Sweeps

I had a very large housecleaning job and a very short timetable I had a response within minutes and was able to confirm the job for the very next day within hours. Their website for reserving a job is excellent — they were very responsive. Tyler and Marina were my «Sweepers». They both showed up right on time, were professional and courteous, and did a very thorough job cleaning. My only negative point is that they were not the most efficient — they were here for 3 hours and cleaned five of six rooms in my house. However, they did such a thorough job, and my house was not very clean (three cats and a dog!!) so I can’t really fault them for that. Overall, I would absolutely use this service again and recommend it for a friend. One suggestion for the owners; I wish there was a way to tip the Sweepers via the website. Potential customers: if you are planning to tip, make sure you have cash ahead of time. I forgot to get cash and couldn’t figure out how to tip via the website, and they definitely deserved a tip.

SWEEPS left me in the lurch — big time! I signed up for Sweeps moving services about 4 days before the move & they confirmed it immediately. (the person on the other end sounded very young… almonst childish). They sent out 3 promotional emails based on the confirmation. So far, so good, right? Then, the day before the big move, they called & Said «We’re not going to be available for your move» I asked why. NO ANSWER. NOTHING. I said, you are putting us in a very tough spot — Why are you doing this? Why are you cancelling? What’s going on? NO ANSWER. Well, they didn’t show, and had to hurriedly find another moving company (which was another fail…). Based on this experience, I’d call the company incompetent and pathetic

I had to move a small-​ish amount of stuff out of one apartment into another in the same complex… I say small-​ish because this move included a few small dressers, a few boxes, and also a queen mattress and box spring.
I was worried about moving the bed. We had no truck and were hoping to strap it onto our car. Luckily, this wasn’t a problem for the Sweepers assigned. One of them had an SUV and he was so gracious and offered to help us by using it for the bed! They loaded the mattress on top, held on with their arms, and hiked it over to my new place. I was amazed that it worked but it did! Both sweepers were very nice, young, strong guys. We were happy to tip them well for a job well done.
I would happily hire Sweeps again for our next move. On top of the Sweepers being efficient and friendly, the price was very reasonable.

As I look through the positive reviews I realize most of them are in regard to Sweepers who helped during a move. Perhaps I should have hired them to move my stuff, rather than clean my kitchen.
I hired a Sweeper for a move-​out clean for my kitchen and on the day of the appointment she canceled 30 mins. before she arrived. Morris was great in getting two people to reschedule for the next day. I moved out that night, headed out of town, and expected them to clean according the instructions I left in the comment section of the job posting. After I paid for the service a few days later my property manager sent me photos of the kitchen which had not been cleaned appropriately.
I contacted Morris and he got two more people there the next day to clean. I assumed that after 4 Sweepers had been through the kitchen that it would be clean. My property manager sent more photos documenting the job had not been done after the second time and ended up contracting out to a professional company to handle the job. So I ended up having to pay for two companies to clean the kitchen.
Morris was good about communicating and scrambling to fix things when I reached out, although I never heard back after I sent an email this week informing them the job just hadn’t been completed after a second round. I clearly can’t give them more than two stars when I had to pay for work that wasn’t completed and it set my tenants back a day when we had to get another company in to clean. I do believe this company of college students is probably great at moving, tech help, yard work, etc., but professional cleaning, at least from my experience with them, is not one of their strong skills.

I worked for Sweeps for two years. As a female, I can’t say I did a moving job ever, but everything else as an odd job I completed. I worked to help people with many events, such as a Weddings and parties, I cleaned many apts and houses, and I taught people how to utilize different types of cell phones along with tricks about Macs and PCs.
I graduated from college with a bachelors in something that was basically impossible to find a job in due to the bad economy. Sweeps hired me even though I wasn’t a college student and I was able to learn more about myself and my skills. After working for Sweeps for a year and a half; I decided it was time to find a career for my personal growth. In every interview I always got asked about Sweeps from listing it on my resume and the different tasks I completed for them.
I explained to prospective employers the different problem-​solving techniques I learned in working with people and the importance of customer service I consistently worked to provide; most prospective employers were amazed at how many different things I had learned to do incorporating the importance of customer service.
If you are a college student looking to broaden your work experience, network, and make a little money on the side; I would highly recommend working for Sweeps.

Wow.
Started as the worst day ever. Couldn’t find my driver license for a 530am flight. Had to take my passport to get on the plane which I just made. Had to beg the rental car agency to give me a car with a passport instead of the driver license. Get to my destination where I am supposed to meet 2 women to clean my apartment before giving it back to the landlord and do a walk through 4 hours later. As I get to the house she calls and said she fell down a flight of stairs and can’t make it. Now I have to start scrambling to find a cleaning agency on short notice.
Sweeps to the rescue. As the apartment was empty and I had no computer Emily was kind enough to take my info down and post the job online. She also texted her contacts to see if they could do it. Within 15 minutes Chris calls and said he would be there in 30 min. He knocked out the job that the other agency was gonna send 2 people to do in the same amount of time. He did a great job and the apartment passed inspection. And Sweeps was 50 dollars less than their competitor.
Bravo job well done. Day finished on a positive note.

