R & J Cleaning sevices & Maintenance - Rockland, Massachusetts

R & J Cleaning Services & Maintenance, based in Rockland, Massachusetts, offers residential and commercial cleaning, deep cleans, carpet cleaning, organizing, and move-in/move-out cleaning — and one pattern keeps showing up in the reviews: real estate agents and homeowners calling them in to get a house ready to sell or empty. Across 34 Google reviews spanning 2022 to 2026 — 42 ratings, all but one of them five stars — that pattern holds from the earliest reviews to the most recent one this spring. The company says it started as a family-owned operation in 2013. Reviewers back up the longevity: in 2025 reviews, one customer described 13 years of having the crew keep her home clean, another described 9 years with the same result. Names come up specifically and repeatedly rather than a generic stand-in for "the team" — Ricardo running crews on restoration and fire-cleanup jobs, Nisi leading a standing weekly clean, Cesar and Alenilce credited on individual projects. Fire and smoke cleanup shows up more than once, not as a one-off: a 2025 review described R&J working as a cleaning vendor for a restoration and moving business, a 2024 review described cleanup after a kitchen fire, and a 2022 review described cleanup after separate fire damage. In the kitchen-fire case, the 2024 review said the crew flagged up front that some of the smoke staining on the walls and ceiling likely wouldn't fully lift — and it didn't, exactly as warned going in. Pricing comes up unprompted, and it leans favorable: a 2025 review called it an "honest price, scope done right," another gave it a "100% recommendation" specifically on the price. There's no complaint anywhere across four years of reviews, and no licensing issue to report — Massachusetts doesn't require registration for house cleaning. Worth knowing before calling: the fire-related jobs described here are cleanup, not rebuilding — this is a cleaning crew, not a restoration contractor. For a deep clean, a move-out, or a post-incident cleanup, four years of reviews point the same direction.
