"I called around 8 AM and left a VM. Within 20 minutes I received a callback. A crew happened to be close to my home so he was able to get them over right away...So quickly in fact I had to ask him to have them take their time because I needed to get ready. Everyone I dealt with was very courteous and professional. It was an overall excellent experience. I looked at prices from numerous other hauling companies, and theirs was the best."
"The team was awesomeâ ¦helped me haul in a furniture piece the movers left outside. They were in/out quickly. Payment easy. Would hire them again anytime!!!"
"The guys were on time. Very professional and efficient in the way they carried out their duites. I will use them again if needed. Thank you for clearing out the junk from my home."
"Scheduled couch pick up/ removal for donation. Process was easy (and quick) from initial contact, onward. Team was professional, personable and efficient. No drama, no unpleasant surprises. Communicated well to manage expectations with pick up time. Will use again!"
"I cannot say enough good things about Mauricio and his team. They helped with a house clean out for my mother who is relocating. They were efficient, careful, and most importantly sensitive and caring to this difficult life transition. I cannot recommend their services enough."
Begin by asking neighbors whether they hired a nearby junk removal company in the past. A great junk removal team should have glowing local reviews, an upfront estimate process, and easy scheduling. They should also be able to show proof of license and insurance. Lastly, get to know at least three junk removal companies before making your choice.
Follow the instructions of your dumpster company to pack it correctly, both for safety and efficiency. In most cases, bulk items are best at the bottom, and smaller items fill in the gaps. Try to balance the weight of your dumpster by filling the base end-to-end before piling anything else on top. Additionally, never fill the dumpster higher than the top rim so your team can safely transport it to the dump.
Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they’re the parts we typically don’t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.
Land-clearing projects often take professionals one to two days to complete, but your timeframe can get much longer—sometimes up to a week or more—if you need your pros to clear a large section of land, grind down multiple large trees below the ground, or clear especially dense or heavy materials, like landscaping boulders and brush. A land-clearing expert will usually give you an accurate timeline along with your quote to help you better plan your project.
Most junk removal services don’t take hazardous materials, including paint, gasoline, bleach, and other chemicals. When gathering quotes, ask the company about its specific restrictions.
