    Dispute Timeline

    Chronological sequence of events leading to the billing dispute.

    1. Appointment Reminder Received

      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

    2. Written Cancellation Submitted

      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.

      See Evidence Gallery: Cancellation Reply

    3. Full $594.39 Charged to Credit Card

      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

    4. Refund Requested Directly From Owner; Refused

      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.

    5. Technician Dispatched; Service Declined On-Site

      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.

    6. Dispute Filed; Refund Still Withheld

      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.

    Complete Review & Consumer Account

    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.

    Disclosure:I want to be clear at the outset: my mother was the customer, and I became directly involved in helping her resolve the billing dispute after the company refused to refund her. I personally emailed the owner, Luke Muenzen, and requested supporting documentation, reviewed the appointment notices and invoices, and assisted with the dispute after it became clear the matter was not going to be resolved easily.

    Basic Facts

    • 1My mother received an appointment reminder on July 29, 2026 for a roof cleaning scheduled for August 5.
    • 2She responded in writing less than two hours later saying she did not need the service and wanted it canceled.
    • 3Her credit card was charged the full $594.39 on July 31, after the cancellation request and before the scheduled service.
    • 4No roof cleaning was ultimately performed.
    • 5The company says she was enrolled in an annual recurring service with a 30-day cancellation requirement.
    • 6We have repeatedly requested the agreement and cancellation terms the company says justify retaining the full payment.
    • 7The appointment reminder listed August 5, while the later paid invoice listed a service date of September 3.
    • 8The company continues to refuse the refund.

    Concern #1: Insufficient Advance Notice

    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.

    Concern #2: Obstructed Cancellation Process

    The cancellation process was another concern:

    The appointment reminder did not provide a clear cancellation button or obvious method to cancel the service.
    In our experience, calls to the company's number were not answered and appeared to be screened.
    Some communications came from no-reply email addresses.
    The mailing address provided by the business appears to be a commercial mailbox located inside a Staples store (78 Folly Road Blvd ste b9, Charleston, SC 29407).
    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.

    Concern #3: Full Charge Before Service ("Pre-billing")

    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.

    Concern #4: Date Discrepancy in Company Paperwork

    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.

    Direct Contact With Owner & Subcontractor Visit

    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.

    For clarity, our complaint is not with that subcontractor. He was polite and apologetic, even stating that he unfortunately sees this type of situation often.

    Missing Agreement & Cancellation Terms

    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.

    Unanswered Questions

    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.

    Consumer Protection Recommendations

    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.

    Service areas affected:Roof cleaning Beaufort SC • Pressure washing Bluffton SC • Soft wash Hilton Head Island • Gutter cleaning Charleston SC • Exterior cleaning Jacksonville FL

    Get Everything In Writing

    I would strongly recommend getting all recurring-service and cancellation terms in writing and keeping copies of every appointment reminder, invoice and email.

    Review Automatic Renewal Clauses

    Many exterior cleaning businesses (roof cleaning, pressure washing, soft wash, gutter cleaning) use annual recurring service agreements. Always ask: "Will this automatically renew? What are the cancellation terms? How much advance notice is required?" Get the answer documented before providing payment information.

    Monitor Credit Card Statements

    If you have used exterior cleaning services that store your credit card on file, review your statements regularly for unexpected charges — especially around anniversary dates of prior services.

    My Concern Remains Simple

    • Why was the full $594.39 charged after written cancellation and before the scheduled service?

    • Why is the entire payment still being retained when the roof cleaning was never performed?

    • Where is the recurring-service agreement and cancellation policy the company says authorize it to keep the payment?

    • Why do the company's appointment reminder and invoice show different service dates?
