How to find reliable snow shovelling and grass cutting service?

Question

Can anyone recommend tips on how to find reliable people to shovel snow and do things like grass cutting? I usually look on places like Kijiji or on local neighborhood ads for my property, but I always seem to get cancellations.

I live in the Toronto, Ontario Canada area, but wondering if there are general tips to yield better results overall. Thanks in advance!

@Adeiya Denys Download an app called "Jiffy" it's a Blue Logo on the app store. Its a 3-year old Toronto-based on demand home services app that has a bunch of great handymen and contractors available in a "jiffy". Everything from snow shoveling and lawn maintenance to roofing and window cleaning. Every contractor is ranked and peer reviewed so if they don't perform well they get bounced off the system. They've done thousands of jobs across the city and now expanded to Ottawa and Boston.

I own a window cleaning company in Toronto and we are one of the contractors for Window Cleaning and Eaves Cleaning on the Jiffy App. Last year we completed something like 350 homes on there.

I'd highly recommend you get the app and schedule a snow truck guy to come by!

I'd talk to some neighbors and other investors as well.
