UPDATE (July 9, 2025):
After posting the review below, the business owner escalated the situation by leaving a 1-star Google review on the page of my employer -- a completely unrelated business. In that review, he made false claims about my conduct and advised others not to hire me. I have never contacted this person outside of leaving public reviews, and I have blocked all further contact.
This action appears retaliatory and inappropriate. I have reported it to the Better Business Bureau, the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, and the FTC.
I stand by the review below, which reflects my honest experience as a prospective customer.
[Updated to address owner's response and clarify timeline.]
I reached out to this business via their website to get the air ducts cleaned in my duplex. After submitting their contact form, I was quickly texted and asked to send pictures and videos of both furnaces, which I did promptly and completely. They confirmed receipt and said they'd send a prep list, then communication abruptly stopped.
Over 25 hours passed with no follow-up, so I sent a text asking for an update. I received no reply. At that point, I reasonably concluded they were no longer interested and chose to leave a review to reflect my experience.
Immediately as I was submitting the review, I received a phone call from them -- too late, as I had already hired someone else. I did not answer. They then sent a text acknowledging they had just seen my follow-up.
Rather than take responsibility, the business replied to my review publicly and posted my full legal name (including my middle name) -- which does not appear on my public Google profile and which I never gave them permission to share. This is a clear privacy violation and feels like retaliation.
They also imply that I'm unreasonable or dishonest by telling others to "click my name and see the type of reviews he leaves." I welcome anyone to do so -- over half my reviews are positive 5-star feedback, and any criticism I've posted is respectful and factual. This kind of response is unprofessional and borders on gaslighting.
This review reflects my honest experience: I was responsive, patient, and gave them a fair chance. The poor communication and inappropriate public reply speak for themselves. read more
