About Ready Maids

We're not your
cleaning company.
We're who you call
when you want one.

Ready Maids is a California-licensed Domestic Referral Agency. We connect Bay Area homeowners with vetted, independent cleaners we'd trust in our own homes — and we've been doing it from Concord since 2018.

Our story

Built around a
simple problem.

Most people don't actually want to manage a cleaning company. They want a clean house, with someone they trust, on a schedule that works. The cleaning industry doesn't make that easy. Big chains rotate strangers through your home every week. Independent cleaners are great — if you can find a good one, vet them yourself, handle the paperwork, and replace them when life happens.

Ready Maids was built to make that decision once, on your behalf. We do the vetting. We do the matching. You get a cleaner who actually shows up — the same cleaner, every visit, for as long as the fit works.

"After 15 years cleaning Bay Area homes, I knew exactly what was missing. Not another cleaning company — a way to make the trust part easy."— Founder, Ready Maids · Concord, CA
How a referral agency works

The model
is simpler
than it sounds.

California's Domestic Referral Agency framework lets us host and connect to good independent housekeepers without the legal mess of becoming the employer.

The cleaners are independent professionals
Not Ready Maids employees. They run their own cleaning businesses. We refer you to the right one.
We do all the vetting on your behalf
Background checks, references, work history, insurance verification. Every cleaner clears our standard before we refer them.
Cleaners set their own rates
You see honest pricing direct from the professional doing the work. No agency markup, no surprise fees on top of their bill.
You pay the cleaner. We handle the introduction
Ready Maids is paid for the introduction and the back-end support. Simple, transparent, regulated by California law.
How we vet

Four checks before
any cleaner gets your address.

We'd rather refer fewer cleaners and refer them well. Here's everything that happens before we'll send someone your way.

01
Background check
Full criminal background screen through a licensed third party. No exceptions, no shortcuts.
02
Reference verification
Three professional cleaning references called and confirmed. We talk to actual past clients.
03
Insurance & bonding
Proof of liability insurance and bonding before they're added to our roster. We keep current copies on file.
04
In-person interview
Final walkthrough with our team. We meet every cleaner. We say no when it's not a fit.

What we believe

Three rules
we won't break.

If we ever quietly drop one of these, you should fire us. They're not posters in our office — they're how every referral decision gets made.

Quality over volume
We refer fewer cleaners than our competitors. We turn down homeowners we can't serve well. Growth is not the goal — the right match is.
Cleaners are partners
The professionals we refer are how we exist. We pay them fairly, we don't undercut their rates, and we won't move them between homes to chase a buck.
Honest before easy
If a deep clean is what you actually need, we say so. If we can't fit your schedule, we say so. If a cleaner isn't a fit, we re-match. We won't sell around the truth.
The Ready Maids team

The people
doing the matching.

A small team running the agency from Concord. Most of us came up cleaning homes ourselves — which is exactly why we're picky about who we'll send into yours.
