The cleaners did a excellent job but the owner was pushy. At the end they said I went a 1/2 hour over my scheduled 3 hour cleaning which was a bold face lie. From the start they tried to get more money out of me and I was already paying $405.00 for a deep cleaning. I loved the work but would not use them again. They must have asked at least 8 times- are you going to add a tip to the credit card- and only take credit card but just 3% for using your credit card. read more

This is my first time using a cleaning service. I have to say, I'm so glad I did! I had one cleaner to do a "deep cleaning" and she was excellent! Although she was there for the entire day, she arrived on time and only stopped for 20 minutes to eat lunch. She wiped down all the woodworks, cleaned the inside and outside of my oven along with the rest of the kitchen, cleaned the bathroom the hallway and down the steps She cleaned each and every spoke on the bannister! She did not use a mop. She got down other hand and knees and cleaned my hardwood floors. I will definitely use them on a monthly basis and if I hit the lottery, it will be on a bi-weekly basis! read more

NO STARS! Executive Maids, at the last hour, changed my first time cleaning to be 4 people instead of 2, which doubled the cost. I tried to cancel and they said it was too short of notice. They broke a family heirloom during their cleaning and they COULDN'T HAVE CARED LESS. They were SO rude and unprofessional, claiming that it happens all the time, and that the company would pay for it to be replaced. It isn't replacable! They moved all the furniture to clean, which is great, but then didn't put ANY of the furniture back! They stained my white toilet seat somehow and now there are brown marks all over it, which obviously makes it look permanently dirty. What in the world?? My house is 700 square feet; only two small floors, two bedrooms, one bath, a kitchen, dining area, and living room. That is only 6 rooms. Closets, windows, laundry, basement, and inside appliances weren't included. They didn't even make the bed when I had the clean sheets folded on top of it. THEY CHARGED ME $250!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!?!?! WHAT!!!! Think about that. Seriously. They offered to have their repairman fix the clock they broke. Do you REALLY think I'm going to let them or anyone they are associated with touch my belongings, let alone come into my home?!!? I asked for a refund and they refused. I asked to speak to the owner and they declined. SO UNPROFESSIONAL! I found the owner on linkedin and emailed her. No response! disgusting business! Extremely shady as well. If I were the owner of a company and this incident was brought to my attention, I would do EVERYTHING in my power to remedy the situation. It's disgusting how they are managing their business. I am beyond disappointed with this experience. You can't break a family heirloom and be "ok" with it. That's a disgrace. When I brought these issues up with the maids before they left my house, they all agreed with me that their services weren't worth $250 and that I was totally ripped off. I don't know what I expect out of all of this, other than maybe sparing a few people from making the same mistake I did. DO NOT USE EXECUTIVE MAIDS and please spread the word. Oh, and if I'm lucky enough to have the owner actually read this complaint, I HOPE you have the audacity to contact me to discuss how your employees are treating your clients. Go ahead, I dare you! You're a disgrace! I also posted an article with the better business bureau because they need to be put out of business! read more

Executive Maids - The clock they broke - Home Cleaning Near Me - Cheltenham, Pennsylvania

See all

The lady originally said it was $200 for the service I requested. Then the day of the cleaning tried to finesse me for $600 for 3 hours of cleaning. I said I didn't want the cleaning then she said fine I'll just charge the $200. Then the day after the cleaning charged my account $400 without my consent. Highly not recommend!!!! read more

At this cleaning, we had Paige, for the first time. We showed her the house and she went to work, right away. Nothing was left undone!! Her attention to detail and her thoroughness was awesome!! We highly recommend Executive Maids!! read more

Executive Maids is expensive for the service they provide and not very careful. I moved out of my house, so there was no furniture in it. I thought this would mean that the cleaning ent quickly and the service estimated it would take 2 to 2 and half hours. The service bills by the hour, costing $120/hour for a 3 person crew. I was not present when they cleaned the house. They called to say that it would take 3 and a half hours to clean the empty house. Since I had an open house planned that weekend, I accepted the charge but I was, and an still mad, that they charged so much. I really have no idea why it would take so long to clean an empty house. Also, they (rather obviously) broke both a tile in my bathroom and globe on one of my ceiling lights. They also neglected to clean some of the shades. They did not bother to inform me about the things they broke and I only saw them when I went to the house. If I am going to be goughed on price, I would prefer that the service not break stuff. During the follow up call, I told the service about these preblems. They basically said that these things happen, but did not really do anything about it. I felt this was rather unprofessional I think this is a very expensive service and I absolutely do not recommend it as I strongly believe that they try to gough customers on preice if they can. read more

