ClearView Property Services

We used ClearView to clean the windows and screens at our home for a few years. They started off doing a good job, however over time the quality of their work declined and the last few times they came their work was barely adequate. They offer a number of services, so I asked them to price out some exterior powerwashing we needed done. Their price quote was absurdly expensive. Insultingly expensive. It was as if they were saying "We don't do this kind of work, but if you're dumb enough to pay this much for powerwashing, we'll take the business". I got three other, competitive quotes and all were for a small fraction of what ClearView quoted. We obviously will not be using them again.

After missing the first appointment, Chris did show up to the house with a co-worker to provide an estimate. Chris did not present himself in a professional manner and did not inspire confidence that he knew what he was doing or would be able to provide the service. I received a second estimate from another company which was much more professional.

We called Chris based upon a positive experience in the past to do some repair work on one of our rentals. Unbeknownst to us, Chris subcontracted the work to someone else who then brought in an unexperienced kid to do the work. They ruined everything they touched. Everything had to be completely redone and the $700 in materials we purchased was all wasted. Contractors we brought in later to clean up their mess strongly suggested we turn them into the contractor's board, it was THAT bad. Throughout the whole experience, Chris provided us with nothing but excuses, never took responsibility for what went wrong, blamed other people (including my tenants) and outright lied. The best was when, even after we paid him $1500 to "cover his expenses", we got sent a bill from the plumber. When we called him out on it, he sent the following response: "It was my understanding we had an agreement at $1500 to be done with everything we did on this project and that was because everything we did went wrong for one reason or another. As far as I'm concerned the toilet installation was the one thing that was done right . . . If you want to split their bill I would be willing as a matter of good faith with you . . . but it's my opinion it really wasn't our responsibility. . . Therefore it was not our bill. If you disagree let me know and I'll split it, but not because we are taking responsibility for it." Stay FAR, FAR, FAR away. I cannot say enough bad things about this whole experience and my dealings with them.

Vendor was not liscensed or insured but claimed to be. Work was unprofessional. Vendor used no primer but painted raw wood with poor quality paint. Instructions were very clear on required process. Vendor attempted to bill customer for additional work not requested. Very poor experience for all concerned. Work sight was a condo neighborhood and the work was contracted by a HOA that had to hire another painter to repair the flaking paint job.
