Recently at Hernandes Docks and Home Services we opened our plow books for new customers. Over the past couple days I've met many new and wonderful full people, unfortunately some of these people shared with me absolute horror stories about their previous plow companies. That being said, I want to share a few tips to make it easier for you this winter.
1- 1st and foremost make sure that your plow guy is fully insured both vehicle and business. Advocate for yourself and request a copy of their COI. Do not accept any excuses. Thier negligence and fly by night quick buck attitude can hurt you more than help.
2- cheaper is not always better, often times cheaper means a job half done, or showing up at their leisure. Remember your paying for a service. Pay the extra for, experience, reliability, for reliable equipment, and communication.
3- Ask about their company. You can learn alot about someone. Chances are if your plow guy only has himself and one truck, but has 2 customers in Denmark, 5 in Windham, 3 in fryeburg, 1 in waterford 8 in Brownfield etc, you will be waiting on him as he would be spread out and spread thin.
Remember that there are lots of good reliable fully insured and LEGAL plow guys out there do yourselves a favor and do your homework before you just choose one because he is cheap.
