I purchased the coupon after speaking with the company with the understanding that could come out and clean the house within a two or three week period. After purchasing the Big Deal and I contacting them, they were unable to schedule an appointment any sooner than one month in advance. They were not accommodating and we had the Big Deal cancelled and refunded. UPDATE They deserve a D. They said they'd be available after the party (don't need a cleaner after a party is already over. Never offered cleaning prior to the event. Lie.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for six hours of housecleaning.

First of all I am so sorry that this client was not satisfied with his Big Deal purchase and had to return it. I do think that there is alot of confusion going on either on my side or the customers side. How I remember this situation is that the customer purchased the big deal on Nov 16 2012 and I think he called me on the week of Nov. 26 2012. The customer wanted to be cleaned on Friday the 7, 2012 because he was having a party on the 8th.We could come on Tuesday the 4th he said that would not work. I told him if I get a cancellation I could call him. He said no. I do not think our company deserves a D when I could of scheduled him the week of his party. Thank you, Rebecca Hardwick 952-892-7172.

I originally purchased this Big Deal in November but because we were moving, we waited to use it until we were settled into our new home. I'm so glad we did. We called Rebecca and got things set up. She's very kind and funny and so easy to work with! The ladies came when my mother-in-law was getting my son ready for school. They came in and got right down to business (after giving my dog some love). Everything sparkled and Rebecca called a few days later to check in. Awesome!!
Description of Work: The ladies did a good cleaning of my whole house. It was so wonderful to come home to a fresh, clean home. They even folded the toilet paper and towels!!

We were contacted by the owner right after purchasing our housecleaning deal, and she was very courteous and knowledgeable. She carefully explained what was involved and how the business was run. The employees were very efficient and gave tips for me to continue to keep the house clean after they left. The house smelled and looked so fresh! The two women who came were personable and really knew what they were doing. I would highly recommend this company!

The experience has been very good. After the initial visit, which was a coupon deal on Angie's List, Rebecca came to the house and priced out a two floor cleaning and a three floor cleaning. No sales pressure, just good information about their service and what they can do. The two person team that arrives each time is the same. They are extremely professional, they take off their coats and get started. They are so thorough and efficient, it keeps me wanting them to return.
Description of Work: They have been to my house three times now. The first visit was a complete deep cleaning of all the wooden blinds on two floors, plus cleaning those floors. The last two visits have been dusting, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms and wood floors on two levels.

We have used Polishing Touch on and off for a few years now. Rebecca has always been great to deal with. And of the cleaners we have used in the past, they are the most professional. Scheduling is usually quite easy. Rebecca has fit us in with only a couple days notice sometimes. We schedule for 4 hours for a team of 2. Her team is extremely attentive and works very methodically taking care of the big items then moving to detailed cleaning where time allows. Rebecca also has inspections completed to insure quality control and that the team completed everything per Polishing Touch's standards. The teams recommend leaving a list of things that are important for you that they should focus on. Pricing is higher than most, but so is the quality and service. Rebecca seemed to adjust pricing recently to become more competitive. If your expectations are high for house cleaning services, no one competes with Polishing Touch.

We've had a few house cleaners in on "coupon deal" type things over the last several years. This was by FAR the best experience. I wasn't home, but my wife commented that the cleaners were practically running around the house the whole time they were here (about 2.5hrs). Hardest workers by far, did a great job. Would like to sign up for recurring cleaning with these folks, but don't have the money right now. Highly reccomended.

I am starting to really feel behind in cleaning as my boys get bigger and messier, and with the holidays coming up, I thought I would try a cleaning service. The Big Deal came around for the Finishing Touch for six hours, and I thought it would be a good way to start. I received a call back immediately from an employee, and then Rebecca, the owner herself, called me the next day to talk about their service and set up the appointment. We did have to talk a few times to find a day that worked--but that was because she bent over backwards to get me in before Thanksgiving (sweet relief). Kelly and Mindy came that Wednesday morning, extremely polite and ready to go, requiring very little instruction, and frankly, they BUSTED it. I thought my superficial cleaning had been fine. I occasionally came downstairs from playing upstairs with my son, and the junk they had unearthed from my countertop was unreal. Then I started to notice the smell... the fresh, clean, lemony-ness that started drifting around the house just made me happy. When they left, I was left with a sparkling main level. My sunroom/junk/toy room looked great. My grimy gas stovetop sparkled (this is amazing to me). My office looked like I can actually do work in it and my dining room was ready to host a crowd. The bathroom looked like new. My carpets looked fluffy, and everything in my living room was dust free. Believe it or not, we did not live in squalor before Rebecca's team came to my house. But the reality is that I am stretched thin and I just can't come close to doing as thorough a job in as short a time. So, I told Rebecca that we're going to have to make this a permanent bi-weekly deal. My husband wishes we could handle it ourselves, but he really appreciated how nice our house looked, and how much less stressed out I was hosting a dinner party the next night. On subsequent visits, things have been not quite as sparkling, as a few items have been missed here or there. But, Rebecca also dropped down our price since we would only be doing a partial cleaning of the house, and they only have two hours to dedicate to us instead of three. For the time and price, it a great by a great company.
Description of Work: Bought the Finishing Touch to for 6 hours of Deep Holiday cleaning in a Big Deal (two cleaners for three hours), and I had them clean my main level and staircases. Then hired them to start regular housecleaning.

