Lars Lawn Care has been maintaining my property for three or four years now, and I rely on them for…read morekeeping my yard neat. I have distinct directions about what to cut back, what to let grow and have been able to get that from this small company. In the winter, when the garden and lawn lie dormant Lars Lawn Care's bill is proportionate to the actual time needed to do the job. I have also asked for house chores as well and Lars Lawn Care can handle that, eave clearing, window washing, power washing, eliminating roof moss. the list goes on. I bet if I had a dog someone on the team would be happy to walk it. Just kidding on that last item, but I have had good results with this company.

Lianne applied for a job with my company on indeed and we responded by asking some preliminary…read morequestions to help us get to know her better and determine the best fit for our team. These were the questions she was asked: Do you have a reliable cell phone and service in Tillamook and surrounding areas? What type of transportation do you use to get to jobs, and is it dependable for travel to nearby areas like Manzanita, Rockaway, or Bay City? Are you currently taking on new clients under Mer-clean by the maid, or are you looking to work as part of another team? What days and times are you typically available to clean or inspect properties? Would you be open to last-minute or emergency cleanings if the need arises? What types of cleaning supplies and equipment do you currently own and use for jobs? For example: vacuum, mop system, staging items, microfiber cloths, natural or commercial cleaners. Do you provide your own linens, paper products, or guest amenities for properties you clean? What's your process for maintaining your supplies between jobs (e.g., keeping them clean, stocked, and ready)? You arrive at a vacation rental and realize that the previous guest left a large mess--trash not taken out, sand everywhere, stained linens. How do you approach the situation to make sure it's guest-ready on time? A homeowner calls and says a guest found hair in the tub and dirty dishes in the cupboard after your clean. What steps would you take next? If you're partway through a clean and realize you forgot a key supply or tool, what do you do? You find damage to the property that wasn't there during your last visit--a broken chair or missing remote. How do you handle documentation and communication? If you're running behind and the next guest arrives in less than an hour, how do you prioritize tasks and ensure the home meets expectations? Have you ever had a disagreement with a client or another team member? How did you handle it? As someone who has run your own cleaning business, how do you balance high standards with efficiency? Can you tell me about a time when you made a mistake on a job? What happened, and how did you resolve it? What would you do if you found money, valuables, or something suspicious while cleaning? How do you handle feedback or criticism from a property owner or manager? What are your deal-breakers--what would make you turn down a job or walk away from a client? What do you think sets a great housekeeper or property inspector apart from an average one? You've worked both independently and with companies--what's your preferred environment and why? Cleaning can be physically demanding and repetitive. What keeps you motivated and consistent in your work? Not one of these questions is not relative to the industry or to the position she applied. *Her response was shocking. Instead of simply withdrawing her application or simply saying it wasn't a good fit, she chose to respond this way: Lianne Kerlinger * 12:19 am I didn't sign up to write an essay about cleaning I filled out my resume form and sent it to see about working for you but I've changed my mind I didn't have the time or patience for, moving forward I'm good and have challenged my mind about working for this company. If Lianne can't answer these questions and they frustrate her enough to be rude, imagine how she will represent you or your property or respond when you have a question about your property.

Yelp submitted various businesses for yard work I needed done. She replied and I didn't respond…read morebecause she does house cleaning, not yard work as you can see in the messages I attached. Calling me names and saying I wasted her time because I didn't respond when I would've been wasting her time if I did respond for a service she doesn't offer- Clearly not someone that should be running a business- funny that one of her five star reviews is from herself.
