garbage collection, hauling services
 + 0 moreThe removal went great. Sam worked in complete sync with the building office, and completed the task while I was in a meeting at work. Very fast response time. Very reasonable rates! ( plus, My conscience is clear, knowing everything was disposed of in a green, proper way.) Excellent service!!!
Description of Work: The storage locker at my condo I rent out had been left empty and unlocked by my previous tenants. Someone stuffed the locker with their junk and remnants (essentially "stole" my space). The building told me that I was responsible for properly disposing of the contents, even though they weren't mine. Sam from A-ABF Hauling came to my rescue! I've relied on his excellent help for decades, and, once again, he did not disappoint! Sam came to the building, removed all the heavy contents of the locker, and recycled and disposed of them in an environmentally responsible way. I could not have asked for better, more efficient, hassle-free service than I got from Sam. Just the best!

 + -1 moreThursday morning Sam called about 9 AM and said he could be at the condo by 10 AM. I live about 10 minutes from the place,and arrived at about 9:55. Sam and his crew beat me by about five minutes. I opened the garage door, and pointed out the stuff that needed to be taken away. The task was completed in about 15-20 minutes. When I called earlier in the week Sam responded to my question about cost by saying that it would be determined by the cubic yardage of the load. That would be calculated on site. Once he measured a few of the items that were to be taken, he gave me his price list and the quote. When compared to another collection company that I had used (prior to becoming an Angie's List member) in another situation, I found Sam's price to be very competitive. I said so and Sam told me that his prices were lower because they reflected the cash flow the company generated from recycling the stuff that is collected. To my chagrin, the price of the other firm that I had used apparently did not not account for this aspect of the business. For that reason alone, I would have no hesitation in using Sam's services again, but in addition, I appreciated Sam's punctuality, his crew's efficiency, and the time taken to explain an aspect of the business that was unknown to me.
Description of Work: Subsequent to my mother's passing, I had to dispose of the relatively few items that were left after family members and various charities had chosen the things they could use or want. It was not even close to a full truckload. There was an old large Coleman gas grill that accounted for the bulk of the stuff. It was all in the garage so it could be removed with ease. I called A-ABF on Monday of this week, explained what I needed to have hauled away, and Sam Hoffman said he could be there at 10:30 AM on Thursday the 5th. He said he would call about 20 minutes prior to arrival.

garbage collection, hauling services
 + 0 moreThere was a glitch with the book online system, but no big deal--a phone call straightened it out. The original time window was fairly long, but Sam called in the morning to give me a more specific time. I was working at the house all day anyway, so it didn't matter much to me. I think I could have insisted on a narrower window if I'd needed it. After they left, I discovered they'd accidentally removed a plastic tub I'd planned to use as a cooler for my volunteer pain crew that afternoon. I should have paid more attention, I suppose. I wish Sam had said how many guys there would be so I could have had an appropriate cash tip available for each of them. I added extra in the check for the tip, and Sam said he'd make sure the guys received it. I'd recommend asking how many guys would be coming so you can plan accordingly for a tip. I was pleased with the service. They did a good job--thorough and efficient. ABF Hauling was less expensive than the larger outfits, and they recycle as much as they can.
Description of Work: Sam came with three employees on one of the hottest days of the summer. In about an hour, they removed 11 cubic yards of junk from all three floors of the house--carpets, pads, sinks, toilets, cabinets, other junk left behind by the previous owners. Sam walked through with me beforehand and gave me an estimate on the spot. It was pretty much right on. Then they got to work.

 + -1 moreEverything went smoothly from start to finish. I called and gave them a list of what was to be removed and asked for a ballpark figure. That figure turned out to be very close to the actual amount. Scheduling was quick, the crew showed up on time with a clean truck, inside and out. They hauled everything out at all the stops and we were done in a few hours. I will definitely use them again.

Description of Work: Having taken several bids for hauling old appliances, electronics and accumulated "stuff", we decided to go with Sam at A-ABF Hauling. We were more that pleased with the experience and his business matches our values...using local contractors, recycling, excellent customer service, promptness and care of/courtesy in the premises. Extra bonus, his price beat the others that bid the work! We'll use him again.

