I was hesitant to write a review, since we never actually received the service. But with Angie's List's encouragement, this is based on my experience attempting to hire Extra Step. Based on my address, which is in Wildwood, Extra Step came up as a recommended provider for regular cleaning service. I was encouraged by their overwhelmingly positive reviews, and I appreciated their emphasis on green cleaning supplies and practices. I selected them, then went to their website to fill in their questionnaire to guide the quote for service. It seems I left the Master Bath off the form, and I got a very abrupt, one-line email from...someone. I say "someone," because there were no niceties, no courtesies, no explanation of who was contacting me. Not even a signature line. Just, "No master bath?" as the full content of the email, sent from an iPhone. Were it not for the email address indicating I was communicating with
[email protected], it could have been spam. I responded that I did, in fact, have a master bath, and I apologized for the omission. For good measure, I included the rooms I was hoping to have cleaned in my emailed reply. "Are you in eureka? [sic] You might be out of our service area." came the similarly clipped reply, four hours later. I clarified that I am in Wildwood, that Angie's List had suggested them based on our address, and that she should advise me if she wasn't interested in serving us. And that was the end of the exchange. No further contact, no apologies for any confusion, no explanations. Just silence. So my review has nothing to do with the quality of their work, their punctuality, to any other measure related to actually doing the work. But for professionalism, courtesy, any respect that should mark at least the beginnings of a business relationship? Nope. I'll look elsewhere.