I love sweeps! I use them all the time. I think it is a brilliant idea. The website is also extremely well thought out and really easy to use. You just post any odd job, and usually within the same day «sweepers» are awarded your job. They even have a «live chat» that you can use. The folks at sweeps also understand that things change and are flexible with cancellations/​changes. It is important to remember that you are paying for college students to do odd jobs such as moving, assembling furniture, etc, so if you are looking for the highest level of professionalism perhaps look elsewhere (that is not to say that the sweepers are not professional!)
It’s also one of the few honest businesses that do odd jobs. One time, I was having a couch moved, and there was damage done to the walls by the sweepers. They were excellent about taking responsibility for it, and sent someone over to repaint the walls immediately. I was so pleasantly surprised because I have dealt with much older people who would try to wipe their hands clean of the blame.
The only other issue I faced was one sweeper who blatantly asked for a tip, when I didn’t have cash (I was going to tip online), and ended up taking more than I was trying to give him. However when I contacted sweeps about this issue, they fixed it right away.

I was not happy with Sweeps. I used the Sweeps in the Raleigh area. They were pleasant when they were trying to get my business, but didn’t seem to care once the task ended (not completed). I posted a comment to them after the job was supposedly done and no one responded. In addition I gave them specific information about the process and they disregarded my request and did the opposite of what I asked. I did not get the full service that was advertised and they did not seem to care after the fact. Re-​using their services? and trust me, if they did right by me, they would have gotten lots of my business, especially since the work is going towards college students. This was the first time I used this service and now I know-​NO MORE!

Student quality work at unreasonable rates. Both yard and maid services failed to complete the simple and explicit instructions I provided. Rake the yard, and bring a rake. They finish and inform me they didn’t have a rake to do driveway-​wtf… I’m sorry you cant possibly run a yard service without a rake. Also, don’t bother coming if you can’t complete the job. As for maid, this was worse. She used all purpose cleaner on my wood dinner table, forgot to vacuum, left dirty dishes in sink, and didn’t clean shower.
I’m legit angry and this place sucks. Hire a professional that needs to feed a family, because they’ll work like they mean it and know what they are doing.

I hired sweeps to move me into my one bedroom apartment and the process was smooth and amazing!
The online system makes hiring very easy. I like that I don’t *have* to speak to someone on the phone, if I don’t want to. The two guys that showed up were punctual and took great care with my things (including a very heavy marble table). They worked until the job was done and I have never been more satisfied with my movers. I received the invoice, gave it the once over, and my card was charged. Easy!
I will definitely be using the service for other things.
Thanks Sweeps!

Alex and Ty are awesome. We moved two relo containers into one storage in 2hrs. Both are quick and strong. We stack boxes and other stuff high to fit everything into one storage. Will hire them again for my next move to a new house. Enjoy every min workIng with them.

Sweeps is nothing short of awesome. My «sweeper» was Richard P., who was on time, polite, friendly and super helpful. I loved how easy it was to submit a job online and the turnaround time was so quick! The Sweeps concept is truly brilliant and I’ll definitely be using them again and again.

The two Sweepers that did my move were awesome! They were professional, fast, got everything into one Relocube (instead of 2) and packed it tightly. (Relocubes are like Pods). It was also an unbelievably hot day and they still made it happen. I would recommend Sweeps to anyone!

This was our first experience with Sweeps and we definitely plan to be repeat customers. The two gentlemen we hired to help us move arrived on time, were professional, efficient and hard-​working. I’ve hired professional movers in the past and they charge twice as much for half of the effort. We also liked how you can post and pay for the job online. Highly recommend hiring Sweeps!

Just wanted to say thanks to Sweeps for having such an awesome service. I needed to find a college student to help us at a conference by wearing a yeti suit and engaging with the audience AND I needed that person the next morning. I was able to put my request on Sweeps and within an hour I already had the perfect fit… Andrew. He was awesome to work with. He arrived on time and did an excellent job. I will DEFINITELY use Sweeps again. Thank you for creating such an amazing site!

I can’t say enough about this company. I have used them for a number of moves and I am always satisfied and impressed with the people who complete the jobs. They are professional, efficient, thoughtful and most important timely! Plus you can be sure your money is going to help a good cause, students or recent grads. I highly recommend them!

I probably should have consulted Unilocal BEFORE contacting Sweeps; however I was in a bind and they seemed a possible solution as I had two big pieces of refrigeration equipment that I needed to move. As it turns out, they were the perfect answer to my dilemma and best of all, they solved my problem within hours of being contacted. They may be college students but their attitude and approach was completely professional.

GREAT
Easy interface online. Polite and easy to work with in person. Every city should have a Sweeps!

We hired Sweeps to help us move into our new home, and would definitely recommend them! Our two Sweepers were awesome! I was extremely grateful for their help with the heavy lifting, and honestly really enjoyed their company as well. Thanks Kyle and Rheuben!

New to town and had to move some furniture cross town, called a moving company and got quoted $ 250 flat rate for it. Called sweeps, a student named Jeremiah came and helped me out. Great job, was timely, efficient, friendly. What else can u ask for. Next time I’m moving something, or needs some odd jobs done, I am definitely hiring Sweeps again. The manger, Morris, was fantastic in arranging the time and people. Great experience overall. Definitely a fan.
