Chronological sequence of events leading to the billing dispute.
Customer received an email appointment reminder for a roof cleaning scheduled for August 5, 2026. This was the first notice found concerning the 2026 recurring service — approximately one week before the scheduled date.
See Evidence Gallery: Appointment Reminder Email
Customer responded to the appointment reminder via email less than two hours later, stating: "No need to come. The roof remains clean. Cancel this appointment." This was a clear, unambiguous written cancellation request.

Despite the written cancellation submitted two days earlier, the company charged the customer's credit card the full amount of $594.39. The owner later described this as "pre-billing" to verify the card before dispatching a technician — but it was a full charge, not a small authorization hold.
See Evidence Gallery: Invoice #1020
Customer spoke directly with owner Luke Muenzen two days before the scheduled appointment. She requested that the service be canceled and the $594.39 refunded. The refund was refused.
A subcontractor was sent to the customer's home. She informed him she had canceled the service and did not want the roof cleaned. No roof cleaning was performed. The subcontractor was polite and apologetic, stating he unfortunately sees this type of situation often.
The company continues to refuse the refund despite no service being rendered. The charge has been formally disputed with the bank. The company has been repeatedly asked to provide the recurring-service agreement and cancellation terms they claim justify retaining the full payment — no documentation has been provided.

Full-service amount of $594.39 charged after written cancellation — even when no roof cleaning was ultimately performed. Auto-enrolled in annual contract without consent – without clear policies or contract. Still refuses to refund.
One of my biggest concerns is how little notice my mother received.
She originally used LowCountry Exterior Cleaning Pros / LowCountry Gutter Cleaning Pros for a roof cleaning the previous year. She did not understand that she had agreed to have another cleaning automatically scheduled the following year.
The first notice we have found concerning the 2026 service was the July 29 reminder for an August 5 appointment — only about a week before the scheduled service.
We have also been unable to locate any earlier automatic-renewal notice in her records. We have raised questions about whether the notice provided complied with the requirements that may apply to qualifying recurring service agreements in South Carolina.
The cancellation process was another concern:
So there is an obvious question: if the company requires cancellation 30 days in advance, how is a customer supposed to cancel 30 days earlier when she did not realize the service was renewing and did not receive the appointment reminder until days before the scheduled service?
When my mother did receive the reminder, she acted immediately. She responded in writing less than two hours later and said she did not want the service.
Two days later, the company charged her card $594.39 anyway.
The owner has since described the charge as "pre-billing" used to verify the card before dispatching a technician. However, this was not simply a small authorization to confirm the card was valid.
It was a charge for the entire $594.39, processed after the cancellation request and before any cleaning occurred.
There is also a discrepancy in the company's own paperwork:
Appointment Reminder
Aug 05, 2026
(Service Date)
Paid Invoice #1020
Sep 03, 2026
(Service Date Listed)
The appointment reminder identified August 5 as the service date. The paid invoice later listed September 3 as the service date, while showing that it had been issued and paid on July 31 and referencing services rendered. We have asked for clarification about why those dates do not match.
My mother spoke directly with the owner on August 3, still two days before the scheduled appointment, and again requested that the service be canceled and the $594.39 refunded. The refund was refused.
A subcontractor was nevertheless sent to her home on August 5. My mother told him she had canceled the service and did not want the roof cleaned, and no roof cleaning was performed.
The owner says my mother signed a recurring-service agreement containing a 30-day cancellation provision. We have repeatedly requested a copy of the agreement and the applicable cancellation terms being relied upon.
If that documentation establishes the company's position, providing the customer with a copy should be a very simple way to resolve that issue. Instead, the company continues to retain the full $594.39 despite no roof cleaning having been performed, and the charge is now being formally disputed with her bank.
Why was the full $594.39 charged after written cancellation and before the scheduled service?
No satisfactory answer has been provided by the owner.
Why is the entire payment still being retained when the roof cleaning was never performed?
The company claims a 30-day cancellation policy but has not produced any signed agreement.
Where is the recurring-service agreement and cancellation policy the company says authorize it to keep the payment?
Repeated requests for this documentation have gone unanswered.
Why do the company's appointment reminder and invoice show different service dates?
We asked for clarification; none has been received.
I am sharing my direct experience assisting my mother with this dispute so other homeowners considering LowCountry Exterior Cleaning Pros / LowCountry Gutter Cleaning Pros in Bluffton, Hilton Head, Beaufort, Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry know to carefully review any recurring-service terms, cancellation requirements and cards kept on file.
