"I clean as if my own family was living there!"

Original Article: Hello Philly Area! After 18 years, our family is PHINALLY coming home!
I followed my dream to create things for the world. This lead me to GE engineering away from PA and our family. But the corporate world stuck a dagger in my WHY of FAMILY after completely selling out for 12 months. My hero and VP of Engineering said. “If you want my job, you can't have a personal life. I live in Greenville and my wife lives in Atlanta."
This rocked my world to the core, hitting me right in the WHY. Family. That's not me. Thus, I exchanged the GE logo on my shirt to my own company logo in 2005. During these last 13 years, we've enjoyed incredible flexibility & freedom with our family of 7. And the work itself has been SO rewarding. I've been blessed with the opportunity to be a member of so many families and realtor teams over the years. Yes, I cleaned for them, but it was so much more. They have been my surrogate families as ours was 5 hours away. As hard as it was to leave, the Carfagnos are PHINALLY coming back home to enjoy FAMILY, clean for YOU, and coach other cleaning owners nationally who also want more time with their families.
Here are some quick survey questions to discover if hiring Carfagno Cleaning is right for you:
- Would you like to trade your cleaning time for family time or "me" time? This is the #1 reason why families have hired me over the years. They don’t have the time.
- Is the upkeep of your home overwhelming and you'd like to just pay someone to do it? Many families have upgraded their homes or their job situation has changed and they get overwhelmed at the thought of cleaning their house on the weekend.
- Are you unhappy with your current cleaning service? Unfortunately, accountability and consistent high quality are uncommon in the cleaning world. Just treating people right and having excellence sets me apart as “uncommon”.
- Do you miss having a cleaning service and it's time to hire again? Seasons of life change and I have always understood that a family may hire me for 2 years and then let me go, only to return 2 years later. Are you in a season right now where a reliable, high-quality cleaning service would change the dynamic in your home?
WHY would you hire Carfagno Cleaning? That's simple. We share values and that builds trust.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Do you have a team or work alone? I clean solo. Always have, always will. You get me every time.
- What services do you offer? I do presentation cleaning for houses & small offices. I also offer window cleaning, real estate & apartment presentation services.
- Do you bring your own supplies? Yes, I bring everything with me. I use eco-friendly cleaners and a multiple stage HEPA backpack vac to clean your home. My NY clients have always loved the smell of my products and they loved to tease me about my vacuum, calling me a ghostbuster. But man, does that thing SUCK!
- Are you insured? Yes, Carfagno Cleaning, Inc is a NY-based corporation that is registered to do business in PA. I carry $1M per Occurrence / $2M Aggregate of General Liability Insurance. I pay payroll & sales taxes. This question is vital as many cleaning “businesses” are not really businesses at all. They are people cleaning under the table. If you hire one, you take on a lot of risk as any liability can fall onto you.
- How do you price? I don’t have a set price list, rather a process to quote your home or job properly. It all starts with a phone call and ends with an in-person estimate and follow up proposal with multiple price options for recurring cleaning. If you are inquiring about a 1-time or real estate presentation cleaning price, I start with a phone call and look to give a ballpark range based on your project. If you like what I have to say and my range, you schedule the work. The job starts after we shake on a final price. In general, my prices are on the upper end as I provide high detail, high value & high reliability.
- How far out do you book? If you are looking for a recurring service, I keep a waiting list. I have learned in my 14 years of working solo, it is never wise to over promise. I under promise and over deliver. If you are looking for a 1-time or real estate presentation clean, I typically book out 1-2 weeks.
- Do you charge for estimates? Nope. Just contact me if you like my story and we’ll start with a phone call. We can judge whether I’m the right company for you or your family.
- Do you have references from NY? Yes, see my REVIEWS page.
