Was very polite when we first spoke and I took his word he would contact me around the first week of July and he did not. Service was not performed.
Description of Work: I spoke with Ed at the end of May and gave him the address to our building and he told me he was at least the first week in July. I promised my resident the windows would be cleaned. Ed today claims he has no recollection of our conversation and tells me I have to wait until the 3rd week in August. It would be unfair to grade a service that I never received. But I can share how disappointed I am that I was waiting and expecting the service and it isn't going to happen. And I certainly can't expect my resident to wait another 5 weeks. Extremely disappointed.

Found this provider on Angie's List after and quot;dealand quot; with another company never came to pass. This father/son team was on time, extremely efficient and incredibly polite. Excellent work ethic and the prettiest our windows have looked in a number of years. Will definitely use them again, and highly recommend this duo.

Response from POOR BOY'S WINDOW CLEANING COMPANY
Thank you for the kind words, and with a name like [member name removed], the house should go fast!! We always strive to be non-invasive and thorough. It is always nice to know that good, hard work is appreciated.. It helps keep small businesses like ours viable when people show their appreciation on sites like this. It does not go unnoticed, best of luck in your new residence. James Woody.. (the guy outside)

Last thing to do before closing on rental property was wash windows. Two other companies refused to do it because they could not remove the storm windows nor slide them so all windows could be washed in and out. I also could not get them to slide or come out, thats why I hired a professional. Mr Woody first informed me that he would not be available due to short notice and prior committments. About an hour later, he called back and said he could work me in. I explained about the windows and he said he was aware of that type of window and knew how to remove them. He and his son came out the next day, was able to remove the windows and in no time they were sparkling. He and his son were friendly, professional, courteous, obviously, knew what they were doing. He charged $150, the least of any others I called. I gave them a healthy tip for coming to my rescue
Description of Work: Washed 8 windows (including storm windows)

This is the second time (at a one-year interval) that we hired Poor Boy's. The quality of the work from this father-son team is beyond belief. They clean everything meticulously...sills included. The father has been cleaning windows for nearly 40 years, totally loves what he does, and has absolute pride in the quality of his work. I cannot say enough good things about this team.
Description of Work: Cleaned all of the windows, including many 20-pane windows, in my 5,000 square foot home. They also cleaned all of the exterior lighting fixtures.

We were having a party that weekend so I hired Poor Boys. They were real friendly, on time and did a great job. They even moved furniture so they could get to the windows. I thought they did a good job and would use them again.

This is a father/son (Ed/James) team, and they are amazing. Ed has been cleaning windows for 45 years, and James 20, and they work exceptionally well together. The price we paid was very reasonable for what was done...about $50 less than an estimate we had received from another reputable firm. My wife and I cannot say enough good things about this team.
Description of Work: We have a 4,500' 40-year-old home with about 40 windows (many 20-pane windows with storm windows...skylights as well), and they are now literally spotless. Ed and James showed up early in the morning, as promised, and also cleaned every sill and all areas around every window. We have some windows which no one has ever been able to open, and Ed and James opened and cleaned every one of them.

They arrived on time and were very professional. We had not had our windows professionally cleaned since we moved into our home about 4 years ago. We live near a tidal river so get salt spray during heavy winds. They brought all of the equipment they needed to clean all of the windows inside and out. They removed screens and cleaned them and the sills (good by coal dust!). They even repaired a screen bent by some fly-by-night cleaners who had 'cleaned' them two years ago. We have a two story Great Room with large windows the same size as the double sliding glass doors under them, and for the first time in years, they just sparkle. While they were cleaning, they noticed a large, fixed mirror in the same room and asked if we wanted it cleaned. We did! They only window that is not perfect is one that has lost its seal and the problem is between the layers of glass where they could not get at it. I plan to use them again for the outside in the spring and for the whole house next autumn.
Description of Work: They cleaned ~13 double-hung windows, 8 sliding glass doors, 3 fixed windows over the sliding glass doors and several fixed windows and two doors.

These guys are magnificant. Father and son team...got right to work really got into cleaning the sills, making a few recommendations to ensure window health, not sure what they use for cleaning solutions but windex or vinegar pales in comparison. The windows probably hadn't been cleaned in 15 years or so and they made short work of removing the grime. They also managed to open paint-sealed and unwieldy windows and get them cleaned out. I have window a/c units and they recommended my not having them do those yet since they couldn't ensure an adequate job. I will be calling tonight to schedule a fall follow-on appointment since the difference in the before and afters are truly amazing.

I called to arrange an appointment with this company in October and because of the holiday rush, it was several weeks before I could get an appointment. I can see why this company is so busy, however. They do great work. The team of two worked together to wash inside and outside of all my windows and also washed the window sills (inside and out) and cleaned the screens. The charge was 10.00 per window but they threw in several windows for no additional cost including the eight garage door windows and two small windows on either side of the front door. I was concerned about the window treatments but was assured that they could do the job without removing them. They did an amazing job. The windows sparked when they were done and I have to say I have not been able to see through those screens in awhile. One of my house guests over the holidays even asked me if I had new window treatments. I told her, "no...I just had the windows professionally washed." I know window washing is something we all think we can do on our own and spending money on this job might be a waste. Let me assure you...this was totally worth it. My windows still look great and I plan to have them come twice a year to do this job. The owner told me to call ahead about six months and just get on their books. They were on time and had the job complete in about an hour....no mess and no problems with the window treatments either. It's nice to be able to let the sunshine in!
Description of Work: I had all of my windows washed on a ranch house with a room over the garage window included. They washed both inside and outside.

They are from Angie's List. I spent under $300.00 and it is a good sized house. The service was all excellent. They were nice. They just did a great job. They left me with great windows and no drips on my window sills. It was a fair price.

I have used this company for at least 10 years, at least once a year. It is owned by Ed and he has used the same assistant for many years. He charges about $10 per window. He is absolutely excellent. I would highly recommend him. His prices are very reasonable, he is very responsive, and his work is great. He is also very fast!
Description of Work: I have 28 windows with screens. Some of the windows are second story in a two story living room. He cleaned the inside, outside, screens, and sill of every window. He was fast and efficient. My windows sparkled when he left.

Mr. Poor returned my call the same day, we set up an appointment for 2-3 weeks later (he's very busy), he called to confirm, he arrived on time, did a great job and was courteous at all times.
Description of Work: Mr. Poor and his son were prompt and courteous. They did an outstanding job of washing the windows on both sides, cleaning the window sills and the screens. What a difference. The windows were sparkling. I have 45 old fashioned windows so the price was fair.
