    We signed a contract with Blockhead for snow plowing, ***** season. Per their contract:This contract is for snow plowing provided by Blockhead. This service entails plowing snow from all driveways and other agreed upon hardscape areas when new snowfall reaches 2 and above. Any snowfall above 6 may require 2 services and any snowfall over 12 may require 3 services (depending on heavy, wet snow). Service begins after the first measurable snowfall and will continue until Blockhead occurs.I emailed Blockhead on January 11, 2024. The path they plowed was narrow, sloppy, a lot of snow was left on the pad in front of the garage (plow didn't get very close to the garage doors), and on the driveway in general. Their reply was 'Within the first *************************************************************************** ' They offered an excuse in place of fulfilling the contract.The weekend of January 12, 2024, we had snowfall during the day. A truck came at approximately 10:30pm. No one came back until after 10am on Monday morning, even though there was significant snowfall over the weekend. We were not serviced AT ALL on either Saturday or Sunday.On 2/15/24, my husband cleared a path using our snow blower. Even though there was significant snowfall, no one from Blockhead ever came.On 3/22/24, someone did come through our drive but the work was unacceptable. I have photos to evidence just how poorly and incompletely the job was done.Attempts to contact Blockheahd were met with excuses, or completely ignored, on multiple occasions. We have photos and security camera footage to document the lack of service, incomplete work, and damage/obstructions that were left behind. I emailed Blockhead on May 2, 2024, and again on May 7, 2024, to try to resolve this matter. I received no reply.I live next to three of my siblings who also contracted with Blockhead and experienced the same lack of service and professionalism. We are all seeking restitution.

    They do not return phone calls in a timely manner... if at all. They want 50% down before scheduling your work, but who in their right mind would pre‐pay nearly $4,000 to a company that doesn't return phone calls in a timely manner. It has been over a week and 4 message left on their voicemail and still no return call.

    Hello****,
    Your phone calls were returned twice and to no answer on our end. The last time we spoke you were told that a half down deposit was suppose to be made that week. 1 1/2 weeks later you tried to reach out to make the payment but with our current work load we did not hold your spot given that you did not make the half down payment in a timely manner. I apologize for the inconvenience but we cannot hold dates on projects that do not have a deposit.

    Contrary to Blockhead Excavation and Landscaping's claim, I did not wait 1½ weeks to contact them after I was informed that they wanted 50% of the nearly $8,000 estimated cost paid upfront before starting the job. The amount of time I took to decide if I wanted to risk pre-paying that amount of money to a company with so little history is not germane to my complaint. Asking for a pre-payment of nearly $4,000 was sprung on me at the last moment and required thought on my part. The very reason I requested a call back from them was to discuss the coordination & timing between my making the pre-payment and them starting the work. Something that certainly should be discussed between a company & customer.

    Additionally; contrary to their claim, they did NOT return any of my calls. Not once or twice as they claim. Neither of their known phone numbers appear in my caller I.D. nor have I received any voicemail or text messages from them since they asked for the nearly $4,000 pre-payment.

    Considering the fact that I would have very few options in regards to how I would recover my nearly $4,000 pre-payment in the event that this company never showed up to start and/or complete the work and considering the fact that this company was risking next to nothing with their ability to file contactor liens.... asking for a nearly $4,000 pre-payment and then not returning calls certainly does not leave a consumer feeling very secure! I believe that other consumers who may be contemplating the possibility of doing business with this company would benefit greatly from becoming aware of my experience with this company.
