Terms of Service
Open communication
At Less Stress Home Services, we understand that effective communication is critical to your overall satisfaction with our service. We encourage our customers to let us know if there are any specific needs, concerns, or instructions they would like our Home Helpers to follow. We also ask that our customers promptly notify us if they are unsatisfied with any aspect of our service, so we can work together to address any issues and improve our service. Our goal is to provide exceptional service that meets or exceeds your expectations, and we believe that open communication is the key to achieving that goal.
EQUIPMENT/SUPPLIES/INGREDIENTS
All necessary equipment and supplies required for a cleaning service will be provided by LSHS. Ingredients for meal prep, or other items necessary to complete a Chore Helper service must be provided by the homeowner.
PAYMENT
We prefer payment by credit card, but also accept checks (written to: Less Stress Home Services) for payment of services. If requested to run an errand any expense incurred while conducting a service, including mileage, will be added to the customer’s bill and charged at the end of the service.
Payment is expected at the time of service. Receipts will be emailed upon the conclusion of the service. Please note that a $30.00 fee will be assessed for any checks returned by the customer’s bank.
SECURITY/ENTRY
We prefer not to be responsible for key retention, and therefore request other arrangements be made to access your home. Preferred ways to access your home include providing us an electronic door code, hiding a key and letting us know where it’s hidden, or leaving the door unlocked. For safety reasons, we lock the door behind us and will lock the home when we leave.
JOB START/END TIMES
LATE CANCELLATIONS/ LOCKOUT FEES
We understand schedules change. We ask that you provide us with 48-hour notice to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations later than 48 hours are subject to the lower of $150 or the cost of the cleaning. The same fee will be charged if we cannot gain access to your home when we arrive for our scheduled service. This policy is in place because our technicians rely upon these wages, and a last-minute cancellation can leave them without work for the day.
PETS
SICKNESS
If someone in your home is sick (contagious) please contact our office by 7:30 am if possible, to let us know so that we have time to remove you from the team’s schedule and waive the late cancel feel. We will be happy to reschedule your cleaning to a day when you are feeling better.
