ShineOn Boston INC

I was so excited when I spoke to Chis the owner and he told me he could rearrange some things to be able to clean my house on Friday. He asked me to send him my address, which I did. He said he would give me several times to choose from. He never got back to me and needless to say Friday came and went and no cleaning service ever came. I was having guests over on Saturday and would have loved to focus on the prep for the party not the cleaning. I would have dealt with it if he had the decency to tell me he was not able to come that week.

My experience with shine on Boston has been extremely positive! They are dependable, trustworthy and do an excellent job!
Chris is very communicative and easy to get a hold of, which is a breath of fresh air. I cannot stress enough how great of a job they do. I live in a very old 3 floor home and they make it shine, no pun intended.
I live with 3 roommates and we all get so excited when it is time for ShineOn to come, we have been using them once a month since May.
The prices are reasonable and they are easy to work with. I found shine on through Unilocal,so I wanted to write a review for others who are considering using the service, I 100% suggest it!

I am writing another review for this company. I called Shine on Boston asking if they could fit me in on such short notice. The owner didn’t have a problem with that
He sent Edwin and Esmilda to my house within 2 hours. I just asked the two of them to clean my house as if it was their house. They did an excellent job in 2 hours
I would recommend these 2 individuals highly if you are looking for someone to clean your house

I am very happy with my experience this past weekend with ShineOn Boston. I had two cleaners, Nando and Celso, clean my one bedroom apartment for two hours with an add on to have my couch cleaned. They got right to work and two hours later my apartment was spotless. Both men were very nice and professional as well. I will definitely use them again!

My pictures back up this review. And let me start by saying I truly believe Chris, the owner, has good intentions as he was available the entire time during this process. Unfortunately, I think there is a major difference between a deep clean and a weekly clean. We asked for the deep clean. huge job — 4500 sq ft. We were up front about the scale of the job and we were assured they could handle it. They could not. The bottom line is I needed attention to detail as there are 30 cabinet/​drawers in the kitchen. Half were clean, half were not even looked at (see the pics)
I paid over $ 800 for 3 people to clean for 8 hours. When they were done the kitchen was absolutely disgusting.
Chris attempted to make this right by discounting another cleaning we had scheduled at our old apartment. That occurred today and was equally as poor.
Very very disappointed, had to clean additional 2 hours in the kitchen alone and out almost $ 950.
Find a real cleaning service if you need a deep clean.

Shine On Boston is simply the best! Chris, the Manager, is super friendly and responsive. I also love that it’s locally owned and operated. I don’t think I’ll ever go with another company again. My apartment was cleaned immaculately for a reasonable price, so I decided to hire them for my business too. Super important for me: the products they use are environmentally conscious and did not feel harsh or smell offensive like other cleaning companies. Keep Shining, Shine On!

ShineOn cleans our showroom and offices once a week and our clients always compliment us on how clean our showroom is! They’re great and the people who come are super friendly!
I found out they did residential cleaning as well so I started having them come to my apartment. It was much less expensive than I was expecting and it is soooo nice to come home after work after they’ve cleaned. They’ve been in my apartment a handful of times so far and I have yet to have an issue!

I just walked into my apartment after a long day at work and couldn’t believe how spotless my place looks! You can’t go wrong with these guys! They do amazing work, are professional and give excellent customer service. I use them weekly to clean my place of business. They did such a great job at my apartment… I may have to make that a weekly habit too:)

I had Shine On Boston clean a vacant apartment with 2 bathrooms. They did an awesome job. Tub and shower were spotless. Hardwood floors; carpeted areas; windows; oven; and everything else I can think of was cleaned thoroughly. They do it all and it is do it right. Chis was easy to work with in terms of scheduling. He personally checked the apartment out after his guys finished and followed up with me about a window that they could not get 100% clean due to a previously existing issue with the window. Good service all through the process from setting up appointment, the actual cleaning and then the follow up phone call. The price for the cleaning is also good.

We’ve been using Shine On Boston for almost a year now. They come on a three week basis for an overall clean. I like that they use environmental friendly products and chat up my animals.

We’ve had Shine On Boston clean our place three times now, and each time I’ve been very happy with their work. The teams show up on time, are friendly, and do a good thorough cleaning. Pricing is competitive, and Chris (the owner) is both flexible with scheduling and prompt with responding. I highly recommend them!

We recently purchased an older home outside of the city. Before we moved in, we had some minor interior work done (painting, etc). I searched Unilocal for highly recommended companies and received a few bids, but Shine On’s owner, Chris, got back to me first and was accommodating, so we went with them. I explained to him that we needed post-​construction cleaning. Chris estimated it would take two people 4.5 hours and about $ 300, which is decent for a really thorough cleaning.
It was terrible. They sent two men, one of which had no idea how to clean. He told me he was a painter and gave me his business card. The ‘cleaners’ split the house in two, so that when they left, literally one one side of the house was (remotely) clean. The other side hadn’t been touched, and I’m not just talking the tough-​to-​clean construction dust-​which I fully understand can be a challenge.
There was caked soap in all of the showers, dull water spots on all of the faucets and fixtures indicating that they were not touched at all. Every windowsill, doorsill, mantel, or horizontal edge was covered in dust (thank God we hadn’t had furniture moved in yet). The cleaners were here for 3, not 4.5 hours.
I wish I had walked through the house before they left, but naively, I paid them and walked through afterward. I’m a big, ‘you-​get-​what-​you-​pay-​for’ kind of person and for the price (same price, but less time??), expected a thorough job.
I texted Chris immediately after walking through it and he said someone could come back the following day. The same gentleman who clearly could not clean returned with a manager who said he was going to teach him since he was new.
I’m all about being patient and having someone new learn in the beginning, however, I am also a small business owner. I would never send a brand new employee out to a big job and expect that it be done correctly without proper training. It’s unfair to the new employee AND the paying client. If this were my business, I would have reimbursed the client for using their time (and dime) to train a new employee, but that was not the case. Even after the manager and new employee left for the second time, I had to scrub the rest of the house.
We recently hired a highly recommended company for regular cleanings and everything is gleaming. The cleaners are incredibly efficient, thorough and the price point is fair and competitive. The house looks incredible after they leave which was not the case even after the second visit from Shine On.
One last note – make sure the cleaning company you hire is bonded and insured. It helps to guarantee their work and you’re covered. I don’t believe Shine On is bonded or insured from visiting their website.

