THE BOTTOM LINE
Tiger Maids is a well-established Columbia cleaning company with nearly 30 years in business. However, MaidPro offers a structured 49-Point Checklist, nationally developed training programs, and a clear 24-hour re-clean guarantee that provides a level of consistency and accountability that even long-tenured local companies struggle to match. If you want proven processes backed by 6.9 million homes of experience, MaidPro is the stronger choice.

Why Columbia Homeowners Choose MaidPro
49-Point Checklist
Every MaidPro clean follows a detailed 49-Point Checklist covering kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas. Tiger Maids has years of experience but does not publish a standardized cleaning checklist, so results can vary depending on the team assigned.
Locally Owned, Nationally Backed
MaidPro combines local ownership with a nationally proven system refined over 30+ years and 6.9 million homes cleaned. Tiger Maids is experienced locally, but without the training infrastructure and proven processes of a national brand.
PRO Clean Promise
