“I had a great experience working with him. He assisted me with moving furniture, breaking it down, and removing everything for disposal. He worked quickly, handled everything carefully, and made the entire process incredibly easy. Professional, efficient, and very friendly throughout.

I had a great experience with Ray when he came to pick up our old furnitures. He was very professional from start to finish, and handling everything efficiently. He treated our home with respect and made sure the job was done carefully without any hassle.
What I really appreciated was his fair pricing—no hidden fees or surprises, just honest and reasonable rates. Ray was also very respectful and easy to communicate with, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
I highly recommend Ray to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy junk removal services. I would definitely use his service again in the future.

Hired Ray via thumbtack to move a couple of appliances for me. He responded promptly and was very transparent with his rate. Ray was extremely responsive communicated his ETA and was very professional, handling my appliances. He arrive to the location promptly and the delivery was one of the very best experiences I have ever had. He went above and beyond to make sure that my appliance was placed in my upstairs apartment. The entrance to the apartment was a little narrow , which made me a little stressed and he reassured me that he would get the job done. he was patient in maneuvering and making sure he took the extra time to get the job done, while paying attention to detail and ensuring that he did not damage anything . He was extremely professional and a joy to work with. I highly recommend his service and even look forward to rehiring him in the future.
Details: 3-5 items • Other furniture items • 31 - 50 miles • Stairs to load items • Stairs to unload items

I needed to have my old heavy air conditioner taken downstairs and removed from the premises. Ray was cordial and efficient. He was careful about not damaging my stairs and once completed he cleaned up the area of any debris from inside the unit. I was happy with the work he did and would use him again.
