FAQs

FAQs2026-03-05T16:38:08-05:00
Do I have to sign a contract?2026-03-04T13:14:31-05:00

No contract is needed to get started. Recurring cleanings simply follow our no-exceptions, no-skip policy.

When do I pay for the service?2026-03-04T13:24:43-05:00

All cleanings are prepaid. This helps us stay organized and ensures our team can provide the highest level of service.

What if I’m not satisfied?2022-07-21T09:31:13-04:00

Our work is 100% guaranteed. If you are not satisfied we will return within 24 hours and re-clean any unsatisfactory areas. If we cannot satisfy you a refund will be offered in most instances and the relationship will be permanently terminated.

What day and time will you show up to clean?2026-03-04T13:31:54-05:00

To keep our schedule running smoothly, we plan cleanings based on route optimization. We operate Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and sometimes Saturdays when needed. Most clients see us arrive during the 8:00–8:30 am or 11:00 am–1:00 pm windows. Office services can be arranged for evenings or weekends.

Who provides the chemicals & equipment?2022-07-21T09:31:48-04:00

For the ultimate in sanitation we use your supplies and equipment unless you you don’t want to provide them. No maid service cleans the equipment between houses. This exposes your home to germs and pet dander from the other houses they clean. Back up equipment and supplies are always on hand for emergencies.

Are my things safe with your employees?2022-07-21T09:32:07-04:00

We conduct criminal background checks on every prospective employee, we verify job history, and conduct employment verifications. Our outstanding record of quality hiring and our low employee turnover make us one of the safest services worthy of your trust. We rank safety and security at the top of our business priorities.

What if I have to skip or cancel my service?2026-03-04T13:38:49-05:00

Just hop over to the Customer Resources tab, open Scheduling Policy, and fill out the request form so we can update your schedule.

What if I need some extra tasks or services?2026-03-04T13:42:12-05:00

Need a little something extra? We’ve got you covered. We offer a simple add-on form that lists additional services you can request. Our team will provide this form during the sales process so you can easily select the extras you need.

Do I have to tip your employees?2022-07-21T09:32:57-04:00

No, it’s not expected, but it is greatly appreciated for work well done.

Should I have a Spring Cleaning every year?2022-07-21T09:33:29-04:00

Many of our clients do have a Top To Bottom Deluxe Cleaning annually to maintain those out-of-reach places that are not a part of the normal, weekly or bi-weekly routine. It’s less expensive than the first time Deluxe cleaning because the rest of the house is already at maintenance level if we are servicing your home!

Why are some services cheaper than others?2022-07-21T09:33:50-04:00

The truth is if you think a professional is expensive wait till you hire an amateur. The underground market seems less expensive on the surface but in the long run it really isn’t. What is your time worth? Cheaper services generally require you to find to housekeeper, verify their background, train them, and provide all the supplies for cleaning. You have to manage, supervise, and pay their payroll taxes despite their claim that they are an “”independent contractor” (the IRS almost never agrees therefore you are liable for all federal withholding taxes and labor law compliance). The “savings” is not worth the risk, especially if the cleaner is undocumented or brings undocumented “relatives” to help clean. Non-professional cleaners often give the cleaning industry a bad name by not paying taxes and hiring illegal workers.

Do you pay for referrals if I refer you?2026-03-04T13:56:09-05:00

We sure do! Refer a friend, neighbor, or family member and once they receive a cleaning, you’ll earn a $150 credit. Use this link to send us your referral:

Are your housekeepers employees or sub contractors?2022-07-21T09:34:24-04:00

Our Cleaning Techs are employees. Thoroughly screened and trained by an experienced Training Manager.

Can you guarantee an exact time for my cleaning appointment?2026-03-04T15:46:13-05:00

We try our best to arrive on time, but we cannot guarantee an exact arrival. Our technicians are cleaning other homes before yours, and travel time, traffic, or unexpected delays may impact the schedule. Our goal is always to arrive as close to the scheduled time as possible.

Do you allow appointment cancellations?2026-03-05T10:57:47-05:00

We no longer allow recurring clients to skip scheduled visits. However, for legacy clients and clients without a dedicated cleaner, if a cancellation happens within 48 hours of the scheduled cleaning, half of the fee will be applied.

What should I know about your cancellation policy?2026-03-05T10:58:14-05:00

Recurring clients are no longer able to skip scheduled services. For legacy clients or clients without a dedicated cleaner, if a cancellation is made within 48 hours of the appointment, half of the cleaning fee will be applied.

What does the lockout fee cover?2026-03-05T11:09:06-05:00

If our cleaners arrive but are unable to access your home or perform the service due to a locked door, uncontained pets, a power outage, water being shut off, or being turned away at the door, a lockout fee will apply. The fee is the full cost of the scheduled cleaning.

