Finding a cleaning company in New York can take hours of sifting through countless Internet and phone book searches. When you do narrow down your search, there are many factors to consider aside from cost; overall, you will want to ensure that you are doing business with a reliable company in good standing.
For people who work out of the home more than forty hours a week, it can be especially frustrating to see just how much and how quickly your home can become dirty. It’s not a pleasant feeling to walk into the door after a 12-hour shift and realize that you still have yet to do dishes, laundry, vacuuming, and other household chores. Of course, one of the main concerns for people who want cleaning services, but have not gotten them is the cost factor. Typically, the initial visit from 1st Class Cleaning will be the highest expense, as it will likely involve deep cleaning, including appliance cleaning and other tasks that are not done on a regular basis. When the housekeeper visits regularly, however, a flat fee will be charged based on several factors: the square footage, number of rooms, intensity of cleaning, and any additional client requests such as laundry service.

When searching for a cleaning company in New York, you will need to take several factors into consideration aside from cost. You will want to make sure that the company is bonded and insured so that if anything turns up missing they can be held responsible. Also, you will want to find a cleaning service that hires permanent staff rather than temporary workers that come and go. Permanent employees can give clients and a sense of familiarity, which will overall make the cleaning company more trustworthy.
Aside from the fact that they only work for a company temporarily, subcontractors are not subject to the same rules as permanent employees. They usually do not receive the same training, they might not be covered by the company in terms of liability, and in some cases, these subcontractors work “off the books” or under the table, which is against the law. To ensure that you are doing business with a trustworthy company, you will want to make sure that the company you have in mind meets the aforementioned criteria.
When you choose 1st Class Cleaning, you will receive service from bonded, insured, professional cleaners who are staffed directly by 1st Class and never subcontracted. If you establish good rapport with one of their housekeepers, you can even opt to have only him or her clean your home or office rather than having someone new come by every time. You can have customized housekeeping services as often as you would like, and there is no obligation to sign up for a long-term contract. If you are looking for a cleaning company in New York that provides flexible, trustworthy, and quality service, contact 1st Class Cleaning to see how they can help.
