Unless you're willing to take a detailed video of your entire home before the cleaners come, I do not recommend hiring this company.
We hired E&K for a one-time clean that we had truly HOPED would become a regular weekly or bi-weekly relationship. Needless to say, we will NOT be using E&K again.
Overall, the cleaning itself was fine - it wasn't amazing, but it was worth the price.
The issue was that the crew dripped something on the floor in our kitchen that took the finish off the hardwood floors - see the photos I've attached.
I contacted the company and showed them photos of the damage. They scheduled a time the next day for the manager to speak with me.
The manager said there is no way their cleaners could have done this damage, because they don't use chemicals harsh enough and because their cleaners are "trained" to come and tell the client immediately if they break or damage something.
I told her the damage had to have been done by the crew (or it was literally magic), as the problem was not there when I left for work that morning (it is a very conspicuous spot that you could not miss), but my husband noticed it immediately after they left just a couple hours later.
She still insisted it could not be their fault. She indicated they have had clients lie about damages in the past for the insurance. She offered a ~30% discount on the single cleaning ($40 out of $140 - nowhere near enough to repair the damage). In other words, she implicitly accused me of lying because she has been cheated by people in the past - ironic, because I actually wanted nothing more than an apology and a promise they'd talk to their cleaners about slowing down and being more careful (something I never got -- she never even asked me what she could do to make it right, nor was she even willing to slightly indicate it possibly could have been their fault). I declined the $40 and let her know I didn't want any compensation - we already had plans to refinish this floor, and so, while unsightly until the refinishing work will be done in August, it actually is no material harm to us. All I wanted was her to know that her cleaners had caused damage, and to take that seriously.
I told her how incredibly disappointed I was that they were not taking responsibility for the damage done. She insisted they were "taking responsibility," by "calling me back" and then arguing with me and insisting their crew could not have done the damage.
Ultimately, if their crew does damage and doesn't notice, or does damage and doesn't feel like fessing up, E&K will clearly just argue about it and offer a nominal discount; honestly, I'll be shocked if they don't reply to this review with something to the effect of "it cannot have been us, our staff doesn't use harsh chemicals and are trained to admit mistakes." That may be true, but certainly, I had absolutely no incentive to fabricate damage and then literally ask for no monetary compensation in return. So I leave it to you to determine who is likely responsible for the damage. THANK GOD I was already going to refinish this floor, or they'd have a lawsuit on their hands.
So, if you are thinking about using E&K, I recommend you take photos and videos of your entire home every single time they are going to come (it likely won't be the same crew each time), because if they damage something and the crew doesn't notice or admit it, E&K will NOT take care of you. I didn't even want anything, and I'm upset enough at the interaction to write this review. That should tell you what you need to know. read more
