Trash N Dash is Greater Houston’s friendliest and best priced junk removal service. We offer attic & garage clean outs, hot tub removals, and light demolition of storage sheds, decks and fences. As leading Junk Removal professionals in the industry we offer free estimates, upfront pricing and some of the lowest minimums in town. Our service area currently includes Houston and its surrounding suburbs including but not limited to Baytown, Bellaire, Conroe, Deer Park, Friendswood, Galena Park, Highlands, Humble, Jacinto City, Katy, League City, Missouri City, Pasadena, Pearland, Porter, Spring, Stafford, The Woodlands, Kingwood, Atascocita, Seabrook, Cypress, Sugarland and Alief. If your area was not mentioned, please feel free to gives a call! WE ARE INSURED. We are also accredited by the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU and hold an A rating. Please feel free to check out our reviews anywhere on the web, they' re great! At Trash N Dash we don’t just talk trash we back it up with the best possible service to all of our customers. Our goal is to ensure that every customer is more than satisfied with our service so that they will always think of Trash N Dash in the future.

"Do not use this service!!! We hired them to remove a desk and two bookshelves when we were moving out of our apartment. When we went into the backyard for a moment to grab something, we returned in the house to find they had thrown out four antique chairs belonging to our landlord which they were explicitly told not to take. On top of that, they broke the chairs immediately to throw in the truck so they were completely unsalvageable. When we talked to the managers about it, their stated policy is that they will only reimburse items they destroy by mistake if you are standing there watching them do it, you tell them not to destroy the item, and they refuse to stop. They also insisted we were lying about telling them to not take the chairs, and because Trash N Dash does not give you any paperwork or contract we apparently have no recourse. Not only are we now being charged hundreds of dollars for these antique chairs by our landlord but Trash N Dash left broken glass and sharp screws in our driveway when they left that we had to clean up. Ultimately, Trash N Dash is extremely unprofessional and has cost us a lot of money."

Our mission is to provide our customers with quality work at affordable prices. We also warranty our work for one year which includes parts and labor and have an on-call staff on Saturdays .

"Technician looked at control pressed the liter button and the burner lite. He then wiped his hand over one of the side vents and said that could have been the problem...did not vacuum off the vents. Nothing wrong with control valve. Charged me $150 for lilting the heater. When I questioned the charge, he said that was a discounted charge. Never gave me an estimate for what the work cost...because nothing was wrong with heater. Talked with their manager and got the story about how much it cost to run the business. They offered to take $25 off bill. Their service assessment is $49...would have considered that to have been fair because that's all he really did. Have done business in the with A-Better Plumbing for home and rental property and charges were fair. Understand they have new owners. Senior taken advantage of..."

"We had the arm of an electronic gate replaced as well as having our wrought iron fencing painted. They did an outstanding job and performed all of the services the day after providing an estimate. Had a team of 4 or 5 that were courteous and left the place spotless. Could not have been happier with the work they did."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even if the project only involves grading or yard leveling. Excavation permits help protect the topography in your area and can avoid issues with poor drainage. In most cases, your excavation company will know whether or not permits are required and will even pull them and close them out for you before and after the job. You can also verify whether permits are necessary by calling your local building department and explaining the proposed project.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Professionals who complete perc tests can usually do them in a single day. Including excavating to expose the test site, filling the hole with water, and monitoring it while it drains, you can expect the test to take between four and eight hours total. It’s possible that you’ll get the results the same day, but some companies may take a few days to get official results.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.
