Robert H. says, "I’ve hired my share of contractor’s over the years, but never had much luck. I’d become accustomed to lowering my expectations considerably, which - if you’ve ever been in that position - you know is frustrating. I have a big family reunion coming up, which is taking place at my house this go round. I’ve had multiple spinal cord surgeries over the last 20 years and am now getting ready for a hip replacement. Because of these health issues, I needed quite a bit of help to get my home and backyard as ready as I can. I took a chance with this website, and Joe was the first one to respond. As mentioned, I needed quite a bit of yard cleanup, in addition to clearing and painting my entire patio, which is very large. Joe was extremely professional when he stopped by to provide an estimate. He arrived when he said he would, asked all of the right questions about what my needs were, and provided an estimate later that day. I’d also met with a few other contractors, for comparison, but choosing to go with Joe’s company was really a no-brainer. He did not offer the lowest price, but I was convinced that I could trust him to do the work, exactly as I needed, for a fair price. I was confident that I wouldn’t need to double-check his work constantly and ‘fix’ all of the things that were done badly, if at all. It never ceases to amaze me just how many people are comfortable telling you that they have years of experience doing whatever your job requires, only to find out, too late, that it was all a lie. I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve fallen for this tactic more than once. But something told me that this time I could trust. I’m glad I did. Not only did Joe’s company get everything done on time, exactly as I’d instructed, but I had also added more than a few things that weren’t part of the original quote. He was able to accommodate this extra work for a reasonable rate, as well. I’d have been satisfied with just that, but Joe’s also managed to gather a staff of folks who actually still take pride in their work; who are respectful, not only to the client, but to the entire job site. I know I’ve gone on forever, but in today’s world, a great experience is no longer the norm. So, when you find a company that not only does what they claim they’ll do, and does a great job, at a fair price, they deserve to be acknowledged! I know Joe’s company is still young, and young companies rely on word of mouth to ensure their growth. It’s very easy to write nasty reviews about companies that have misled you, or broken their agreement with you; but it’s just as important to acknowledge those that honor their agreement’s. When you’re fortunate enough to find a company that goes above and beyond it’s even more important. If you need help getting something done, no matter how big or small it might be, just reach out to Joe’s company for a quote. I’m sure you’ll be just as happy as me when the job’s done.

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.
