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…
I moved into a different home. The staff was very efficient. Emily was the lead cleaner. She talked to me and listened to my concerns. I asked Emily to let me know if she or her staff (Jade and Hope) noticed anything that I should be aware of, to please let me know. They found three possible issues. Emily gave me…
The team did an excellent job- they were efficient, detailed-orientated, and respectful of our home
Had a large room that I rented cleaned and carpet shampooed. Was very happy with their communication, service and quality of work.
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…
Great staff! Great quality. Friendly and on time.
Above the Mess was amazing to work with. They are very thorough and take the time to make sure that you are getting what you want from their services. They deep cleaned our house before moving in and we truly got our money's worth from their attention to detail and careful care. I would absolutely recommend.
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.
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…
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!!
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!