We've been using Executive Maids for 4 years now and I will honestly cry if I ever have to cancel house cleaning services.We're not the neatest people ever and our house tends toward the "lived in" look and I've always been happy with the quality of the cleanings and love coming home to a sparkling clean home. We've never had an unprofessional team or unpleasant experience. I know they usually charge a fee if you cancel last minute, but the day I went into labor with my 2nd they were happy to reschedule my cleaning last minute with no charge. (Sorry Janae, helping me breathe through a contraction while trying to figure out what I was attempting to tell you is probably NOT in your job description!) Another example of the above and beyond service they give: our team arrived to my home to a large leak in my upstairs bath. Thankfully, they caught it before my entire ceiling was destroyed (I don't even want to think about what I would have come home to had I not had a cleaning scheduled that day.) They cleaned up the leak at no charge, and since they couldn't reach me - had someone from their office come over and turn off the water in my bathroom so the leak wouldn't spread/continue. I teach and got a bit worried when I saw 4 missed calls from them on my cell phone on my break, but was very happy with how they handled the situation. Dawn has also donated a very nice package to our Soccer Club for us to raffle off for a fundraiser (it was a huge hit and there was a bidding war!) read more

Just recently switched to Executive Maids after our former cleaners proved unprofessional. I am so glad I switched because not only are they total pros when it comes to their behavior, they also do a far superior job all around. The teams are prompt, extraordinarily thorough, and very polite. I would definitely recommend their service to anyone, just as it was recommended to me. read more

Absolutely never use this service. They scheduled two cleanings in the last three weeks and both were no-shows. They actually sent a text and e-mail the day before my cleaning today with the name and time of the service and no one arrived. When I called, their mailbox was full and when I e-mailed they claimed they did not receive it. No phone reply because they said they were at a "cleaning conference." Not to mention the fact that I cancelled a doctor's appointment for this. read more

I've been using them since before Covid 19. Now they send one cleaner. I had Kayla this time. Since it was her first time at my house I went over everything. She was extremely professional and did an excellent job. When she was done she had me go through the house to make sure she didn't miss anything. I'm thrilled with the cleaning she did read more

I used their cleaning service in January 2019. It was my first time so this was a deep cleaning of the entire house minus the basement. I had 3 cleaners for 3.5 hours. I hired them because I was 9 months pregnant at that time and wanted to welcome new baby to a very clean home. The team arrived on time and was nice. I would say they did a fair job. There were certain areas that were overlooked, like i found a door mirror that had not been touched, window sills that hadn't been wiped down. And other nooks that still had dust. Areas that were reachable and visible, that I typically clean. They did a good job in the kitchen except I noticed the shelves in the door of the fridge has not been touched. I paid for extra time to have the walls cleaned and they looked the same. The young lady said that because of the type of paint she couldn't get them any cleaner, however, when they left I wiped down a couple of spotty areas and it was very easy to clean. And I didn't use any products just soapy water. They did take off $50 without me complaining about it. Overall, I feel they are overpriced for the quality of service you receive. I would say use them if you want a surface level clean that you don't have time to do yourself but don't expect anything to be immaculate. To be fair, I gave them 3 stars because I did not call and complain to give them an opportunity to fix it. I simply didn't have the time. read more

