House Cleaning & Maid Service

Some people call it house cleaning and plenty of our customers call it maid service. In Boerne, "maid service" is one of the most searched cleaning phrases in the whole market, so it is clearly the words people here reach for first. It is the same job either way: a professional who comes to your home on a set schedule, works through a written checklist, and leaves the place ready to live in.

What separates a real maid service from a one-off clean is the relationship. Your cleaner learns which cabinet the glass cleaner lives in, which rug the dog sleeps on, which room the grandkids destroy first when they visit. After a few visits nobody is following a generic script -- they are cleaning your house the way you would if you had the time and the knees for it.

Most Hill Country households land on biweekly. It keeps a house genuinely clean without paying for visits you do not need. Weekly makes sense when there are children, pets, or simply more traffic through the house than a two-week gap can absorb. Monthly works for smaller homes and tidy households that mainly want the heavy-effort tasks handled -- bathrooms, floors, kitchen, blinds.

You are not locked into whichever plan you start with. Households here move between frequencies as the year turns: more often when family is in town or the house is full, less often when it empties out. Tell us and we change the schedule.

A large share of the housing in this market belongs to somebody who is not standing in it. Nearly a fifth of the housing units in the 78624 area sit vacant on any given day, the median age around Fredericksburg and across Gillespie County is in the low fifties, and better than a quarter of Kerrville residents are 65 or older. Between second homes, seasonal owners and the rentals, plenty of these houses are closed up for stretches at a time.

A closed house is not a clean house. Dust keeps arriving through vents and door seals, water sits in traps, hard water dries onto the shower door that nobody has run in six weeks, and anything left in a pantry has months to become a problem. For owners who live somewhere else, we run the same checklist on a recurring schedule, get the house opened up and ready before you drive in, and send you a plain account of what we found -- including the things that are not cleaning problems.

One honest limit: we are a cleaning company, not a home-watch or property inspection service. We will tell you about the stain on the ceiling, the dead smoke alarm battery or the door that will not latch, because we are in the house and we can see it. We do not represent that as a security or maintenance inspection.
