Description of Work: This was a deal that started out very auspiciously. After I purchased the deal, I had some questions. I got very prompt turn-around time on the messages I left on the business' answering machine and the answers to my questions were clear and cordial. We eventually set up a date for the service. When the day came, I had to call Ricardo in the morning and leave him a message, asking if it MIGHT be possible to reschedule, even at this late date, because it looked as thought I was going to have to go the ER for a sudden health issue. He called back and said he could be flexible and reschedule, but I, in the meantime, with some amount of torquing, had managed to get a friend lined up to stand-in for me and be at the house to meet him for the appointment. So I told Ricardo, person to person now, not in a voicemail, that we could go on with the appointment as scheduled. We were completely clear on this. We then agreed he would come around 1:00 and I gave him my friend's cell phone number so that they could coordinate the exact time once Ricardo was finished with the job ahead of me. The next thing I hear, when I checked in later with my friend, is that Ricardo had left him a message that the client before me had canceled their appointment and that he therefore needed to come immediately to my house -- not wait until 1:00. BUT, he said in the same message, it seemed we weren't available (he gave us no time to respond) so he would have to move on to the next job and reschedule with me later. He said to call him back to reschedule and/or if we had any questions. When my friend heard his voicemail, he tried to call Ricardo back 4 or 5 times, leaving him messages that said we were still expecting him and that we needed him to come that day. Ricardo never picked up the phone, nor did he ever return the calls. I heard from him the following Friday (nearly a week later) via email, wherein he politely invited me to reschedule our appointment. When I pointed out to him rather sharply that we were expecting him the previous Saturday but that apparently he had decided it was more convenient to drop our appointment altogether and then ignore all of our attempts to reach him, he explained that he had had a cancellation that would have caused him to arrive at my house 3 hours early; so he had to make the decision to go to another house that was "really big" and "took hours to clean." I am not questioning that Ricardo had a cancellation; but there are two things wrong with the story from that point on. One is, if the big job was scheduled after me (which it must have been if he was trying to push us all up in sequence after his cancellation, starting with me), he had presumably already built all those hours of cleaning into his schedule. So why did he HAVE to move on to this big job and not do our appointment? We were ALL, I'm assuming, on the books for that day. The second thing is, how did he know, when he called my friend and left that message, that he was going to be able to go to that "big job" so many hours earlier than planned (since, logically, that job was after the job that was cancelled AND mine -- so would have been scheduled for 4-5 hours later). The bottom line, though, is really that he had an obligation to ME. As a small business owner myself, I believe that you fulfill your obligations, whether or not it ends up being inconvenient for you. I turned myself inside out to make the appointment work out, out of respect for Ricardo and his crew and the fact that they had a certain expectation of how many jobs they were doing that day and it would be hard for them to take a late cancellation. And I was repaid with a remarkable lack of care in return. I told Ricardo that I would not reschedule with them: I honestly don't want him or his crew in my house, despite having paid $99 to Angie's list. If he has that little regard for my time, then I'm not interested in having any interaction with him at more close range. End of story. Windows still dirty but there are other people out there who, I am sure, will be more deserving of my business.
