The crew did an amazing job!! I have never had a cleaning company do such a good job! They handled my dogs (and all their hair) so well. They asked me about the parts of my house that I care about most, what products I would like used on surfaces, and left me feeling like they cared about my home. When they left I…
The Above the Mess team came in and did a fantastic deep clean in a house that was empty and getting ready for sale. Communication was great, pricing was reasonable especially given the included services, they were able to schedule very fast for me and ultimately did a great job. If you are looking for a cleaning…
Work travel kept me from keeping up with cleaning, and I needed help catching up, especially with dust. After speaking with Kortnee and answering a few questions, we decided on an initial deep clean followed by monthly service. Communication was quick and straightforward, and I was able to schedule the first…
Hired ATM for a move-out deep clean and they did a beautiful job! Even got the stubborn water spots off our shower door that have been there the last 4+ years. Friendly staff, on time, and communicative!
The team was amazing to work with! Very communicative the entire process on price and services. And also gave updates during the clean and made sure to prioritize what I wanted to stay within budget. I was also sent before and after pictures to see just how big of a change was made. Will for sure be using Above the Mess in the future!
Kailee and the team at Above the Mess are the company you want to hire if you are looking for an organized, detail-oriented, thorough, and punctual cleaning service. From estimate to payment, they made it easy to handle. I haven't even mentioned the fact that their pricing is very reasonable. We had our commercial…
Kortnee and her team are exceptional! I had them in to do a deep clean on my house! Every surface was wiped down, all trim around doors, stair rails everything cleaned!! The team left the house smelling so fresh and clean! I was so impressed I signed up for monthly cleaning services! I will be using them this…
We had Above the Mess out for our first deep clean last week. The crew were friendly and did a wonderful job! Communication with the owner and office manager has been straightforward and we knew exactly what to expect. I look forward to continuing to work them and am hopeful this great service will continue!
We had a deep clean done with a set max time due to budget reasons. They got through 90% of the cleaning within the timeframe requested. We were very satisfied with the result.
Katie and her team did an extraordinary deep clean. The mini-blinds have never been so free of dust. Every source of disarray was addressed. How refreshing!
I had the crew at my house today they were fantastic. They were polite, friendly, on time and worked really hard. My house has never been cleaner. I highly recommend them. Give them a try you will not be disappointed.
My First Experience With A Cleaning Service & This One Knocked My Socks Off. Called Kortnee The Owner Yesterday Had An Extensive Cleaning Today With Tyler Ashley & Emerson. What A Phenomenal Crew. This Company Is A 10 Star Company With Trustworthy, Experienced, Friendly Service And At A Great Price. Don’t Trust Your…
After being referred by a friend, we chose to have Above the Mess come out and clean our house. From start to finish, Beth, Katie, and Maria were beyond friendly and professional, but made sure the place was SUPER CLEAN, before leaving. The house hadn’t had a deep cleaning in more than two years, but looked, felt…
I’ve never used a cleaning company before, but work has gotten much busier for me and I needed some help. I called and Korynee was very nice and helpful. She was able to give me an estimate and explain the process. The day of my cleaning, Kortnee kept in contact with me regarding their arrival time. Beth and Ashley…
Have used Above the Mess for months now. They are professional and communicate well with scheduling. Beth is the team lead - always leaves notes and reminder cards for the next cleaning. They do a great job - nothin better than getting home from work and not having to clean! They are essential to my work life balance.
I recently purchased a home that was fairly neglected by it's former owner, it had about a decade of residue from smoking, pet hair, and general grime throughout. Above the Mess was able to efficiently and effectively take care of all of it, paying attention to the details and not stopping until each room was truly…
They were very friendly and professional. She went over the costs with me before starting and did an excellent job. The house is so clean! They are awesome!
Didn't realize how much TLC my house really needed until they did the initial deep clean! I have continued to use them on a regular basis. They are a very well organized team, who gets the job done in a timely manner. With each visit, special instructions are verified before the cleaning begins and what was…
Extremely impressed with the service and the customer service skills. Not only was the cleaning done to perfection the crew was an absolute joy to be around. They do great work and keep it very fun.
