There was no exception…read morewhen I decided to hire Lilac Cleaning for a deep cleaning because I wanted one less task to takeoff my to-do list. The owner sold me on expectations (i.e., ceiling fans, baseboards, oven, doors, glass shower, everything would be clean). I asked if there was a preference for having someone home during the clean and was told they would rather clean while you're out which was fine. I had tons of things to do. Nonetheless, I couldn't wait to book the services!!! Initially, I was told she didn't have any openings for today. She later returned and said someone could come out to clean on the day that I requested. Oh yea, I forgot to mention that I live in new construction, it's just my daughter and I, and we've only been in the place a year and a half. It's not filthy at all. We honestly could've performed the deep cleaning ourselves and guess what?! This is exactly how it looked when I returned home. I'm beyond disappointed. The owner was very polite and did offer to come out and correct the issue but my trust in what would be done without me being present again went completely out of the window. After several exchanges asking for a partial refund I was sent the following message which I just couldn't accept: "I understand. Unfortunately because I did have a cleaner there and had to pay for the labor I'm unable to comp this clean. Like I said, I'd be happy to come clean it personally, even on a date closer to when you'll be home. I sincerely apologize." My response, "Can you pay the labor and return the remainder?" The refund wasn't even half of what I paid. Needless to say, I'm still on the search for a cleaning company who delivers as promised. I learned a very valuable lesson - Just get up and do it yourself if you have the time, energy, and resources. In this instance, it's okay to be picky. Try out Lilac Cleaning for yourself. Your experience may be entirely different.

Considering that 4 construction workers had well, wrecked the place previous to our moving in... we'd often wondered who took our new place from FILTHY to FABULOUS... and it was her! Finally in the 30 years I've lived in and moved all over the place, I didn't have to lose my ever-loving mind having to completely overhaul the place because she'd already meticulously and graciously taken care of that for me... and for that I couldn't have been more grateful... as someone with asthma and severe allergies to mold, dust, and pet dander (etc). Therefore, I will sing Starlin's and her awesome company's praises always. Personal integrity, taking pride in one's craft, listening to and respecting the customer, and paying attention to detail are everything. Miss Starlin is that... and so much more. Do yourselves a tremendous favor folks and hire them today! I promise you, you'll be glad you did!

Our roof was original to the house and thus 25 years old. It was time to replace it, and after we…read morerequested bids from three vendors we decided on Renfroe Roofing. Our point man was Shane Renfroe, and through the process he kept in contact with us. Their bid was refreshingly within our budget, and we chose the Rustic Hickory architectural shingles. The crew arrived early in the morning, laying tarps and getting items prepped. Our 7am wakeup was when they started removal of the old roof shingles and felt. Through the day they were active and engaged. The crew worked quickly, and were very professional and polite in our interactions. By 4:30 they were in the final stages of cleanup, and by 5 they were done. There were several passes with various magnetic devices in the final cleanup to try to catch as many of the nails and other metallic debris that had fallen during the activity. After they left I made a cursory round of the house and found only 2 nails. The next day my wife spotted a place in our guest room ceiling where the drywall/finish had cracked a bit. We asked Shane to send someone over to take a look at that and a few places where we had spotted gutter guards that had been pushed out of alignment. They arrived within a couple of days, and they after a thorough inspection of the area and the roof above was able to determine that there were no structural issues nor probable leak issues, and that it was just a thin roof/ceiling structure and some incidental movement with people moving around with bags of shingles. They straightened the gutter guards back in place and ran another set of magnet nail catchers around the house a few times just in case. Through the whole process, Renfroe Roofing provided good communication, timely work, and quality workmanship throughout the process. Beyond a few plastic "tags" blown about by the wind they did an excellent job of cleaning the area, and we are very happy with our new roof.

It was her first time cleaning my house, and she did an amazing job with all the usual things -- kitchen, bathrooms, floors, and general tidying -- but what really stood out were the thoughtful touches.

She also put away all my dishes, and somehow managed to get every single item into the correct cabinet or drawer like she'd been here a dozen times. She was incredibly sweet, very thorough, and you can tell she takes pride in her work. My home feels lighter, cleaner, and genuinely cared for. I'm so grateful Highly recommend!

Hank Sizemore drinks up his employees paychecks. 300 dollar tab at The dawg House on the 4th of July came out of his company account. He was 98 short paying them that tab. also, 3 bounced from last pay period and he makes sure he doesn't pay until after 5 on Friday so it can't be cashed. He claims to be professional but is anything but. He's had company check bounce numerous times and I was once told my paycheck was "no good" from the teller at his own bank. He's an alcoholic who cares about nothing but himself. Clients, beware. I don't recommend him to anyone! I wish I could give a rating of zero stars. read more

The reviews provided are by disgruntled ex-employees. They are no longer part of A Better Clean because 1. They could not uphold the standards set by us or 2. They thought we were a bank and could not manage their money from week to week and needed advances on their pay every week. We pay our employees above the current minimum wage and expect our employees to perform as such, if the customer and our company does not feel that the work is up to standards, then we do not feel it necessary to keep those type of employees on our teams. read more

Hmmmmm, Ok, I guess I shouldn't have scheduled a cleaning on a Friday afternoon, go figure, they were so anxious to get out the door to start their weekend early! And I didn't even get a full hour of cleaning and what was done was HALF-ASSED. First of all one worker used glass cleaner on our wooden furniture and she wiped half of a lazy-susan on our wooden breakfast table across the middle leaving dust visible on it and on the table. Several things in our living room like our entertainment center & mantle with lamps & pictures wasn't even touched. The bedrooms were done half-assed, most items were not even wiped off, I rubbed my finger on several things after they left & realized they were not even touched. I think they were just here to make an appearance, get a check, and get the hell out of my home. I would NOT RECOMMEND THIS CLEANING SERVICE TO ANYONE! This is some of the worst house cleaning I've ever had done, nothing but a total waste of $190.00 for less than one hour cleaning service. ECC, you got me once but never again! A TOTAL RIP-OFF!