I'm a successful individual and have lived around the country - having used several cleaning services in the past without any problems. However, my first experience with this company was truly displeasing. The concern was about professionalism of which my experience with the company had told me they have very little. In short: I got the bait and switch. They performed tasks they were asked specifically not to do (for matters of time and money), they ignored tasks they were specifically instructed to perform, they complained to me and made inappropriate remarks in my presence, and to top it off one of them was on a personal phone call when I returned home to pay them (at which time, by the way, they are still clocked in on the job and charging me for.) These are only a handful of the problems I experienced over the hours I booked them for and not unexpectedly made me question the honesty and integrity of the company. To make matters worse, a polite call to voice my concerns to the office were not well received. My instinct was to believe that the woman on the other line was having a bad day and so I called back a few days later to ask again for an explanation as to why I was being charged for services that had not been performed (ones that were specifically requested) while at the same time paying for other services that I had in fact had asked them to specifically not perform. This time the woman on the line (a different individual) said she'd pass the message on. Shortly after, I received a highly charged email from the owner that sounded more like a legal disposition than an honest explanation of why things at my home had transpired as they did. In the email there appeared to be an attempt to mask the dishonesty and rude behavior that transpired and instead focused on the cost of service and why the bill totaled the amount that it did. I was particularly concerned that she - the owner - hadn't been informed about the true issue at hand, that is: why my specific requests for the cleaning had been ignored and why I was met with such unprofessional behavior (both by the cleaning staff and now the office staff re: first phone call.) In all honesty, I felt taken advantage of and ignored: first by being charged for tasks I did not approve and second by the office staff by continuing the displeasing behavior by shirking the blame and not offering an apology - which was literally all I was asking for. All I wanted them to do was take responsibility for their actions and apologize - which didn't happen. I can't understand how I - or how anyone for that matter - would deserve this kind of mistreatment but I will not use the service again. I can understand being overworked and tired, but walking in on a staff member making a personal call and having another employee complain and make a backhanded comment about my home when I'm paying for their services makes me wonder what I'm paying for because it certainly isn't professionalism. Bottom line: this place gave me the bait and switch and then threatened me with legal action if I didn't pay for the services they performed that I didn't agree to. It's 2010 - the days of dishonest business practices and discourteous/unprofessional service are over... You need to be kind and respectful to people and listen to their requests and concerns and honor them - not get angry and spiteful. I will not use this service again, nor would I recommend them to anyone under any circumstance. read more

Exec. Maids came to my home yesterday for the first time. Three beautiful ladies showed up & they were absolutely amazing. I cannot honestly think of anything negative to say. They did a phenomenal job. My home is spotless & smells great! I would highly recommend this company!! read more

This is update to my previous review. The manager of Executive Maids talked me into free cleaning. It means, to remove all disaster left by previous team. To be honest, I hesitated after my first experience.I was really difficult with her, but finally agreed. They sent me completely different team. And you know what? That team was fast, professional and extremely effective. They did excellent job, left me with sparkling kitchen and basement which never was in such state of brilliance. If i would get this team from the very beginning I would give this company 4 stars (-1 star because they are REALLY pricey). Now I am giving average: (0 stars for first experience +4 stars for second one)/2=2 stars. It is really pity that first team completely ruined my Thanksgiving mood. As to conclude: yes, they have really great teams which know their work. Ask for team of Claire (Clara?) and you will not regret. read more

Very Polite and Professional but the service itself is very basic. I've had better experiences. I'm still on the look out for the right maid service. read more

Very polite and a decent enough cleaning crew. But nothing spectacular for the massive amount they charged me. Easily double what my usual service charges for a slightly less impressive cleaning. read more

I have used Executive Maids for 6 years and they are trustworthy, reliable and do an excellent job cleaning my house. I highly recommend their services. read more

I have never used a cleaning service before contacting Executive Maids! My bathroom was recently remodeled and my home was covered in construction dust on the main floor as well as the bedroom area. Feeling overwhelmed by all of this work that I would have to do, I decided to contact Executive Maids! The team that came to my home were wonderful. They were polite and courteous and did an amazing job cleaning my home! They cleaned in areas where I haven't been able to get to for a while! When they were finished you would never have guessed that my bathroom had just been remodeled. The contractors were actually finishing up when the Maids arrived! There was not a speck of dust or dirt anywhere! They arrived on time and go over what areas are to be cleaned and get started right away! I have told my friends about it and how pleased I was with the work and hopefully they will contact them. I gave them a five star rating because they did the job and they did it right! Thankk you Executive Maids! Looking forward to having you back again! read more

I referred Executive Maids to a friend who needed some help ASAP with her disabled mother's house. They were great. they called my friend right away and were able to schedule an initial cleaning the next day. read more

