Housewash/Gutter Clean

Jillian from Frankleigh Park

My Sincerest Apologies for Recommending this service.
I passed on the Wonderful Spiel that he gave me in emails before I finally had the job done May 17th 2022.
I thought he had done a great job as everything Looked good on the Outside and he didn't think that I was going to be on my roof Yet I Did.
I will let you look at a couple of collages and you can decide if you would pay $600.00.
POSITIVE RESULT.
I do not know how to cut and paste the email I received on Friday after I told Him how angry I was.
Monday night I was busy clearing my section when I had to defend myself after Deane Whitmore posted a comment. I then had an hour of email discussion expressing how I felt with the unprofessional behavior/comments in the Service Provider's email to me on that Friday telling me to not contact him and that I was erratic and that he did not have to rectify the situation.
As a Woman I felt the Disrespect and Misogynistic Attitude that many Woman have to deal with Yet as I said in my other posts...
. Living in the marginalized group within society I once again felt that Less than/this is all you get/deserve attitude and Trades Men Condensing Attitude towards Me. (My story. Experiences!!)
We both said that there is no animosity and we would sort it Tuesady.
After receiving a sincere apology and admitting that he had been Very Condescending towards me, we agreed for the gutters/house to be redone. Once upon the roof he was angry and upset with himself when seeing what my pictures showed and then an admission of very poor quality/sub standard work.
He took total responsibility and admitted that he had truly taken his eye off the ball.
He did a wonderful job and as a peace offering left me some cleaning product and broom for my dirty deck's. Thank You Marc.
So a great result in the end. I am sharing my story as a Woman on her own that has in the past put up with sub standard Workmanship ... knowing my Rights yet not standing up for myself.
I found out that if I hadn't used this as a platform and gone the Complaint to Winz route I may have been waiting along time for rectification if at all as in 3 weeks he was leaving for family reason's.
I am happy that he did the job and More..
I held him accountable under the Law of Right's and Human Conscience and Moral Integrity where I held my ground as a Woman to be treated as an equal in all ways. I asked him if he would have said /treated a man in the same way. In his emails he said Yes and I replied well I wonder how that would go down with a Man🤣🤣.
To all you wonderful people/consumer's Please remember that we are protected under the Consumer Rights re Trades people. Enjoy these picture's of my now wonderful clean gutters and house that will see me through a windy and rainy winter.
Go well😇🙏
