I got a call sunday night for a leaf pick up before Christmas. Ha. Leaf panels are off and the v box salt spreader is bolted in.
I made some calls to see who was interested in doing the work and he charged him double. It still not getting pick up till after the 25th.
People are idiots.
Why would you wait that long. Its not going to get cheaper the longer you wait.

Then they aren't happy with the estimate and want it done for regular season cost. I'm not going to bust my ass and clog my vac a billion times for in season cost. People wait till end of season thinking companies are desperate for any work they will work for peanuts. These are the people you make a list of and avoid recurring services with.