 + -1 moreSam, the owner of A-ABF Hauling, is a very decent, honest and hard working man. He returned my phone call promptly, and we made an apt for him to come and give me an estimate for hauling my junk. He quoted me a very fair price. When he was due to arrive the next day, with his men, he was running a very small amount of time late. He called to let me know that. His men were professional, courteous, and loaded their trucks with myk junk in a short amount of time. I then expressed, conversationally, with Sam that I had two beds that I had tried unsuccessfully to have a charity come and take. He offered to take the beds at no extra change, and proceeded to do just that. I highly recommend this service. Unfortunatley, I cannot use them again, since I have sucessfully moved to Connecticut, but for anyone in Chicago or the North Shore area, I found this to be an excellent service.
Description of Work: I recently moved from Illinois to Connecticut. When I cleaned out my house, I donated what I though others might want, but I still had a large pile of what I considered junk. I called A-ABF Hauling/Green Junk Removal, which I found on Angies List. They not only came, and took all my "junk" promptly and when they said they would, Sam, the owner, also took some excess furniture, which I was having a hard tine finding a donor for. He did not charge me for the excess furniture! I found him to be professional, helpful, courteous and to give me a very price. I hightly recommend him.

 + 0 moreABF Hauling provided excellent service start to finish. I needed this work done quickly and, although there were no available appointments, the company reviewed schedules such that they were able to accommodate my request within 24 hours. On site, the workers were polite, efficient, patient and helpful in suggesting which items should be discarded/recycled vs. kept for later use. They helped to organized the space, and cleaned up afterwards. I would highly recommend this company, which clearly places customer service as a strong priority.

hauling services, home & garage organization
 + 0 moreEverything went exactly as planned. There were no problems with any items I wanted to dispose of, they took everything. It took about an hour for them to box up and remove everything. The end result was just under the original estimate, so I was happy about that too.
Description of Work: After 17 years, I'm moving from a 2 bedroom apt. to a 1 bedroom. My focus was to get rid of household items, clothing, books, cleaning products, etc. Sam and his crew arrived on time. I had set up staging areas throughout my apt with the items I wanted to dump. They brought their own boxes and containers and packed up what needed to go. I live on the 2nd floor of a walk-up and they carrried everything out to the trucks. They were very careful not to harm carpets and furniture as they walked through the apt. They were very professional and worked quickly. I feel Sam, the owner, has a true understanding of customer service. He came to my home om 7/28 to give me an estimate. At that time he explained everything about his service. I love the fact that he recycles 85% of what he collects. I also found that the information posted on his web-site is true and accurate. He charges by the cubic yard and gave me a price list with his estimate of 10 to 12 cubic yards. The actual amount turned out to be 9 cubic yards for $290.00. I think this is a very fair price. I can't say enough nice things about this company and their service!! I had no idea how to deal with 17 years of accumulated junk and Sam solved my problem in 1 day!! I have already recommended him to all my friends and family. As a senior citizen, I'm really tired of being treated like I'm stupid; Sam is friendly, respectful and especially helpful on how to get full value for his service. Do yourself a favor and CALL THIS GUY for an estimate, you won't regret it!

The owner Sam and his crew did a job of hauling away 35 years worth of accumulation in my basement.

 + -1 moreI could not have had a better experience unless someone volunteered to do it for free. I found A-ABF on Angies List and called Sam for an estimate. He came by within 1 1/2 hours, quoted me a price and scheduled to haul it all away in two days (the earliest I would be at home during business hours). Sam called me late afternoon the day before ABF arrived to confirm the time he and his crew would arrive. He gave me a window between Noon and 1:30 the following day. Sam called about 11:45 on D-day to say they were on their way, and he and crew arrived around 12:20. I heard the sound of work and stepped out the back door to find 2 trucks. Sam explained that they were consolidating recyclables and donatables into one truck before taking away my debris. The crew got started on my junk and finished loading up the truck in about 20 minutes to a half our. They then swept away the remaining mess. I chatted a bit with Sam about smart phones and computers while doing the paperwork and we were all done. It was a very painless transaction from start to finish. They were very professional and personable. One the the workers literally whistled while he worked. That made a great impression on me.
Description of Work: After flooding last fall, I tore down several walls in my basement over the winter and piled up all the wood and panel on the back patio. A-ABF hauled away about 7 cubic yards of debris and cleaned up the remaining mess.
