Yes, I fell for it... the Instagram ads with happy hipsters doing windows perfectly.
Two friendly guys arrived at my house. About half and hour into the cleaning, I overheard one of the guys saying they needed to be at another job soon and they needed to rush. When I asked the worker about it he said, oh "yes, but don't worry, we'll really hurry!" Not something you want to hear when someone is working on your house. I called the owner and he said he instructed them to take their time.
I noticed they did windows with a brush and a huge amount of water from these tanks they brought. They literally sprayed my French doors with this for more than 30 minutes, even though I told the owner not to do the French doors. All of my windows's woodwork around the house windows was scrubbed within an inch of it's life with these brushes and the water. They also didn't move my doormats so they were soaked.
I'm used to Dave the Window washer who just comes and does windows the old fashioned way with a squeegee. And everything is always perfect. Why did I stray?!
I was going to let it go but my woodwork and doors are so water-logged I still can't open a set of my french doors. And the paint inside, which was perfect is bubbling up. I will need to have someone out to fix this.
And yes I wanted them to not rush but just, wow... they took forever. It was awkward. They really seemed unsure of themselves and not professional.
