GCS Services

Snow in January, lawns in July, and a cleaning crew inside the house in between — GCS Services Group covers all of it from Newbury, Massachusetts. Its Better Business Bureau page puts the company at 21 years in business, working across the North Shore of Massachusetts and into New Hampshire. The BBB lists the work as professional maids and cleaning service, landscaping service, and snow removal, plowing and salting, and grades the company A+. That mix suits a homeowner who wants the same company mowing in July and plowing the driveway in January. Before booking, put the scope in writing — which properties, how often, and whether salting is billed per storm or per season — and ask for a current certificate of insurance for any crew working inside the house.
