"My advice to anyone needing junk removed from a home, call PA Junk Solutions LLC. My wife and I purchased a home 70 miles from our home that we lived in for 45 years. I don't think I have to explain how much stuff is accumulated in 45 years and after 3 kids. I checked Angi for junk removal service and the young lady from PA Junk Solutions LLC contacted me within minutes. I mentioned that our home needed to be cleaned out before it was being shown on the market, and that was in 2 days. They had their men, a father and son team at the house the next day, I pointed to what I needed removed and they went to it. They amazed me. They had their pickup truck box and a 12' trailer filled with my junk in just a few hours. Not only did they remove the junk, but they also swept and cleaned up the areas they removed stuff from AND ran a wheeled Magnet to pick up any fallen nails or screws in the yard, sidewalk and road. Thank you PA Junk Solutions. You are the BEST."