Great service,was quoted on a 3 hour cleaning and the 3 woman were in and out in 2.5 hours.Would highly recommend executive maids for all your cleaning needs. read more

If i could give 0 star, i would. they are VERY expensive ($120 per hour for a 3-person team), and they canceled on me at the last minute. We had set up an appointment, agreeing with all their terms and having signed their long contract with them for a one-time trial, they suddenly called 25 minutes before the appointment time to cancel saying "we're not the right service for you, and we won't reschedule with you". They did not accept customer's suggestions and questions well. When i was reviewing their contract, I pointed out a place where it conflicted with what she had told me over the phone, but she tried to argue with me over and over. I suggested them to change the wordings to make it clear, but they were reluctant to change. I will NOT contact them ever again! read more

I've been using Executive Maids for a couple of years now, and I can say without reservation or hesitation that they're the absolute best. They're the first and only cleaning service I've ever used that I've never had to complain about or do detail work after, and on top of the superlative job they do they're also unfailingly pleasant and reliable. Their organization is remarkably professional, and has been from the very first. When I contacted them for a price quote they explained the way that their pricing works (they clean the house a few times to get a feel for how much cleaning needs to be done/time will be taken and then provide a final price going forward). Their pricing is extremely competitive, which in and of itself is a shock considering the great job that they do. They call the day before their scheduled visit to provide a half-hour window for their arrival, and on cleaning day they always let me know if something has come up to delay them or to ask if it's alright for them to arrive early. They also give me a heads-up call ten minutes before their arrival so that I can crate my dogs (my preference, not theirs). Once in my home they provide just the right combination of friendliness and diligence. Though there is a core team, there are occasional new faces: whether first timers or familiar, they are always friendly, then get right to work, with each team member assigned a specific set of tasks that they coordinate upon arrival. Their cleaning is organized and meticulous, and once the team is done the supervisor checks everything before asking me to do the same. They leave with a smile. I also appreciate the cooperation and flexibility that they exhibit: if I need to change the schedule they always try their best. They are also gracious and good-humored about the fact that my husband and I both work from home. They allow us our space and work quietly, then when it's time for us to clear out so they can take care of the rooms that we're occupying, they gently point us to a room that they've finished so that we can all get our work done! It would take more than my two hands to count the number of cleaning services my husband and I have used in our lives, and up until Executive Maids I've found the same sad pattern with each: they do a terrific job for a month or three, then things start to fall off ... the honeymoon is over and the attention to detail fades. There's always been the sense that once our business is assured we're being taken for granted. This has not been the case with Executive Maids. We have always felt that we are valued, and their service has remained at the same consistently high level they exhibited at the start. I recommend them highly. read more

Showed up . Pink car they had leaked all over my driveway. The didn't clean my house that great and then refused to clean my oil stained driveway. STAY AWAY!!! read more

I no longer live in Philly, but the one time I hired a cleaning crew I used Executive Maids because they were willing to service my house in a rough North Philly neighborhood. The ladies who came were very friendly, cheery and efficient. They worked quickly, yet paid attention to detail and even dusted all the floor boards and ceiling fans. The bathroom looked amazing! read more

Bravo to Dawn and her staff!!!! Our office looks, smells, and feels marvelous! Executive Maids are neat, thorough, organized, hard working professionals. The cleaning crews and the office staff are so polite, helpful and courteous. Non-stop cleaning while on the clock ....... gotta love it! read more

Second time using Executive Maids and I will continue to have them clean. The ladies are hard working, polite, friendly, and thorough. My house is spotless. They made sure I was satisfied before they left my home and were noticeably happy while doing their work. Thank you Executive Maids! read more

Make sure you read the fine print! EM came to my house and I was happy with the work they did. That said, I was very displeased with the customer service. Granted, I should have read the fine print more carefully and I should have expected the final cost to be more than the estimated time (I guess), but it was frustrating, nonetheless. read more

Amazing service, not only did I call at 5:00 needing a cleaning ASAP (since other service never showed) they answered promptly, and came out first thing in the morning. My house looks amazing, and they were professional, quick, and friendly. The owner even stopped by to check on the process, and make sure I was happy, great company, would recommend to anyone! read more