We use Shine On at my retail store location on Newbury Street. I wish I could go to the highest mountain top and scream «SHINE ON IS THE BEST». Chris and his team are extremely reliable, professional and just such an all around friendly team. I first used Shine On back one day in May when I found out at 6pm that I needed to book a cleaner for the store the next morning. Chris called me back as soon as he could (after normal business hours) and was able to send a team over when we needed them. Chris even stopped by during the cleaning to introduce himself. The service that day blew me away and I knew this was the team to continue to build a relationship with.
Our showroom sparkles each and every day because of Shine On, even on the days that they aren’t in to clean. I’ve been singing their praises to all my friends and family for the past six months.
Seriously. Home or office, this is the team to work with.

Our friend purchased a full house clean for us prior to our leaving for our out-​of-​state wedding. It was SO amazing to come home to the incredible work of the Shine on Boston crew! They cleaned things that I didn’t even know needed to be cleaned! I am talking eat off the floors level of clean, with even the rims on the flour and coffee canisters being spotless. They work quickly but do not miss anything. It has been a week and a half since they left and our house still looks spotless. I should mention that we have 2 cats and 2 dogs, and so you can only imagine how much work needs to be done to get everything spotless. Coordinating a schedule with the owner Chris was painless and he responded to all of our emails quite promptly. We are definitely using Shine on Boston again!

I used Shine On to clean my new apartment before I moved in. The place was empty so it didnt take them long. They have a minimum charge for 1.5 hours and it took less time than that but I was happy to pay the rate (I have a studio). I changed the appointment time, multiple times and Chris was very accomodating. The cleaners were ahead of schedule and they called ahead of time. Chris also gave me their minimum charge. The two guys who came were friendly and offered to text me when they were finished so I could leave for a bit. They followed my instructions for the most part. The only reason I am giving 4 out of 5 is that the the windowsills and base boards were still dusty but the floor was spotless and I asked them to «give the tub/​bathroom hell» and it was very clean. I would definitely use them again!

i can’t say enough good things about this service!
i’m 9 months pregnant and i was looking for a place where i could get my apt deep cleaned before the baby comes (i’m talking cleaning the oven, cleaning the grossness out of the fridge, etc). i emailed a bunch of places i found on Unilocal and got ridiculous quotes (over $ 200 and all they’d do basically is clean the bathroom and the floors). Chris was super responsive and got back to me right away with a very reasonable estimate. we were able to arrange the appointment via email, which i very much appreciated (other places insisted on doing a pre-​appointment to do an estimate, then another appointment to actually get the cleaning done. no thanks). the staff that came were very nice. they actually ended up spending FOUR HOURS cleaning everything, but it was money well spent– i keep finding things that they cleaned that i didn’t realize they did, even small stuff like cleaning the knobs on my stove, vacuuming out the fan, cleaning my toaster oven so it was sparkly clean, etc. the attention to detail they paid was incredible. my husband and i keep joking about not wanting to cook or use our apt at all to keep it that clean! paying was also super easy — we were able to do so online.
i would definitely recommend shine on. i’m hoping we can find a way to budget for their services after the baby comes.

I’ve been using ShineOn for about 4 months now and am extremely pleased with how great of a job they have done. Chris is very reliable and does an excellent job of vetting his employees for only people who are friendly, hard working and reliable themselves.
Chris’ rates were also the most reasonable of the companies I got quotes from — including Maid Pro which I previously had. Don’t get me started on how excited I was to get away from the big cleaning services…

Christopher the owner of Shine on Boston is a delight to work with. Smart, personable, funny and very accommodating. I needed someone to clean my personal training studio after hours and was having such trouble finding this! He scheduled Ed (my knight in shining armor!) to come at 8pm and when I come in the next morning the place is sparkling! Thank you Chris and Ed!
Shine on isn’t the cheapest or the most expensive, but they are efficient and you’ll be happy they came!

Had an urgent matter where my dog had an accident on my neighbors couch. I called Shine ON and owner Chris took care of me right away. I had called another place prior and the person returned my call 4 hours later so I appreciated the fact I was able to talk about my issue right away.
Chris himself was able to come the following day and took care of the stain on the couch and did a great job. My neighbors loved it and plan on having them clean his couch next year seeing what a great job he did.
He’s very personable and reliable which is key!

In need of someone to make it spotless before my fastidious grandmother comes to visit for the weekend, I found Shine On, and I’m thrilled with how our apt looks.
Floors are thoroughly cleansed, the fridge has never looked so shiny, and not a speck of dust left in the place.
Chris, the owner, is really easy to communicate with, and scheduling is easy.
For a 2 bedroom initial clean, it’s $ 125 for 2.5 hours ($ 25/​hour for each person he brings), but I think the biweekly rate for a place of our size is $ 95. Highly recommended if you’re looking for someone to scrub your tub.
