Who Are You Letting Into Your Home? Are They Bonded and Insured?
June 19, 2013
If you need to hire someone to help you clean your home, you’re not alone. Plenty of people hire cleaning services to make life more manageable and to reduce stress. Unfortunately, some people, hoping to save money, end up hiring disreputable cleaning services or individuals. This post will discuss the importance of hiring only a bonded and insured home cleaning service.
Cheapest is Not the Best
When it comes to hiring a cleaning agency, the adage, “You get what you pay for,” has never rang more true.If you hire an individual or a service because they are substantially cheaper than other services, you may find that it’ll cost you more in the long run. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Make sure you do your research by checking the credentials of the company you are considering.
The reason for a company’s low price may be its bad reputation or because its employees cut corners. It also may mean that the company (or the person) is neither bonded nor insured.
Why Hire a Bonded and Insured Cleaning Service?
There are a number of reasons for why you should hire a service that is bonded and insured. For one, if the person or people who are cleaning your home suffer from an accident or injury, you are not liable. There is always the potential for legal trouble if the service isn’t bonded and insured, and legal trouble can mean major expenses.
Second, if you allow a person who is not part of a bonded and insured agency into your home, you are completely out of luck if anything goes awry. If something is stolen or damaged during the service period, you have no recourse. A bonded and insured cleaning service will take responsibility for any such incident. If you use a service that isn’t bonded and insured, you take on that responsibility instead.
Make sure you avoid the consequences of hiring an unprofessional cleaning service. Instead, choose a highly professional agency, like A-1 Residential Cleaning, that is bonded and insured for your residential cleaning needs.
