Hari S. says, "Let me begin by saying that if you are looking for a local mover, there is one and only one mover you should consider hiring. And that is Chaudhry and Sons. I will give you my reasons. 1. They responded on time. And they arrived on time. 2. Their rates are fair and much lower than many big moving companies. 3. They are professional, personable, respectful, and truly love what they do. 4. They have the best smiles in the business. Not kidding. 5. Jamil and his two associates took the utmost care in moving my furniture. Allow me to elaborate further. I had two couches that I wanted to get moved from my Clarksburg home to Gaithersburg. They came in the house and looked at the 2 couches and with surgical precision wrapped one couch in blanket, strapped it and put it in their truck. The second couch was in the basement. Like a team of surgeons assessing a patient awaiting surgery, they looked at the couch and planned a way to get it up the stairs. My stairs are not straight up from the basement. There is a turn. And that is why it was tricky as to how to get this couch up without messing the walls. They figured it would be best to remove the legs of the couch, which they did. Even then it was going to be a challenge because the couch was quite wide and there was barely enough room on each side. There is a also a railing they had to watch out for. All in all, the couch was going to be difficult to bring up. After, careful planning, Jamil and made their way up, one step at a time. Slowly but very carefully they made it to the landing. This is where it got tricky. Remember, the turn? The couch would not cooperate but these guys did not give up, they maneuvered the couch a little bit this way and that way and made it turn. I was at the top of the stairs holding my breath! After the turn, the ordeal was not over. They brought it up one step at a time and then the door got in the way! One man who was on top of the stairs directed the other two at the bottom to turn the sofa slightly to the left and like magic, the couch was free! From there, they laid it on the floor, wrapped it and loaded it on their truck. I breathed a sigh of relief when the two couches were on the truck and was glad to see there was no damage to the walls. If anyone thinks moving furniture is easy. Think not. Even though they had special straps to lift, it is difficult job. So, let me continue. I reached home and within 10 minutes Jamil and his crew arrived, too. To make matters difficult, it started to drizzle! And I said to myself, now what! But for Jamil and his crew it was business as usual. They carefully unloaded the wrapped couches and started their walk down the side of my house and through a gate to the walkout basement. They moved the old sofas to another side of the basement and put the two couches in an L shaped fashion. See the photo. I paid them, gave them a good tip, thanked and wished them well. If I ever have to move any furniture, Chaudhry and Sons is who I will call. And so should you. Thank you Jamil and your associates and may your business grow a hundred fold each year!"See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much does it cost to haul off junk?

The average cost to haul away junk is $150, though this price can be expected to vary between around $75 and $375, depending on several factors. 

The first factor is the quantity of junk removed. Most junk removal services charge by the truckload, and most residential projects only require filling up part of a truckload.

Another factor is the type of junk. E-waste like computers and TVs may cost more to dispose of, as will more hazardous materials like mercury, paint and used motor oil. It also may cost more to remove big items like beds and couches.

To find out how much it will cost to get rid of your junk, get free estimates from the best junk removal companies near you.

How do you prepare for junk removal?

To prepare for junk removal, start by listing all the items you should get rid of. Organize your list by which items are appropriate for the junk collection team and which may have some resale value or could be donated. 

Move through your house and hit problem spots like closets, attics and basements. Make a pile of items you plan to keep, give away, sell, donate and have the junk removers pick up. Finally, contact at least three junk removal companies for price quotes.

How can I get rid of junk fast?

To get rid of your junk fast, start by organizing and making a list of what you have. Sell what you can, and give away items that you value but you don’t want to friends and family. 

If you don’t have the means to transport items or if you have too much junk to get rid of on your own, it’s time to hire a pro. A junk removal service can quickly and efficiently get rid of junk for you, including lifting heavy objects and making sure nothing is damaged.

Do you tip junk removal guys?

You may want to tip your junk removal team if they did an exceptional job. For instance, if they show up on time, are courteous and professional, take extra care not to damage your possessions and home, and leave a clean site afterwards, you may feel like giving them a tip. A reasonable tip might be $20 per crew member.

It’s also nice to tip them on especially hot days, or when the weather is inclement. You can also provide food and drinks for them.

How do you throw away a couch?

You can get rid of a couch by hiring a junk removal pro who can get it safely out of your house and dispose of it. There are other options as well, including renting a trailer and hauling it to a proper disposal facility, or leaving it out for someone to pick up. 

However, a junk removal service is the easiest option. This keeps you from having to lift a heavy object or risk scuffing up your walls. Furthermore, a licensed junk removal service can responsibly dispose of a couch, saving you from having to find a site.
