| Sandy Snider is a complete moron! I wish I read this post earlier in order to avoid dealing with him altogether. Please DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT deal with this person. Claims he has "tons of staff on his payroll" but is compeltely full of shit! Contracts his work out to anyone who will take it. BEWARE! |

I am shocked and appalled to read such lies and slander being made against me and my company. Snider Homes is an honest company that has been operated by my family for 92 wonderful years. Honesty, integrity and trust, coupled with expert knowledge and skill, along with a general positive, can-do attitude are just some of the many elements to our foundation that has made and kept us successful for nearly a century. I would like to deal with the two comments that have been made above, one at a time:
1. The gentleman talking about removing garbage from our job sites is Sam Toti of Four Seasons Disposal http://four-seasons-disposal-inc-toronto.torontodirect.info/. Sam put a garbage bin on my own driveway while I was preparing to clean up my own house, renovate, downsize and move. Sam did not use the proper support or protection for my driveway under his bin, and subsequently, it began to dent and rust out my custom, pattern-concrete driveway. I informed Sam of this issue several times, yet he never followed through on any commitment to come and rectify the problem. Furthermore, when I was already finished with the bin and wanting it to be removed from my driveway, Sam refused to do so without being paid in full and in advance his requested $1, 700 bill. I explained to Sam that he would first need to remove his bin and repair the damage he caused to my driveway before I would be comfortable paying him any money. This was a more than reasonable request to be made on my part, especially since I was beginning to lose trust in Sam and his company, as he had continued to fall farther and farther away from meeting any of the commitments he had made to me. He was becoming less reliable for the needs I had on behalf of my customers where we used his bins, and of all people, he exhibited a horrible attitude and extreme negligence in his dealings with me on my own driveway. If this is how he was treating a man that was bringing him several thousands of dollars of business, Sam’s actions and judgement were clearly going downhill. To make a long story short, Sam ended up leaving his garbage bin on my driveway for nearly one whole year. And when he finally came to take it away without providing any notice to me, whatsoever, he dragged the bin across my driveway creating further damage in the form of chunks and divots taken out of the pattern concrete, leaving behind all of the rust and sink holes and in the end totaling up to $9, 000 in repairs. Sam was unresponsive to my attempts to reach him to get this all taken care of, and he was completely absent in taking it upon himself to do so either. Rather than suing Sam for this damage, plus the inconvenience of leaving an industrial size garbage bin on my driveway for such a ridiculously long period of time, I decided to just move on and forget. That is what nice, good-hearted people like I do in life. We try to avoid the negativity and undue stress in life that can be found in places like a court of law. Even when we have suffered and are entitled to compensation, sometimes it just is not worth it. But to be then further ridiculed unjustly and slandered on the internet by this gentleman who was completely out of line and has no place even being in business with this type of an attitude is totally unacceptable. Our company has not slandered him or his, nor have we pursued the money we are entitled to from him. We are merely the poor victims of horrible thread of lies which are attempting to damage our goodwill and long, positive reputation. Rather than starting a pissing contest, in which we could share the knowledge we have about this individual and his company that would not be favourable for him, we are taking the high route, and merely telling our story here to ensure any of you who are reading this get an accurate picture of this story, and furthermore, so that Sam Toti of Four Seasons Disposal realizes he has made a big mistake here and is best to cease and desist his slander against our family name and our company.
2. As for the second comment made above about me and our company, I have no idea who could have possibly written this. My best guess is that this is a competitor who has seen our success and growth over the years and is trying to damage our reputation, unjustly, for their own benefit. We strive to maintain positive and healthy relationships with all of our stakeholders, including clients, staff, suppliers, trades workers and even our known competitors. Now we all know that nobody is perfect, and you can’t always make a raving fan out of each and every single one of the people you ever meet in your life, but we are proud to have an extremely high retention rate of the many people we work with. That means happy customers providing outstanding referrals for us, happy staff that enjoy working for our company, happy trades workers that enjoy the work we call them in for as we need them from time to time and happy suppliers who enjoy the speedy payments we make on our accounts. Now we know, that despite our best efforts, we cannot please everybody all of the time, but we are quite confident that because we have always shown our best effort in making others happy, even those who may have chosen to move on from us and not return again, would never be unhappy with us to the point that they would want to slander our reputation. There may be some people out there who feel we were not the right fit for them, but I trust they would still recognize our honesty and integrity, as well as our efforts to do our very best all of the time. I could not possibly imagine that there is somebody out there who has dealt with our company that truly feels I am a “moron” and that people should “BE WARE of dealing with” my company. As I said above, my thoughts are that this individual must be a competitor who is trying to damage our reputation in pursuit of their own benefit, and this commentary is completely unfound. If this is not the case, then I encourage this individual to come forward and identify him or herself and present any issues they may have had with our company so that we can effectively deal with them and rectify the situation. I just cannot possibly imagine who or what this could be, but am always open to an opportunity to impress, or fix something that may have gone wrong. I encourage and welcome anybody considering doing business with my company to speak to my actual clients, my staff, my trades, my suppliers and anybody they wish that really does know me and our company so that they can get an honest, independent opinion of who we are, what we stand for and what we can be counted on to accomplish for you! |

After nearly one whole year passed since I last responded to this false information posted about me and my company, I figured the individual behind these lies had finally realized the error of his ways and decided to simply move on. After all, he was quite ahead with respect to the money, given that I had not decided to come after him for the thousands of dollars in damages he caused for which he was entirely liable. I am quite surprised, once again, to be seeing any further commentary here, but I guess some people just never change.
As the 3rd generation of my family's 93 year old business, I stand proudly behind my company, my name and my reputation. My customers, my suppliers, my trades and my colleagues would be delighted to share their experience with us. We are known for our honesty and integrity. We are known to be extremely fair. We are known for our high quality and competitive prices. We are known to pay our people well - we pay high wages for skilled and reliable labour, we pay a premium for superior quality products and we pay fast!
We had an unfortunate experience with Sam Toti of Four Seasons Disposal. With all of the best intentions in mind all those years ago, we can reflect back now and see that quite clearly, we made an error in judgement in supporting this individual and his company. This is not the type of person nor company that we are known to do business with, but at the end of the day we all know that nobody is perfect. We make mistakes, but we must learn from them and move forward. As one of the oldest contractors in Canada, we are quite fortunate to have a large network of incredible trades and suppliers. A few bad apples fall into the mix every now and again and it is our job to weed them out. As you can see from these postings, Sam Toti and Four Seasons Disposal is a perfect example of a bad apple, and we have weeded them out.
Learning from this experience, we have improved our screening process for new suppliers to ensure we are partnering with the right kind of people and businesses that will help keep us around for at least another 93 successful years of business in our family! |
