DO NOT USE ..STAY AWAY
I called 4 different companies in the area on a weekend from the internet search. This was the first to call me back and did an estimate that day. (should have been my first clue). I told him that i wouldn't be back in town til tuesday. i specifically told him that there was wax on the patio that melted down the furniture could he please try to get it off. He said no problem he would try. A lot my furniture was up on my upper deck under a roof, he went to the site knew this and knew i wouldn't be home to remove and that would be part of his fee. he told me $400 for patio and $725 for deck stripped washed and stained. I asked how much if I pay CASH. he said $1050. I said ok do it. I was delayed coming home Tuesday and already got two calls from him to come collect the money. He met me at my house with in 15 mins of me being home to collect. he told me he tried to get the wax up but couldn't (which i later did with a regular garden nozzle, even sent him a video of me doing it. the same with the wax on my lower deck, i removed that with a hose and a spachler. I already paid him the cash before i realized how easy i could have removed it myself. I knew i was sunk. He told me he can't power wash anymore so he sends his son. Now here comes the most unreal part.... my pool company opened my pool 2 weeks ago and they left the cover in a bag on my deck. When i asked my 13 year old son to drag it off to the patio I couldn't believe what i saw. Not only did he not bother to drag it off my deck, he power washed around it and then stained around the bag, You can't make this up... Then i walked around and saw all the other things he didn't do. Including all the pollen all over the furniture which i also sprayed off with a garden hose. He didn't have to scrub my furniture, but he could have at least hit it with the power washer while he was running it. when i called to complain and sent him pictures and video of all the bad work, he sent me a scathing text about how i am a rich guy and expect people to do what ever i want for them when i want, and guess what he said i am not one of those guys. he told me my son had a party there the night before and left a huge mess and it took his son an hour and a half to clean up. ( this by no means was his responsibility, but he threw cans in a black bag and left it on my grass, if it took his two guys that long to only do that, he should fire them, should have taken an extra 25 minutes and that generous, but still not his job to do) i told him i was sorry about that and if things were different i may have gave him extra for the hassle . My son and mother in law heard the two boys outside arguing about "why am i even here?" they clearly didn't want the work. After the scathing email and the rich guy comments he (anthony) told me don't bother to respond I'm blocking your number. If i can post his text i will, it will blow your mind, i promise.. If you are ever stuck and have to use this guy, DO NOT PAY HIM, til you inspect the whole job. I want to put this experience in a newspaper article with pictures, its unreal. I couldn't give 0 stars because they did show up......
Here is Anthony's email to me: absolutely RIDICULOUS. Who the hell r u that I shld clean your furniture for FREE after I took $75 off the price of the job and spent over a HOUR AND A
HALF cleaning up your back yard???? Explain to me how its NORMAL for a person ( you ) to possibly expect somebody to clean their furniture just because we had the power washer out. Maybe I shld have cleaned ur entire house while I had it out, and maybe maybe I shld have done ur front walk while we were there. Give me a break. Like I said, your just a rich person who thinks people shld just bow down to you and do whatever the Fuck u want them to do. Guess what, I'm not one of those people. U shld have had that pool cover off ur deck and ur son shld have cleaned up HIS mess and not leave it for my son to do. Don't bother responding because I blocked ur number and won't get it anyway. read more
