Anna was wonderful and professional. She assured me that a member of her staff would be available for the date that was requested. I requested service for 9 - 10 am. However I agreed to 11 am. I received a call at 11:24 am from the staff saying that she was late (no apology) and that she will be on the way AFTER she finished getting cleaning supplies at Home Depot. At 1:00 pm, I called Anna to relay that she was not only late but didn't call either. Anna apologized and asked what I wanted to do. My husband and I decided to cancel the service. Around 10 minutes later, I received a call from the staff in which I promptly sent to voicemail. The voicemail message left from the staff member contained the following statement, "Was that you who called Anna to cancel? If so, sorry I was late. I had to get cleaning supplies from Home Depot and I was having problems with my GPS." Later I received a text stating that she can come on Tuesday at 9 am to which I never replied. While I appreciated Anna's professionalism, I would definitely say that her staff can leave a less than memorable experience ESPECIALLY for a FIRST TIME customer.
Description of Work: We decided to cancel the service because the staff failed to contact us after being almost 2 hours late for an appointment.

Response from PERSNICKETY CLEANING SERVICE
This is an accurate review, unfortunately. [removed member name] was very graceous and kind when she called to inform me of what was happening. The person she speaks of is no longer with Persnickety for that exact reason. I try my best to hire exceptional staff and, for the most part, I am very successful doing just that however there have been a few times when I have not been successful in doing so. In the 12 years we have been in business I have fired 5 people. The majority of my staff has been with me 4 plus years, two of them have been with me 8 years. I am as disappointed, if not more so, than the client when they have a less than stellar experience with my company. I started Persnickety with one house and a trunk full of cleaning supplies. The most difficult time I have had since starting Persnickety was transitioning from a cleaner to an owner. Letting go of control and trusting others to do as good, if not better, job than I so when I get complaints about my staff I take it very seriously. The reason in the delayed response to this review is that I have not been a member of Angies List and had no idea it was posted until just now.
