Not sure it was worth it.
Story,
Guy calls me...well spoken, seems like a good job.
We get to job and the lady says "you said whole house $99.00"
Uh, no maam I surely did not.
"oh what is the name of your company...yada yada yada"
I'll try to keep this short I told the guy probably around $200.00 for the whole house over the phone but we had to see it.
Upon inpection I told him I would stick to that price.
As they start himming and hawwing they ask for a card (I'm supposed to leave) and I told them that I really didn't drive out just to give an estimate.
Anyway, during the conversation I told them that the $99.00 was going to raise the price on them when he got there.
As we are leaving the drive way...the other cleaner is walking up....F'ing priceshoppers, ugh.
I knew what they were doing.
We got in the van and parked about 5 houses down and watched.
The other cleaner comes out and gets in his van as my cell phone starts ringing.
"can you come back".....this is where I made my mistake
"yes I am right outside"
When I get inside I asked how much he raised the price and they said
"you were right but he only raised the price $60.00 but we wanted you because of your honesty"
Irony
Oh, and BS on the $60.00 it was probably more like $150.00 or they would have went with that guy.
Anyway, all that trouble and true to form they became a pain in the ass customer who looked over every every square inch with complaints and I am expecting a call any minute for a BS Redo.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Every once in a while they get me again.
Should have left and never looked back.
