FAQ

Can I hire one of your maids directly to perform cleaning or any

We invest significant resources for recruiting, hiring, and training our employees in order to consistently provide the highest quality service to our clients. Our employees have entered into non-compete agreements which prohibit them from, among other things, providing services to our clients outside the scope of their employment with us. Should you wish to hire a current or previous New Century Maids employee for any home-related service outside of your relationship with our company, we charge a referral fee of $3,500. This fee is due within thirty days of notification from New Century Maids. We ask that you refrain from soliciting our employees directly – please contact us should you wish to discuss such an arrangement.

What is your satisfaction guarantee?

We guarantee all cleanings to be highly efficient. Please call us if you are unhappy with the quality of our work within 24 hours following the cleaning. If necessary, we will return the next business day to correct the cleaning.

What do I need to do before the cleaning?

Nothing, the maids are quite willing to tidy as well as clean, but if you would prefer that they use their time more efficiently, you could pick up any clothing, toys etc. before they come.

Our regular workdays are from 8:00am to 5:00pm.

If the maids are delayed by more than 30 minutes we will call you.

Not a problem, we ask that you give us 48 hours notice so that we can adjust our schedule. If we receive less notice there will be a fee in the amount of 1/2 your regular clean price to cover expenses.

Who will be cleaning, my home?

We attempt to send the same team of professional cleaners, each time we clean your home. Sometimes due to illness, vacations or other reasons we have to substitute another member of staff.