From the outset we had issues with incomplete cleaning (dusting in particular). Was told by Rebecca that our house was "too big" for the time they had allotted - so we went to a longer clean costing more, but still did not see any marked improvement. After expressing our concerns, they had Robin, the manager, do two different spot checks but I never heard back from her. Came home one day after one of our first house cleanings to find a large (10'-4') area of shiny streaks and spots in the wood floors at our entry way. Spoke to Rebecca, she assured me the cleaners only used vinegar and water. But after repeated cleanings this area has not evened out. Came home appx one month ago after a clean to find a large (18"), deep scratch in the custom venetian plaster wall of our master bathroom by the shower. Called Rebecca immediately. She came over to our house on 7/3 to look at everything. Her comments: There was "no way her people could have made the scratch" and "she couldn't take responsibility". Regarding the floors, after looking through the cabinet where we keep cleaning product for the crew she found a Bona floor product which at first she said was permanent polyurethane which would have to be sanded out. Rebecca said it was "too expensive for the girls to buy" and she was "sure she didn't bring it into the house" and that "some other provider must have brought it in." She then called back and said that her crew HAD brought the Bona in, but that "it wasn't harmful and she had no idea what was on the floor". I now have a call into the company who does our floors to see what we can do. I don't know if Rebecca will take responsibility and pay for the floor repair. She has already denied responsibility for the deep scratch in the bathroom that I will now have to fix. I do believe she feels badly, but her follow-through has been one of excuses, misinformation and lack of ownership. We will not use this company again in the future.

The one thing every business owner regrets is when something goes wrong and communication shuts down. Of cousre I will be there for the customer. In fact I had left the customer a voice mail to please allow me to over see the removal of the "Bona" product and to please call me. I have never walked away from my responsibilities and would never run from the heat when gets to hot! I will be there happily and with a good and possitive attitude. At age 52 and 30 years of experience I think on of my greatest strenghts is to work with clients and to fix what ever goes wrong. The product was not purchased by myself or anyone else in my company I did not know that Bona even made a permeant wax for wood floors. If I would of known about this product it would of been in my training program. It is now. But, my staff put it on the floor and I will pay to get it off. Our company policy is that we do not bring product into the house for this exact reason. Our customers can control what we use and pick their smells. Now about the wall. There was another contractor in the bathroom working on the shower the scratch was there after he left. The scratch is over my head and I'm 5'8. It looks like a sharp nail or something similar was scraped hard into the wall, hard with alot of force it is deep. I can honestly say that I do not see how on of my staff members could of done this. I feel it is wrong to say we did something that I really feel we did not.I new this would upset the client and when I told her that is when things went south fast. I grew up in a nice home I have a nice home. My parents were not of great means they worked hard.My mother did everything in our house herself painting ,refinishing ect. I have cleaned more house than I can believe and washed many more windows and have been up late cleaning commerical buildings. I know how upsetting it is when something goes wrong in your house that you have workrd so hard for. My clients are my life, my company is my life. I will call the client again and hopefully she will talk to me. I want my Angies List customers to know I will always do my best to serve them. Thank you, Rebecca Hardwick 952-892-7172.

Update: Today I terminated services with The Polishing Touch for failure to perform services. I had received a voice mail from the owner late last week letting me know that due to the 4th of July holiday, cleaning will be done on Monday the 2nd, rather than Wednesday the 4th. The payment was sent to her and the house was readied for the cleaning crew to arrive on Monday. By 8:15 they had not shown up. I called the owner and she began to tell me that she was unhappy with my prior report from Angie's list. She felt it was unfair, and she felt that I did not understand how difficult it is to operate such a large business. I felt that she was playing the same games as before and I finally asked her to return my money and cancel all services. Hopefully this will end the nightmare.

I am so sorry that again the member and I are not on the same page. Services were canceled by me because the relationship was beyond repair. I try so very hard to be helpful to all of my customers but sometimes it just does not work. I have only had to cancel a client one time before on Angies list and that member was also very upset with me. Polishing Touch has over 400 wonderful clients many that have known me for over 15 years and all of them have my home phone number. I have always been fair to all of my clients and will always be there for them. Thank you, Rebecca Hardwick 952-892-7172

Thanks for the wonderful comments. I did want to comment on the price. The window count was off by 36 windows the customer count 26 but there were 62. I did call the client after the work was done to inform him that next year the price would refect the change. I did not want them to pay us the difference but the customers wife insisted she was so nice about this and I wanted to say Thank You! I will call you next year to clean your windows.

The price is fine. The ladies that come to the home are very friendly, but the owner is not. The owner is airheaded. She will say one thing and say something totally the opposite the next time we speak with her. She negotiates the job by time. I wasn’t getting the full service that I paid for because they used to come 15 minutes late and leave 15 minutes late. The prices are very competitive. The quality of the cleaning that is done is fine. I probably would not use them again in the future.

First of all I am so sorry that the customer is unhappy with me and sees me in such a poor light I will try to come across in a more direct fashion and record more through notes. I agree with the client about the time. I wanted to lower the price because we were getting done in a shorter amount of time but the client wants the 1.75 hours. I have instructed my staff to pay more attention to arrival times and departure times I think that will help this situation. I am so sorry for any confusion we may have caused.
