About HouseWorks Home
HouseWorks is a residential cleaning company cleaning homes in Fairfield County and New Haven County, Connecticut
HouseWorks is a residential cleaning company with one priority: creating clean and healthy homes for our clients. That simple promise has guided our business since my mom, Helen Sisk, founded it in April 2000.
Growing up on a farm in North Carolina, my mom had many responsibilities from a young age, one of which was helping keep a clean and organized home. She learned from her mother and grandmother that cleanliness and health are closely linked. It wasn’t glamorous work, but it was important. That value stuck with her.
After having her first child (me), maintaining a healthy home became even more important to her. But like many busy parents, she also wanted more quality family time. So she and my dad decided to hire outside cleaning help. They tried large franchise cleaning services and individual cleaners. Unfortunately, they experienced many of the same problems that families still face today: broken promises, poor customer service, inconsistent cleaners, and a lack of professionalism or insurance coverage.
But the biggest problem? The house still wasn’t truly clean. Baseboards were missed, floors weren’t washed properly, surfaces were cleaned with the wrong products, and the areas behind and under furniture were left untouched. Most cleaning services only provide surface-level cleaning.
Let’s be honest, we all have time to do basic cleaning ourselves: wiping counters, loading the dishwasher, sweeping, and quick bathroom touch-ups. But when you hire a cleaning service, you expect them to go beyond the surface.
That’s exactly why my mom started HouseWorks.
She created HouseWorks to provide more than just clean homes; she wanted to deliver healthy homes. That’s why she developed the HouseWorks 36-Point Cleaning System: a detailed checklist used to train our team and ensure consistently high-quality, thorough cleanings every time.
Now, more than two decades later, I’m proud to carry on the vision my mom started. I grew up watching her build this company from the ground up with integrity, hard work, and genuine care for each client’s home and health. Today, I’m continuing that legacy, expanding our services, and bringing HouseWorks into a new era while staying true to what has always set us apart: quality, consistency, and care you can count on.
At HouseWorks, our mission has always been personal. It began with my mom’s vision of a clean, healthy home for her family, and it has grown into a trusted cleaning company serving homeowners across Connecticut.
If you’re ready to experience the difference of a HouseWorks Home, we’d love to give you a free estimate and schedule your first cleaning.
Clean & healthy, every time. That’s the HouseWorks promise.
All the best,
Ben Sisk
