Introduction
Marika's Home Services focuses on the needs of each individual client. I started my business in San Jose in 1993, after realizing that a frighteningly large number of service providers have a laundry list of services that they don't provide. My service is strikingly different, in as much as the client determines the services he/ she receives. One client may need deep cleaning, another may need errands, shopping, laundry, dry cleaning, meal planning, meal prep, party help, child pick up/ drop off, pet care. My goal has always been to serve my clients and meet their needs. I take great pride in my work and the services my company provides and deeply understand the importance of excellence in customer service. I enjoy the diversity of assignments. No two clients are the same and no two clients' needs are the same. I enjoy the relationships I have built with my clients over the years. I enjoy making people's lives just that much easier when they don't have to worry about the house, or the delivery that's arriving during their business meeting, or how they're going to take Johnny to soccer practice, Fluffy to the vet , drop the dry cleaning off and have dinner on the table by 6:00. Whether it's a one time residential cleaning, regularly scheduled residential cleaning,construction clean-up, move in/out cleaning, property clean-up, commercial cleaning, vacation rental cleaning, errands, shopping, laundry, meal planning/preparation, party preparation, party help, party clean-up, pet services or helping take the kids to practice, tutoring, appointments, etc. my company's services are designed to do just that.....serve my clients.

Just WOW!! I’m beyond impressed with Marika! She by far exceeded my expectations and then some. She and her business partner worked their tails off and did an excellent job. Very professional and detailed with a strong work ethic. I will hire her again and I highly recommend her services.

She handled things professionally but end of the day, I am not satisfied with the work quality. Did not turn up for a followup job that was promised.

Hi Madan, We've had several conversations, but I'm just now reading this post. I'm so sorry that you were not satisfied with our work. At the time of service, you were quite happy with what we were able to do, complimenting us on our attention to detail. There was an issue with the stove top & it was going to require a second visit to bring it back to its original brilliance. As a courtesy, I offered to comp the return visit. We agreed that you would reach out to me with a range of days that would work for a return visit. More than a month after we had been there to do the initial cleaning, you contacted me about a day to return. You stated that a tenant had moved in & would be there to meet us. You further stated,although you had been happy with the initial cleaning, a month after that initial cleaning, you were unhappy & had noticed areas that needed attention. I asked if your tenant had been using those areas & you said yes. I stated that I would be happy to take care of the stovetop,as previously agreed, at no charge, but wasn't comfortable with additional comped cleaning. You did not schedule a date for the return (stove) visit, therefore I'm confused by your statement that I did not return as promised.

Marika took great care of the home we stayed in and took the time to hang new shower curtains we had set aside. Fantastic work.

I hired Marika's Home Services. Dee showed up right on time ready to work. I've used house cleaning services for years and for the last two years I've gone through plenty. I'm thrilled at the work Dee did today. I'll admit I'm extremely picky. But low and behold I have finally found a four star service! I will have Dee come every other week. Thank goodness I finally found a service that actually cleans to my expectations.
