Let me just say that this business no longer has integrity. Kim, who has been there as long as I've used them and who has a sparkling, robust personality which really instills confidence, (no sarcasm) unfortunately makes promises her service people have no intention of keeping and at this point it's clear to me she's in on what has become a scam. Their website says they wash the screens and clean out all the tracks, they brag that their company is unique in this and it's what sets them head and shoulders over the competition, w but let me assure you, if they can possibly get away with not doing it (which means you are not standing over them supervising) they don't. But they will tell you they did and charge you for it. I told the happy-go-lucky ultra friendly Kim that I was having a family reunion and needed the screens washed with soap and water for sure this time. "No problem! We always do that!" But the service man showed up, raced through the job spending about 1-2 minute per window, and when I said "Gee... they just don't look that good. Did you wash the screens?" His response was, "I swear I did." I am angry at myself for paying him without wiping off a screen myself first and checking. For some reason I chose to believe him. I guess because I am not used to having someone swear they did something to my face when they didn't. Plus It was a crazy day with to s of people in the house and when I pointed out some debris left on the glass, he excused it away as bird poop or paint which I guess in his mind are not part of his job description. His attitude was just like, "Lady I don't have tine for this, your house is one if a dozen I have to do today so stop jerking my chain.". But when I wiped two of the screens with a damp cloth 2 days later, the cloth came back black. One wipe and it looked like I had wiped the inside of a planter. Ok, It's one thing to rush through the job, its another to charge someone for work you did not do. Those are not good. But then to lie about having done work you didn't do to the customers face? So I called them and left a very polite, very understanding message (no threatening undertone) requesting that they simply send someone out to wash the screens before my reunion since I had paid for that service. In fact I called twice. They chose not to respond to my call. Their routine response (I am guessing) is to offer a 10 % discount on the next job but since THIS job was 10% off because their former job on my apartment unit was so bad, that wasn't going to cut it this time and they probably figured they had lost my business so why even bother? Th
Description of Work: Not my window man anymore. I have used this company 6 times in the last 4 years and so have members of my extended family. In fact my mom actually recommended them to them when I first moved to Oxnard. The first time, they did a spectacular job. The second time, the service guys tried to get by with just brushing the screens and not washing them even though Kim (the owner?) told me they absolutely WASHED the screens. I mentioned this to them and requested that they wash them with soap and water. I was there at the time, and reluctantly they did and again the results were utterly beautiful. The third time, I was not impressed. I should point out that I live in a new development where construction has been going on daily for 7 years in every direction immediately surrounding my unit and the dust just collects in the screens to the point of being caked on. Add to that the fact that I live in a 3 story unit that even the hose spray can't reach so when I spend $450 to have the windows cleaned once a year, I need the screens washed or I just end up with a blurry view. I figured they were just having an off day and ket it pass. Everyone has an off day, right? The fourth time, I hired them to do the windows on an apartment unit I own and when they got done, you couldn't even tell that they had been there. My new tenant actually texted me the pictures and it was a total joke. Half the windows had not been touched. None of them had been washed inside and they left mud streaks running down the walls. I called Kim and she apologized profusely and sent the crew out again to redo the work but honestly, it still wasn't up to par. They did not wash the screens and left cobwebs in the window corners. I called again to say the work just wasn't good and to text pictures so Kim could see for herself, thinking that the owner would want to Know (I would if it was my company) and she (Kim) offered me 10% off my next job. That leads me to the work they performed 4 days ago.

Mike arrived at the scheduled time ready to work. He did a beautiful job on both the upper and lower levels of my home. This was the 4th or 5th time I've used My Window Man. The owner has sent professional, kind, respectful people to do the work. I appreciate the consistency.
Description of Work: Cleaned the windows inside and outside of my home.
