Service people arrived on time, and were very pleasant. They did an excellent job; the windows are spotless. They completed the work in about 45 minutes. When I initially called to schedule the appointment, I left a message and received a call back within 1/2 hour. The person I spoke with was very thorough in explaining pricing to me, and made ever effort to schedule an appointment time that would be most convenient for me.
Description of Work: They cleaned all windows inside and out, including screens.

They came to clean the windows. They were efficient. One employee was courteous and the other was not as polite and not as detailed oriented. I asked him to clean around a specific area, but the employee wasn't as thorough as I would have liked. I would like my windows cleaned how I would clean them myself. They were not as thourough as I would have liked.

They're a little backed up so I had to wait two weeks for an appointment but it was worth the wait. They were in and out in less than a hour. I called the day before to change the appointment time to later in the day and that was not a problem. They arrived at the time I requested. The windows are spotless. It would have taken me an entire afternoon. More than worth the $70 and I will be having them back in the Fall.
Description of Work: Cleaned four large windows in my 3rd fl apartment along with the screens.

On Angie's List, the service provider specifies that it does work in Westchester. However, when I called, I was told that I live too far away and they won't come up here to clean my windows (I have about 26 windows). I live in Yonkers, near Bronxville, which is literally the first town over the border in Westchester County. So, if they don't perform services here, then they clearly don't provide any services to Westchester County and they are giving false information on their listing. ANGIE's LIST - please have them REMOVE Westchester County as one of the counties that they provide services to as that is a lie.

Response from Big Apple Window Cleaning
Dear [Removed Member Name] , Thank you for your review. Yes, we do service Client's in Westchester. Unfortunately, we were not able to schedule your job due to overbooking. It was a peak of the season and we had too many large and challenging projects going. It is our company policy to under-promise and over-deliver, so we would rather admit we can't do it, then make it less then perfect. Sincerely, Big Apple Window Cleaning Customer Service Team

After explaining that I would need the use of their cherry picker as my windows had been painted shut from the inside, they sent 2 men to wash my windows with no means of getting access to my windows from the outside. Once they confirmed they could not do the job, they said they would report back to their company what needed to be done, and someone would be in touch. No one got in touch with me, so I called them. They apologized said they would investigate, and get back to me with a solution by the end of the day. They never called. I called them again to confirm that they did not want/could not do the job, and they agreed they couldn't do the job. Therefore, I have to summarize my experience as very disappointing - my initial request was ignored, the follow-up was non-existent and upon further inquiry they admitted their cherry picker had been damaged in Hurricane Sandy. I can only conclude that they had no problem wasting my time (which is the most frustrating part of this frustrating experience) because they set up an appointment regardless of my specific request for the cherry picker and explanation of why I would need it. I would not recommend them.
Description of Work: Ultimately, they did not perform any services.

Response from Big Apple Window Cleaning
Dear [Removed Member Name] , Thank you for your time and your comment. I'm the owner of this business and I do appreciate negative reviews, because they make us better. Yes, the situation you've described did took place. Our company was badly hit by Sandy and it took us over a year to fully recover. The only bucket truck we had at that time was under water. We were trying to repair it, but in the end we just replaced it with brand new one. I apologize one more time for the frustration and inconvenience. We've learned our lesson and as of today we own and operate the biggest fleet of bucket trucks in North America. From our highest bucket truck we can clean windows even of 22 floor (up to 230' high). If you ever decide to give us another chance we'll be happy to assist you. Sincerely, Big Apple Window Cleaning Owner

Workers showed up about 15 minutes late. Weather was bad so perhaps excusable but a call would have been helpful. Workers did not have a good command of English and had trouble explaining to me how they planned to do the work. Lead worker had a bad temper and became frustrated explaining one piece of work he was unable to do. Later after looking more closely he realized he could do the work. Windows ended up clean but for the premium pricing--all told an hour of unskilled work--the staff could have been more customer service oriented. I would not rule out using this firm again since my windows are now much cleaner but I would try other firms before I came back to this one.

