3 months agoHostile, Unfriendly, Dismissive Avoidant, Had to involve the police. BEWARE - Writing a negative review will cause them to escalate. Update: I have a tenant who was shoveling out his car because services were not provided when I said for next time. After a "misunderstanding" of being scammed due to lack of communication. He mentioned how I shouldn't be upset because he doesn't understand the big deal is because somebody is already shoveling. Which made me feel unsafe because this person had enough time to drive by my home and point out my tenant shoveling when it's not even my tenants responsibility to do so. I feel uneasy leaving the home now especially with his accusatory/ hostile communication today. Update 2/5/26 They contacted me to perform service Because they refused to give me a refund, Even though Prior to the commitment I was not informed of A no refund policy. There isn't even a need for a service because it hasn't snowed since but I personally feel uncomfortable so I don't really want them on my property Then said if you're not going to provide me with a refund, I don't see what there is to talk about. They continue to go back-and-forth with me and then mentioned where I worked. It is coming across as very intimidating. Now I had to file another police report because I am concerned with what they will do next and have to block the phone number from reach reaching out to me. A business should not make it personal the fact that they searched me and then threw it in my face that they know what I do for a living is incredibly aggressive and it's a form of intimidation because I am now unsure what you are going to do next with that information. This is not a professional company They will not speak to you professionally, and they will not hold themselves in professional manner. They care about money & do not care about their customers at all from my experience. -

3 months agoI'd give zero stars if I could. No called/no showed yesterday, then didn't reply to texts when I politely asked what was going on. You're better off hiring a kid to shovel than dealing with these jokers -
