We purchased the Angie's List Big Deal for seasonal rain gutter cleaning for $99 since the price was very good. The appointment was easy to schedule and the crew arrived promptly, all pluses. They did a thorough job clearing the leaves from the rain gutter. However, when my husband went up to the roof to inspect the work, he noticed that the crew did not remove the other debris (leaves, twigs, small branches, etc.) from the roof. If it had rained again, those items would have washed right into the newly cleaned rain gutters, so he asked the team to brush off the roof too, which our regular rain gutter company would have done as a part of the service without being asked. America's Best did clear the roof debris as requested, but left the pile of leaves and twigs that was cleared right near my front porch/door. My green transh bin was not that far away, but I get that they were hired to clear the gutters, not anything else - including putting the debris in a transh bin. Overall, they did a good job with the rain gutter cleaning, but I feel this is not a company that goes above and beyond in customer service - just what they were hired to do exactly by contract. Also, the additional per linear feet cleaning rate for rain gutters that exceeded the Big Deal allowance was higher than our normal gutter cleaning service. We will return to the regular vendor that we have used in the past.:
Description of Work: We purchased the Angie's List Big Deal for seasonal rain gutter cleaning for $99. We have a one-story, 2,000 sq ft home, but was told by the crew that arrived that they can only clear 100 linear ft. of rain gutters. We did not see this on the coupon's fine print, but it may have been in the Big Deal description, which we could no longer pull up to review. So, we ended up only getting portion of our rain gutters cleared due to the high price charged for the additional linear feet. Here is the fine print on the voucher - no mention of linear ft limits. The Fine Print: Not valid for cash back Coupon cannot be combined with other specials or offers Coupon cannot be applied to current or past jobs Coupon is for residential service only Appointments are to be performed during normal business hours Normal cancellation policies apply Covers homes up to two stories Coupon expires 4 months from date of purchase

Experience was fine. Only negative: I told them I knew we had more than 15 windows. I asked them to make sure to do the top floor (the view windows) and definitely not to do the privacy windows. They did not follow my instructions at all and left our view windows and sliding doors messy with spots all over them.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. We would be more than happy to come back to get those windows. Thank you for your feedback. Please note: We recommend cleaning all the exterior windows after the pressure wash because the run off of the water will inevitably leave water marks on the windows.

Only one small snag. I purchased two packages because of the number of windows we wanted tinted. The installer saw the two and thought it only meant two windows. I explained to him I bought two packages that equated to so many square feet. Once we got that cleared up, it went well. He did have to come back a second time because he didn't have enough of the right tint color which he wouldn't have known until he arrived which tint color I would choose. It works great and I will do that any time I move to a new location.
Description of Work: We had tinting placed on all five of the south facing windows to decrease the heat on that side of the house during the summer. We also had the sliding glass door on the east side of the house to decrease the amount of light in the master bedroom.

They were supposed to arrive at our house at 9am, but at 9:20, they called saying that they don't service our area. I understand that things happen, but I would have appreciated more notice that they wouldn't be able to do the job as my wife and I rearranged our schedule so we could be here.

I stayed home from work for the cleaning people, but since they didn't arrive at 9, I had to cancel my carpet cleaning appointment for 12:00, and I had to miss work all day.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for $85 for 4 hours of deep housecleaning . I had a 9:00 appt. & they called to say one of the workers had a death in family & they would call back to reschedule. They later called to schedule between 12:30 & 2:00. The 2 workers did arrive at 2:00. I wanted my windows cleaned, which come out of the windows very easily. They said they didn't clean windows. They also told me they don't wash dishes, and they don't make beds. Cleaing the windows was one of the main things I wanted done, especially since the name of the company is America's Best Window Cleaning! In the recent member reports posted in Angie's List, a member reported they not only cleaned the windows but also cleaned the screens. I asked them to leave, and contacted Angie's List for a refund on my Big Deal.

The first cleaning crew could not make it because their father died the day before. I knew you would not be happy about us not being there, but thought you would try to understand. However your response was "that is a likely excuse." I then realized there was going to be an issue here. I explained to you that I had another crew that could be there sometime in the afternoon and with much reluctance you agreed to have them come. The deal clearly states this is for inside cleaning only. If you were looking for outside cleaning we can do that, but it would be a separate crew and pricing. Because of your earlier attitude and then you becoming irate when we tried explaining this to you, the ladies no longer felt comfortable being there. We felt it best that they leave and we offer you a full refund. We don't normally go into this much detail on a response but I feel it is necessary for all Angie's List members to understand that we, not only, value our customers, but also, the safety and conditions the ladies in the field are working in. Therefore; we reserve the right to refuse service to any customer we deem to be hostile. This rarely happens, but was the case in this situation.

