    Better Business Bureau complaint:We have used The Cleaning Authority in ******** for the past 8 years. In October of 2018 we moved into our new home in *******, ******* and decided to have them come and start bi weekly cleaning. We understand that their cleaners are scheduled to specific areas and that we would be getting new people to clean our house each time they come out to clean. The first few cleanings went just fine and then things started to happen. We have had damage to our stove top scratched up, broken items that include a canister that was a set of 3 so I cant just replace the one and a damaged picture frame on our last cleaning. They had someone come out and inspect the stove right after it happened to confirm back to us that they will make it right. We have spoken to the owner ******* who said that we were a priority and that he would address these issues but after that initial phone call ******* will not call us back. My husband **** has called him on several occasions and emailed him a few times and still does not contact us back. A little over 4 weeks ago I told the girl who was out to the house Lexi to have ******* call **** and she made a note to give to the office and still nothing. We had a change in our banking, which changed our form of payment so the accounting women called **** for payment and **** let her know that we would be happy to give her the payment information after ******* calls us back. We pay them ****** every 2 weeks. I have been trying to give them every opportunity to make this right but it appears they have no intention of addressing the damage done by their workers. We look forward to the issues being resolved.Thank you. **** & ***********************

    Terrible service and even worse management and ownership. We hired them for a move out cleaning service as we bought and were hoping to get our deposit back on our rental. They were aware that it was a move out as well as the size of the property when hired. The scope of the work included walls, blinds and cabinets. They claimed to have 2 people there for a combined 13 hours charging us over $800. When we arrived the next day to inspect we were mortified. They merely wiped down our kitchen counters (no fridge, no micro, no stove, no cabinets) and cleaned our 3 bathrooms (all of which had just had the toilet replaced and were brand new requiring no cleaning). None of the walls or blinds were cleaned, nor were any of the bedrooms even touched. Since we were turning in the keys the next day we were forced to reclean the entire place ourselves while they took our money. We attempted to contact the owner to no avail so we contacted management. Shortly after we received an email from the owner reprimanding us for going above his head and not giving them a reasonable number for a refund. Its pretty simple, if I hire you to do a service and you do not complete the service than you do not get paid, thats how business works. Completely unprofessional and a scam artist, ********************* needs some ethics classes before he runs his company into the ground. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND AVOID!!
