Started by twoColumbus locals.
Maxwell Home Services was founded by two people from Columbus who had watched too many households get burned by no-shows, rotating strangers, and quotes that grew by the hour. The company was built to be the opposite of that.
Every cleaner is background checked and insured before they ever step into a client's home. Recurring clients get the same person each visit. Scheduling, payment and quality control are handled for you, and if a visit falls short, we come back within 24 hours and fix it at no charge.
Five ways toclean a house.
Whether you need a deep reset or someone you see every other week, the service is built around your home and your schedule.
Recurring Cleaning
Weekly or biweekly visits from the same cleaner, so the house stays ahead of the mess instead of catching up to it.

Read moreWhat is included
The room-by-room checklist our cleaners work through for every service. No guessing at what a clean covers.
See the checklistThree steps,no surprises.
Most of the stress of hiring a cleaner is not the cleaning. It is not knowing who is coming, when, or what it will cost. Here is the whole thing.
Tell us the bedrooms, bathrooms and the type of clean. You get one price, usually the same day, and it is the price you pay.
A background-checked, insured cleaner arrives in the window you agreed to and works through the checklist for your service. You get a text at the start and the finish.
If anything was missed, tell us within 24 hours and we come back at no charge. If you liked it, the same cleaner comes back on your schedule.

What Columbus homeownersare saying.
I had a wonderful experience for my move out cleaning with Maxwell Home Services. Josh and his team were very professional and cleaned the apartment thoroughly and got my deposit back.
Thank you again for the amazing clean. It changed the atmosphere of my home where it truly feels peaceful to be in. I'm always busy and tired because of work so it was worth every penny to get this level of clean. I'm overall very happy with my refreshed home and won't hesitate to book with you again.
Amazing service from start to finish. The cleaner was professional, thorough, and paid attention to every detail. My home looked and smelled incredible when they were finished.

Every one of them, before they are ever scheduled into a client home. We also confirm active general liability insurance for Maxwell Home Services and for every cleaning partner we work with, and new cleaners complete supervised cleans against our checklist before they take a home on their own.
By the home, not by the hour. We price on bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage and the type of clean you want, and you get one flat number before anyone shows up. The number does not grow because a job ran long. If your home has something unusual, tell us on the quote form and we will price it in.
No. Most clients give us access and go about their day. We text you when we arrive and again when we are finished. If you would rather be home, that is fine too.
Yes, if you are on a recurring schedule. The same person or team comes back every visit, so you explain your home once and it gets cleaned the same way every time. If your regular cleaner is out, we tell you before the visit rather than sending a stranger unannounced.
Tell us within 24 hours and we come back and re-clean whatever was missed at no charge. That is the whole guarantee. No forms, no argument.
Very little. Pick up anything you would not want moved, and make sure we can get in. For move-out and deep cleans, cabinets, drawers and the fridge need to be empty if you want the insides done. Supplies and equipment are ours unless you ask us to use something specific.
Quotes usually go out the same day. First cleans are often within the week, and short-term rental turnovers can be same day between guests. Call or text 380-233-5337 if the timing is tight and we will tell you honestly what we can do.
