We hired Bernie for snow plowing this past winter. We have a shared driveway about 1/3 mile long total, 8 ft wide, windy and a bit uphill. It isn't a nice, easy job. Bernie was great to work with, always very communicative, which was a pleasant change of pace compared to other snow plow folks we have hired. He also did a *phenomenal* job of plowing our driveway, even when he had lots of snow. We have always had a home where we have either received or requested driveway snowplowing, and we have dealt with many snow plow drivers. Bernie by far does the best job we have ever experienced.
That's a big deal not just because of service quality, but also because we feel safer with large snow mounds in the right places and less ice residue on our driveway. I will be hiring him again next year without hesitation.

Details: I need snow plowing for the upcoming winter season • I do not need salt and de-icing • Driveway • 4,000 - 5,000 sqft • Moderate slope • My neighbors need snow plowing as well

Great from beginning to finish! Communication was effective; initial contact to signing the move contract took a few days and then the job itself was a few days afterwards. The work itself was moving an upright piano within a 25 mile distance. Two people worked the job with a pick-up truck and a U-Haul trailer. The piano was wrapped first in transparent-green moving/stretch wrap and then covered with moving blankets. Then, the piano was secured within the trailer using straps. The two-men crew utilized a two-person moving straps to move the piano up a few stairs and into the final location. There were no issues with the piano after it was delivered. They also took one of our other upright pianos but that job is linked to another person (receiving it) and I know it was delivered without issue as well. All in all, I was satisfied with the quality of service.

Other piano moving services quoted nearly twice as much, which I am sure will be important for high-valued piano moves (i.e., pianos costing more than $10K). For relatively inexpensive upright piano moves, PS&T did the work sufficiently and with professionalism. I would utilize them again in similar moving situations.

Details: Upright • No change in floors to load the piano • No change in floors to unload the piano • 21 - 30 miles
