How Are Estimates Performed?Estimates are performed Over-The-Phone Most estimates require only 5-10 minutes by answering a few routine questions. This also serves as a mutual interview. All estimates are based on 'average, normal dirtiness'. (a 5 on a 0-10 cleaning industry dirtiness scale; 10 is a hoarder house). To confirm estimate accuracy, an in-person inspection is performed upon entry of the premises for the cleaning appointment. Any known concerns will be promptly communicated and addressed. It is beneficial to understand that even with performing an initial inspection, issues can arise during the cleaning process that may affect the final cost. All required taxes, insurance, professional cleaning solutions and equipment are included in our estimates.

What Are The Time Expectations When Scheduling An Appointment?Appointments are scheduled for an agreed upon day; not on a specific hour, of a particular day. If a client would like an ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival), it is their responsibility to reach out to Lulu's Home Cleaning Service during hours of operation and request one. Lulu's Home Cleaning Service operates within the service industry. Typical of the service industry, the only arrival time that can be guaranteed is the first appointment of the day (8am). All other appointments are scheduled with the understanding and agreement that arrival times are approximate and subject to a 'two hour arrival window'. Meaning, when requested by the client, Lulu's Home Cleaning Service may provide an approximate arrival time of 10am, but we may arrive as early as 9am, or as late as 11am, and still be considered on time. Similiar to how cable company's operate (they typically require a 4 hour arrival window). **Lulu's Home Cleaning Service provides additional communication of our impending arrival in the form of an automated 'On My Way' text. The message states our team will arrive in either 10, 20 or 30 minutes.

What Should I, The Homeowner, Do Prior To The Techs Arrival?"De-clutter the space to be cleaned. Do not clean....that's why we are coming! Lulu's Home Cleaning Service provides a Home Cleaning Service. Not to be confused with a maid or housekeeping service. example: If the sink is full of dishes and countertops are full of clutter, it is impossible for the Tech to clean the sink and/or counters. Same goes for floors. It is impossible for the Tech to effectively clean floors with piles of items throughout the floor space to be cleaned. To clarify, if a space we are expected to clean is cluttered, the techs are trained to clean around the clutter. Consumer pro tip: If you want the most 'bang for the buck', de-clutter the space to be cleaned prior to the Techs arrival. For everyone's safety, secure all firearms while the Techs are present. The Techs are trained to not touch a client's firearm for any reason and the immediate area will not get cleaned.
