Wishing I could rate them using "negative stars." The owner came to pressure wash my home the first time. OK job. Two yrs. later, same company and the owner sent some kid who appeared to be 18-20-just my best guess. (missed about 1/3 of the home-especially the top areas.) Two yrs. later, same company and the owner sent some kid who appeared to be 18-20-just my best guess. (missed about 1/3 of the home-especially the top areas.) Then....THE final straw. I had an asphalt company get sealer all over my garage flooring since they did the driveway just before an angled serious downpour which washed the black sealer into the garage flooring. (it covered about 1/4 of the concrete in spots.) I bought a very expensive commercial stripping agent and called Preferred Pressure Washing for him to use the stripper with his power washer. He agreed to "give it a shot" for 100.00, but could not make me any promises about the results. I figured that was fair, and worth the 100.00 risk. (before moving into a 900.00 diamond grinding process.) He did not get a SINGLE droplet removed. OK. We had an agreement. So, what is the issue?!
Well, get ready folks! B4 he started the work he stepped onto my porch & spotted my elderly neighbor getting her mail. She is old enough to be his mother. He literally yelled at the top of his lungs, "Hey do you know this guy?!" (meaning me of course.) She yelled back, "Yes, he is our favorite neighbor!" He continued the yelling across the street and screamed, "Hey maam will you come over here?!" I started to freak out at how rude a man could be to ask an elderly woman to do this instead of walking over himself and wondered what the heck he wanted from her anyway! He remained firmly planted with his arms crossed and said, "Maam, I just want you to know we agreed on a price of 100.00 regardless of the outcome of my work." She just looked perplexed, confused and quite shocked. I told her very quietly and calmly I was sorry for his behavior and asked her to go ahead and go home. He went about his "1/2 arsed" efforts and did not remove a droplet. Of course I had the 100.00 check already written in my pocket. REMEMBER, this was after paying him in full while on my property for TWO prior vinyl siding jobs. Why would he call her over??!!! I just talked to her the other day about it, (since her grandson was pressure washing her home & it brought up the horrible memory of Paul Reed) and she said of course she remembered it very well but still had no clue what he wanted from her. I said, "Neither do I!!!" A court witness maybe in case I did not pay him?? Could he hope to have a court subpoena her for a 100.00 case? How absurd. If I were dishonest or a liar, I COULD have refused payment and said I gave him 100.00 cash and not paid him a cent. (of course, I am a man of my word and gave him the 100.00 check.) WHAT A JOKE OF A COMPANY. STAY AWAY. HE WILL TRY TO MAKE A FOOL OF YOU IN FRONT OF YOUR NEIGHBORS AND LACKS TRUST IN PEOPLE. EVEN PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS PAID WHILE ON SITE & IN FULL EVERY TIME IN THE PAST. read more
