I called Milkie's for plow service after our last major snow storm. The receptionist was friendly and polite. The plow driver was extremely nice and made sure I was completely satisfied with the work he had completed.

I called and got 6 cubic yards of mulch. Good quality. Black die was well applied. My only disappointment was when they didn't show up on the agreed day, no call, no reschedule. I had to call them. Poor customer service. When I called Saturday they did show up as agreed - redemption. The guy they did the drop was friendly.

Great place to find parts for kerosene heaters. Very knowledgeable. If they don't have a part they WILL tell you where you can go and get it. Very personable. Prices are decent, and the guys down there know what they are doing.
