JaMa Professional Cleaning, Inc.

Read the homeowner reviews for JaMa Professional Cleaning and one name keeps surfacing: Maria. Customers writing between 2017 and 2020 name her over and over — she scheduled the job, she showed up with the crew, she worked around the dog. That is the shape of this Hyde Park company: a small Boston operation where the person booking the work is the person on site. It works both halves of the trade. Its own site describes janitorial, floor care, post-construction, disinfecting and window cleaning for offices, banks, schools and houses of worship around Boston, under the joint name Boston Green Commercial Cleaners & JaMa Professional Cleaning. On HomeAdvisor the same company sells maid service and one-time interior house cleaning to homeowners, and lists 15 years in business, Spanish spoken, free estimates and emergency service — all the company's own claims. HomeAdvisor also shows an ISSA membership on that page, which is the directory's listing rather than a confirmed credential. The homeowner history runs deep but old. HomeAdvisor puts the company at 4.8 stars from 32 ratings, 88 percent of them five-star, and the 23 written accounts span 2017 to 2023 with the newest dated May 2023. The jobs people describe are the hard ones. A 2017 reviewer had a seven-room apartment that had sat unlived-in for a decade with construction dust on every surface, said three other firms could not take it, and wrote that this crew did the ceilings, walls, woodwork and closets in a single day. Move-out cleans come up repeatedly through 2018, and in a May 2017 review a homeowner mentioned the cleaners finding a leak under her sink mid-job. Two things are worth raising, and both are specific rather than vague. In June 2018 a customer described the company as a bit tough to schedule. In September 2017 another said it was hard to get hold of them and that the price ran high for the work done, though she still recommended them; the company replied publicly that the job was post-construction detailing and priced as such. Nothing negative in the written history touches the quality of the cleaning itself — the friction is about reaching them and what it costs. If you want a crew for a move-out, a post-renovation clean, or standing janitorial work in Boston, this is a reasonable call — with the caveat that the last homeowner wrote about them in 2023. Ask what current scheduling and pricing look like, confirm who will actually be on site, and get the estimate in writing before booking.
