I called Luxury Maids Inc., to have the whole house cleaned following the installation of new windows. I had cleaned the house myself for several weeks following installation, but I wanted a deeper cleaning to get dust left in corners, base boards, under beds, and on the frames of pictures, mirrors and windows. I mentioned this, and also sent a list of things I wanted to be sure were not missed, such as wiping fingerprints around light switches and door knobs and mold in the grout and corners of the showers.
The upstairs is about 900 square feet, (3 bedrooms and two baths). The downstairs is about 1300 square feet including kitchen, half bath, living room-dining area, laundry room and tv room. I was given an estimate of 5 hours for two people at $60 an hour, ($30 each) with a 10% Angie's list discount ($270.00) . The two ladies and their supervisor came promptly at 8am, I gave them a quick tour and left for work. At 1pm I got a call saying they had not started the downstairs yet, and needed two more hours ($120.00). I found it strange that they asked for two extra hours to clean 1300 feet downstairs when they spent 5 hours to clean 900 feet upstairs. I did not authorize any more time. At 1:30pm I got another call saying they had given me an extra half hour but needed another hour because they had not touched the kitchen. Again, I did not authorize more time.
When I got home, and checked the job, I found it was mostly clean upstairs, but there was mold in the grout of the shower and fingerprints on two doors. I didn't notice anything had been cleaned downstairs. Maybe they vacuumed, but I had just vacuumed two days before. I was disappointed.
When I got the invoice, I was surprised to see a bill for $335.00 with a $35.00 courtesy discount for that extra half an hour. I responded with what I had been quoted, and the bill was corrected. I expressed my disappointment with the fact that only half the house was done after spending 10 combined hours on 900 square feet upstairs. They responded that the condition of the house caused them to take more time than they thought, because there was a lot of \"thick dust\". The truth is, there was a thin layer of dust in the places mentioned above. Nevertheless, whether there is a lot or a little dust, cleaning it off requires the same amount of effort. They did ask what they could do to make it right, but they would have had to come back to clean the other half of the house. A second email from me asking what they did that took so long, went unanswered.
I once supported myself by cleaning houses, so I know how long it takes to clean. I can not imagine why it took so long for two people to clean such a small space. (and they missed some things on the list). I had hoped that if I paid top dollar and got someone from Angie's list I would not be disappointed, but I was.
Update: Graciela sent a team out at no extra cost to clean the downstairs. Two ladies came at 7:45am and left at 11:45am. They did a thorough job this time.

He was able to eliminate the receiver and hdmi cable as potential causes of the problem and narrowed it down to the tv. He then installed a new tv we bought and gave us lots of good advice along the way.

FAQs for tv antenna equipment service projects in North Caldwell, NJ
If your TV antenna is good quality and was installed by a professional, you can expect it to last between 10 and 20 years without needing repair or replacement. This can vary based on your geographic location, weather conditions, and antenna location.
TV antennas should be replaced if it’s been bent or physically damaged. It is possible that these can still be repaired. However, the repair won’t be as superior as a repair on a non-damaged antenna. Since repairing an antenna is typically less expensive than replacing it by at least $100, it’s worth trying to save your existing one if possible.
Before investing in a TV antenna repair, there are a few steps you can take to help boost your signal quality. Removing obstacles like tree branches can help improve your signal strength. Along the same line, moving an indoor antenna away from obstacles can also help. These should be near a window, as high as possible. If these steps don’t work, speak with a TV antenna technician about a signal amplifier to help boost your signal even further.
The cost to repair your TV antenna is around $200 for the average homeowner. However, charges could be as low as $60 or as high as $450. Factors such as multidirectional or unidirectional, indoor or outdoor, and amplified or non-amplified all play an essential role in determining the cost of your repair. For example, outdoor antennas cost more on average to repair than indoor ones, much like amplified antennas cost more to repair than unamplified ones.
Before your TV antenna stops working, there are a few ways to tell it’s starting to break. Some common signs that your antenna needs repair include:
A repetitive “no signal” issue
A redundant “searching” issue
Increased signal issues during a cloudy or rainy day
A sudden drop in signal strength, regardless of the weather
If you’re experiencing these problems, you’ll want to ensure that your cables are still in good shape and have not deteriorated. In addition, check to make sure that your cables are firmly in place at the wall outlet. Finally, check the position of your antenna to ensure there are no obstructions in its path. If you’ve checked your antenna thoroughly and are still having these problems, a repair is most likely needed by an antenna technician.
