“Gas , I’m sure as people know, went up like crazy during COVID so we kind of had to raise our prices to equate for that because we are driving around a lot,” said Caleb Asselin, the owner of Caleb’s Services. “If we want to set up another crew, if we want to get a plow going, that has a lot of cost.”
“When looking for employees for someone to run the same truck, it’s really hard to find people who want to work” because of the unpredictable and sometimes demanding schedule, Asselin said. “It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, you have to be ready to go. So you got to be able to pay good. Especially in this market, I would say everyone seems to be starting to up their pay because everybody is short-staffed.
“Across the board, the prices are going up,” said Crystal McDonald, the owner of Property Management Services Inc.160 homeowner associations her company manages increased from $4,000 per association last year to $10,000 this year. McDonald adds she understands why prices are going up but worries about the increased cost for the people who live in the 4,500 homes her company takes care of are now facing.
