Merry Maids

Steer Clear

I would not recommend Merry Maids. They cleaned our house every week for close to a year. We started noticing a few items missing from our house. The first thing to come up missing was my eight year old daughters iPod. Then my daughters wallet containing about $50 turned up missing. We thought that maybe she just lost it. A few weeks later we went out of town on vacation. When we returned, my wife wife's wedding ring, along with another ring were missing. The only people that had access to my home were the maids. We called and complained, but the owner didn't seem very concerned. He suggested that maybe our items were simply misplaced. We are positive the rings were in the jewelry box when we left on vacation, and were gone when we returned. Again, the only people to enter our house while we were gone, were the maids. Unless you want to lock up all of your valuables, and don't mind giving thieves a key to your house, I would avoid Merry Maids at all costs.

• Pros: I can't say anything good about a company that stole from me
• Cons: They stole items from my family, including my eight year old daughter
