[M2inOR]

We use Deans as well as about 65 other neighbors in our neighborhood. A few have or had Masseys, as well as other independent and small providers.

Masseys was a problem for a few neighbors due to staffing problems. A labor shortage.

Dean's pays their workers for the entire year, while Massey was laying off employees during the slower winter months. Those employees would set up their own business, or join another employers so they would have year round employment.

Most of us use Dean's for lawn maintenance (cutting, fertilizing, and weed control), pest control, and outside vent cleaning.

Never worried about termites. All homes are stucco/block construction in our neighborhood. Almost all homes are full-time occupied.

One problem that appeared for part-time residents was failure to perform services. Not a Dean's or Massey problem, but rather will some of the small time operators.
