I agreed to pay a whopping $275.00 (yes, near $300.00) to clean roughly 1600 Square Feet. The ownder showed me a list of everything that would be covered in this deep clean. It was a rediculously high amount, but I agreed to pay because she employed local house keepers who were solid professionals. I was told the deep cleanings would be an all-day affair, and the weekly cleanings would be significantly quicker. I was quoted $85/week to clean 1600 Square Feet. I received a notification that two house keepers would be cleaning my house on October 9th, 2014, and they would be there around 12:30-1:30 and would be leaving around 5PM (the time I come home). I got home early from work at 2:30PM and was greated by two very nice and friendly house keepers. They left at approximately 3:30pm or 3:45pm. I do no know what time they arrived, I only know I was told they would come at around 12:30-1:30pm. The house smelled great. I told them I would sit on the couch and watch TV while they finished to avoid getting in their way. At 3:45PM, the house keeper notified me they were done with their cleaning. I was asked by one of the house keepers If I wanted to double check their work...I declined (BIG MISTAKE I AM PAYING FOR NOW). By the way the owner described the work, I didnt see a need. After they left the house, I did a small check-up on things I told the owner were important to us (blinds, window sills, dusting). All of these things were no cleaned at all. I will list some problems that I can remember off the top of my head... PROBLEM AREAS - spider webs on the chandalier above the dining room table - loads of dust on most furniture tops and bed siding - some baseboards werent touched - they mopped and swept around shoes and bags on the ground instead of moving items - picture tops were not dusted - the rug in the living room was not moved, only mopped and swept around. When I picked it up, there was a huge rectangle of dirt on the ground that matched the shape of the rug - blinds not cleaned - window sills not cleaned - air vents not cleaned - the list goes on and on and on... I thought, "If they call this a deep cleaning, what the heck are they going to do on normal cleanings?" I called the owner that night to let her know how disappointed we were that we paid almost $300.00 for a deep cleaning that would take "all day", and in reality, it took anywhere from 2-3 and a half hours (depending on if they showed up at 12:30pm or 1:30pm). At the time, the owner could not tell me when the house keepers arrived to my house. She assured me she could make it right by sending them back out there to fix things that were wrong. I told her it would just be awkward to have those same workers in the home making them fix all of their mistakes, and declined. I again declined to have different people come, as I already saw the quality of work that is done by this company. She charged me the full $275.00 the next day. BUYER BEWARE!!! Please, read this review before purchasing any services from this over-priced, under-fulfilled company. Do not let her justification of doing backgroundf checks and highering nice, local personnel lure you into believing that your expensive payments will go towards a good house cleaning.

He contacted us quickly with an estimate that both my husband and I were very surprised to hear....almost thought there must be a catch involved or that the actual bill would be higher than the estimate. Joel showed up on the agreed day and first thing in the morning with a full crew, at least 8 men, a huge truck with a lift, and a separate tractor for hauling away. We had 3 huge trees which were far too close to the house removed plus several smaller ones and countless large branches cut back away from the roof and decking. Joel and his crew were right on time and very polite. Cleanup job was superb. Other than the missing trees and limbs, you would never know they were here. I'm so pleased, that we will be calling him back when the budget allows to tackle the remaining giants which are too near the driveway. We would highly recommend Matthew and Jody's for any work needed and certain you won't find a more professional job at any price!!! Thank you Joel for the super job!

I called Mr. Foster and told him I had both 01/09 and 01/10 available for which he chose Friday January 10th. His crew of about 5 or so people arrived shorly before 9:00 A.M. and began working in unison with unloading their equipment, and prepping the jobsite. Since my tree was accessible by the bucket truck one person tied off sections with rope while groundsmen would guide the large limbs down after they were cut. This process was repeated over and over again until the entire tree was cut down. The crew graciously cut some of the smaller limbs into firewood lengths for me and stacked it beside my house. They chipped all smaller limbs and hauled away the trunk pieces too large to handle. After all was finished they blew off the driveway, road, and parts of the yard to make the area as presentable as possible. The crew was packed up and finished with everything by noon around 12:15.

He parked his truck and trailer outside my neighbor's house (vacant and up for sale), unloaded his stump grinder (which is operable by remote control) and drives on rubber tracks (which eliminates driveway scratching, and potential disruption of grass in some cases). The machine was precisely aligned with the stump and the grinding was started. Mr. Blalock took all safety precautions to include putting out orange cones around his truck and trailer, wearing a safety helmet with eye shield, and ear protection. The grinding took about 2 - 3 hours as he anticipated, and once finished he helped me spread the mulch and dirt into low lying areas. He finished the job by blowing off my driveway and advising if after a few rains I began to plant anything in place of the stump or roots and encountered something he potentially missed that he would come back out to grind again for free. I couldn't have been happier with my experience and wish Mr. Blalock did more than just stump grinding. He demonstrates a goal of exceeding customer satisfaction and fulfills his promises.

The kinds of items or materials accepted will vary by hauling company. Some companies will not handle hazardous waste, but hiring ones that do will cost from $5 to $100 or more, depending on what type and quantity of material.
Most companies will haul items such as:
Construction and remodeling waste: $100–$600
Appliances: $50–$600
Furniture: $50–$400
Electronics: $60–$200
Yard waste: $70–$500
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The cost to hire a professional junk hauling service ranges from $60 to $600, averaging about $270. Your final price is determined by the type of junk, amount of junk, the distance to the dumpsite, and the equipment required to move and haul your items or materials. Keep in mind that construction junk removal is more expensive than hauling household items, so expect to pay $800 for removing large piles of debris.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
