETE trust, I have entrusted them with pretty much all of the personal information I would not entrust to anyone other than my family, my bank, my realtor, my insurance company etc. and couldn't feel more resolutely confident in them. Most importantly, you might be thinking "that sounds like something that must be nice, if you're rich!" SO NOT TRUE! Check out their membership prices and rates. Buy yourself a basic membership with even 2 HOURS of service/month and you won't believe how much they can do for you in 2 hours total service time that month, most of which can be done remotely. CALL BADASS PA TODAY. You're obviously interested if you read this, and they are your new secret weapon. Love this service!

    We hired BAPA of Portland to help sort through and pack up our 2br apartment, on short notice…read more They were efficient and thoughtful (cataloging the boxes they packed), making suggestions when needed (most of which I followed!), and listening and checking in with our preferences and expectations. Coor and Nic cared a lot about doing a job they could be proud of *and* one that would meet our expectations. Coor not only oversaw and handled details beautifully, but also masterminded the project and made sure that the big picture went smoothly. It was a 2 day project, and we really appreciated that they took the time to tidy up the space at the end of each shift. I'd use their services again and recommend them to my colleagues (we're two busy professionals, and having this work "made easy" is a relief). Thanks, Coor and Team!
