I found 'A Touch of Glass Windows' here for my house and conservatory. Mark, who owns the business, walked me through what to expect, cleaned my windows beautifully, including my conservatory roof windows and gutters last minute, charged a very reasonable rate (significantly less than fantastic cleaners) and as a bonus was lovely to have around. He's my go-to from now on.
I responded to a pitch by a contractor who approached me after I recorded a need with Bark. I accepted his proposal subject to a central condition, vital to its success. I had a serious problem with him after he brushed aside my request that he should remedy work which totally failed to achieve its main purpose; Bark listened to my account of my dissatisfaction and published it

We had some excellent speedy responses but a change of plan meant that we didn't use their services in the end. Will use in the future though.

I joined bark.com as a professional.
It has been a total waste of money.
There is also NO refunds if you do not like their service.
So money down the drain.
Don't waste your money on joining.
Hi there Julie,
We're sorry to gear that you have not had success using our platform.
We offer professionals the opportunity to try and convert business and market themselves at the fraction of the cost it would normally be to get themselves to the top of Google (which is what we do). We do not guarantee work, but provide a platform that should garner professionals a 1 in 5 conversion rate - essentially we want to get you a return on investment. We do not charge commission and so do not take any earnings from you, nor do we take any earnings from repeat business you may win.
Please do email us at [email protected] for our best practice tips.

The counselor was very good at finding out more about why I am... in a way, he translated Istoria's model in life history very well. Through the counselor's guidance, he found several issues that still affect me today. Istoria Project is a need for me.

I was looking for a reliable tradesman to replace my garage roof. Bark were quick to respond with details of tradesmen in my area. I was contacted by all the tradesmen and provided with quotes. I have arranged for one firm to carry out the work. The only downside was that I was inundated with emails from Bark requesting a review from me before I had received all the quotes.
Hi there Merv,
