Snow Plow Recommendation

[Jesse Grant]

Hi Bangor Maine Property Managers, Investors, My plow guy is problematic. He’s not giving tenants time to move cars, plowing snow into the walkways or not plowing at all. Any recommendations for a good plow guy? Also, any recommendations for managing tenant expectations and/or managing the tenant-plow guy relationship? Thanks!! Jesse

@Jesse Grant  Having good insight into this business from friends and colleagues in the business I think it is unrealistic to think that your plow guy is going to wait for your tenants to move cars.   If you want the plow guy to plow at specific time then you need to pay them more to do so when is convenient for tenants.  For example, my storage facility colleagues tell their plow guy they can plow anytime of day or be the last of their plows so they get the best price.  Most businesses pay to plow early morning because they have to for their customers.  If you want to take advantage of this find who is plowing the closest businesses to your property at the time you want it plowed and ask if they will give you a normal rate because it's a convenient add on for them.  If they only have to go next door to plow your place you can leverage good pricing.
