I am on the board of our neighborhood HOA. This company keeps putting up their "signs" on our community property advertising their services. I have removed several of these signs in the past few weeks, and found a new sign out the other day. I called the phone number listed to complain and ask the company to stop. The man who answered the phone was very rude and sarcastic with me, and indicated he would NOT stop putting up his signs. I asked to speak with the owner, and he identified himself as the owner. I told him that this was against our HOA rules, and again asked him to stop. He laughed at me this time, and said he had already had "30 calls" as a result of his signs and that it was "good business for him." I told him I was going to contact the Better Business Bureau, Angie's List and the Sheriff's Department to complain. I will also be sending out a notice to our residents (300+ homes) about this company's behavior. Is this the kind of business you want doing work in YOUR neighborhood?

Very satisfied with their work. If you're not home, they just get it done and leave the bill, but if you're home, they will ring the bell after they are finished to make sure you are satisfied with the cleanup they have done. Polite and responsive.
Description of Work: Very reliable and professional. I have been using them for over 10 years and will continue to do so for cleaning gutters on a two story house. The are very good about adjusting their schedule to make sure they come when your leaves are all down, not just when it's convenient for them. They clean up thoroughly after themselves.

Look at notes above. If he had just done the right thing. When you pay for a service that is not performed correctly, the company should always come back out to fix problem and make it right. Not threaten you and yell at you on the phone!!!
Description of Work: Well, unfortunately, Mitch has lost my business forever. I have been using Maid in the Shade to service my swamp cooler every season for a few years now. I was not thrilled when they initially serviced my unit and they used a coating on the bottom of the unit for rust and decay. They painted over the water overflow tubes on the bottom. I was no longer able to drain unit in the fall. I let this go and still worked with Mitch mainly because he was great at following up every year and proactively calling me to set up a time to service unit. I did not feel like searching out a new company. This is an older unit & I did not want to spend much money on it at this point. In the past, there were usually issues with it leaking after a service. They always came out & fixed whatever was leaking. It was usually the floating devices that needed to be tweaked. This year was the same service and within a day after they serviced my swamp cooler it was leaking so I called Mitch and he said he would have someone come out and look at it. They said there were holes in the water line and it needed to be replaced. The estimate was approx. $100. I told them I would not pay $100 to replace. I told them I would figure something out. I received another bill for $35. I called Mitch & told him I did not think I should be billed for additional service. The unit should have been serviced at the initial service call and was leaking right away which they should have caught. He was extremely rude on the phone. I was so offended at his response and attitude. I paid him for the service provided even thought my swamp cooler is still leaking. I will not work with people when they are rude and unwilling to do "the right thing". He is now threatening to come after me for the $35. Really??? Good luck Mitch. If this is how you treat your customers, this will not be the last complaint you receive.

Great! Have used them for about 6 years. They never leave a mess, just an invoice in the mailbox. Willing to do minor things like put my roof antenna back in shape when it was leaning over. They carry Workman's Comp and liability insurance - which removes any worry I would have.
