We worked for USM under several contracts since 2008 until 2011. During that time, several contracts were not paid in full.

USM routinely hires contractors to perform work, then tries to jam them up with paperwork "even the legal/legitimate" companies, mainly landscape firms.

We had contracts that they offered to pay us $2000 that were owed $8000 when we terminated the contract due to non-payment, they're complaint was that the "new" sub-contractor had to "clean up our mess". .... really? How can you "clean up" lawn mowing, or tree/stump removal or fence repair?

They signed a contract for Bright Horizons school systems "kiddie schools", and after the first major services, "lawn mowing/mulch/cleanup etc" they tried to terminate the contract because they claimed we didnt mow the entire site.... then tried to pay us $200 for the mowing portion only!

We serviced a dozen Rite Aid pharmacies for them for a snow season in 2009-2010, the big year, they paid us most of the bill then disputed services for the remaining 15% at the end, and then claimed we were never supposed to supply services for one site on Kuser Rd in Hamilton, NJ. 

We sent out a bulk email to all landscape contractors in NJ and PA that we could find, and dozens reponded being burned by USM in the past years. They now go by the name "EMCOR" who bought them out, but no business practices have changed, or only for the worse.

Theyre the same FRAUDULENT company they always have been.  Steer clear of this place. You'll need an attorney to collect 75% of the bill, after the beat you down on price to the point your not even cutting a profit in the end before the legal expense!