Where can I submit feedback about my cleaning?2026-03-05T11:42:59-05:00

We always appreciate hearing from you. Because cleaning is a personalized service, your feedback helps us fine tune your experience, fix any issues, and recognize the team members who do an outstanding job.

How do I get my first cleaning scheduled?2026-03-05T12:58:34-05:00

If you already received a quote from us, simply reply to the email with your estimate to confirm your appointment. If the proposed date does not work, include the date that works better for you in your reply.

If you need a quote first, you can request one here:
https://hubbardsmaidservice.com/request-a-quote/

100% Satisfaction Guarantee Policy:
We stand behind our services. If your cleaning was not completed according to the quoted service, we will return within 24 to 72 hours to correct the issue at no additional charge. Please contact our office staff rather than the technician directly with any concerns. Issues reported after 24 hours will be handled during the next scheduled cleaning.

Payment Policy:
Quotes are final once issued and prices are not negotiable afterward. If there is a quality concern, our team will return within 24 to 72 hours to correct the issue. Discounts are not offered unless we are first given the opportunity to re clean. Payment is required prior to service and must be made electronically or with cash.

Are you responsible if something breaks during a cleaning?2026-03-05T13:14:22-05:00

Yes. If one of our technicians causes breakage while cleaning, we take responsibility. Hubbard’s Maid Service is bonded and insured and covers smaller breakages up to $100. Larger incidents fall under our general liability coverage.

Our technicians report all damage immediately so the office can notify you and handle the situation quickly.

Normal wear and tear in the home, such as loose knobs or crumbling grout, is not considered breakage. We also ask that items hanging on walls or resting on surfaces are secured properly.

If you believe something was damaged, please take a photo and submit an incident report here:
https://hubbardsmaidservice.com/incident-report/

Please communicate any special cleaning instructions directly with the office so we can properly document them.

Our employees are also protected by employment agreements that prevent them from accepting private work from clients unless Hubbard’s Maid Service receives a finder’s fee.

We bring all supplies and equipment to each cleaning. If you request that we use your products instead, we are happy to do so but cannot be responsible for any damage those products may cause.

Where do your cleaning products come from?2026-03-05T13:22:17-05:00

We mainly use cleaning products from Speedcleaning.com. They have fantastic tools and solutions, and we encourage you to explore their products as well.

Is there a standard price for cleaning a home?2026-03-05T13:28:06-05:00

Not exactly. Every home has different needs, so pricing is personalized. Factors such as the size of your home, how many people live there, pets, clutter, flooring, and how often you want cleaning all help determine the final cost.

Is the first cleaning priced differently than the rest?2026-03-05T13:34:48-05:00

Yes. The first cleaning typically costs more because our team is doing the extra work needed to bring your home up to Hubbard’s Maid Service standards. Once the home has been properly cleaned, maintaining it during regular visits is easier and more affordable. We will provide estimates for both the first cleaning and the recurring service. If your home goes more than a month without cleaning, the next visit may be treated like a first-time cleaning.

Do I need to stay home while my house is being cleaned?2026-03-05T13:40:13-05:00

It’s completely up to you. Some clients enjoy being home, while others prefer to step out. If you decide not to be there, just make sure we have a way to access the home. Your security is always a top priority.

What if I want specific cleaning products used in my home?2026-03-05T13:46:20-05:00

That’s perfectly fine. Just leave the products out with instructions so we know where you’d like them used. We’re also happy to use your bleach, since we do not carry bleach ourselves.

What if no one is home and the cleaners can’t get in?2026-03-05T13:52:43-05:00

If we’re unable to access your home, a lockout fee will apply. We will try contacting you to see if there is a way to still gain entry before applying the fee.

Is your cleaning service pet friendly?2026-03-05T13:58:05-05:00

Yes, we love pets and are very careful around them. For the safety of both your pets and our team, we recommend keeping them in a separate area while we clean. This helps us work more efficiently and prevents pets from getting startled or slipping outside. Please let us know ahead of time what pets you have. For health and safety reasons, we cannot clean homes with flea infestations or pick up animal waste

Do I need to worry about valuables during a cleaning?2026-03-05T14:07:02-05:00

Your home and belongings are important to us. If you have special valuables or sentimental items, we recommend putting them away or letting us know not to clean certain areas. A closed drawer or door lets our team know to skip that space. Hubbard’s Maid Service is fully insured, but irreplaceable heirlooms are best stored somewhere safe during your cleaning.

Are your cleaning staff legally employed in the United States?2026-03-05T14:14:12-05:00

Yes. All cleaners working for Hubbard’s Maid Service are authorized to work in the United States. We verify employment eligibility through the I-9 process and pay taxes accordingly.

