Because it was larger than what we paid for, the cost was higher.  They did a great job.  I just wish they took hazardous materials too!

Arrived on the scheduled day, late in the afternoon. They had had a flat tire on the truck earlier that day and were running behind. I was impressed that they at least made the effort to show up as late as 5:30. Since it was too late to start, they returned the following day. Both workers were very nice as well as professional. They had to cut the trailor into sections which was hard work. Once completed, I paid them and they left. I was happy with both service and price.
Response from Junk Genius
"Thanks [member name removed] for the kind words and the great rating. We always try to do our best on every job. Believe it or not cutting your trailer was the highlight of our day. That's how much we love our job!! Even the hard jobs we love."

Requested mainly to remove antenna from roof. Missed communications, unable to locate my address. The couple did not seem confident to perform the task citing risk factors.  Thus, they removed other items for their minimum charge of $95.00. I was not pleased with their expertise.


Response from Junk Genius
"Hi (removed member name), we remove a lot of junk and donate items everyday. We offer estimates so that both parties are happy. Your very large cable dish is something we don't see a lot of and were willing to remove it for the price we thought was fair. I'm glad we were able to lighten the load on some of the stuff. Thanks for your input."

Junk Genius arrived on time.  They quoted me $120 for the removal.  When they were here they, unbeknownst to them, had tracked in some mud.  I asked them to put on booties and they were happy to do so.  They also took off $20 for tracking in the mud.  I was happy with that.  The two gentlemen were very nice and got the job done quickly.  I would definitely hire them again.

Showed up right on time and removed everything I asked. My only complaint is that when I spoke on the phone with Dana, he said based on what I had described (minus the chair...that was a last minute addition) the total cost would be around $125 - $150. When the crew got on site, I was told it was $125 just for the couch. Dana did tell me that it was difficult to give a price until they saw the material. The way they usually work is they just come out and see what you have, then give you a price on the spot.
Response from Junk Genius
"Thank you for your feedback and review and thank you for using our services. I try to give a reasonable price range on the phone but sometimes the items are bigger and there are more items than what was described to me on the phone.That is why the final price is not determined until we see the items. I try to be up front about prices on the phone as much as I can because I do not want to waste a customers time and have us come out and not be able to agree on price. With most of my competitors you are reaching their call centers and there is no comitment on price and they can not answer many of your questions and then the guy comes out and the price is way higher than what you thought. When you call me you get the owner not a call center."

I spoke with Dana, the owner, to schedule the pick-up.  Dana was very nice and professional, and answered all my questions.  I was able to schedule a pick-up the very next week, and was given choices about scheduling.  
The day of the pick-up, I got a courtesy call to let me know that the truck was on its way.  Arrival was on time, if not slightly early.  First, the two Junk Genius staff surveyed the items to be hauled, in order to give me a firm price.  Dana's phone estimate had been roughly $200.  The day-of price was $300, although I believe that was reasonable, since I had added some large, heavy items in.  This included a $25 discount for Angie's List members.
The items that were removed included:  a love seat, bookshelves, old humidifier units. an old crib, wrought-iron doors, electronics, lamps.
I appreciate the ease of scheduling, the on-time arrival, the efficiency of the work, and the fact that the physical hauling (including items in the attic) was included.  My two pieces of feedback are:  (1) please make a greater effort not to bump into the front door while taking items out (no damage was done, but there did not seem to be attention paid to avoiding it);  (2) this will sound hokey, but remember to say please and thank you to your customer.  I know that the bottom line is that the work was done as promised, and I appreciate that.  I remember reading other reviews that remarked on the politeness of the staff, and I felt that aspect could have been a bit stronger.  It makes a difference in the experience.
On the whole, I would definitely use Junk Genius again.
Response from Junk Genius
"Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with you and thank you for your review. It is very important to me that you are completely satisfied with our services and I review all feedback with my team in an effort to continuously improve our customer service. We have been in business for 3 years in Nashville and we take pride in the fact that we have never damaged a persons property while removing anything from there property but in case of accidental damage to property while removing anything I would like all our customers to know that we are fully insured."

The transaction with Junk Genius was excellent. Mr Boswell was very polite, congenial and efficient. He was very interesting to talk to and had some interesting stories about junk he has hauled away in the past. I thought the price was very reasonable and actually less than I anticipated. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend him to anyone who has junk they want to get rid of.
Response from Junk Genius

The guy from the company was on time, helped me haul an old ellilptical from my house, and loaded all the other stuff on his own.  Also, Junk Genius, from what he told me, recycles old electrical equipment, as in my case, old computer, monitors, etc...

We were very pleased with the service provided by Junk Genius from the initial contact.  I filled out an information request form on a Sunday afternoon and did not expect a response until at least Monday.  I was pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call from the owner within about 30 minutes.  He explained his services, gave me a good faith estimate over the phone. 
The representative called before arriving and indeed arrived on time.  He was very professional and helpful.  There was no increase in the estimate.  Very refreshing. We will definitely use Junk Genius again and highly recommend them to anyone for hauling away items no longer wanted.
Response from Junk Genius

Got this service through a "coupon" on Angie's List.  Couldn't remember the exact amount paid. No problem making the appointment. 
   I had 10 + years of stuff from attic to storage unit that I was anxious to get rid of.  Having someone come and get it all was an
   enormous relief......   so I was happy with this service.  Their pricing is based on what can be loaded on their truck and luckily I didn't have enough junk to go over the coupon amount. Very large items such as appliances would cost more (I'm assuming)

Response from Junk Genius
"Member, Thank you for takng the time to review our service. It was a pleasure to meet you and help you get rid of the items you wanted to get rid of. Please keep us in mind if you ever need anything else removed. Also if you know of anyone that could use our service we would welcome a recommendation from you because we know that the best recommendation we can get is from customers like yourself. Thank you again."

Dana and his helper arrived on time, and gave a very fair price. I had 2 rooms of junk that I needed to have hauled off.It only took about 2 hours, for them to complete the job.Dana is vey personable, and seems to be a nice guy.There were things on a cocktail table, that I did not wanted to be moved, namely pictures, in frames of, my deceased relatives, and baby pictures of my children, Later as I was straigtening things up, I noticed that my pictures were gone.I am heart broken over the lost, as i can never replace them.As i was in and out of the rooms, my advice to others, who use his service, is to stay and watch, what is going out.
Response from Junk Genius
"I do understand the customer's loss of pictures. I wish there was a way to get them back and I am truly sorry they were discarded.. They were near a pile of items she wanted removed and I guess we took them as well. We try to make sure that only the things the client wants removed are removed.. In this case there is just nothing more I could do.. I am truly sorry."
