# Newton, MA **Trade:** House Cleaning · **Languages:** English **Rating: 2.8/5** (low confidence) — from 5 reviews across 1 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read DS Construction and Maintenance, Inc. is a Newton cleaning company customers call for commercial and house cleaning — deep cleans, move-outs, and recurring upkeep. Its Thumbtack profile puts it at 31 years in business, with a 5.0 rating from 42 ratings and 98% of raters giving five stars. The five written reviews on file all date to 2020 and 2021, and the same pattern runs through them: crews that show up early, communicate ahead of the job, and leave a home noticeably cleaner than they found it. In a 2021 review, a customer described the team arriving 30 minutes early to a garden-level Newton apartment and leaving it 'more organized than before'; another 2021 review described a deep clean thorough enough that the customer booked biweekly upkeep afterward, adding they 'catch every speck of dirt and dust' down to vacuuming under rugs and a dog bed. A 2020 customer recovering from a hospital stay called the crew responsive, trustworthy, and highly professional. Worth knowing before calling: every review on the profile predates 2022, so there's no more recent written account of the crew's work — worth confirming current availability and pricing directly. For a Newton-area house or move-out clean, the write-ups describe a company that communicates well and pays attention to detail; get a current quote and ask what's changed since those reviews were written. **Strengths:** - Consistent five-star reviews — 98% of 42 Thumbtack ratings - Detail-oriented cleaning — reviewers cite vacuuming under rugs and pet beds - Responsive communication — reviewers describe advance notice and early arrivals **Concerns:** - Dated written reviews — the five on file run 2020–2021 ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Thumbtack lists a 5.0 rating from 42 ratings, with 98% five-star _(confidence: high)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/newton/house-cleaning/ds-construction-maintenance-inc/service/405278016844038152) — “Thumbtack: 5.0★ from 42 ratings” - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/newton/house-cleaning/ds-construction-maintenance-inc/service/405278016844038152) — “Thumbtack star distribution: 98% 5★ · 2% 4★ (of 42 ratings)” - The company's Thumbtack profile states 31 years in business _(confidence: medium)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/newton/house-cleaning/ds-construction-maintenance-inc/service/405278016844038152) — “DS Construction and Maintenance, Inc.'s Thumbtack commercial/house cleaning profile in Newton, MA (zip 02458): Exceptional 5.0 rating from 4…” - Thumbtack lists Commercial Cleaning and House Cleaning as the services offered _(confidence: high)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/newton/house-cleaning/ds-construction-maintenance-inc/service/405278016844038152) — “Services offered (Thumbtack): Commercial Cleaning, House Cleaning” - A 2021 review described a crew that arrived early and left a Newton apartment 'more organized than before' _(confidence: medium)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/newton/house-cleaning/ds-construction-maintenance-inc/service/405278016844038152) — “Team did an absolute pristine job on my garden level apartment in Newton!
