Part 3. Exercise
We've used this company about 5-6 times, and the first time was a major irrigation system job and they did a great job (see my glowing 5-star review dated 5/17/12). I guess Dave only is interested in big jobs, since he has failed miserably on all subsequent appointments to do common maintenance (trimming, cleanup, etc). If he shows up at all, he's ALWAYS late. And the last couple of times he has been a no-show. He comes up with very creative excuses (I dropped my cellphone and it broke... My cellphone battery went dead... We aren't scheduled for houses in your area until NEXT week...I forgot my cellphone yesterday when we were supposed to do your yard... I texted you (on my landline?!)... He doesn't return calls or texts, but just sits in his truck talking on his cellphone or playing games on it while his excellent crew works their butts off. If his crew spoke English they'd dump him, since Dave is totally incompetent! AVOID THIS COMPANY, THEY ARE BAD NEWS!!!
Answer:
NEGATIVE
