I was a repeat customer, requested quote for a small two-bedroom loft condo. Dan indicated he could give me "a good deal." I requested the same service as last time and was told, "I won't charge no more than $250, if we did the same thing. I explained to Dan that he did not have to move ANY furniture, no stains or difficult areas to clean, very easy job-only open areas need to be cleaned." He then quoted me $225.
-Arrived 9:15am, departed 10:45am. Worked approximately one hour.
-We did a complete walk through the condo to ensure Dan knew exactly what needed to be done. Dan asked me if I wanted the stairs cleaned. I replied, "Yes." Dan never mentioned he charges "extra" for stairs, not once during the walk through or by texting. He had every opportunity to do so and he chose not to.
-Asked Dan if he could lightly run over the two small foyer rugs with the cleaner. He replied, "Yes." Never mentioned additional charge for rugs.
-Never asked him to clean carpet tiles. He cleaned them anyway.
-Upon check-out, Dan told me I owed him $300! He tried to shame me into believing he did me a favor in cleaning the carpet tiles and that he charges $75 for each flight of stairs. Dan tried to convince me that I got a "deal," because he was only charging me for one flight of stairs, not two.
-I expressed my dismay and decided to pay Dan his requested $300, because I wanted to write this honest review. I didn't want the review to be about Dan arguing about price.
-Dan did a sufficient job in cleaning my carpet, hence the two star review.
-Use Dan if you would like your carpets cleaned.
-LESSON LEARNED: Get everything in writing. Make Dan sign a contract on agreed price and work to be completed. He doesn't use contracts, but I would ask him for one. read more
