Did a very good job. The roof looks like new. O
n time. Professional.
Left the premises looking great.
Would use again and can recommend him.
The service was for Power Washing: Roof, house, patio, screen enclosure and driveway (2 car garage).
To be honest, I was a little apprehensive to use A&E, because of some of the negatives I read on Angie?s List about not showing up, etc.? In my case, Ed showed up on or before scheduled.
The initial estimate given was $300 for all. However, upon Ed?s (serviceman) review, he quickly added an additional $25, because he said I had a circular driveway and that I had said it was a two car garage. Well, it is a two car garage, and I was not asked if I had a circular driveway (albeit small).
Ed, started on the roof on Wednesday and found that the roof paint was coming off when washing. He notified me, and wanted me to approve results before continuing. After looking at the results, I gave the OK the next day (Thursday), and he rescheduled me for that Saturday morning.
On Saturday, he did the roof, screen enclosure, patio and started on the house.
He had done all sides of the house, except for the front side, garage and driveway, before stating that he had lost a chemical injector/adapter and could not finish and would return the next day (Sunday) to finish the job.
He returned on Sunday morning and was able to finish the job.
Note: Upon finishing, he informed me that it will be $350.00. I quickly reminded him that we had agreed upon $300 and that he had added $25 for the driveway. He said it was a big job. I told him that I usually get it done under $300. I paid him as agreed: $325.00
Results: Except for some areas where he stated that he could not do anything about, and a couple of small areas around the house and screen enclosure, the overall job was good.
Conclusion: Ed works fast and it took him (1 person) approximately 3.5 to 4 hours to do the job. The results where good. The price a little high and I found other reviews stating the he does find a way to try to increase the initial estimate. In Ed?s defense, they all do that.
Summary: I asked a few power washing companies for estimates. Some companies listed on Angie?s List gave me estimates of $650 to $800. Another company: ?All About Pressure Cleaning? wanted $1,400.00 to do the same job. Yet, another company ?Pro Image? Jerry Cardinale, had been scheduling me on and off since the beginning of the year, only to cancel me for another bigger job. Stating that my roof was painted?
All in all, A&E did a good job at a fair price, and was always on time, courteous and professional.
Would I use A&E again: YES
Do I recommend A&E: YES
"I apologize for the inconvenience"
First he was suppose to show up Saturday and said he was running late.
then he said the driveway was bigger than he thought, it was a single driveway and not very big but circular.
so he saw the driveway, He wanted another $50,in cash or check. so I left him a check since this is a rental vacation home.
When I saw that none of the stains were removed. he said, that those stains are permanent. which is wrong, because I
can buy stains caused by well water at home depot by goof off and spray it on, I was also told you can use lemon juice to remove those stains.
If he could not do the stains, then he should have at least called me, he had my cell phone number and tell me. that the
stains would not be removed or could not be removed for a the price of $100. He later said , o, I could have
removed them with muriatic acid, but that would have cost you more money, duh! again he had my cell phone number.
I want my money returned.Be more than glad to send pictures.
"like I told you I have been backed up with work due to the rain and I called and apologize for tardiness also the coupon you bought was for a standard size two car garage driveway not only is your driveway twice the length but you also have a carport and a circular driveway on the side which I cleaned for an additional $50 The only stain that I can garuantee to remove is mildew and thats what I cleaned not only did you fail to mention anything about the stains you wanted me to provived the materials and the labor for free you have fertilizer stains which are permanent I have been in this business for sixteen years and I have yet to see anything get a fertilizer stain off you also have well water stains from your irrigation system which I told you that I could've lighten up with muaratic acid no product that you get from home depot is going to clean better than acid as far as your suggestion of taking a wire brush to the ground which would have just damaged your cement pavement is not a good idea also your suggestion that lemon juice would work better on stains on cement than a 4000 PSI pressure cleaner or muaratic acid are a little far fetch I provided the service you paid for and cleaned the mildew like I said I would I would rather tell you the truth of what can be done about your driveway than to lie to you and get the same results anyway"
He broke several roof tiles in the process of cleaning the roof. The driveway looked all bleached out as well. We do not recommend this guy.
"Wrong service provider."
I look forward to using him again.
