  • Walks your row, tests gate with you, offers right size (not upsell).
  • Clear storm/late-pay communication + posted emergency contacts.

Call twice (weekday + Saturday), email one question, read owner replies to negatives. Tour finalists and pick the team you’d call at 8pm.

FAQs

Local or chain service?

Locals often more flexible; chains more consistent hours. Both can excel — test, don’t assume.

What if service sours?

Month-to-month is leverage. Document, escalate once, then transfer — moves within town cost one truck.
