I hired this company after being cold called by their sales rep, Richard, who is a fantastic sales person. He convinced me NOT to use another company because the oil sealant that I was told by that other company makes a roof dangerously slick to walk on for future services. He also assured me that they give a 100% guarantee and if I was unhappy for any reason, Clean425 would come back to make sure I am satisfied.
Long story short, no quote given to confirm phone conversation or the price. The technician, Christian, had a Work Order on his phone for over $500 more than what I agreed to with Richard. Christian gave me half the difference as a discount and I agreed to eat the other half & allowed them to proceed because the three crew members seemed sweet and eager to work.
Around 3 pm I received an invoice emailed for work not even completed, and no sign of the promised before & after photos.
Christian and his 2 unnamed female assistants soon afterwards informed me they were finished. I was horrified because the moss was clearly still on my roof, just brown & ugly instead of green. After much convincing and logic with them about how I engaged their service for "moss removal", they stayed until after 7 pm to hand brush the dead moss off my roof, as I agreed to for the initial cost over $2,700. I later heard loud motor noise, so I went to check on their progress to find that they were on my roof - power washing it!
This was something I specifically informed Richard that I did NOT want done. I have this on video as I yelled up to Christian to ask him why he was power washing my roof. His response was that it was "better" (faster). Both he and one of his female assistants were doing it simultaneously. Christian then came down to promise they had it on a low setting and that he was confident they would not damage my Presidential roof, which cost me $50K a few years ago. I wasn't happy about it and even told Christian that I was shaking mad and felt like crying as I walked back into my house in shock and utter disappointment. They finished the work after 7 pm when I couldn't clearly see anything. Christian informed me that his manager would return another day to make sure all is right. Gutters were also never cleaned.
I called the next day to be immediately hung up on. I called again to speak with Ron & Richard (sales reps). They apologized to me for being unhappy & said their service manager, Adam, would return my call. I tried to let them know that I had a meeting which I was now late for, but that I would appreciate the manager coming to my house the following day after 9 am. We hung up and immediately Adam Butner called me anyway. He was EXTREMELY rude and instead of listening to my concerns, yelled at me, accusing me of being rude & told me that he was told that I was yelling at eight (8) of his employees all day long, the day before. I asked him who all those people are, but he only rattled off 3 or 4 names and told me he doesn't have to answer any questions and when I informed him that I was still waiting for the before & after photos, he barked at me to pay the invoice or he will "file a lien" against my home! He also insulted me about what I should know about business as a real estate broker & let me know that he was stalking me online about my business. It was clear to me now that he has evil intentions to keep my photos for what my imagination can only assume, with his bad behavior, would be to case out my property and cause me much undue duress and possibly physical harm and/or property damage or whatever else he decides to do. I immediately called the police and filed a police report. Adam called later that day to let me know he was contacted by the police and was told by the officer that he didn't understand my concerns and said I also was disrespectful to the police officer, by yelling & screaming at him. I called the officer to ask him if that was accurate and was told it was not. The officer informed me that he advised him to not have contact with me and that we should resolve our issue with the courts. I fully agree, but obviously Adam chose to call me again instead, to try to bully me AGAIN.
I have since requested the before & after photos at least 6 times, to no avail. Adam had claimed he is an owner, but records show on-line (Adam told me to check with the Department of Licensing, which I did) that the owners are Eric & Chad Mills. I checked with the Secretary of State and found out that Adam Butner is the "governing body", so no where does it state he is an ower. Another lie from Adam. He had also said that he gave the photos AND a video of me screaming at his employees, to his attorney and that his attorney will send me the photos and video.
It is a week later and still no before and after photos. If you look at the Work Order that the technician texted me from his phone, you can see that the sales rep had noted that I am nice but picky & detail oriented! read more
