Our hours are Mon – Fri from 8am – 4:30pm. We do not work Saturdays or Sundays.

The Maid Crew does NOT require a contract or commitment (even if you want recurring service). We feel that our work should speak for itself. If you’re happy, you’ll keep us around. If you’re not happy, we’ll do what we can to make things right. If our best efforts fail, we’ll thank you for the opportunity to serve.

Deadline for canceling or rescheduling is 48hrs+ prior to a client’s appointment. Cancellations or reschedules submitted with LESS THAN 48hrs notice results in a $75 late-cancellation fee.

You do not need to be home during the cleaning. We typically clean while folks are at work. On the flip side, if you are going to be home, that’s okay too… we’ll just work around you.

Some clients will hide a key or leave a door unlocked on the day of service or provide us with a code for keyless entry through a door or garage. We have realtor lock-boxes we can make available at cost for $20 a box if you’d like to go that route. Although we can keep keys on file we prefer not to for multiple reasons. Exceptions can be made however if your home is within in a condo building which requires key-access through multiple security doors.

We love Pets (unless they’re aggressive)! Pets help to break up the monotony or normal routine of our day. Just let us know their name(s) and if there are any special instructions we need to be aware of, such as where treats are kept, if they’re allowed outside, etc.

For a complete list on what you can expect, please visit our Details page.

Tipping is neither required nor expected, but it is greatly appreciated by the Crew and a great way of saying “Thanks”. 100% of tips go directly to the Crew that provided the cleaning. If tipping, we recommend cash in a marked envelope (otherwise it’ll be viewed as you just left money lying around). Since we do not accept checks, the only other option for tipping is to call or text us in the office with instructions on how much tip should be added to the final card-charge.

At The Maid Crew, we want to make sure each and every client is happy with the service provided. One of the ways we do that is with a Satisfaction Guarantee. If you’re not happy with a particular aspect of our cleaning, then give us a call or email within 24 – 48 hours of our visit and we’ll come back out to provide a Re-Clean absolutely free.

It is The Maid Crew’s policy not to provide discounts or refunds once Time & Labor has been rendered. Instead of discounts or refunds, we offer clients the option of a Re-Clean if not completely happy with the quality of the cleaning provided. Conditions apply.

Well, we're a rag tag group of cleaning professionals lead by a Richmond native (so we're local) who started cleaning homes back in 1999 (so we've been around a while.)
The Maid Crew services most of Greater Richmond, including central Richmond, Glen Allen, Short Pump, Ashland, Mechanicsville, Midlothian, Chesterfield, Chester, Manikin-Sabot, Moseley and parts of Goochland. There are some areas that we do not go to. Please check our SERVICE AREA MAP to determine availability.
One-time, Spring Cleanings, Move-Ins, Move-Outs, Post-Renovation, Commercial Buildings, Small Offices, etc.
For a full description of what’s included and what not included, please visit our DETAILS page.
Clients are free to customize their cleanings to suit their needs and their budget. Don’t need certain rooms or a level of your home cleaned? No problem. Tell us what you do need, and we’ll tailor make a cleaning just for you.
You do not need to be home during the cleaning. We typically clean while folks are at work. On the flip side, if you are going to be home, that’s okay too. Whether you’re home or not during our visit, you’ll still get a great cleaning.
Pets are not a problem (unless they’re aggressive). Just let us know the pets names and if there are any special instructions we need to be aware of (such as where treats are kept, if they’re allowed outside, etc.)
If you're wanting to keep your costs down, the less clutter we have to work through the quicker we'll be able to accomplish the cleaning. If extra time is needed for organizing & decluttering, the higher your cost.
With The Maid Crew, there’s never a contract. We feel that the quality of our work should speak for itself. If you like what you see, then you’re free to keep us around as long as you like.

If you’d like to book an extra clean in-between a regular recurring schedule or need more hours on a 1x clean, or if you’d like to get some extra, seasonal chores tackled (like inside the fridge or some window washing) just let us know prior to our visit so we can set aside the extra time that’ll be needed. Extra time/chores will result in additional costs.
Clients are free to book as many hours as they feel is needed to get the job done. The Maid Crew can offer recommendations based on experience and historical averages. Give us a call, explain what you’d like to see accomplished and we’ll help guide you through the booking process according to your needs and budget.
If it is uncertain whether you’ve booked a sufficient number of man-hours for the job at hand, you have the option to authorize more time once the Crew has reached the original “cap”. We can have the Crew call you directly to let you know how far they’ve gotten, how much more time the believe is needed and allow you to decide if & how much more time you’d like to authorize.

