Windows and screens were adequately cleaned. The guys we friendly enough. However, there seems to a lack of common sense when it comes to making trivial decisions about things like the best root to the back yard. In my case, there are two paths from the driveway. A long path to the opposite side of the house through a fence gate with a newly seeded and fenced off ( and muddy due to the active rain) portion of the back yard and onto the outer edge of the deck and through a doggie gate ( meant to keep the dog out) OR a short path with a sidewalk directly from the driveway to the backyard through a gate followed by an immediate set of stairs onto the deck. They chose the long muddy path and destroyed my newly seeded area and subsequently put muddy foot prints all over the deck. ..oh and they mentioned none of this to me. When I called the let the folks in the home office know.. I was told it was my fault because I didn't explicitly tell them to take the closer/easier none muddy path becuase "they aren't gonna know not to walk somewhere". Now I know where the workers got their sense of accountability. I will take my future business else where. I provided three pictures: 2 of the muddy area and 1 of the easy path..

Response from Crystal Clear Window Washing Inc
Hello Thank you for your feedback. As a new customer you received our email before scheduling an appointment and we informed you about all requirements. If you do not want us to walk through certain areas , you should tell this to our technicians and have the area marked. Regarding newly seeded area should me marked off. Technicians were not able to see seeding. Regarding foot prints all over the deck - it was rainy day and we offered to have the technicians return to do clean up, however you declined. If we were responsible for any damages at your property , we definitely would feel accountable however this was our first visit at your property and we were unaware of all of those "no go" areas. I would recommend to provide more information before scheduling any visits at your property. Best regards Andy

After having scheduling issues with a smaller company in my neighborhood, I decided to try Crystal Clear. I am 100% satisfied with my experience. Scheduling was easy, service was excellent and I will definitely have them back in the future. High-Five to my technician for doing great work with a friendly demeanor.

The actual window cleaning was great. I have a big, old house with a lot of large and finicky double sash windows. They cleaned them all well. However, the younger member of the two man crew had a few problems. He was more into forcing the windows open rather than asking for assistance from me or his more senior crew member. I heard a lot of banging during the job. There was some furniture that needed to be moved away from windows which I had noted when they arrived and volunteered to help move. But, I was never asked. I also had to unbend a tab on one of the storm window frames after he bent it by trying to force it open, and I happened to walk in while he was struggling with it. He also was way too open and gripey verbally and may well have been more concerned about his personal difficulties than the job at hand. For whatever reason, this guy was not taking care of my home and wasn't being supervised closely enough. The other crew member was outside, and I assume he did a good job out there. I had used Crystal Clean four times prior. While pricey, they always did an excellent job and were careful and professional. I know these firms have a large turnover and they are constantly in training mode, but...as a paying customer, I can't take the chance that I will get someone similarly ill prepared in the future. I see that Angie has some other window cleaning firms highly rated, so I will be moving on next year.

DO NOT use this company. They are completely unethical. They charged my credit card without my authorization. They showed up at my old address and jumped on the roof and cleaned the gutters and charged my bill much more than what they quoted. They were rude when I called and offered a $50 credit. The price was $210. I have never paid more than $130. Spread the word.

Guy showed up on time, did a great job. But then he told me all my windows were terrible and needed to be replaced. We were about to sell the house, so you can imagine how concerned i was. We had 2 inspections and neither one had problems with the windows. Was this guy trying to sell me new windows? I then had an Angie's list coupon and he REFUSED to accept it. So no, would not use again.

We will never use this service again. Their rating do not support their product,
Description of Work: We purchased cleaning for 4 large windows for an rental apartment. Only three windows were cleaned and the service tech was ready to leave, We inquired why the remaining window was not cleaned, we were told that window was not included; not sure why. The tech argued with us and he called his supervisor who told him allegedly not to clean the fourth window, Eventually the tech cleaned the fourth window and left after a loud argument.

The work went fine, but the aftermath was infuriating. After the work, the billing and the payment, I began to get unsolicited phone calls from them, asking for additional work. At least 5 times, I asked them not to call me--that I'd call them if/when I needed additional window washing. They ignored my requests to stop calling. This went on for 5 years and at least 20 calls, until I disconnected that phone line for other reasons.

They were punctual, professional and friendly. They did their work with smile on their faces. They even cleaned the chandelier that hung in our lobby that was not in the original plan. Perfection. It was a little more expensive because they had to get to the roof to hang down but it was well worth it.

