HD & Servicemaster

[Williams Services]

Have you guys heard that HD & SM are teaming up? One thing that they'll offer is of course prof. turfcare. How do you think this will impact us? At all? I lost a clean-up to SM, I noticed.

I think you get what you pay for. Home Cheapo isn't really known for the best contractors doing work for them. They only pay a certain amount and it is usually the cheapest they can find. High quality companies don't sign on to that. As far as ser. mstr, well it usually doesn't take long for people to realize they are getting screwed. I think it a situation that will play itself out. Home Cheapo loves to be in charge and use strong arm tactics to get things unbelievably cheap. Servicemstr is the same way. They don't like taking orders and are only about the amount of customers and revenue.
