I've used neighbourhood people to clear my snow in previous winters, but now that I have tenants living at my property, I thought I should go the professional route to be sure that the walkways were always properly cleared for them. Turns out I was better off saving my money and hiring a local teen. I've had to reach out to Monster Plowing a couple of times this winter to ask them to please send someone back to clear my sidewalk. (They only seem to like to do my shortest walkway, which I usually do myself long before they get here.) More recently, the longest walkway on the property has been so neglected that it has become dangerously built up with thick layers of snow and ice. When I asked them about it, Monster Plowing informed me that the walkway can't possibly be kept clear because snow is falling off of my (flat!) roof onto it. The local kids I've used in the past didn't seem to have nearly as much trouble keeping up, and were much more pleasant to deal with, so I'll be going back to them next year without hesitation.
