They claim to do move out deep cleaning, but what I got was shallow cleaning! The crew arrived…read morelate due to traffic which I understand, so they ended up starting at 9:30 AM and one her team members named Jessica, told me they would complete their work after 5 PM, which seemed reasonable, as the unit is almost 1700 sq. ft. and has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms that was completely clear of furnishing and household items. I get a text from Jennifer at 11:47 AM that they will be done by 12:30 PM! When I came to check, all they had was Windex and bleach spray and nothing to take off water stains and they did not clean the outside windows and missed cleaning the kitchen windows entirely both inside (which I think was because they couldn't get up on the large countertop) and outside, did not know how to pull out the fridge racks to clean, didn't touch the washer and dryer at all, missed collected dust on the bathroom windows, left spots on the bathroom tiles and did not get out the water stains on the shower heads and faucet. The unit also had a strange, cheap chemical like smell and I think it was a result of cheap cleaning items they used. When I pointed out that the refrigerator racks needed cleaning and showed how all you need to do was pull up and out the rack, they said sorry and started cleaning the racks with a very dirty rag that was already heavily used! I was not going to stay there and babysit them and point out everything that they should have covered and by that point thought to myself, forget this, we did not pay to babysit so called "handywomen" cleaners! Furthermore, they brought what seemed to be cheap cleaning equipment you'd see at Dollar General. How can a professional cleaning service use only cheap over-the-counter cleaning items and expect to "deep" clean your unit! Also, I appreciate that the cleaning team were Brazilian immigrants as I'm an immigrant from Korea, but they could not speak English at all and it was difficult to communicate, despite their use of Google translate. If at least one team member had a grasp of elementary English it would have been smoother communication. If it were not for the condescending attitude of the owner Jennifer, I would have given this a 2.5 rating, but her attitude exemplifies someone who should get zero starts. Initially she did offer to come down herself, but after seeing what occurred I had no desire to interact with her company again which as a customer I have a right to do. This was especially the case when she outright lied that her team spent 8 hours at my location, when they only spent 4 hours (and about 30 minutes was me driving to the location, so they only probably worked 3.5 hours). In addition, every time I pointed out with pictures what was not done, she gave every excuse as to why it was not done. I ended up working with my partner for four hours to clean up what her crew didn't. Jennifer claimed "a specialized service for stone cleaning is required, as excessive scrubbing may cause damage." We used concentrated vinegar and baking soda and got all the water stains off the shower heads and faucets and used Goo-Be-Gone and got the tiles in the bath and shower areas looking like new. I also used a re-tractable squeegee to clean the outside windows in about 30 minutes. And we are NOT professional cleaners! I was NOT going to pay full price for this supposed move-out deep cleaning, as her crew accomplished what I would consider average house cleaning services, so I offered to pay $224 for 4 hours of service which is about the average per cost of house cleaning services in LA which I looked up online. She refused to compromise with me and threatened legal action against me. At this point I gave up and guess I'll have to take time out of my life to fight her in small claims court for $275 she is not entitled too. Be very careful about this vendor as the pictures she shows about her professional services seem made up as she shows miraculous transformations of her cleaning services such as restoring a horrendous looking tub into new and her handywomen services as a fixer upper, yet her crew could not take out refrigerator drawers to clean them, did a half hearted job cleaning shower tiles and water stains, etc. Potential buyers beware! ***IN RESPONSE TO JENNIFER C's COMMENT*** This vendor claims her crew came at 8:24 AM, but I have on a camera capture that she arrived at 9:06 AM and the other came at almost 9:30 AM, and she's still holding to the idea that they worked 8 hours. This is absolutely absurd, delusional and an outright lie! Furthermore, she claims you cannot get deep cleaning move-out service for less than $45/hour, but they did not provide deep cleaning move-out service, but rather just average house cleaning service which is the rate I paid since that's what they provided.

I've been waiting for the right time to bring my story about living in the Laguna Del Rey…read moreapartments to life. During the first year of my living there, I was very happy to be able to walk the beach near by with my dog and come home to a peaceful environment. I moved in the year of 2019 until 2023. The senior manager wasn't friendly at all. And that was known and felt by many who lived in the building. I once had to pay her $25.00 after misplacing the keys to my apartment to get inside. The maintenance crew lived on the property so they were available in case of emergency. However the appliances were old so the need for maintenance was frequent. All that being said I would not recommend living there if you are living alone, single as a woman. I was being harassed by the contracted workers. (See attached photos), who were often hired by the management company. With my agreement they were allowed entry into my apartment when I was there. The problem began and seemed start due to a communication issue between users of two different languages. I began asking them questions about the process they were using to repair my balcony and apparently they didn't like that. The reason for my warning for single women is because of what happened next to me. Imagine coming home and seeing vulgarity written on your door. Not just writing but images of men's private body parts. The shock of seeing this sent me into a panic and immediately I notified the senior manager that I described previously in this thread and she rejected my complaint. Because of not seeing the person who did this I went off my gut feeling and intuition. There are no security cameras in this area of the building. She went on to suggest that my daughter may had done this denying that her maintenance crew would ever have. I could only assume she based her assumptions and blame on her because she was borderline autistic. Not knowing that my daughter had lost her life a few months earlier. And that experience is not just offensive but scary for not just a single woman but for anyone. I think that sums it up well.

