I used the bravomaids team for a move out cleaning service and they did outstanding job. Their team left the home sparkling and cleaner than the day I moved in. They made the stress of moving out and getting my deposit back easier and scheduling was simple and fast. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience. Booking with Jason via email was seamless. Asked directed questions so we were both clear on my home clean needs. He was able to secure a cleaner to come to Tierrasanta. Kassandra is an excellent Cleaning Specialist. She arrived on-time, assessed the cleaning job, and executed in less than the allotted time.

Kassandra and Elliot did a fantastic job with the deep clean in my space. It was about 5 hours and everything was very thorough. They did the inside of my cabinets, appliances and outdoor storage space. A walkthrough was also done after the job to ensure everything is as expected.

Great job steam cleaning an older fridge in new lease. We expected a quick pass, but team took the whole thing apart and cleaned the fridge and freezer from top to bottom. Neat and efficient, with full effort they left this 21 year old fridge as clean as it could possibly be.

I had a lot of pink mold in my showers and grey mold on my windows. I went with their Deep Clean package since that references grime in the bathrooms. The cleaners came in with their steam machines and spray bottles and eradicated all of it! They even put on a finishing touch of vacuuming the apartment and taking out the recycling.

Outstanding Service from Marcella at Bravo Maids! Marcella did an incredible job cleaning my home! She was punctual, professional, and extremely thorough. Every room sparkled by the time she was done, and she paid great attention to detail — nothing was overlooked.
