I would not give this company SERVICE MASTER OF LINCOLN PARK even 1 star. Their idea if cleaning a wood floor was to... MOP THE FLOOR. When they came out for an estimate they said they CLEANED FLOORS not ran a mop over the floor. When I said you can’t just mop the man said well they don’t scrub floors!!! That’s so ridiculous! I am so upset at their false promise of cleaning. This same man who came out for the estimate saw paint splatters on the floor and I told him they were new. He didn’t say anything about not being able (or the fact they they don’t WORK at getting them out).But when they came to do the job he said his boss told him not to do anything but mop the floor and that won’t get the paint off. MOPPING ALSO IS NOT CLEANING THE FLOOR ...ITS JUST MOVING DIRTY WATER AROUND. Worst case of misrepresentation of work that I have ever seen. The part of the floor that they ran their dirty mop over isn’t even remotely clean. But they are not bashful about charging an arm and a leg.They advertise that people should have this “cleaning” done every so often to get their floors really clean. THIS IS THEIR IDEA OF REALLY CLEAN! Swishing a dirty mop over the floor!!!! I asked them to leave. Now I am in a terrible situation with one day left before I have someone move in. I hope this review will help someone else not get duped into hiring them!read more
