Must I be at home when you clean my house?
It’s your choice. Some of Affordable Maids’ customers are home. Some are home to let the maids in, then leave. Some customers hide a key somewhere outside, some customers purchase a lockbox and provide us with the code (available at any home depot, lock store, amazon under $20, or we can mail you one)
It is also becoming more and more common for more customers to install an electronic access lock for your door such as this inexpensive, easy to install unit Kwikset . Or if you have an alarm company such as ADT, they now sell electronic door locks which you can access by code or control panel on your mobile device.
Many customers also provide us with a key. When providing keys, we require 3 copies of your keys in case of any unexpected or sudden change in your schedule or maid’s absence. If you prefer to just provide 1 copy, we can make 2 copies as long as the key you provide is a good original.
