Poor customer service - showed no courtesy, no manners while talking. Their egos are much bigger than the meager customer service they provide. Edited to answer owner’s reply: Thank you for your response - Mr Owner. Let me clarify that requesting a competitive price is a normal part of doing business and should never be confused with disrespecting anyone’s time or expertise. My review was not about your pricing or your willingness to offer discounts. It was about the attitude, tone, and lack of courtesy demonstrated during our communication. A free estimate is a standard business practice, not a favor that obligates a customer to accept the quoted price. As a customer, I have every right to compare prices and make an informed decision, just as you have every right to decline the work. Professionalism and mutual respect should remain intact regardless of whether a business transaction takes place. I stand by my review and wish you well. 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 – 𝗠𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲: Your response continues to miss the fundamental point of my review. Let me make it absolutely clear: 𝗠𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀. 𝗜𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲, 𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Requesting a competitive price is a perfectly normal and legitimate business practice. You have every right to decline further discounts, just as customers have every right to negotiate, compare quotations, and make informed decisions. What is disappointing is your repeated attempt to portray a customer’s request for better pricing as disrespect toward your employees. Negotiation and disrespect are two entirely different things. Professionalism is not measured simply by responding promptly, providing free estimates, or offering discounts. It is also reflected in how a business treats potential customers, particularly when an agreement cannot be reached. Rather than dismissing my experience as unjustified, I would encourage you to reflect on how your communication is perceived by customers. 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗺𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄.

Response from the owner · Edited 4 days ago

Mrs. Hassan Abidi. The issue here is not our customer service, but rather your continued requests for additional discounts on an already fairly priced service. We sent a technician to your property the same day you contacted us, provided a FREE, no-obligation estimate, and even offered a $40 discount as a courtesy. We also took the time to respond to all your messages and address your questions. Now, nearly a month later, you have contacted us again requesting the "best price." We have politely and clearly explained that we are unable to offer any further discounts. Unfortunately, under these circumstances, we have decided not to proceed with providing window cleaning services at your property. We take pride in our customer service, professionalism, and the quality of our work. However, we also believe that our technicians' time, effort, and expertise deserve to be respected and fairly compensated. In closing, we kindly ask that you respect the time and effort our team has already invested in assisting you. We believe in treating every customer with courtesy and respect, and we expect the same consideration in return. Update : We strongly disagree with your assessment of our professionalism and customer service. Our team responded promptly, treated you respectfully, and offered a discount. Leaving a one-star review simply because we declined further price reductions is unjustified and does not accurately reflect the service or professionalism of our company. We expect the same respect for our employees and their time that we extend to every customer. Update 11.07.26 Hassan Abidi, I stand firmly behind our team's professionalism, respectful attitude, and previous responses. Your accusations that we were rude, disrespectful, or unprofessional are completely unfounded and do not accurately reflect how this situation was handled. From the very beginning, we treated you with courtesy and respect, provided a free estimate, and patiently answered your questions. However, despite our repeated explanations that we could not offer additional discounts, you continued pushing for a lower price. Respect and professionalism are a two-way street. While you expect our team to respect your requests, we equally expect you to respect our pricing, our decisions, and the time our employees dedicate to assisting you. Repeatedly challenging our decision after receiving a clear and respectful answer does not make our company rude or unprofessional. In fact, we believe that your continued disregard for our explanations and decisions demonstrates a lack of respect toward our team. Our refusal to accept your price does not constitute disrespect or poor customer service. We have every right to decline a service request when we cannot reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Our position remains unchanged. We firmly reject your accusations and stand fully behind our team's conduct and professionalism. Best regards, Ernest Windows Management
