“For 8 years, I have been fortunate enough to utilize the greatest cleaning crew ever. Jesus and his family are an incredible team and really take extra special service to a whole new level. They are quick, efficient and extremely detailed. They clean everything from your windows, to the inside of the fridge, even lifting sofas as they vacuum. They’re always careful, I completely trust them with everything inside my home. Best part is, they are in and out in no time. They clean weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, the greater the frequency, the lower the cost. Mention Jen’s List and get $10 off. Book twice get $10 more off the 2nd visit!