Am I responsible for taxes or workers’ compensation for the cleaner?2026-03-05T14:21:23-05:00

No. Hubbard’s Maid Service covers all employment taxes, including local, state, federal, and Social Security. We handle the paperwork and tax responsibilities so you can simply enjoy a clean home

Is there a way to add special notes for my cleaning service?2026-03-05T14:27:19-05:00

Yes! Simply email our office with your instructions and we will update your file. This ensures your preferences are saved for your regular cleaner and any future cleaning teams.

Why does my first cleaning take longer than recurring visits?2026-03-05T14:33:29-05:00

Your first cleaning includes a detailed top to bottom service so we can bring your home up to Hubbard’s Maid Service standards. Because it is our first time cleaning your home, it takes additional time to address everything properly. Recurring cleanings are designed to maintain that clean and usually take less time.

How frequently can I book cleaning services?2026-03-05T14:38:50-05:00

You can schedule our cleaning services weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Hubbard’s Maid Service also offers cleanings for special occasions and move in or move out cleaning services when you need them.

Will my cleaning be handled by one person or a group?2026-03-05T14:44:06-05:00

For bigger deep cleaning jobs, Hubbard’s Maid Service cleaners often work as a team to make sure everything gets done thoroughly. At times, a quality control manager may also visit to ensure everything meets our standards.

Do you observe any holidays that might affect my cleaning schedule?2026-03-05T14:50:02-05:00

Yes. If your regular cleaning falls on a holiday and your cleaner is not working, we will reach out a few weeks in advance to reschedule your visit. We observe New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.

Should my home alarm be turned off for my cleaning service?2026-03-05T14:55:58-05:00

Yes. If your home has a security system, please disarm or turn it off on the day of your cleaning. If you provide instructions for using the alarm, we are not responsible for alarms that may be set off or any first responder dispatch fees. For gated communities, please add your cleaner’s name to the authorized entry list.

What if something was overlooked during the cleaning?2026-03-05T15:01:53-05:00

Simply contact us within 24 hours by phone or email and we’ll make it right at no charge. If you can include a picture, it helps us see exactly what needs attention.

What happens if something in my home gets broken during service?2026-03-05T15:09:47-05:00

Our team always treats your belongings with care, but accidents can occasionally occur. If an item is damaged during a cleaning, we will work to repair it or replace it if needed. In some cases, insurance claims may also be filed. If possible, taking a photo and sending it to us helps us resolve the situation faster.

Can window washing be added to my cleaning appointment?2026-03-05T15:15:46-05:00

Absolutely. Window washing can be added to your service for an additional charge.

Are there any items or areas Hubbard’s Maid Service will not clean?2026-03-05T15:21:48-05:00

Our goal is to deliver reliable and consistent cleaning during every visit. We tailor our services to the needs of each home so our clients receive the best possible results.

There are some services we do not provide, including:
Ironing
Cleaning or removing pet or rodent excrement
Cleaning vomit, blood, or fecal matter
Power washing
Cleaning drapes or steam cleaning furniture or upholstery

Can I trust the people cleaning my home?2026-03-05T15:27:23-05:00

Our cleaning team is made up of trusted people from our own community. We hire friends and neighbors and offer competitive pay to bring in the best talent. Every cleaner is carefully screened, trained in detail, and their work is inspected regularly so you can feel confident about who is caring for your home.

Do you train and supervise your house cleaning staff?2026-03-05T15:33:04-05:00

Absolutely. Cleaning homes well requires a special skill set and attention to detail. That is why all of our cleaning technicians go through a comprehensive five day training program with a certified training manager. We also conduct quality control home checks to make sure every cleaning is done to our standards.

Does your company have proper insurance coverage?2026-03-05T15:38:33-05:00

Yes. We are bonded and insured, and our house cleaners are also covered by workers compensation insurance. Many independent cleaners do not have this type of coverage.

If I move to a new home, how do I let you know?2026-03-05T15:43:51-05:00

Just give our office a quick call at 912-961-9131 or send us an email at office@hubbardsmaidservice.com and we’ll update your address.

Please give us a call at 912-961-9131 and we’ll get that updated for you.

What is your approach to working with cleaning clients?2026-03-05T15:55:01-05:00

Our approach is simple. We earn your trust with every visit. There are no contracts to sign. Instead, we focus on honest communication and welcome feedback so we can keep delivering the level of service you expect.

Why are some house cleaning services so inexpensive?2026-03-05T16:02:27-05:00

In many cases, very low prices come from smaller companies that are run by a single person or family. To grow their customer base quickly, they may charge discounted rates. However, those prices often do not generate enough revenue to support a stable business over time.

Sometimes lower prices also mean the company is not paying required taxes, licensing costs, insurance, or worker protections. Some businesses even pay workers under the table.

Hubbard’s Maid Service is proud to be fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Our rates remain competitive while maintaining high standards of service and professionalism in Savannah and surrounding communities.