They were great. I thought that the price was really high. However, the people that came out were terrific. I could choose to have them do any kind of house cleaning I want. Two people were sent for two hours or one person for four hours to clean anything I wanted them to do. I could have them clean my stove; wash my windows, gutters and whatever I wanted. My kitchen is big, it is hard for me to move the stove and the refrigerator, and they moved everything. They moved every appliance and thoroughly cleaned my kitchen. I have tile floors and tile cabinets, tile counters, and all my cupboards are oak. They washed every cupboard. They were willing to check out every pot and pan I had and wash the shelves and pots but I only had two hours. They offered to stay longer and charge me $30 an hour or to do more. I didn’t want to do that at the time. I just had them do what I wanted and sent them away. I thought they were a little high and I spoke with other people who have had their kitchens cleaned. However, they did a fabulous job. I would have them back but I don’t think I would pay them that much money for one room. I would use them but I would talk to them about money.

PLEASE REVERSE UP AND BOTTOM: Paid $129.00 to have 5 windows cleaned in 45 minutes.
Description of Work: Felt like the Company bait and switched me. They worked ONLY 45 minutes 10 windows, and I believe the guys only make $20. per hour. Also owner said, If you had a large window they counted it as 2 window. They said I had 4-5 picture windows. Baloney! Felt bad for the men cleaning the windows. They seem like they had other mislead customers that they were haranged. Owner was contacted onsite immediately to discuss BAIT AND SWITCH when they arrived and never addressed the customer directly, made the laborer handle her dirty work..... fact that I thought I was purchasing 20 windows to be cleaned but the gal who owns it.. she refused to get on the phone. BAIT AND SWITCH, I let them him clean, and never, ever again. RIP OFF.

I am sorry you feel this way, but the deal clearly states what is included. We are not a bait and switch company. From the report you left, you were obviously told before the technicians started (one of the #1 things we require our technicians to do before beginning any job) what was included in the deal. The deal clearly states picture windows count as two. You were under no obligation to go ahead with the service. I think if we were a company that did bait and switched we would not have the over whelming amount of positive reports that we do. We are the #1 window cleaning company on Angie's List with more than 180 "A" reports. I think that says a lot. As far as, you not being able to speak with me I have no problem speaking with our customers for any reason, but this was two days before Christmas and I was out of state. I had office staff here answering all your questions the best they could.

It was easy to schedule. The guy arrived on time. Before he got there I measured the linear feet of my house so I would know exactly what he was contracted to do and so he wouldn’t do more because there was an upcharge if he did more than 100 linear feet. He came; he was a really nice man. He did a terrific job. There was some storm damage on our roof that we didn’t know about that he told us about. Overall it was a good experience.

Bought $119 gutter cleaning 'big deal.' Got a call at 7:57 AM that they were starting. Got a call at 8:20 AM that they were done.For two guys, that amounts to 180$/hr for each guy. Seemed a little steep of a price for the amount of time it took them...even with travel time and cleanup. Then, they asked me if I wanted to pay $40 extra for cleaning leaves off my roof. I couldn't really understand why because when I had been on my roof a few weeks ago all the leaves were just near the downspouts which I thought was part of the deal. I called the company and they said that it was a separate service. I guess it was fine, but I definitely did not feel that I got any kind of "big deal." Next time I'll buy a longer hose and a ladder and save a bunch of money.

First, we don't charge by the hour. We charge by the amount of gutters as clearly stated in the deal you purchased on Angie's List. As far as the roof goes, the technicians followed protocol and before we cleaned it off they called you to see if you would like it done. You were under no obligation to purchase that additional service. This is why we encourage our customers to be home when the service is performed. When considering an appropriate cost of a service performed you need to factor in operating costs (liability insurance ($2,000,000), worker's comp. ($1,000,000). travel expenses, proper equipment...) America's Best, Inc. has been in business for over 30 years and we have offices in multiple states. In our economic crisis, there are many day laborers who do these types of service for a lower fee, but do not offer the security that we do because of the insurance we carry. I'm sorry that you felt it was not worth your money. As a homeowner myself I would want that peace of mind. As for the short duration of the job, we had two technicians that were there working simultaneously to clean your gutters and roof. Perhaps the gutters were not as dirty as you thought they were. We perform quality work and do not prolong hours worked for appearance sake. That would be dishonest.

It had been some years since I had the rain gutters cleaned. I used a special promotion for a specific area of rain gutter to be cleaned. The house's total rain gutters were about 70% more area than the promotion covered. The professional from America's best offered to do the worst of the rain gutters to keep within the promotion or he could price the full house. I asked him to price the full house area that was over the promotional limit. I decided to have him clean all the rain gutters for an additional $270 on top of the promotional price of $120. for the limited area the promotion specified The rain gutters were full of debris and it took him three hours. He did an exceptional job and took me up on the roof to inspect his work. He also cleaned up any over flow from flushing out the gutters at the end of his cleaning. Excellent job, good clean up.

I called and set a date. He arrived on time. We talked about the order of things to do. I told him about my concern with water getting in the old house. I told him the windows were old and needed to be hand washed and not sprayed heavily with the hose. Once he got started, I reminded him again, and it went well. It was all done in a timely manner. We were pleased with the work done.
Description of Work: He cleaned all the exterior windows we instructed him to after he power washed the clapboard exterior. He was quick and efficient. He did a good job. I would hire this company again. The price included washing the windows but not chemically removing the hard water marks. That's would have been extra.
