The public response to my initial review is just an attempt to minimize the real property damage to…read moremy home as a simple difference of "conclusion." The physical evidence proves I did not receive the skilled service I contracted for -- a low-pressure exterior soft wash (safely sprayed from 5-15 feet away, not inches) and a manual, ladder-accessed hand cleaning of my gutters. Major Panes actively advertises a dedicated "SOFT HOUSE WASHING" method, explicitly warning consumers on their website that "too much water pressure can strip paint and loosen siding, causing water intrusion issues to your home." They promise a low-pressure rinse where "the cleaning mixture does all the work so the water pressure doesn't have to." Instead, they sent an untrained crew that used high-pressure techniques. Because of the crew's lack of experience and improper techniques, my house received a high-power blast that caused damage. In his private email follow-up, the owner, Rob Taylor, openly admitted that their house-washing process "does require water to be sprayed at unusual angles" and confirmed they clean gutters by "spraying upward" from the ground. These close-up, upward angles violate industry standards for a safe soft wash. Their improper methods hit the house with such excessive force that it left a loose, warped HardiePlank board on the side of the house, permanent "tiger striping" (zig-zag pressure scars) on my exterior siding, chemical bleach spots, and internal flooding. Their poor chemical mixing left unsightly water marks and a permanent bluish-gray chemical stain on my factory-finished aluminum gutters due to inadequate final rinsing. Major Panes actively advertises an "EXTERIOR GUTTER WHITENING" service, promising to clean them with "the right cleaning solutions and elbow grease" using precise, manual hand-scrubbing. Instead, they went against their own advertised standards by blasting high-pressure wands upward from the ground, permanently stripping the factory enamel finish. Shockingly, their own website copy openly admits the highly volatile nature of these chemicals, warning consumers that if not handled properly, "there is a risk of the cleaning agent leaving splotches on your siding." The company's job listings make it clear that Major Panes actively recruits "Entry Level Techs" with no prior industry experience required. The listing openly admits that "Certification programs are available for bonuses," confirming that the techs sent to client homes are not automatically certified or properly trained soft-wash technicians when they are hired; certification is merely an optional incentive. They are putting high-velocity commercial pressure equipment and chemicals into the hands of uncertified, entry-level workers and charging consumers a premium rate of almost $500. They failed to shield or tape vulnerable entry points, like my door lock. If the tech wasn't spraying too close or at a dangerous angle, the water wouldn't have entered my lock and dripped down the door handle, making a puddle on the floor. The tech who caused the water to come inside even saw it dripping himself. The public response explicitly states that he had to "apply lubricant to the internal mechanism" of my door lock during his follow-up visit, and I personally witnessed him spray dry lubricant straight into the door handle chassis as well. He did not even bother to clean the chemical residue off the door handle, dismissively stating that it was dry. If his crew did not improperly blast high-velocity water directly into my hollow keyhole and handle housing, there would be absolutely no operational reason for him to lubricate the internal mechanical locking tumblers and handle springs. Applying a temporary spray lubricant to a chemically flooded lock and handle does not undo the long-term corrosive damage caused by their bleach mixtures. If this lock mechanism fails or corrodes in the coming months, Major Panes will be fully liable for the cost of the complete replacement and locksmith services. I did meet face-to-face with the owner, Rob Taylor--not Lindsey. Rob claimed during our driveway meeting that the resulting scars on the wall were just "paint on paint," which is an industry myth used to deflect from high-pressure spray tips being swept too close to a surface. During his follow-up, the owner removed the remaining spider webs and the hornet's nest that his crew had missed. But those basic details should have been completed the day the job was performed, and likely would have been if the crew had not arrived 90 minutes late, forcing them to take shortcuts and rush to finish. My concerns were not addressed immediately either; it took my public reviews to get a response from the owner, as the previous emails and surveys just gave me deflection and a lot of BS. I'd be very careful about who you hire and whether they stand behind their work.

I highly recommend Major Panes for window and gutter cleaning! They went above and beyond on and…read moretook care of every detail. Communication before, during, and after was excellent. The price quoted for the job was consistent with quality of work done. Our windows have never looked so bight and shiny! It makes the whole house look cleaner and brighter.
