Residential snow cleaning

We purchased this service for my elderly parents. We decided to spend $500 more than our previous providers because we believed that they would do a better job. We have been nothing but disappointed. They do not clean all the snow, they are not timely, if they show up at all. We will not sign up with this company again and we will advise others to stay away too.

Company Response

This sounds dubious at best. We've been out 10 times so far in the month of December 2016 alone, servicing all of our clients to the absolute best of our abilities. I am not sure who this person is leaving this review, but I doubt very much that they are one of over 300 of our very satisfied clients.

We provide ample customer service for our existing clients, and many avenues to reach out to us if you have actual concerns about your service. If you'd like an issue or concern addressed, you know how to reach us directly. We've visited all of our clients (whom include corporate office buildings, hospitals, schools, etc), ten times in the last 25 days, and it is disingenuous and libelous for you to suggest otherwise. We always go out when a service trigger is reached, and our logistical company-wide response is infallible in terms of timing. If you're an actual client (which I very much doubt), and need assistance, you can email or call me directly for further help. - Mikhail

Snow Removal

I have used Monster Plowing Company for 5+ years and I have been totally satisfied with their service - reliable, efficient and responsive. Particularly noteworthy is their use of social media and up-to-date GPS technology and their communication on weather events and progress in clearing snow. I can recommend them without qualification.

Thank you so much Arnie for your long-term dedication to Monster Plow, and for taking the time to leave your review. It is clients like you who have helped grow the company to what it is today. Moving forward, we have upgraded our communication to include image logging after every service call. This new feature is part of our proprietary in-field Quality Control app, implemented fresh for this winter! So our communication, logging and reporting is getting even better!

Snow Removal

We hired Monster Plowing Company in 2012 to maintain our branch offices through the winter. I was extraordinary pleased with their efficiency and flawless customer service. They promised us service by 8am and were the first company to actually deliver. I highly recommend using them :)

Snow removal service

Work was completed on time with minimal customer disruption at my 3 locations. We don't have to call for follow up service over the course of the contract. One of the better service providers we have used for snow removal.

Winter cleaning

This team that comes here every winter, to take care of the plowing and removing the snow and making sure we have ice melting on our site to help all the customers that come in here to either park or pay their accounts. We are so proud of the work that they have done for us over the years and not once have we ever complained about what they have not done or did. I Michelle ( Site Manager) is so proud to send this review to you informing you how much happy we are to have this company take care of us and the site every winter.

Snow Plowing contract

We've hired Monster for a number of years now to service our driveways and office entrances. Our property has one main gate so it is very important that it receives timely snow clearing when there is a storm. They always arrive quickly and the work is done well. The updates they send via email are very helpful.

Approximate cost of services:
$2,500.00

Winter season plowing

I did not have a very good experience with this company - they did plow my driveway but the work I had to go through in order for that to occur was ridiculous, particularly given the very high cost they charge. Maybe they are good for commercial customers but their residential customers like myself fall to the very bottom of the list. They claim they come before the snow falls to scope out your property and make sure they are prepared. Well, the first snowfall comes and they plowed my neighbour's driveway, not mine. You would think they would be extremely apologetic and embarrassed - instead, I spent two hours of my day fighting with them and emailing them pictures as they (1) claimed I was mistaken since their records showed it was plowed and (2) when I sent them photos showing them proof, they said they were too busy that day to replow it but would make a note of it on my file for next time. Yes, they actually said that. As the season went on, they did plow my driveway instead of my neighbor's but are super strict on the snow minimum - if it is a tiny bit less than the cm required for plowing, they will not come. And if it snows five days in a row but each snowfall is technically under the minimum, they will not come. So you should just know that you may still have to shovel yourself. And then I had to call them a number of times again because I asked them not to put salt on our old stone steps but they kept doing so, and we have young children and the walkway they shoveled was done so narrowly that the stroller wouldn't fit. They would sometimes fix it but sometimes not. All in all, very poor service considering it cost so much!

Despite it not being a favourable review, we still appreciate your feedback very much. These experiences described are from the winter of 2014, and we would've hoped that we could have addressed your concerns sooner. Our records do show remedial service calls performed on 3 separate occasions that winter, and it is very disappointing to us that you were not satisfied with your Standard package snow clearing. In the years that have passed we have significantly upgraded our service, and no longer offer our lowest level Standard package that you subscribed to. Since posting this review, management has made several attempts to reach out to you to no response. We are always available in the future to discuss your concerns further.

snow clearing

We have 24 properties in downtown Toronto and Monster Plow clears the snow in the parking area of the properties for us. I have found this company to be generally good. I sometimes get complaints about the work from my tenants but they respond to the problems really quickly. Also, out of the 24 I have only had one or two complaints so that says something! I have been using their service for 3-4 years now and have been really happy with them.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with Monster Plow! Communication is key when working together with 24 families sharing the same driveway. Tim, you should get a 10/10 for coordinating all your neighbors together and getting the snow clearing done smoothly! As always we will be here to help with any issues that come up! We value your ongoing commitment to Monster Plow. Thank you very much!
