Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose Impress Service over a national cleaning franchise?
Impress Service is locally owned and operated in Delaware — meaning your money stays in the community, your cleaner is the same person every visit, and our protocols are customized for Delaware-specific challenges like coastal salt air, red clay soil, and historic home preservation. National franchises rotate staff, use generic protocols, and often charge extra for eco-friendly products that we include standard.
Do franchise cleaning companies have better insurance?
Not necessarily. Impress Service LLC carries the same level of general liability insurance ($1M+) as any national franchise. The difference is we provide documentation upfront and proactively — you never have to ask. Many independent cleaners carry no insurance at all, putting your property at risk.
Are franchise cleaning prices lower?
Often, franchise quotes appear lower initially but include upsells — eco-friendly products cost extra, deep cleaning is an add-on, and many require long-term contracts. Impress Service includes eco-friendly products standard, offers transparent upfront pricing, and never requires contracts. Our bi-weekly recurring rate of $100–$150/visit is competitive with or better than franchise pricing.
What happens if a franchise cleaner damages my property?
With franchises, you navigate corporate call centers and often wait weeks for resolution. With Impress Service, you call (302) 618-2167 and speak directly with ownership. Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee means we return within 24 hours to fix any issue — free of charge. Our insurance covers damage immediately.
Do you serve the same areas as franchise cleaners?
We serve all three Delaware counties — New Castle, Kent, and Sussex — from Wilmington to Fenwick Island. Franchise territories are often limited, meaning a franchise that cleans your Wilmington office may not service your Rehoboth Beach rental. One call to Impress Service covers your entire Delaware footprint.
