The original Big Deal was for $129 for 10 windows. They carefully questioned me about whether I had solar panes (I had no idea) and patiently explained to me what constitutes "a window" of which I had thought I had 10 - it took them a little bit of extra explanation before I understood. I actually have 19 windows and they quoted a price to cover the additional 9 windows at the same rate as the Big Deal (hence, total around $230 or so). They let me know that on the day of the appt, if the temperature were to reach 100, they would need to reschedule. (Little side note: the appt was 2 weeks out from when I made it and I called them back a few times when I was concerned about the temperature getting too high and having to reschedule another date at the last moment. They were very patient with me about this and assured me that since I was the first appt of the day, it would be cool enough and there was no cause for concern. I would have been annoyed with me by the 3rd call, so extra bonus points for them.)
On the day of appt, they called to let me know when they were 20 minutes from arriving and did arrive exactly on time. This team consisted of husband, wife and son. They were very pleasant and cheerful; they asked me about my expectations and for any specific problems and then went right to work. They were very efficient - the husband pressure washed and cleaned the exterior windows & conditioned the screens, while the wife cleaned the interior windows and sills; the son assisted both.
While they worked, I sat on the sofa with the TV on and doing some work. The wife worked in the room with me and when I felt chatty, she chatted with me; when I didn't, she didn't - it was very comfortable having her and her family in my home (with some service providers, that's not the case). When I asked her questions about the secrets of window cleaning (like, how do you avoid streaks when cleaning windows that have the sun shining on them?) she was very forthcoming with her answers and gave me several valuable tips.
When they finished (in exactly 3 hours as predicted), I was delighted with the result! The windows were so clean, I couldn't see them. All the water spots and dirt were gone, the glass sparkly and the tracks/sills were clean and white again. The screens were soft and like new, whereas before, they were stiff from the sun and caked with dirt; I hadn't realized how bad they were until they were clean. It was a HUGE improvement! Before they packed up and left, they made sure I checked each window, screen and sill carefully. There were a couple with water in the track and they took care of it immediately. They really care about the quality of their work and it shows.
PLEASE NOTE: when you make the appointment with them, they will ask you to move furniture or anything that blocks 3 foot access to the windows. I would recommend that you do this, I did as they requested and the appointment took the exact time they estimated. However, if anything had been too heavy for me to move or lift, they were more than happy to help me.
ONLY THING I WOULD CHANGE: I bought a Big Deal from them and went by the description of services listed on the Angie's List website (I did not look at their actual website). The window cleaning package does include the inside tracks and sills, but it was not specifically listed in the service details and I had to call them back to ask if it was included (after seeing it listed under other same service providers).
WARNING: Windows will be so clean they could appear invisible to birds; you might need to put a decal or hang something in the window so they won't fly into them.
2 1/2 hours, but it was less.
They took care in covering furniture that was in front of the windows.
The windows are sparkling clean now.
