House Cleaning
by Brent Lahaie 10 Jan '26

10 Jan '26

Hello, I work independently cleaning houses in the area and I'm currently pretty slow and looking for more clients. I live in Morningside so I would love to have more clients in Highland Park, but if you have friends around the east end of town feel free to let them know too. I offer a set price for each time I come and clean. Each house is different and everyone has their own requirements, so if you are interested let me know and we can set up a time for me to visit and work out a price. I usually clean most houses every two weeks but we can work out a schedule that works for you. If you want references I have many satisfied clients all around the east end of Pittsburgh. The easiest way to get in touch with me is via text/phone at 412-520-2241. If you prefer email, I can be reached via the following email address: brentlahaie(a)gmail.com. This is actually my husband, Brent's email, but he can help connect us. I don't really check my email regularly but I'm very responsive to text messages. Thank you! Margaret Asiimwe Lahaie (by way of Brent Lahaie)

Hey, it doesn’t work, but so what? You can use it for parts. Or if you are handy, you can replace the thermal reset switch! Either way, it’s free for the taking. --Howard howard.degenholtz(a)gmail.com