All those who wear The Maid Crew uniform are employees. As such, The Maid Crew takes care of all payroll withholding taxes, unemployment insurance, workers comp coverage and general liability. (Companies making use of subcontractors (1099 Workers) place YOU at risk for bearing financial responsibility in the event of worker injury and/or tax avoidance.) With The Maid Crew, you can rest easy knowing that all the details have been taken care of….. Both YOU and our Employees are fully covered.
The Maid Crew's management sifts through, literally, HUNDREDS of applications & social profiles just to find one new recruit that it feels would be a good fit for both us & our clients. Once hired, all new employees go through background screenings, drug tests and reference checks to ensure we're sending only the best into your home.
For safety, security and accountability reasons, a Maid Crew team is typically made up of two certified cleaners. If a particular team has a heavier than normal work-load for the day, a third person will usually be added. In rare occasions, when operational necessity dictates, The Maid Crew may send out a single crew member to service an account. If a “Crew of One” is ever necessary, the individual sent is typically one of our more senior, experienced and trustworthy employees.
By choosing The Maid Crew, you’ve aligned yourself with some of the area’s BEST house cleaners. We’re pretty picky as to who we hire (and who we keep on board). Those working for The Maid Crew are thoroughly trained, uniformed and experienced. Many of those working for us have YEARS of expertise in the industry. Those who are new to the house cleaning industry are supervised by a Senior Crew Leader and inspected behind. If anything should ever fall through the cracks (regarding quality), you needn’t worry – Your Cleaning is Guaranteed. If you find something you’re not happy with, just call us within 24hrs and we’ll return at our own expense to address the issue.
The Maid Crew does it’s best to maintain the same crew on your account visit after visit. With that said, illness, vacation, departures or dismissals may necessitate a change in personnel from time to time. Your understanding and patience is greatly appreciated during the temporary replacement or transition from one worker or crew to the next.
Unfortunately, due to health, safety and insurance requirements, all Maid Crew personnel are required to wear shoes at all time, even while in your home.
Tipping is neither required nor expected, but it is greatly appreciated by the Crew and a great way of saying “Thanks”. 100% of tips go directly to the Crew that serviced your account for the day. Should you decide to offer a tip, you are free to leave cash, to include it in the check-payment or call to ask that we include an extra amount in your credit/debit card charge.
Quick answer is: No. As stated within our Terms of Service, The Maid Crew requires clients to refrain from soliciting our staff to work for them directly… In fact, all Maid Crew employees sign a non-compete agreement upon being hired barring them from performing any services, either directly or indirectly, for any of our past, present or prospective clients both during their employment and for a period of one full year following their departure or dismissal. Should a client approach the Management of The Maid Crew directly and wish to retain us as a Domestic Placement Agency, we will gladly assist a homeowner in the recruitment, vetting and training of a qualified house-keeper for a nominal fee of $2500USD.

Payment is due at the time of service. All reservations and appointments are secured by means of a credit/debit card at the time of booking (VISA, MasterCard, Discover or AmEx). Effective Jan 1 2020, The Maid Crew no longer accepts checks or cash as payment.... everything's done through credit/debit card. ACH bank draft coming soon.
As a means of ensuring that it’s time & resources are respected & honored appropriately, and as an assurance of payment, The Maid Crew requires all bookings to be secured through debit/credit card reservation. If an appointment is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice or if the Crew experiences a Lock-Out or are turned away upon arrival, the debit/credit card on file will be charged a $50 Late Cancellation fee as outlined in The Maid Crew’s Terms of Service.
The Maid Crew may, under certain circumstances, opt to pre-authorize a charge against a client’s debit/credit card the day before services are to be rendered. The pre-authorization may show up as a hold or pending charge against your account as an assurance of available funds, especially in situations where a LARGE amount of time & labor is to be reserved and/or rendered. Only when your appointment has actually been completed will the charge be finalized and processed.
With The Maid Crew, clients are in complete control of how much time & labor they’d like to reserve / book for an hourly based cleaning. We can offer recommendations but ultimately, the choice rests with the client based on their needs and/or budget. Should a client book MORE THAN the number of hours needed, the client will only be charged for the amount of time & labor rendered. In the event the job requires more time than expected, the client will be consulted as to whether they’d like to authorize more time and, if so, will be billed appropriately.
If you are set up to pay by debit/credit card and wish to provide the Crew a tip, simply call our office directly and let us know how much of a tip you’d like to add to your debit/credit card charge. We will forward 100% of the tip amount to the Crew Members responsible for the cleaning (split equally among all those on the team).
The Maid Crew reserves the right to amend its rates at any time to allow for business related cost increases. Additional charges may be necessary for the extra maid-hours typically required for initial cleanings, post-party cleaning, renovation cleanup, “picking-up” prior to actually cleaning, extended intervals between cleanings, additional service requests and/or the addition of pets, children, or roommates. Recurring Clients will be provided with a 14 day advanced notice of any permanent rate change affecting their account.
Clients whose check has been returned for insufficient funds, who stop payment on a check, or who have denied payment to The Maid Crew by means of a charge-back to their credit card, will be assessed a $50 “denial-of-payment” fee in addition to all applicable late payment penalties, interest, administrative and collection costs. Late payment penalties are as follows: $15 for account balances carried seven days beyond the date of service, $25 additional if carried thirty days beyond date of service; For Corporate Clients requiring invoicing: 10% on all account balances not paid in full thirty days beyond original date of invoicing.

