I couldn't be happier with the service and results from my powerwashing experience with PWS. For…read morethe past couple years, our family has stared at moss covered, dirty, moldy trampoline on our property which has restricted our children from using it. In just 1 service call, Rich and his team went above and beyond to restore our trampoline to 'like new' and since then our kids haven't jumped off for even a second. The service was booked easily and the work was completed efficiently and in a safe and methodical manner. I will gladly be using PWS for future powerwashing needs.

I do not normally take the time to write reviews and I definitely do not enjoy speaking negatively…read moreabout small businesses. However, the poor quality of work and damage to my property caused by Rich / PWS of Bergen County was so abysmal that I felt the need to share these details with other potential customers. Make your own decisions, of course, but ignore my experience at your own peril. During and after completion of the job, there were a number of issues I raised to Rich. He accepted no responsibility for damage caused to my property, ignored the defects that I noted in his work, and was dismissive when I offered him opportunities to make things right. I am including some specific examples here, along with the attached photos, which speak for themselves. 1) Damaged Wood Front Door - PWS used bleach ("SH" or "Sodium Hypoclorite") under pressure to wash my front wood door. The result was that it stripped off some of the polyurethane finishing. Rich said his crew did not wash the front door - however - I have it on video. His proposed solution was to pay him several hundred dollars more to stain parts of my front door --- no thanks, Rich. I was quoted $3,500 by an actual professional to properly fix this damage, which requires sanding and refinishing two large front doors. 2) Unlevel Pavers - Despite paying over $1,600 to relevel a small section of pavers in front of my garage to direct the flow of water away from my home into a drain, what he instead did was create a new area for water to pool, making the problem even worse than when I started - both functionally and visually. When I raised this to Rich, he blamed me for agreeing to do it that way, which I obviously did not do knowingly, and even if it were a misunderstanding, his aggressively defensive response was unprofessional. His suggestion was to pay him more to fix it.  3) Damaged Hardie Board Siding - My #1 concern before having my home washed was to ensure the siding wouldn't get damaged. I discussed this concern with Rich extensively and he assured me that his process used a mix of safe chemicals and a safe level of pressure to avoid damage. When I pointed out the permanent marks on my siding to him, he said they were shadows from nearby trees and that his crew uses horizontal pressure washing strokes, so it couldn't have been him. Of course, I observed his crew making plenty of vertical strokes with high pressure. 4) Damage to Roof - When cleaning the gutters (part of his home wash package), parts of my roofline were pressure washed without my approval. This left the visual impact of having parts of my roof discolored and also washed off some of the shingle granules. When I raised this to Rich, he told me "The guys are up there on your roof fighting for their lives with pressure washers, what do you expect?" His suggestion to correct the defect was to "rub dirt on the clean part" or pay another $700 to wash parts of my roof. 5) Incorrect Application of Polymeric Sand - I paid extra to have my pavers washed and "resanded" with polymeric sand, which when installed correctly is meant to harden. Days after the work was completed, I pointed out to Rich that there were numerous spots that were either very soft or where the polymer had washed away (leaving just plain old sand). He told me a combination of that's how it was supposed to look and that it would continue to harden, which was obviously not correct. A month later, the sand is already failing and has been washed/blown away in multiple places. 6) Plant Damage - Rich told me that they avoid damage to plants by spraying clean water on them before, during and after the chemical / bleach is applied. However, as you can see in the photos (taken over a month after the work), numerous plants and large areas of grass were permanently destroyed. If you've read this far - thank you. As I mentioned above, I don't take pleasure in causing a small  business to lose customers. However, there were simply too many issues with PWS and lost opportunities by Rich to fix them to ignore. The final straw was when I showed the work to another contractor - they were incredulous about how poor the work was. I suspect that Rich will respond to this review and again deny responsibility. Anyway - potential customers, you've been warned.

I cannot say enough kind things about Gilligan's power washing. Not only is the service itself…read moreabsolutely amazing, but the customer service is fantastic too. Pricing is upfront and reasonable, and communication is consistent. Prior to your appointment, Brian gives you a time frame- and that is EXACTLY when he arrives. He clearly explains the process and what to expect. He does the job, and is meticulous. There is also follow up, and he checks on his work after everything is done. Now for the super kudos- it started to torrentially downpour toward the end of the job- I caught this man on camera, in the rain, moving my plants back to their original location. Service of this quality is RARE nowadays- I HIGHLY recommend Gilligan's power washing.

Oy vey, where do I even start with Steve's Window Washing? I've been around for many years, let me…read moretell you, and never have I experienced such a lack of professionalism and downright rudeness. I called up Steve to get an estimate for my windows; I'm selling my house, you see. But instead of the courteous response I was expecting, I was met with gruffness and impatience. It's as if this young man has never heard of manners! I've worked hard my whole life, and it's not too much to ask for a little respect, is it? And the nerve of this man! He went on and on about how run-down my fixer-upper is and even had the audacity to say he didn't like the Camden area. As if the neighborhood has anything to do with his inability to clean windows properly! Now, about the work ethic--simply non-existent. He promised me an estimate and never delivered. Any reputable business would honor its commitments. It leaves me wondering how this operation can possibly be insured. Is this what passes for acceptable business conduct these days? And it's more than just business; it's about basic human decency. The man has a family, and its a shunda to think what values he's passing on to them. If he can't even be trusted to keep a simple promise, what does that say about his character? I would never recommend Steve's Window Washing to anyone. If this is how he runs his business, I can't imagine he'll keep it afloat for long. I'm just glad I found out before making the mistake of hiring him.