Did a great job on windows, but did not clean tops of radiator covers under the windows. when I called for a second cleaning, some months later, the price has risen by more than 20%, $30. I deemed $150 too much to clean four windows, so have not used them since.

Dear Member, Thank you for choosing Big Apple Window Cleaning to clean your windows. When we arrived to clean your windows - the crew was limited to the maximum quote we provided on the phone. Instead of 4 windows you have 4 sets of windows. The cleaning crew finished the job as promised. They didn't charge you anything in excess of what you were quoted on the phone. The team Leader reported to the office and changes were made to the Work order to reflect the actual time spent for the job. When you called us the next time - the Customer Service Representative gave you the new price based on the actual time we spent when cleaned your windows the first time. We are sorry for any confusion and hope to see you as our client in the future again. Sincerely, Big Apple Window Cleaning Customer Service Team

Dear Member, Thank you very much for choosing our company and taking your time to post a comment. Estimating on the phone is not easy but saves us and our clients lots of time. Windows are very different and have different levels of "dirtiness" and accessibility which can not be always properly evaluated over the phone. This factors can really make a big difference in time spent for the job and as a result - the pricing. That's why our Customer Service Representatives usually give customers the price range based on the information provided by the client and their understanding of the project. We really appreciate your understanding and will do everything possible to make sure Big Apple Window Cleaning meets and exceeds your expectations every time you need professional window cleaning. We look forward to clean your windows every Spring and Fall for many years to come. Sincerely, Big Apple Window Cleaning Customer Service Team

I have a two bedroom apartment of the 11th floor of a high rise in Manhattan. When I called to make the appointment, I informed the receptionist that I had a lot of windows - 34 windows that were roughly 6 feet tall. I knew it was a big job and told her so. The window cleaner arrived at the arranged time, but as soon as he entered the apartment and saw the scope of the job he began complaining about how much work it was going to be. He continued to do this throughout the several hours it took to clean the windows. He cleaned both the inside and the outside, but he did splatter dirty water on my walls and baseboards in every room and didn't clean it up. I was happy with the cleanliness of the windows, but his attitude was so unprofessional that I never used this company again. I should have called the manager to inform him/her, but I just chose the easy way out and hired someone else the next time.

Dear Member, Would you please do us a favor and review your records. Very often people confuse our company with Apple window cleaning. We are Big Apple window cleaning. We have checked our records and we could't find neither your name nor your address in our database. Also, please consider these facts: 1. We do not have any male Customer Service Representatives who pick up the office phone lines - all our SCRs are females; 2. We never send 1 person to do the work - there are always 2 technicians in all of our teams; 3. We couldn't have charged you $500 for 34 large windows. This is Apple's $12 per window policy. Our prices for the Professional window cleaning services in your building start at $25 per window. We would really appreciate if you would give us a chance to serve you in the future.

The young men who arrived were very nice and professional. They cleaned the windows well and left no mess around. Granted my windows are relatively new and we clean the insides ourselves, but they cleaned both inside and out. I would use them again.

I got a voicemail on Monday morning, saying that they wouldn't be able to come because it was raining, which was okay with me because I had scheduled the cleaning for Wednesday. It worked out okay, and when the window washer came for the "rescheduled" Wednesday appointment, he said there would be a $10 discount because they couldn't come on Monday. The cleaning was quick and effective, and the windows look good. The only snag was that the washer couldn't get clean some spots that he said were due to corrosion of the metal screens. But he said that it could be cleaned with some special acid, and that in the future, we should inform the company when making an appointment that the acid would be required.

They did a great job. I went through Angie's List and they had a high rating and a coupon. They were licensed and I hadn't had much luck finding a good window cleaning company elsewhere. I think their prices are about market, they aren't super cheap but they're fair.
