I usually shovel the driveway myself, but when I woke up with a terrible stiff neck yesterday, 2/27, I know I had to find another option. I called Residential SnowPlow Service at 11:00AM and spoke to a man who said that he was currently driving the truck and for some reason the calls were being routed to him. He asked where I live and he told me that I was within the service area and that he could plow my driveway that day. He asked that I call back and leave a voicemail with my name, phone number, and address and to write my info including credit card info and email address to send a receipt on a piece of paper which he would collect when he came. At 4:30 no one had come or called. I figured they were very busy this day after quite a bit of heavy snow, but I was just curious when I should be expecting someone. I called the same number as I did earlier and a different man answered. He said that I must have called somewhere else earlier because they are not taking new accounts. I politely explained that I indeed called this same number and told him everything that the man I spoke with earlier said. He took my name, address and credit card info and said that some one would be by that evening but he couldn't say what time. When we were getting off the phone he thanked me for my business. I was happy as long as I would be able to get out in the morning. This morning, however, I woke up to a driveway full of snow. If they did not want my business, that is fine, I just wish they would have told me so that I could make other arrangements.
