A Maid for Your Home by Carrie Green

Once you have made the decision to enlist the skills of a professional maid or maids in your battle for the cleanliness of your home, apartment, or business, there is still another very important choice to be made. Choosing between a nationally recognized, time tested maid service and a small local business is an important decision. The path you take at this point can be decisive. The right decision can yield the satisfaction of even better results than you had anticipated, while the wrong decision could lead to disaster. Contrary to the popular image of cookie-cutter maids in black uniforms with lacy white aprons, maid services are not all equivalent. Your home and your cleaning needs are unique, and you should hire a maid service that respects this and conducts itself accordingly. How should you approach the choice between a local maid service and a national maid service? What are the differences and what are the advantages?

So you have chosen to hire a maid service. If you want the job done right, then you must aim for a maid service that will leave you a happy customer--a maid service that you may even patronize again and again. In that case, it would be wise to keep in mind that a bigger business always means more satisfied customers. After all, satisfying customers is the way that businesses grow, and maid services are no exception. A nationally recognized maid service like Merry Maids achieves and maintains its status one client--one house, one apartment, one business--at a time, getting the job done right, and at a reasonable cost. The satisfaction of all those customers is simultaneously a nationwide vote of confidence and a quality guarantee.

Nationwide companies are not born that way; they start off life as small town businesses and--if they create enough satisfied customers--they build their service area slowly. Accomplishing growth in this way requires business to pass one of the most difficult tests of all: the test of time. A consequence of this fact is that nationally recognized maid services like Merry Maids have generally been in the cleaning business much longer than have smaller local maid services. Think about it. Would you prefer a surgeon with 35 years of experience or an untested rookie fresh out of medical school? For that matter, would you prefer a maid service with a 35 year track record of excellence, or a relatively untested local service with perhaps five years of experience and no reputation? Nationwide maid services tend to be older companies, which translates into more experience and trust.

Finally, companies that have achieved national recognition are of a size and status that empowers them with far greater resources than a small business, resources that they can then bring to bear on your own situation. A national fixture like Merry Maids can dedicate more resources to your satisfaction in a way that more limited services cannot. Merry Maids became a household name because they started off strong, and as they have grown, they have developed resources to become even stronger; offering employees ongoing training and teaching to maintain and enhance excellence.

It is clear that there are strong reasons to prefer a national maid service to a local maid service. Since your satisfaction and a job well done at a reasonable price is the bottom line, why not go with the biggest, oldest, most resourceful players in the business?
