"I had hire them to remove wood from a deck that we had torn down. The wood was already stacked at the road neatly. This wood would have easily fitted into the bed of a standard pickup. He showed up in a small Toyota/ Ranger style trucks. He only took about a third of the wood. Did not say that he was leaving or that he was coming back nothing at all. I am very upset with this companys performance and professionalism. I had received an estimate from another company for the same price but choose to go thru Angis list because I thought I would be better protected. Senior citizen taken advantage of."