*** Cannot afford to buy an ocean view? ***…read more Then I would ask "why not rent one awhile"? I did it. But caution: it can become addictive. I was to rent here for a 1yr only ... I did 5yrs! Condos w/ a view: about $1/2 million and up. Houses w/ a view: about one million and up. And that is just for the smaller ones in (or near) this sleepy little beach community. So when I moved here in 2002, I rented a lil 1-bdrm for $1650. Today it's $2400! That is how popular a beach view still is. It is rent controlled at least. Built in '70s. Additionally you get a lagoon and wildlife to stroll along (lagoon on W side and the wetlands on the east). Amenities include laundry rooms, pool, jacuzzi, weight room, reading room, and two sundecks that look over the marina and canal to ocean (perfect for watching fireworks & boat shows all year). It is a quiet neighborhood with friendly people. *** Cons: price, airplane noise and no pets. ***

### 2023 review 4/100 ###…read more I really didn't want to leave a bad review even after all the sub-par jobs they did but... I'm still and beyond SHOCKED about what happened this morning. I caught both Nikita and Donat RED-HANDED trespassing on my property USING MY GARAGE CODE TO ENTER MY HOME... TWO MONTHS AFTER I FIRED THEM. They claim they "left some tools behind" so that's why they were accessing my property WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. Really? Seriously? As if they have the right to use my garage code to enter my home at any time? I tried to keep my calm tho I was freaking out, asked them to please leave. I have an appointment I have to get to on time and to call/text me whatever it is they needed. They had the audacity to refuse to leave AFTER I just caught them red-handed trespassing, stood in front of my car preventing me to leave. WTF. I lost it. On my own property. I called Security and found out they had another job in our gated community. So basically, these Russian contractors deemed it totally acceptable to come by my house in the middle of the day, believing nobody was home and just go through my home? To steal or God knows what they were up to. I feel violated and still shocked they think it's okay to do such a thing. They've been warned by Security... should they make another attempt like they did on this day dated January 17th -or- even dare to come anywhere close to my home again, the police will get involved. I filed a police report to have this on record that I caught them red-handed about to enter my garage. As far as their qualifications for contractor job... I had high hopes when I chose this father and son team based on the other 5-star reviews and since their bids were comparable to another contractor. However very soon we realized as the job started that they were unreliable and basically don't know what they were doing. They "learnt" how to put up drywall a year ago by watching YouTube videos. And also turned out they are not licensed. Since they don't know what they are going, and kept asking me "what needs to get done" or "ask Home Depot what tools and materials are needed", their quotes are not reliable. Be warned if you discuss any jobs with them, they would end up asking for more money because "it took more work, time and effort" even when they agreed to the job and estimate. And trust me... the language barrier is REAL. Lots of mistakes on part 1 of the job putting up drywall. And part 2 painting was a botched job with paint leaked over our brown painted garage door. There were other mistakes made that cost us more money to hire someone else to fix. We couldn't keep working with them for part 3 of the project, it was a waste of our time and money, and mostly really stressful. Nikita is the son, barely 18 or 19? He 'translates' for his father Donat who doesn't speak English and never shows up earlier than 1pm to start any work because he has personal things to do. They are consistently unreliable and hard to schedule -- always saying they have other bigger jobs that seems more important for them to do. It was a major headache trying to get them to do anything and we highly regret hiring them... And now after catching them entering my home thinking nobody is home -- just proves even more so what kind of people they are. I'm beyond sick of dealing with "nice" contractors who turn out to be nothing but dishonest, scammers and untrustworthy... and now I can add trespassing on my property to my list of horror contractors stories.

Their workspace was always clean and thoughtful for our pets and family to traverse to and from the house while they worked on the project. And most importantly, the finished gate and fences were clean, high quality and polished... and better than we imagined! Our second project we just finished this past month was our deck (and roofing as our garage sits underneath our deck). They replaced our leaky wooden deck with new beams, proofing/coating, tiles this time (the whole nine) and it is perfect- complete with polished iron, a side gate to match our existing gates/aesthetic and touch ups where needed. Tal was very transpararent from the beginning and made us aware of the pros and cons for every material and promptly finished the whole project within two weeks.