Here's the thing...nobody wants anyone in their home that they don't know...I don't. But boy did my jaded skepticism turn around after meeting the amazing crew from Executive Maids Philadelphia. Their professional and passionate manner really wowed me. Three expert cleaners showed up at my door with a can do attitude and smokes all round. I have never seen women so happy to clean. So funny. I wanted to get to know them better so I asked them so basic questions...how long have you been working with the company? How many homes did you clean today...etc. By the end of the service we were friends and I had a great deal of respect for each one. Their dedication ad attention to detail wowed me and they even opened up and let me in a little... They were hardworking women committed to doing a superior job and I was impressed. I would trust them enough to recommend to my friends who are all neurotic and uptight. Can't say enough wonderful things about this company. Don't think twice- they are insured and bonded and very focused on cleanliness not rifling thigh your Med cabinet or hocking your Jimmy Choos on Craig's list. Trust me you will be happy you will use the routinely. Xoxoxoxo read more

Executive Maids came to my house this week. They were on time, and did a very good job especially for the first time cleaning my house. They were polite and did as good a job as they could especially in the three hour time limit and due to the fact that my house was pretty bad having not had a thorough cleaning in months. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Executive maids broke something every time they were at my house. the crew would ask you to sign off that everything was ok in a hurry on their way out the door and later a picture frame would be broken or something else. The worst was when I asked them to clean my wood living room floor. Despite having a 4 person crew they dragged it and gouged a huge 2 foot cut into the wood. It was the day my mother died, and when I called back they refused to acknowledge they had done it. Don't go near them read more

I have used Executive Maids for 13 years. I have found them to be professional and responsive to my needs. In the one instance when I had a complaint they addressed the issue immediately. The staff is well trained and -if you treat them with respect-friendly and willing to meet any changing needs you may have. The owner is always available to discuss any concerns. I am surprised to read negative reviews as I think this an exceptionally well run company and I do not hesitate to recommend them to my friends ! Try them, and I believe you will be happy you did. read more

I have been a customer of the Executive Maids for almost ten years, and during that time I have been very pleased with their work. I have found the cleaning teams to be professional, reliable and prompt. They have frequently gone well beyond what would have been required. I love to come home from work after the EM have visited--my house shines! I have found the customer service staff to be friendly and accommodating. I recommend them without reservation. read more

5 Stars! Wish i had them years ago! Always a professional job from top to bottom, and they always work with you as far as scheduling. I trust no one else but Executive Maids!!! read more

If I could give less than 1 star, I would do so. They sent 3 people out to my home. They said it took over 2 hours to clean. My home is small & uncluttered. I even moved things out of their way. I got home & I was appalled at the job that they did. There was more things untouched than cleaned. I emailed them right away with pictures. They apologized & sent their quality control person out the next day to do what the other employees missed. He called & said he did everything. It took him about an hour. When I went home that day, there was still things that were obvious & in plain site that were not addressed. I took more pictures & sent another email. When thy called, they said there was nothing they could do. I do not mind paying a higher price for quality work. But this was anything but quality work. They promise you the world but not only do they not deliver, they charge you for it anyway. I would never recommend them. read more

RANT!! My daughter recently bought her first house. I thought it would be a good idea to hire a cleaning company to clean. Wrong! I would advise against hiring Executive Maids to do anything. I found them in Philadelphia Magazine so of course, I thought they were good. Wrong again! I had to ask them to clean certain things over again and they still weren't clean. I had requested that they clean the inside of the appliances and kitchen cabinets. I had to do them over again. When I expressed my concerns to Executive Maids first they questioned my integrity by requesting photos. Fortunately we had photos of the stove and dishwasher. They offered to come back and clean again. Did they really think I was going to let it stay that way? They have since not offered any compensation other then coming back and cleaning again. Oh, did I mention that they sent four people to do this cleaning and charged close to $300.00. Apparently their idea of cleaning is to wipe things down with a damp cloth. The girl doing the kitchen gave me the excuse that there was no aqua. She was correct, the plumbing in the kitchen was not yet hooked up but there were two bathrooms where the plumbing worked just fine. I would most definitely not recommend EXECUTIVE MAIDS !! read more
