Second this, Brandon is great!
Good Day,
We have two large trees down at our place. Can anyone recommend a tree removal service that would be local? Thank-You. millern@rogers.com
Very timely question, Mike. This afternoon we added another section to our Local Contractors page. So far we have 2 recommended tree service companies.
Contacted Fawcett and they were at our place the next day.
Where is my recommendation submitted yesterday for Shipley Property Maintenance?
It has just been added this afternoon, Ron. There are only 2 of us working on this and, believe me, we are insanely busy!
Can anyone recommend a plumber?
Also have used Shipley. Very good and reasonable pricing
Thanks for your recommendation. We have added Shipley to the list of lawn contractors.
We use Shipley as well and are very satisfied.
We use KNK lawn care for fertilizing. Will they be added to the list
Thanks for this, Barb. We have added both to this page.
I have a cottage on Chiefs Points. Can I have Con-voi Septic (from Teeswater) look at my septic.
You will have to check with Kirk Roote if that is OK. kirk.roote@saugeen.org
McCartney Property Maintenance has cut our lawn since last year and we’re happy with their service. See: https://mpmlimited.ca
Thank you, Iris. We have added this company to the page.
I can’t believe cottagers that don’t own the land are paying contractors to cut the grass and trim the trees when we all just paid $1000 for a ‘service fee’ and can’t be there to do it ourselves. I suggested a few weeks ago that maybe Band members that aren’t collecting garbage or recycling, that aren’t collecting money at the beach access points because no one is at the beach, or at least shouldn’t be, etc. etc….I suggested that maybe these Band members can grab a lawn mower and get to work on ‘their’ land in our absence, but of course it wasn’t posted, and neither will this one I suspect.
Yes, we all agree that the SCOI leaders are doing an awesome job of keeping us informed during this unprecedented time, thank you, but every time I read the accolades on the first half of someones post, or in some cases, the entire post, I throw up in my mouth a little. Yeah, we bought these cottages for quite a bit less than municipal cottage owners did, but I’m starting to believe maybe it’s not such a great deal if we have to pay a lease fee and not use the cottage, pay a service fee when no service is provided, pay a contractor to upgrade our septic systems to bring them up to Ontario code which by the way, keeps changing every few years, and to top it all off, we’re all staring down the barrel of a fee increase next spring. Maybe not such a great deal anymore?
Can you add a list on the contractors page of cleaning services that are recommended? I received card in my cottage door for Tonia’s cleaning service but I have no way to determine it is is good quality or if another cleaning service is recommended.
Has anyone had good luck with any of the internet providers up here? Any specific recommendations or complaints? Not sure if I should just get a hot spot or try to set up a real connection out of my cottage.
I have internet with Bell. It’s not cheap, but it is good. Bruce Telecom would have been cheaper, but they didn’t want to provide service at all, so Bell was really my only option.
Lawn care and tree service is great, but what about an actual contractor? My floors were ruined by flooding last fall, and I have no idea who to call for help with this. Can someone recommend a construction contractor?
Should I hire an independent contractor to pick up my garbage since the band is not? Put my 2 bags out there last night in the bin and they’re still there this evening even though my neighbours garbage is gone. Don’t know what we’re paying $1000 a year for. Emailed Kevin Roote and got an undeliverable automated message back.
Is there any chance of getting internet access on Thompson Ave?
