They work hard

The owner is easy to talk to and personable. Very satisfactory result dealing with an issue that came up and was resolved. Equipment is surprisingly quiet, they would be right outside my bedroom window and it never woke me up.

awful

they provided service a few times. However when I called them to return to remove the plow bank they refused and are now refusing to service my driveway for the remainder of the season. the customer service person is very rude and does not know customer service what so ever.

We beleive you are the same review as before.... please state your name and address. As a company we have the right to terminate any contract at any time on our pro rated refund basis. We allways come back for the city plow within the specified time line of our terms and conditions which are in correspondence with the cities publicized plow schedule. If your house was plowed in 5 days later after it stops snowing there is a "out of contract $30 plow fee"... we encourage you to contact the city and go back to their 2015 5cm thresh hold for snow removal. As a company there is a clear reason for us terminating your contract we opened dialogue explaining how snow removal works and we tried to work with you. In the end we realized it was better to just refund your portion of the contract As for making false claims that we don't come back for plows dumps within our olibgations of our terms and conditions govern yourself accordingly.

Snowplow

My lane was cleared sometime after 1 am - long after the snow stopped falling. I submitted a call ticket at 8 pm wondering why it wasn’t done. This is the second time I have had to wait so long. Driving around my neighbourhood I don’t see very many central snow markers so I am assuming that centrepointe is a very low priority- even though I have paid the full price. This wouldn’t bother so much if I didn’t have to leave my car on the road for hours on end waiting for the plow to show up and then because they didn’t come within a respectable time frame, I had to forfeit getting a perfectly clean driveway because I couldn’t leave my car on the street overnight.

We have responded to all of your snow tickets in a timely manner and met all of our contractual obligations according to the terms and conditions of your contract. After repeatedly trying to work with the customer who expects us to come back to her address because she's moved her car after we have already been there twice in 24 hours we have come to the conclusion she doesn't fully understand the contract or how our snow operations work. We have further more opened dialogue tips and hints on how to get the most value out of our snow service. i.e put car in the garage or submit a snow ticket letting us know if they have been randomly plowed in by the city.... submitting a snow ticket alerts us to the fact you have been plowed in and we put your address in que for a cleaning. The ticket system is not a garage door opener for instant snow removal within the hour but more of an approach to letting our customers be our eyes and ears to what areas are getting plowed in. In certain instances we will contact a customer if they submit a ticket but in most instances we will just resolve what the ticket is about and it won't happen again. After offering a refund and explanations on how snow services work and solutions multiple times this particular client refused a refund and We have finally decided it is necessary for the company to terminate her contract and a pro rated refund cheque is in the process of being issued. We wish her the best but don't see further dialogue leading to the client understanding the terms and conditions they agreed to.

Snow Removal Services

Absolutely great service! I moved in February and the previous owner left me high and dry by removing their snow removal service. We had a crazy snow fall and I couldn't reach anyone to ask for snow removal service so late into the season. Luckily, my neighbor had central snow and the operator was kind enough to help me out for a 1 time service.

I signed up with them this year and they are fantastic! They send lots of email updates and information on upcoming snow falls. They indicate when they will pass by and they always try to follow the city plows so that I don't have to deal with the giant wall at the end of the driveway. They are consistently providing information, great client service and care to our shoveling needs as well as our driveways.

Snow Removal - Great Service

They do a great job and have a good system.

If you have an issue then you can submit a ticket through their website which apparently shows up in real-time to the drivers who can review and decide who should go.

I do that and they show up within the hour or faster to do the work.

Good points:

- Clear the road on both sides of the driveway
- Always come back after plow comes by.
- Send email updates and plans

No service at all, poor customer service

UPDATE: Manager and driver both came by later in the day and cleared my driveway and we agreed to see how the next snow fall goes. There was a full 13cm on the driveway when I first submitted a ticket and made the complaint. Will continue to update as I have more experience with this company.

First major snow fall and they are nowhere to be seen. My neighbours have been cleared with the first plow appearing at 4am yesterday. I submitted multiple tickets online and still nothing. I check my street and everyine with competing snow companies have clear driveways but not Central Snow customers. I called and he tried to say that they would have done a first pass and then had more snow accumulate. I told him this definitely wasn't the case as I was home checking. He said I'm not understanding, driver wouldn't have missed multiple houses. I said I could tell the difference and it wasn't done, at which point he said he was cancelling our service. Now I have a driveway full of snow that I can't clear because I am disabled and my husband is deployed.

This review is very misleading especially the poor customer service portion as a manager was at your door within minutes of your complaint to discuss your issue. This manager cash in hand offered you a full money back refund which you denied. He then explained it was a 14cm storm our tractor had come around removed 7cm which is time stamped by our GPS software. a new 7cm had fallen along with a plow dump at the end of your lane....Our drivers at this point are out working on their 2nd pass. If a customer does t pay attention to their laneway realizing this is a new 7cm they can assume we haven't come by yet which isn't the case. It is very rare for a driver to completely miss a driveway on his route. We have 1000 happy customers prince of wales to centre point and have a very low refund rate around 1% we are allways open to positive and negative feed back as long as it helps us improve and is correct non misleading info. Saying all this we stick by our 100% money back service guarantee and are more then happy to refund you contracts value. We beleive without even asking him your driver also stopped by to speak with you in person. After the next few storms we will touch back with you for a new review that depicts the true nature of our service.

Great Service Great Value

Choosing Central Snow Was The Best Decision I Made This Year. My driveway was always clear any hour of the day. I joked with neighbours that missed the sign up deadline on day we got 40cm in 24 hrs. 1 by 1 they came over taking down Centrals Number I kept telling them didn't I tell you to call these guys a few months ago. They now cut all the lawns on my street and one of their workers did me a favour removing brush for free since he was already heading to the dump. Just Signed My Renewal Looking Forward To Not Shoveling Again This Year.
