Cleaning Services in Amherst, MA

Amherst is really two towns in one, and the census numbers show it plainly. The median age is 21.4, and 59.6 percent of residents are enrolled in college. 55.8 percent of homes are rented, and 37.7 percent sit in buildings of five or more units, the highest share of the six places we cover. Yet 41.6 percent of Amherst's homes are detached houses -- the family-house side of the same town.

That gives a cleaning company two different jobs under one name. On one side are off-campus apartments and shared houses that turn over, where a move-out clean is a group job with several bedrooms, common rooms and a kitchen everybody used. On the other are family houses that want a standing biweekly or monthly plan and a first deep clean to set the baseline. The housing is younger than Northampton's -- the median home dates from 1975 -- but almost a quarter of it was built before 1940, so the trim, casings and built-ins of an older house are part of the work here too.

Two limits, stated up front. We clean houses and apartments off campus, not on campus. And we do not promise what a landlord decides about a deposit; we promise a move-out clean against the list a walk-through checks, checked again before we leave.
