ARVAT MATERIAL MOVERS

For a simple cleanup job, these guys can't be beat. They were easy to work with, polite, and cleaned up after themselves. My wife and I found them on-line and their website was simple but professional. I called the voice-mail, left a message. Within 20 minutes a young man called back and gave me a price quote of $75 dollars for 500 pounds, plus a $10 travel fee (they are in Clackamas, I am in Beaverton) but said that based on my description it might be more. Said he could actually come by the same evening. Two young men came by later that evening wearing company t-shirts and they seemed eager to do the job; they didn't even complain about all the thorny branches I had. They swept the walkway where they hauled the debris to their truck with their own broom and raked the area where the debris was with a rake I provided for them. They saved the branches and tree trunks for last, even though they were the heaviest items. They advised me that with the branches and trunks it would put me over the 500 pound mark, to about $650. "Here is comes" I thought, expecting the price to double. They said it would be $10 extra dollars, for a total of $95 dollars! After they finished loading and raking, they gave me a receipt and hauled away all the debris. These boys were easy to work with, I didn't have to take time off work and they definitely did not take any shortcuts in service and were very honest about their estimate. They just seemed like some very honest, hard working guys making a honest buck.
