I hate coming home to a mess. It stresses me out…read more But between managing a busy work schedule and trying to fit in quality time with my kid, my free-time is limited, and spending weekends doing chores like cleaning is not something I particularly want to do! So I didn't ... and surely enough, despite my efforts to try and tidy up here and there, the mess built up. At first, I didn't really notice it, but then little by little, the place became unmanageable. It got to a point where I hated going home because I felt like I was walking into pigsty and it depressed me. After trying to ignore the issue, I reached a point where I decided I needed to do something because ignoring the problem was not going to fix it; and if I wanted to change the way I felt about my messy home, I needed to either spend the time cleaning or spend some money hiring a professional to help me. I'd never hired a professional cleaning service before and practically speaking, I initially had three concerns: (1) where do I find one? (2) can I even afford it? and; (3) can I find a trustworthy company where I feel safe entrusting them with my keys to come in and clean my place while I'm not home. As for my first question, I literally didn't know where to start. Eventually, I managed to find my way to Yelp and looked up services that are near me. I'm in Edgewater and based on my location, it recommended 4 places, so I requested a quote from all 4. Express Cleaning Team was the last to respond to my query but I'm really glad they did because it solved my second concern: cost. I originally had an idea of how much I wanted to spend but after receiving quotes from the first 3 services, I was left feeling disappointed because it was WAY beyond what I wanted to budget for a weekly appointment. It turned out that ECT's rates are so reasonable and affordable, my only regret is not having looked into this much sooner. All I had to do was to fill out their booking form on their website. Once I completed their dozen or so questions, I was quoted less than $100 a week to clean my two bedroom/one bathroom apartment. Now that I knew there was a service near my home that fit my budget, the only thing I had left to determine was whether I could trust them enough to give them a copy of my keys to clean the apartment when I'm at work. I wanted to make sure, so once I got an email confirmation from Jimmy, I asked him if it were possible to meet someone from the company on a weekend when I was home. Despite being outside of their business hours, his wife Fary graciously agreed to come by on Saturday to meet me and personally clean my apartment. I mean, how amazing and awesome is that?! It was her day off, but she still nonetheless took the time to come to my home just to meet me, give me the peace of mind, and did a truly AMAZING job. I didn't stay the entire time she was there but when I came home later that night, I was left speechless. I was so stunned and grateful for the care and attention that was clearly spent because everything was perfect. Honestly, it was like every little thing was carefully put in its place and every surface was expertly cleaned. You could easily tell how much care and attention was spent making sure I came home happy. If you're reading this review, you may be interested in hiring a cleaning service but have similar concerns about actually hiring one like I did. If so, I hope this helps in your calculus for reaching a decision. I was very pleased in my decision to hire ECT and I'm certain that going forward, I will actually want to come home instead on being depressed whenever I walk through my door.

Guillermo Corsa's Construction Company put a new asphalt shingle roof on our home a few years ago…read more A brand new roof should last at least 15-20 years, right? Guillermo Corsa even stated on his form and I quote "Remaining useful life THIRTY years". See attached form. All our neighbors had new roofs with other companies during the same time frame. All our homes are roughly the same age. When there were high winds in our area, only our roof lost shingles which were not durable and had premature wearing. In addition we also lost some synthetic felt underlayment. The neighbors were in Awe that our roof had issues and their roofs had absolutely no damage. Guillermo stated he had asphalt shingles and felt, left over from others jols. How old were the shingles and felt when applied? The installation and workmanship was not of good quality. We do not recommend this company due to their lack of quality work and the company will not stand Behind their product or labor.

Corsa Construction is a gem of a company. They were one of our best finds, absolute professionals…read morewith a fantastic team of skilled workers. It took us a long time to find the right company to do work for us. We knew what we wanted to have done. We did a lot of research to understand what our projects required. We wanted to be able to focus on the specific projects at hand and everything to be done the right way with the correct materials. We knew that we wanted a company that was versatile because we had different projects to tackle. We definitely did not want to hire a company that would outsource other contractors or workers. That was one of our main concerns. Corsa Construction Inc really fulfilled our check list. We met with the owner of the company and he really answered our questions and listened to our concerns. We spoke about the scope of our projects and we spoke about the types of materials that were needed for the job and we knew that we were on the same page. He was very easy to talk to very polite and attentive which is very important because if we couldn't talk to him during our first meeting we would never have moved forward. Everything just clicked into place. I have to say they are not the cheapest but they charge a fair price for the work that they do. Their prices were somewhat close to what we expected. Which made us feel even more comfortable with our choice. You literally get what you pay for. They have been working for us since Sept 2017. We started with having pointing work done in front of the building. Their work was very impressive. We decided to move forward with other projects and problems that we had to get fixed. Their project manager has a lot of very good ideas on how to tackle any situation that we encounter, plus we still have more work to be done. Today, we are still working Corsa Construction and we have been very happy with their work. Like absolute true professionals they show up every day like clockwork unless the weather is bad. If we have any questions or concerns they address it immediately. When doing large construction projects it can really be nerve wracking but working with Corsa so far has really put our minds at ease. We really developed a long term relationship with this company and now we are very happy to have a company that we can comfortably call for future projects.

We were so devastated when our restaurant burned down last year and we find it hard to understand…read morewhat losses our insurance company will pay. However, one of our customers, referred us to a public adjuster, Brian Evans, of Eastern Public Property claim and Risk Management. Brian walked us through our policy and explained to us in details what is covered and how to approach the insurance company. We discovered that we were under insured and to rebuild our restaurant, we need double what our policy would pay out. Fortunately, with Brian's help, we managed to squeeze an additional 50% more from insurance; which reduces the amount by thousands of dollars to rebuild! Brian also offered to help analyze the insurance coverage for our other stores so we will not be caught under insured again - for Free. What great service!! We will use Brian and Eastern Public if something unfortunate happened to us again and we whole heartedly will recommend this company.

5 star consultation!!!…read more Direct. Highly knowledgeable. Articulates complex information in a way that is understandable for someone with little/no insurance claims experience. Organize yourself. State high level the facts of what happened. Then just listen and answer questions. Keep listening and take notes if this is all new to you (it was for me). I was able to ask questions and learned a lot more, which helped me make a decision the following day on how to move forward.