Kudo's to Emily, Katie and Beth!! For what was an extremely difficult day for Mom, they rose to the occasion not leaving one stone unturned!! Everything was beyond my expectations. Mom said it hasn't looked as good since the day she moved in. We've both been struggling over the past few years with mobility issues.…
Arrived when they said they would. Kept me updated as they progressed. Took a bit longer than expected but house was very clean for my spouse when coming home from the hospital. Would like to use on a more regular basis.
Great staff! Great quality. Friendly and on time.
This business and the team sent were awesome. I needed help getting my house back in shape for the holidays, mission accomplished. So impressed I'm going to have them come in a regular basis! Highly recommend.
Above the Mess Cleaning has done a fantastic job of cleaning my house. They did a deep cleaning & carpeting cleaning, taking attention to detail in every way. They're very professional & thorough. I highly recommend them.
Tyler and his crew came out to my house multiple times in order to help us keep the house in pristine condition when we went to sell. They first came out to do a deep clean and get the house in tip-top shape prior to photos. Afterwards, the team came out again 3 weeks later for a tidy-up to keep the house in perfect…
It was great working with Kortnee, Tyler and Selena and will do so again.
Above The Mess cleaning did an AMAZING job cleaning our house to get it ready to sell! We asked them if they could come a few days earlier since we unexpectedly needed to list our house for sale sooner than we thought. They said it was no problem and made it happen! The three ladies that came were super friendly and…
They clean our house weekly, are always on-time and do an excellent job. Easy to adjust times and frequency as needed. We also used them for moving into our new home for a complete house clean and to clean our windows. I highly recommend them.
Amazing, timely, great communication! So many wonderful things! We had a full house move out clean for a 4 bed 2.5 bath with furniture still in, Tyler and Beth only took 4 hours and our home looks brand new. It's literally sparkling. 10/10 recommend.
Emily and her team were fantastic. They found dirt and dust in places that I would never have thought to look! I have never seen such a hard working thorough group of young women. This company should be proud of their employees. They were personable and willing to answer all questions posed to them. My house looks…
The group was on time, professional, and did a fantastic deep clean of my entire home. They worked quickly and went above my expectations for cleanliness. I have hired them for bi-weekly cleanings and am so glad I did! I highly recommend!
Hired for a move out cleaning. Did an excellent job and our place looked so clean!!
I have to say this company is top notch and have MORE than exceeded my expectations. My elderly parents use them regularly and I was always so nervous about them having "strangers" in their home. But they were constantly raving about them and told me they were such extremely hard workers. My mom said they would…
Just had a deep cleaning done on my town home, girls were super nice! I appreciate them being on time and working efficiently. We will definitely have them back!!
I keep up with the daily/weekly cleaning of my home but can't always get to everything with our busy schedules. I decided to hire Above the Mess for a 1 time deep clean and I'm really really glad I chose them. Kortnee made the process super easy and had a 3 person crew at my home within a few days. The crew was…
I am extremely satisfied with all of the service! They are very courteous and respectful of my elderly parents. I would highly recommend Above the Mess!
I couldn’t say enough nice things about this company. We use them weekly and the staff is so friendly and caring. They do such an amazing job cleaning our house and the owner is the best to work with. We will be using them for years to come and definitely recommend them!!
Very professional and did a fantastic job- extremely thorough! Can’t wait until they come again!
We've used mini cleaning services before this, and may I say I seen cleaning techniques that I have never seen before, there were cheerful, pleasant and polite. I Frank Antonio Cunningham lll stand behind the comment above
Absolutely amazing work! We are moving into a new house and it desperately needed a deep clean before we move in. I knew the house was dirty but I had no idea HOW dirty it was until I saw how clean Above The Mess got it. Wow! So happy to get to move into a house that looks brand new! Thank you all!
