"David did an awesome job. He came out measured the space and ordered the material We had just bought the property and have a dog so we asked for him to install as soon as possible. He started on a Friday and finished on Saturday. He wouldn't accept payment until we were completely satisfied with the work. Great job."

"Justin and his crew displayed great sensitivity during an emotional time, kept in constant contact, sent updates and photos throughout, and worked to proactively set aside sentimental items that I overlooked. He worked closely with my real estate agent to get this house, which was incredibly stuffed, cleared out in record time. This was immeasurably helpful to me as I am out of state and he handled it as if it were his own property. I have already hired him to clean out additional storage units, knowing that they are in good hands!"

Hauling FAQs, answered by experts

The costs vary from $50 to $150 per item, depending on its size, location, and disposal requirements.

Costs depend on item size, accessibility, and additional services like disconnection or recycling.

Costs depend on waste volume, service frequency, and additional options like bulk pickups.

The most affordable way to get rid of junk often involves a do-it-yourself approach, especially if you don't have a large amount of debris. Start by sorting your items into categories: donate, recycle, sell, or trash.

  • Donate or Sell: Usable goods can be donated to local charities. You can also list items for free or for a low price on platforms like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

  • Use Municipal Services: Your city's regular garbage collection or bulk pickup days can be the cheapest option. However, be sure to check community guidelines for quantity limits and accepted materials. You can also take recyclables to a city drop-off center.

  • Haul it Yourself: If you have a truck or suitable vehicle, loading the junk and taking it to a local transfer station, public dump, or waste disposal facility is a very cost-effective method.

If a DIY approach isn't possible, consider these options:

  • Rent a Dumpster: You can rent a dumpster, fill it yourself, and the rental company will haul it away. This is a good middle-ground if you can do the labor but don't have a vehicle for transport.

  • Hire a Junk Removal Service: While typically the most expensive choice, hiring a professional junk removal team is the most time-efficient and requires the least effort from you. This is a good solution if your city's services won't accept the items or if you are unable to move them yourself.

While temporarily inconvenient, repiping a house is not super invasive. Depending on the size of your home, the project can take a few days to a week. During that time, plumbers may turn your water off here and there, but you won’t be without water the whole time. If you’re worried about living in your home during this renovation, you can always stay with friends or family or book a hotel room.
