    Initial conversation where owner said carpet cleaning was included.
    Madison S.

    I requested a deep move-out clean, to include deep clean of carpets on one stairwell and the finished basement. The owner replied saying that was included in the move-out cleaning (see attached photo). Today, my landlord did the walkthrough and informed us that the carpets hadn't been cleaned. When I reached out to the owner, she said carpet cleaning wasn't included and isn't even offered by this company. What? When I showed her the screenshot of my initial request and her confirmation of services, instead of a "sorry, I missed that part," she doubled down and told me I must have misunderstood. Uhhhh nope. You said it was included. Literally. Here's a screenshot. Nope, doesn't matter, it seems. I give the business two stars because apparently the rest of the house looked great. But the initial lack of communication and the rudeness afterwards means I can't recommend this business. If you decide to go with them anyway, please over communicate and plan to physically be there to inspect afterwards.

    Dust on shelves, none were properly cleaned

    We just did a renovation project and our construction crew had cleaners come in, but I wanted some extra attention to the details which is why I hired Progressive, as they claim to do professional post-construction cleaning. If I could rate zero stars, I would. Our arrival window was 12pm-1pm and the cleaners arrived at 2:30pm, 1.5 hours late. They came in frantic and barely listened to my instructions. I had to beg the lead cleaner to stop randomly cleaning things that were already clean and come with me so I could explain what actually needed to be cleaned. I asked the crew to clean windowsills, blinds, inside kitchen cabinets and drawers, ledges and baseboards, our utility room in the basement, and vacuum basement floors. The team did not follow my instructions and the majority of what I asked for was not completed. They were in my home for 5 hours with 3 people, a total of 15 hours worth of work with barely any results. On top of that, I came to check in 3 times and all 3 ladies were always huddled chatting in the same room of the house. On one instance, a bucket of water was filled, wet and splashing, and was placed on our brand new carpets. I had to go get a tarp for the cleaner to use and request they not put buckets full of water on the carpet. I have reached out to Evelyn, the owner, with photographs of dust and dirt in windowsills, drawers, ledges that weren't even touched, the list goes on. Instead of addressing my concerns professionally, she refused to send a crew to correct the issues and demanded payment in full for the hours "worked." It's really sad to see a company billing by the hour and not standing by the quality of their service. I wish I had hired my regular cleaner who does amazing work instead of falling for their "post-construction" marketing. I would steer clear of Progressive Cleaning Corp.

    Unclean fridge

    They were promt to response to my requesr. The cleaning was spot on for the first level but the basement they missed the fridge. The crew were nice and definitely shownup on time. Paid in check to avid credit fee. Started at 7 am till 1:30 pm..

    Rooms looked good as new!

    The progressive team was able to complete a last minute "move out" cleaning for us! The apartment looked new when they left and we were very happy with their attention to detail! When I had questions Jason was very understanding and professionally answered all of them. We'd definitely use their services again! Highly recommend them!

    Spotless fridge!

    I created a project here on Yelp for a move-out cleaning, and Progressive Cleaning was one of the suggested vendors. Evelyn was timely and professional in her responses and I quickly booked a time with Jason via telephone. I was provided a 2hr arrival window and 2-3 hour estimated time for cleaning. Day of, Jason called on the early end of that window stating the cleaners were 15 minutes away. Three ladies showed up, quickly got to work, and completed the cleaning almost three hours exactly. They were all very nice, detailed in their cleaning, and super efficient! The one that cleaned the kitchen had the refrigerator looking better than when we moved in! I won't be in the area to use Progressive Cleaning again, but highly recommend them to anyone reading this!

    Scratching left on a new refrigerator!

    I requested a deep clean but they needed to return and even though I provided pictures of the specific spots, the areas I requested had not been cleaned during the second visit. They refused to come back unless I paid more. The refrigerator door was scratched in the process and they ignored that too. I would never use them again.

    The cleaning staff broke a small soap shelf off the bathroom wall.

    I will redo this review once the service is fully done if it warrants it, but right now I am not very happy. I was quoted for 1.5 hours of cleaning by progressive cleaning. I mainly wanted to focus on the bathrooms (2) and kitchen, with primarily vacuuming and dusting in the bedrooms (2). We do a decent job of keeping our place clutter-free and daily wipe-downs, but getting a good clean once a month is a nice add-on. I just got a call stating that the team (3 workers) needed almost double to time to clean and they wanted to know if I wanted them to stop cleaning at the quoted time and have them focus on a couple of things in the time they have left, or pay almost double to have them finish. I have had cleaners come in before for a few months and it would take 2 workers about 1.5 hours to clean our condo. I am not sure why it is taking 3 cleaners almost 2.5 - 3 hours to clean today. I know different companies have different standards, but this feels like a bait and switch. The bid for the job was on par with several other places and I went with them based on reviews and some complaints about shady pricing practices at other companies, but now it is going to be the most expensive cleaning place and I feel like I was subjected to a shady pricing practice. I would not have chosen this company if I had been told that it would be this much for a clean. Very disappointed. I told the person on the phone to finish the clean but that I would no longer be using them as a company. As I said at the beginning, I will update this review if I feel like the cleaning is somehow more thorough or deeper than other cleaners I have had, but I just have a hard time picturing myself being happy with a new estimate of 300-330 for a clean. I think it would be better - although a little more time-consuming for companies to come and do an inspection and provide a quote to set up a service based on the actual size of the condo. That way they can have a sense of what it would take versus trying to do quotes over the phone or virtually and then screwing the customer over when the job is somehow larger than they anticipated (which in this case I do not think it is a large job that warrants the change). Now I see they have broken a small soap shelf off the wall. While both the cleaning staff and the support person, Jason, I spoke with on the phone was apologetic and professional, this is just the nail in the coffin for me working with Progressive Cleaning. I get that things happen but all of the challenges amount to too much of a hassle and cost to do business with them. Very disappointed. Edit - I just spoke with the owner Evelyn. She was also very apologetic and agreed to make things right. The cleaners ended up leaving 20 minutes after the quoted time - so much less than the extra 60-90 minutes that Jason had originally though they would extend. I told her I was good with paying for the extra 20 minutes of time, but she decided to wave the extra time due to all of the hassle I endured today. She is going to call me back when they have a plan to repair the soap shelf in the bathroom. The cleaning overall is good, though not discernibly different from when I had other cleaners. Depending on how the repair goes, I will update the review accordingly. I like to give credit where credit is due and the place is nicely cleaned and they were professional while here - though the lower stars at this point is for the hassle, the overall experience, and something getting broken on the first visit.

    The prices are high which would be fine if the work they did reflected the price point. Also, the management is very unprofessional!