My 57 year-old house has its original windows, so this was not an easy job. The estimator didn't notate on the estimate the obvious difficulty (which I mentioned when I called for an estimate) and when I called to schedule I mentioned the difficulty of the job and that 3 guys would be needed. They said 3 guys would come. Only 2 guys showed up and they were unprepared for the work. BTW, the 2 guys were sub-contractors, not employees. They didn't have drop clothes and left carpets dirty. They clearly weren't expecting to work as hard as they did, but for the cost, I kept urging them to do more work. The work that was done was OK but not great. I blame the company for not sending 3 guys and for not making sure the 2 guys who showed up had adequate supplies and expectations to get the job done. My husband is cleaning the carpet and vacuuming up as I write this. The windows are OK. I blame the company and not the workers for what happened. Next time I'll try another provider that hopefully will take my comments on the difficulty of the job seriously..

They quoted me by phone 120, and then 10 each to clean the down flushes- which brought my total to $140. When I asked them about the Angie's List discount, they told me it would only be $10. He raised the price because he said the gutters were dirtier than they were supposed to, then charged another $40 for the garage, which made my total up to $170. I didn't get a chance to look at the outside for a few days, and realized they had left the nozzle on and dripping for days. It was minor, but aggravating. The south side of the house, at the bottom, there was a lot of dark mud splatters, which made me go check the side of the garage. All around the garage, there is mud all over and the top of the gutter rim was left muddy too. It just didn't seem they took the initiative to finish the job, and now I'll have to hire someone else to come out and clean up the mess they left. They were polite, but there was no follow through, and the discounts weren't applied as they should have been. I ended up having to pay for property damage to my roof. Tan's Roofing did 2 hours of repair work.

Sub-par communication; showing up ill prepared, and the bait & switch on price equates to a big "D" in my review. We called to inquire about price. They said our typical 5-yr old two story brick Lincoln Park home with ~35 windows would be $120. They said someone would call back to schedule a date. We did not hear back. Two weeks later a guy randomly showed up to clean the windows. He then told me the service would actually be $240 and the girls on the phone often misquote. On the schedule date they showed up without a sufficient ladder to reach the roof skylight (although we had discussed this in detail) and we elected to pass on the two side windows for which he needed access to inside our bedrooms. Despite the significant change to the amount of work to be done (i.e. no skylight or windows) he presented us a bill with only $20 off the $240 price. Not to mention the whole thing took eight calls to execute. Sorry team --- you need to be easier to do business with.

We did provide a quote over the phone based on the information provided by client ~34 windows $140.00 less the $20 discount based on our price list publicly available at this link http://crystalclearww.com/prices.html. This is a price for homes up to 28ft tall as our web site states. Client omitted to tell us this is very high 3 story home When our technician arrived (the first time) he looked around the outside of the house, and asked client if there is access to the roof in order to clean the skylights - client said yes, he also wrote on the estimate he left with client, he will need access to the inside of the house for the two side windows, client said we will be granted access at time of service and accepted requirements per written quote. Written quote lists window cleaning exterior $200 plus skylights $20.00. This is a fact - we did show up once without confirming the appointment with client for this we sincerely apologize, but at that time we just provided quote, and did not insist on doing the work, client agreed to the updated price, and terms on written quote, then scheduled an appointment for time most convenient to the client. After the service we collected the check for $220, we offered the refund $40 for work not done due to not being able to get into the house. Day later we get an email from client informing the check is being cancelled, and offers to pay unrealistic $120, regardless of the initial agreement. At this point we did not get paid, plus ended up with an "F" review. Client gets the windows done at no cost (other than the bank fee for check cancellation). We really advise all clients to try to resolve any issues by contacting our professional customer support and coming to a reasonable agreement before stopping payment or giving negative reviews. We have been in business for the last 15 years and have mostly "A" ratings, and strive to keep up the perfect reputation.

My call was promptly answered and I was pleasantly surprised to be able to book them on 48 hour notice. I had purchased a Big Deal for another window cleaner but he was backed up and I needed the job to be done quickly. The 3 man crew that came did an excellent job. They were very efficient and had the windows cleaned in short order.. I will use the Big Deal from the other company later in the season but Chrystal Clear will be my go to company from then on. The job would have been $130 but I had a $20 coupon which they honored.
