Housekeeping & Maintenance
One of the joys of becoming a Princeton Windrows homeowner is truly leaving the burdens of owning a home to us: weekly housekeeping, routine maintenance, equipment troubleshooting, garbage, recycling and snow removal. These are no longer your job or hassle! We call it maintenance-free living. We try to ensure that all homeowners live in a clean, safe and sanitary environment.
When you join the Windrows community, we talk about what your weekly housekeeping will entail, as well as setting the dates and times your home will be serviced. All rooms in your house are cleaned weekly and dryer lint traps are emptied and cleaned. Housekeepers use only their own equipment and supplies, so you can reserve your own vacuum for only an occasional touch-up between housekeeping dates. If for some reason you will be away on a scheduled housekeeping date, that's not a problem; if you chose, your home will still be serviced on that date, and will be clean when you return.
Our fully-trained, supervised and vetted housekeeping staff have been with us for years, and their dedication and work ethic are outstanding. They, like all our staff, are cherished members of the Windrows community, and are treated as such.
Weekly housekeeping services are based on the square footage of your home for the time allotted for cleaning. Housekeeping pays close attention to any allergies or special needs you might have regarding cleaning. If you need additional or specialized services at an hourly rate, these needs can be communicated to Housekeeping 24 hours a day.
Routine maintenance and upkeep are a big priority at Princeton Windrows, to keep everything inside and outside our homes looking and functioning as new as possible. This includes upkeep and maintenance to home exteriors and repair or replacement of a homeowner's furnace, water heater and HVAC system.
Assessing equipment, repairing it, or replacing it are no longer your concern.
