Modern, clean basement with workspace.

Do You Hear A Rumbling Noise Coming from Your Basement?

Ah, the basement. Even the word makes you feel ‘yuck’. It’s a great place to put all that stuff you won’t be needing any time soon, but truth be told, what begins as short-term storage usually becomes useless, unwanted, and forgotten.

A broken lamp you were sure you’d fix, a chair you no longer love that needs repairs, that bike the kids have outgrown, the little this, the big that, and eventually almost all basements are yuck. Yuck! Downright unwelcoming, and kind of depressing.

Come to think of it, someone should produce a movie about the basement junk that comes to life and starts to rumble and grumble about their plight.

So, how’s your basement? A jumbled mess of disorganized stuff? Why don’t you let our premier cleaning service take care of it?

Our customers tell us that even if they haven’t peeked into the basement for months, they feel lighter and happier once Happy Maids has done its magic. The science of Feng Shui explains that messy spaces affect the overall feel of your environment – even if they’re out of sight.

Why are Happy Maids housekeepers the best?

Our vetted and bonded professional cleaning experts just love to get basements back in order. First, they work with you to define what stays and what goes. Any heavy or large junk will need a junk removal service, but they’ll do the rest. And to be sure we don’t miss a thing they use an itemized process.

Does your basement have poles? We’ll wipe those down. Windows? Cobwebs? Appliances? Everything gets our attention, including the floor which we’ll vacuum and mop with our eco friendly products.

The End of Yuck … and the End of Grumbling

Your basement will feel thoughtfully ordered and have the fresh, clean scent of our green cleaning products. The rumbling and grumbling? We can pretty well guarantee you that’s stopped. You might even call it peaceful and just wait, you’ll see – your whole house will feel lighter.

Take a look at our Basement Cleaning checklist below, then call us for a free estimate.
