Hired on Thumbtack
Tough Guys helped to remove a large solid wood bed frame from my house. They were reasonably priced, communicative, very professional and showed up on time. They took the bed apart and removed it in seemingly under 20 minutes- so impressed; will definitely use them again.
Details: Large items to haul • Furniture, appliances or electronics • Enough to fill one pickup truck • One flight

Andrew was very responsive and helpful, and completely understood what I needed for the junk removal. He was very accommodating and really wanted to make sure I was good to go. I will definitely be hiring them in the future and highly recommend!

Hired on Thumbtack
I got into a bind after another Thumbtack pro did not listen to my instructions and I was left with a queen platform bed that was disassembled, but needed to be hauled away before a new one was getting delivered. I contacted Tough Guys on a Friday night, Andrew got back to me right away, and by 9 AM Saturday they came and hauled the old bed pieces way in five minutes flat. Super appreciate their professionalism and work.

I had a great experience with Tough Guys Junk Removal! They showed up right on time and got straight to work. The crew was professional, respectful, and handled everything quickly without cutting corners. The quality of their work really stood out — they made sure the area was completely cleaned up before leaving. For the value, you really can’t beat it in the Boston area. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for punctual, reliable, and professional junk removal or demolitionservices.

I had such a great experience with Tough Guys! Andrew was incredibly easy to communicate with. They showed up on time when they said they would. They removed and disposed of a 580 lb radiator!! No one else could move the thing, and they just picked it up and took it away. Very happy with the job. I will definitely hire them for all future projects.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We price by how much of our 15-yard truck your junk fills (a quarter, half, three-quarter or full load), and the estimate is free with no obligation. You'll know the price before we start, with no hidden fees. Repeat customers and larger jobs get a discount.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Send us a message or photos and we'll get back to you fast, usually within an hour. We give you a free estimate, schedule a time that works for you, and show up on time. We do all the lifting and loading, and we sweep up before we leave.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our crew is trained to safely move heavy, awkward items down stairs and through tight Boston hallways, and we bring the right safety and demolition gear for every job. We're fully insured.
