Cleaning with a purpose: Frisco-based maid service opens up shop

Rob Buehler is a single father of two daughters, so he knows how difficult it can be to keep a house clean all the time.

When Buehler was looking for a maid service, however, he had a problem finding one in the area that he considered to meet basic requirements for a cleaning service.

"Finding a service that was reliable, showed up on time and was friendly was surprisingly difficult," Buehler said. "So I decided to start my own and brought some of my technological expertise to the company, since maid services are generally pretty low-tech."

"Our focus is being very interactive with out customers," Buehler said. "We want to make the process of getting your house cleaned as simple and pleasant as possible."

Additionally, Buehler set a flat pricing rate that differs from the typical quote method. Golden Services' customers pay based on the amount of rooms cleaned instead of the square footage of a house.

The company also services a large area, reaching homes in Allen, Carrollton, Fairview, Frisco, Little Elm, McKinney, Plano, Prosper and The Colony.

Perhaps the biggest aspect that sets Golden Services apart from other cleaning companies, however, is its involvement with the Frisco Humane Society.

For every cleaning, Golden Services donates a portion of its proceeds to the organization. The idea, Buehler said, came after he saw an article about how another maid service donated a portion of its proceeds to charity.

"Being a big dog-loving family, I thought the humane society would be a great place for us to help out," he said. "We actually named the company 'Golden Services' after my golden retriever -- that's how big of a dog family we are."

For the Frisco Humane Society, Buehler's agreement to donate a portion of his service's proceeds was a welcome relief.
