It went great. I spoke to Ed yesterday and verbally agreed on a price of $200. He removed old wood when I wasn't home and trusted me to send him a check. His schedule got slightly delayed and he kept me informed by voicemail and texts. A day after verbally agreeing to to remove the wood, job was done. I only wish all contractors were like him.

The service was straight forward and simple. They removed a chest freezer and desk that I did not need and took some other lightly used items for possible donation and simply removed other old lawn equipment and tables. Service was very reasonable and quick once we could match schedules. The team of two was careful to protect my floors and walls while moving items. I will use again when needed.

I had initially purchased a Big Deal coupon on December 29, 2013 for $99.00 for 5 cubic yards of junk hauling.  Ed Wilkins got in touch with me promptly by email to set up a time to do the work.  I told him that I would prefer to wait until April or May when I did my spring cleaning to make an appointment.  He was perfectly fine with that.
I called him on May 9, 2014 to set up an appointment, and we scheduled for May 24 at 11 am.  He arrived promptly, and quickly removed the items from my house.  I believe I had less than the allowed 5 cubic yards - he told me to imagine an area that would be filled by 5 washing machines, which really helped me determine what would go.  I had maybe 2 1/2 washing machines worth of stuff.
After he had finished loading the items, I asked him if he would give me a quote to get rid of an old incinerator that I had in the basement.  It looked like a 55-gallon drum, and I assume it was quite old as the house itself is 120 years old.  He  took a look at it, kind of shifted it to see if it was cemented to the floor, and was easily able to move it.  It was cast iron and quite heavy!  He gave me a bid of $150 and said he could take it that day.  Well, I was quite pleased with that answer and - poof - it was outta here!!!  I had been thinking about getting rid of that old thing since day one!
I found Ed Wilkins to be very personable.  He was friendly, but still business-like, which I greatly appreciated.  I understand from talking with him that he also does moving.  I found his price to be well within reason.  Believe me, this incinerator was belching ash and all sorts of stuff.  I apologize to Ed for not cleaning it out, but I was not expecting to be dealing with it.
I would definitely call on him again.

A1 was very responsive to our call and scheduling the appointment. A1 showed up on time and turned out to be a one person company, using an old van for transportation.

The whole junk removal became a challenge as it turned out that our junk (old kitchen cabinets) to be removed must have exceeded five cubic yards. The five cubic yards were a somewhat bad measure as one might not have a clear account to how many cubic yards the junk would exactly amount to.

To make a long story short, the A1 owner and I ended up working together for about one hour and loaded the van. For the excess junk, he charged me more than $300.-. That is in addition to the $99.- coupon. While it was certainly my mistake not to agree on a final price from the get go, I was somewhat puzzled to be charged such a high amount for the additional time and excess junk. This was definitely the most expensive time I ever spent, working hard to support a service provider who did not have the capacity to do the job efficiently.

I'm a simi-handicapped senior living alone.I'm disposing old goods a little at a time to pare down the volume. The price for this haul-away fit this method well. In the spring I will have a major disposal of old goods when I have help from my out of state children. Everything went as I had planned.

It was great and everything worked out good. The scheduling was really easy. They called me and we went through it. They were on time and I can’t complain. They got the job done in about 20 minutes. They sent 2 guys out. They sent me a thank you note in the mail thanking me for my business and I thought that was really unique. I would definitely use them again.

The weather was really bad this day but Ed the gentleman who owns and operates the company called and said he would come out even though the roads were bad, He showed up on time and had the materials loaded up quickly and was very friendly to work with. I will absolutely use A1 Hauling again for my next project. His prices are competitive with the Bagster service but doesnt require me to leave a giant green bag of construction materials on my front lawn for weeks.

Ed arrived promptly, even though he had called to say that he had hit traffic and might be late.  He and his helper went right to work and carried out some pretty heavy stuff.  He even removed old paint cans and a cabinet TV from the 2nd floor.  On my request he and Roger carried a heavy TV table from the first to the second floor and even lifted the older very heavy TV onto it.  Since the extra moving was not part of the bargain, he charged a slight fee for doing this.  Ed is quite personable and very professional; he sorts the junk and takes it to the appropriate landfill or recycling center.  A class act!

Very professional and prompt. He called me and we made the arrangements. He came when he said and did what i paid him for. It wasn't a pleasant job but he made no complaints about it.