At The Maid Crew, we want to make sure each and every client is happy with the service provided. One of the ways we do that is with a Satisfaction Guarantee. If you’re not happy with a particular aspect of our cleaning, then give us a call or email within 24 hours of our visit and we’ll come back out to provide a Re-Clean absolutely free.
It is The Maid Crew’s policy not to provide discounts or refunds once Time & Labor has been rendered. Instead of discounts or refunds, we offer clients the option of a Re-Clean if not completely happy with the quality of the cleaning provided. Conditions apply.
Once your appointment for service has been solidified on our schedule, we set that space aside specifically FOR YOU. We also reserve the necessary man-power to attend to your cleaning, while turning other business and potential clients away. Should you need to either cancel or reschedule a particular cleaning, we require a ONE day advance notice prior to your appointment.
The Maid Crew requires a minimum of ONE DAY’s ADVANCE NOTICE if you should ever need to cancel or reschedule a cleaning. This will allow us time to adjust the routes and book other clients in your place. Failing to provide a one day advance notice of cancellation or rescheduling will result in a $50 late cancellation fee being assessed and charged to your credit card on file.
If our Crew is either turned away at your door or simply unable to gain access to your home upon their arrival, an attempt will be made to contact you for assistance. If you cannot be reached or you refuse service, the Crew will be instructed to cancel the cleaning & move on to their next account. Such a scenario shall be viewed as a “Lock-Out”. All Lock-Outs are treated as late cancellations and will result in a fee of $50 automatically billed to your account & charged to your credit card on file.
If you are a recurring client, a discount has been factored into the price of your cleaning based on your frequency of service. If we are to honor the discounted pricing provided, we will require that you, in turn, honor the integrity of your recurring service schedule. In the event you cannot maintain the integrity of your schedule and you need to skip a cleaning, (as opposed to reschedule) your next appointment for service shall be billed in accordance with the pricing structure established for your account. (Example: If your service is normally every two weeks (at say $85) and you skip a visit, your next cleaning will be bill as a monthly (at say $115) due to the resulting four week interval between cleanings.) MONTHLY CLIENTS needing to reschedule or skip a cleaning which, in turn, results in a gap of 5 – 8 weeks between cleanings, will be assessed an extra cleaning fee commensurate with the size and condition of their home. Clients with a gap of more than 8 weeks between visits will have their next scheduled cleaning treated like an initial & provided by the hour in order to bring the home back up to maintenance level.
When hired, The Maid Crew employees sign a non-compete agreement barring them from performing any service for any past, present or prospective clients residing within our current service area both during their employment and for a period of one full year following their departure or dismissal. Upon requesting service, you agree not to solicit, entice, or influence any current or previous employee still bound by their non-compete agreement to take care of their service needs, whether directly or indirectly, individually, or through a family member or other person or company, under penalty of a $4,500 finders fee assessed against your account, due & payable 30 days from the date of assessment. If you would like to hire, directly or indirectly, one of our current or previous employees who remain contractually obligated to their non-compete agreement, we would be happy to release them from their contract and bill your account a referral fee of $2,500. We consider our employees our most valuable asset and charge accordingly.
