L&L Snowplowing and Property Maintenance

I had hoped to avoid this ....but.......as Homestars asked for a Review.... this might help other customers.....here it is ......Dwayne responded to the Homestars Job for Garden Maintenance (helping to clear/put mulch around trees in the yard) He showed up on time, did reasonable work and got paid - so why the 0-1 * rating??

I mentioned that as we use old barrels for burning when needed he offered to get me 6 and drop them off in the next week - I trust people... so gave him $140 cash....

When he/the barrels never showed up.....I contacted him on Homestars and on Aug 28 he said the had been "sick with the flu".........

On Sept 14 he responded saying he had been having "truck trouble" and would do it soon...

They never arrived so on when I contacted him again.... he explained he was having "phone and internet" problems.......

On October 13 I sent him this

"Dwayne, $140 is not worth being reported to the Police, complaints on Homestars/Angies/Google/Kijji etc .... we are available this weekend tell me where we can meet and you return my money- better still drop off my barrels.

Now it's mid-November..... no barrels and Dwayne has not yet said "the dog ate my homework" but I am sure it's coming.....

So... the 1* is for the work he did (which was OK) the 0*s is because he TOOK MY $140 and never delivered the barrels or returned the money - plus 0* for all the lame excuses....

I actually like Dwayne and appreciated his help but.... taking/keeping my $140 left me with a bad taste.

Dwayne provided quick, fair quote. He came a day earlier than planned and worked hard in the heat. He did a great job. We are ver happy with the results.

They looked after the front & back lawns sprayed for weeds. They whipper snipped & edged around the House, Fences, Sheds fertilized & arrayed ect . Also in the winter they plowed snow & they removed snow banks if they were to high salted driveway & sidewalks. they made sure to check on driveway if it snowed later in the day.
