Michelle’s Above and Beyond Cleaning

Twenty-three Google ratings, a 5-star average, and the same job keeps coming up: the deep clean. Michelle's Above and Beyond Cleaning runs out of 42 Whitman St in Bridgewater, and the person cleaning your house is the person who owns it — BBB lists Michelle Burns as owner of what it records as a one-employee cleaning service. The company's own account is that Michelle began cleaning for family and friends in the 1980s, took over her mother-in-law's established client list in the late 1990s, and licensed and insured the business in 2001 — about 25 years by its own count, working Bridgewater, Raynham, Middleboro, Taunton and Halifax. What customers write about is unusually specific for a cleaning service: the parts of a house people skip. A homeowner in April 2026 listed what got covered on a full day's deep clean — vents, baseboards, light fixtures, windows — and said nothing was missed. A November 2025 customer made the same point about baseboards and behind appliances. In August 2025, someone prepping an early-1900s condo for incoming tenants said the windows, outlets and "nooks and crannies" were all done, pets and all. The pattern after that first visit is recurring work. One Bridgewater customer moved to a monthly schedule after a single job; others describe her arriving on the agreed day, staying flexible when plans shift, and working around dogs and kids. A reviewer in April 2025 whose father is elderly said she had been cleaning his house on a standing basis for some time. Another customer, writing in August 2025, said she sought the business out as a woman-owned local operation and that Michelle works alongside her sister. The one note that isn't glowing is price. A reviewer in May 2025 who otherwise recommended the work thought it ran high for a small house — worth settling the quote for your square footage up front, especially since the company says the first visit is always a deep clean before any recurring schedule starts. Its BBB page is an A-, not accredited, with the grade attributed to length of time in business and no complaints or government actions listed. One caveat on the written history: every one of those Google reviews was posted from April 2025 onward, so the online trail is short even if the business isn't. Good call for a household that wants one person doing the whole job — a move-out reset, a spring overhaul, or a monthly rotation — and she also clears garages and hauls junk, which a September 2025 customer used to empty and organize theirs. Confirm the deep-clean price and what a recurring visit covers when you book.
