Lisbon, Oct 2026

I booked a one time deep cleaning service and it was fantastic. They brought all their stuff, were polite, and did a better job than anyone I have ever hired in Lisbon. They spoke English, the price felt great, and I would probably hire them regularly. I would recommend them to family and friends.

Isabel did an overview for me and my husband to determine our tax residency status and what we needed to do next year, and she also set me up for self employment. She is very nice, very friendly, and very easy to communicate with, and once we agreed on the steps she did everything very quickly, my self employment was set up within 24 hours. She even sent me a video showing me how to do the invoicing myself, and helped with the backend stuff like receipts on the NIF and changing the address. Her pricing felt really reasonable compared to what other expat services charge.

Having tried to do it myself I wasn't sure how they would manage. The 7th floor balcony was hard to do but they did it, the windows and glass on the balcony looked great. I'm very happy with the result.
