What Best Maids, Inc. does

Best Maids, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned residential and small-office cleaning company headquartered in Orland Park, Illinois. Founded in 1999, the company has operated for more than 25 years under continuous family ownership with no external investors, parent company, or public listing. It serves homeowners, renters, apartment and condo dwellers, busy households, and small professional offices (under 10,000 sq. ft.) across the Chicago metropolitan area and nearby suburbs including Tinley Park, Oak Lawn, Homer Glen, Lemont, Downers Grove, and Oak Park.

The company delivers a portfolio of six core cleaning services: recurring house cleaning (weekly, biweekly, or every-four-week), deep cleaning, move-out cleaning, one-time cleaning, apartment/condo/townhome cleaning, and small office cleaning, supplemented by cleaning gift cards and a content blog. Services are performed by trained, background-checked, insured, and bonded cleaning professionals; the company offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee with a 24-hour remediation window and emphasizes eco-friendly product options. Underlying technology is limited to a MaidCentral-powered client portal for scheduling and account management, a website with instant online quoting, and standard digital marketing infrastructure (Google Analytics, Google Ads with remarketing, and social channels on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube).

Best Maids generates revenue primarily through per-visit service fees (approximately $120–$300 for standard cleans, $180–$400+ for deep cleans, and $200–$500+ for move-out cleans) and recurring subscription engagements (weekly, biweekly, or every-four-week; monthly billing cadence) for both residential and small-office clients. Gift cards provide a secondary one-time transactional revenue stream. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer with no intermediary channels: customers obtain instant pricing online, schedule via the website, or call/text 708-599-7000, and services are delivered in-home by company staff. A minor partnership with the nonprofit Cleaning For A Reason extends community presence without altering the core operating model.
