Our Take on Merry Maids of Houston
This is the strongest franchise office we found inside Houston city limits, with a real suite on Harwin Drive, a named local management team and more than a thousand reviews. Pricing is quote only, and much of the website is national brand material.

Company Background
About Merry Maids of Houston
Merry Maids of Houston is a franchise office of Merry Maids, the cleaning brand Dallen Peterson started in Omaha in 1979. The Houston office is locally owned and sits in Suite 318 of the Harwin International Plaza at 7636 Harwin Drive, near Sharpstown. Its own Google profile calls it a woman-led business, and its local page introduces the people who run it: Maria, the office manager, who has been with the team for nine years, and Paulina, the assistant manager, with six years there.
The service area inside the city covers the Heights, Midtown, River Oaks, Memorial, Spring Branch and Westchase, and the office also takes jobs in Bellaire, West University Place, Piney Point Village and the other Memorial villages. Services follow the familiar Merry Maids menu: recurring weekly or biweekly cleaning, one-time deep cleaning, move-in and move-out cleaning, appliance and cabinet detail work, and vacation rental turnovers. The brand FAQ suggests a full deep clean every six to twelve months for most homes.
On trust, the brand states that every Merry Maids cleaner is insured and bonded and that applicants go through background checks and screening. The Houston office has been named Best Cleaning Service in Houston by HTownBest.com, and it backs visits with the brand's Worry-Free Guarantee. Prices are not posted and vary by location, so you will need a quote.
Merry Maids of Houston holds 4.8 stars from 1,108 Google reviews, read November 11, 2026, one of the larger review counts among Houston cleaning offices. The local team page lists more than a dozen housekeepers by first name, which gives a sense of the size of the crew.
It suits homeowners who like a known national brand, a set process and an office they can call during the week. It suits buyers who want posted prices or weekend office hours less well. Before booking, ask for the quote in writing, how the guarantee works if a room is missed, whether your cleaners will be employees of the local franchise, and for proof of insurance and bonding for this office.
