Since 1984
One owner, one city, forty plus years
Jacque opened Maid For You Cleaning Service in Austin in 1984 with a plain enough goal: provide reliable, high quality cleaning that homeowners could actually depend on. She still owns the company. Nobody bought it, franchised it, or renamed it in between.
More Than 40 Years of Helping Austin Families
Trust is the actual product
Inviting someone into your home is built on trust, and earning it takes more than showing up and leaving the place clean. It means listening to what you actually want, communicating plainly when something changes, and respecting a house that is not ours. That is Jacque's standard, and it has not moved in four decades.
Working with thousands of homeowners over that time has given her a clear view, and the reasons they call are rarely the same. A demanding career that leaves no hours spare. Young children who make a house dirty faster than one person can keep up with. An aging parent who needs looking after instead of a mop. Or simply wanting a Saturday back that has not belonged to you in months. Those are different problems, so the plan we build is customized to the house and the person in it, not sold off a shelf.
The part we never outsource
Our cleaners are our own employees
Not independent contractors. That distinction sounds administrative until you are the one handing over a house key, and then it is the only thing that matters.
Background checked, before day one
Everyone who will hold a key to a customer's house is checked before they are ever scheduled into one. That step does not exist with a contractor roster, because a contractor is not hired, they are booked.
Trained by us, not left to figure it out
New employees train alongside experienced ones before they work a house alone. Product, sequence, what to touch and what to leave, how to lock up. Nobody's first solo visit is also their first visit.
Reviewed on the work, ongoing
Performance gets looked at after the fact, not just once at hiring. If a house is not being cleaned the way it should be, that is a conversation with an employer, not a note left for a stranger who may or may not come back.
Woman, family and locally owned
One owner since 1984. No franchise, no corporate parent, no rebrand.

A small, honest ask
If we clean for you, tell us how it went
We would be grateful if you could share your thoughts after a visit. It helps Jacque know where the company is doing right by people and where it is not, and it is the surest way this page will ever have anything more to say than her own word.
