Mitchell and Jonathan did the pick up at our house, they were so friendly, courteous and helpful. They even brought up our garbage cans to the side yard. Should I need to use the services of a hauling company, I would definetly use this group. Job well done.

They were prompt, professional, met me outside secure gate of storage complex and followed me in. The cost was about half of what I had paid another company last time I needed things removed from home. Actually it was cheaper than what I thought it would be based on their website.
Description of Work: A storage locker had to have items removed. There was one to be recycled, the rest was junk.

They arrived on time and I appreciated that they placed a reminder phone call two days ahead of time. The gentleman were polite, happy (too happy?), and efficient. This is my second time using them. Last time I followed a link from either Salvation Army or Goodwill and missed the fact that there would be a fee. This time I noted and appreciated the fact that the phone operator specifically stated that there would be a fee within a certain range. My only fear/hope is that the materials will be donated and not just trashed.
Description of Work: We had a large old style tv (32") that needed recycling. I took advantage of this visit to dispose of clothing, suitcases, electronics, games, and notebooks.

It went very well. Roger and Jose arrived on time, were very professional and were able to move the 36 inch TV weighing 220 lbs. from the second floor to the first. I would use them again.

I scheduled a 1-3pm appointment window online. Emmanuel and Rodger called 20 minutes before their arrival to let me know they were on their way. They introduced themselves and told me which college they were attending. We did a walk thru, in my garage, in my backyard, in my house, where I identified everything that needed to be hauled. They gave me an estimate which agreed with what I was expecting to pay. They then went to work, which included disassembling a twin bed, moving a heavy book case and dresser, several bags of donated clothing, and lots of recyclable junk. When they were done, they swept up any dust or debris that fell off of the furniture. We settled up and they gave me a business card, in case I wanted to speak to the franchise owner, and a 10% discount if I hired them again as a repeat customer. Everything went smoothly.

iI had 8-10 pieces of furniture to donate to Goodwill, and a garage full of things I no longer wanted and some construction debris from other jobs. Goodwill rec'd the company, and I checked their rating here and on Yelp. I read their straight-forward and easy to use website to book an appointment for an estimate on the day/time of my choosing (3 days later, Saturday btwn 1 and 3 pm). When booking my estimate/appointment, I clearly stated I wanted them to take the furniture on Saturday, and an estimate ONLY on clearing out the garage. The team (Max, Mike and Rodger) phoned me shortly after my appt window began this afternoon, and arrived in the driveway within 15 minutes. They were professional, courteous, well-dressed, strong, and ready to WORK. Max went through an overview of the company and their service, took a look at my volume of items, and gave a reasonable estimate. Mike and Rodger waited professionally while we went thru this process. The cost was based on how much room my stuff took up in the truck, and Max promised the estimate would be reduced if I didn't need so much space in the truck. Max also offered to handle everything -- both the furniture and the garage junk -- this afternoon in one visit, instead of asking me to make a new appointment for the add'l work. I accepted the estimate for the whole operation, and the work began. I did not feel under any pressure to accept the estimate, and believe they would have left quickly if I had declined or said I wanted to get other bids. As soon as Max and I finished the paperwork, the three men dove in. In less than 2 hours they went through a VERY full two-car garage, helped me sort what I wanted to keep vs. what was ready to go, and were incredibly efficient, productive, professional, and even funny. (Sorting thru junk is not something I normally consider 'fun' on a Saturday afternoon, but they seemed to enjoy their work and got along with each other and with me very well.) It was quickly apparent that they would need a 2nd truck to haul away all of my stuff, and the truck arrived before it was even needed!! There was no way the company could have known in advance that I would need so much space -- when booking the estimate/appointment I said I wanted the furniture removed and an estimate ONLY on the garage debris -- and I was very impressed they could handle this problem in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. Once the garage was empty the men carefully swept up the garage and carport, and helped me put some items I chose to keep back into the garage. At the end of the job Max was very pleased to tell me my junk took up significantly less space than he had anticipated, and reduced the estimate by 1/3. The deal was AWESOME. I highly recommend College Hunks, particularly Max, Mike and Rodger, will use them again in the future, and rec'd them to friends and family.
Description of Work: I had 8-10 pieces of servicable furniture to donate to Goodwill, and a garage full of construction materials from past jobs, and items I no longer needed. Goodwill, Yelp, and Angie's List all rec'd this company, so I went with it. Easily made my appt for the day/time I wanted (Saturday, 1-3 pm) on their straight-forward website. The team (Max, Mike and Rodger) called shortly after my appt time began, and arrived within 15 minutes. In less than 2 hours they had emptied out my carport and most of the garage, which required getting a 2nd truck to hold all of the stuff. The 2nd truck was in place before it was needed. At the end they substantially reduced the estimate b/c they were able to cram more stuff into their trucks than expected. Then they swept out the carport and garage, and helped me move the few items I wanted to keep back into the now clean garage. Professional, prompt, courteous, hard-working, honest, straight-forward. Will use again, and rec'd to others.

I gave a B on price, but maybe I am not up on the current cost of things. I also was not pressured to accept the bid. This certainly is an excellent service that helps out college students. Emmanuel and Max were punctual, friendly and professional. They move several pieces of furniture and a large area rug. I would use them again.
Description of Work: Picked up furniture and a rug.

I had accessed the Goodwill web site to find out if they would do pickup as I had a 20+ bags of clothing and toys. Goodwill referenced these folks so I thought I would try them out. I had also cross referenced them on Angies but somehow their name did not show up. The website and online registration was clever and easy. However, when I got to the end I thought, "Wait, How do I pay these people?" There had been no mention of pricing, credit card or cash etc. I used the chat online service to ask about it. The online service rep said that I could move my cursor over some icon and a price would show up (?). Given that I had already made the appointment and closed the deal, I figured I would face it later. As it turned out i did have to change the appointment time. Someone answered the phone promptly and the change was easy. On the day of pick, two polite, happy, fresh-faced youths showed up. We all agreed that the my material was suitable for donation not trash. They said that they would not only be taking it to Goodwill but some of it would be going to other places as well. That was a little surprising but I was ok with it. What was surprising was that I had to listen to a mini-presentation of why this company was good, how much they recycle and why they are so much better than their competitors. It was only then they told me the price for picking up my materials. I honestly cannot tell you if it was a good price. I paid because I wanted to be done with the cleanup. However, finding out how much money is owed at this end of the visit is wrong. I should have had a ball park figure prior to their arrival. The youths tried to explain to me that since the website is national, they can not post a single price for the US. Well, the website did ask me for my zipcode so it should also be able to tell me approximate pricing. i did receive a $15 discount because I found them through the Goodwill website. I cannot fault the two youths. They did everything they were trained to do. For example, while one was processing the paperwork, the other swept out the garage where the material was stored. It was a nice touch.
Description of Work: The provider picked up household goods mostly clothing for donation.
