****Update:
After much back and forth, their resolution for this entire situation was to offer me $100 off with the exception that I remove my reviews. ....
As a person who frequently reads reviews, I find that keeping this review up is worth more than the $100 they bribed me with.
Always double/triple check the businesses you chose to hire !!!!
- They also had my Google Review publicly removed.
Terrible service. ****BEWARE****
I originally planned on hiring a cleaning service for a house that I am renting out when my tenants moved out.
I chose the "Move In/Move Out" service which provides everything from cleaning the cupboards to vacuuming the carpets.
I thought this would be perfect, as the house is completely empty, therefore; it shouldn't be too difficult to clean.
Once the cleaners got there, I got a call saying they would have to charge me $450.00 for them to clean the house ($150.00 more than I was originally quoted). They did so demeaningly. They chose unnecessary words such as "filthy," which I would not expect from a "professional" house cleaning company. The reason why I hired a third party cleaning company was to avoid the embarrassment of the condition of the home. I hired them for the sole purpose to clean, not "tidy." Despite them demeaning the cleanliness of the house, I chose not to argue and I agreed and had them bill me the updated amount. I just wanted to get the house clean as soon as possible. Later I got a call that they were "all finished." Once I came to the house, I seen that the carpets were not at all touched. Not even attempted. Even though they had assured me the house was "finished."
When I reached out to the company, the assured me that the cleaners "vacuumed as much as possible regardless of them being dirty and picked up as much as they can off the carpets with their hands." (Please see photos to show that they weren't not at all attempted.)
I sent them two emails letting them know my concerns of the carpets, however, they assured me that the cleaners had vacuumed the carpet and continued to disclose the dirtiness of the home (which had nothing to do with my major concern: the carpets). So the second email of them not assisting me with my concerns, I had to physically go into the home and vacuum myself to prove that they had not been touched. I sent them before and after photos and videos of me vacuuming them. This did not take me long and I used a regular Shark Vacuum. This got most of everything off the carpets. (I was told they had a top of the line Dyson vacuum which could not get anything off the carpets...).
Once they received the email with the before and after photos they told me that the photos "helped them understand the situation much better" and wanted to call me to discuss further.
Once they called me, I received more demeaning service, even after I told them how disappointed and upset I was over how this had to be handled.
This was after the fact I received emails from them already assuring me that they "vacuumed as much as possible regardless of them being dirty and picked up as much as they can off the carpets with their hands." Which are blatant lies as shown in the photos. The carpets are untouched without any sign of vacuum or human pickup.
I had to take time out of my day to email photo and video evidence that the vacuuming services were not complete.
After everything, I have no choice but to give a 0-star rating. I absolutely cannot recommend to anyone. Truly unsure why I had such terrible service. It does not make sense, as I tried to work with the company even after being quoted $150.00 more and also after trying to work with them by sending them two emails to let them know I was unsatisfied with the carpets. It was only after I showed photo and video proof were they serious about helping me, which even then they resisted from doing so. I was left with the full charge of $450.00 + GST over a service that was not complete (see photos).
The fact that I was lied to and demeaned over the condition of the house was not at all I expected from a house cleaning service. I have various pictures and videos showing evidence of a service that was assured to me to be completed but was not at all touched. I was blatantly lied to, demeaned, and made out to seem like it was my fault for not making aware of the dirtiness of the home. It's completely unbelievable to me that I was charged this much money and was being blatantly lied to and demeaned. This has been extremely unpleasant to deal with and when offered my concern with how everything was handled, they continued to make it as though it was my fault. As a company that provides this type of service, I cannot believe that this is how it had to be handled. Extremely upsetting. read more
