I started a review on this company and apparently it was way too long to post, so here's the short and not-so-sweet review: Like other reviewers, I bought the Groupon and felt pretty misled with the offerings. Looked at other companies that were cheaper and Ben at Totally Clean reassured me that I would get the best service from them for the price we were paying ($400 including the Groupon voucher, which was $100 over EVERY other company). Positives to the experience: 1) James the technician was extremely nice and helpful. 2) Our ducts are hopefully clean (I still haven't gotten the before and after pictures from Totally Clean or the technicians). Negatives to the experience: 1) Although John the technician was nice, he showed up late, in an oversized black hoodie and in his own car. Not a good representation of the company, at all. 2) When a speaker wire was pulled out of the wall, the technician didn't say anything about it. Had my boyfriend not been home and witnessed it, he would have come home to a broken sound system. Talk about integrity, huh?! 3) The Groupon is misleading. There are companies on Groupon who want to provide ACTAUL deals in order to build their clientele and obtain great reviews/recommendations, and then there are companies who use Groupon to get consumers to purchase their insufficient deal, only to lead them to a higher costing price tag. Totally Clean is the latter. 4) Ben was made aware of the accident with the speaker wires and offered up the help of the technicians to repair it. This is easier said than done, especially with old plaster walls and vents. I'm not one for hand-outs, but we were promised a positive experience for $400, and instead, we were left trying to fix the situation when we should not have needed to supervise the work being done. I believe customer service to be the main artery of a business, and unfortunately, Ben needs some work. I told him how upset my boyfriend was about the sound system (because let's face it ladies, these guys NEED their sound system or no one's happy) and literally got a snarky reply of "well, that's why you don't run wires through the vents. It's an easy fix but not the smartest". Well no shit, Sherlock! Had these wires not already been here when we bought the house, we wouldn't have even bothered with busting out the walls to put them in. We simply used what was already in place, but thank you for the teaching session, Ben. Anyway... Ben had called us back the next day to get more information about billing, and was so kind as to ask us if we had fixed the wiring for the sound system (insert sarcasm here). I laughed, as if he was going to do something if I said no...? Regardless, it's over and we've found an easy fix for the problem, but it was the principal behind the crappy customer service that pissed me off. 5) They tell you they're going to clean everything up when they're done. HA!! No... they don't. My basement was trashed, my rooms had clumpy dust bunnies all over (that apparently couldn't get vacuumed up with the rest of the crud?), and there was debris over all horizontal surfaces. Be prepared to clean up after them!! 6) What REALLY got to me, was that I have an art table down in the basement where I keep some canvases, art supplies, etc. I had some canvas artwork I had recently done laying on the table. I came downstairs to see this GIANT drill bit they use for the vents laying ON TOP of my artwork... CANVAS artwork. Was there not enough space ANYWHERE ELSE to lay down this huge drill bit?! At that point, I was checked out. I had given this company and its employees the benefit of the doubt for literally every poor experience up until this point but this sent me over the edge. Once the technicians left, we were just pleased to have the experience done and over with.
So overall, I'm not 100% pleased. I'm about 20% pleased. Directly on the website it states, "Customer Service is our #1 Priority; Highest Quality of Service; Most Competitive Pricing". I wouldn't say that any of these are accurate, by anyone's standards. If I had to do this all over again, I would go with a different company. In fact, someone from our neighborhood website posted asking about duct cleaning services. She will not be getting a recommendation for Totally Clean, and I would advise everyone to look elsewhere. read more
