Dan assured me that those items that could be recycled would be. I have used dumpsters in the past. Dan's price was comparable to that of a dumpster service without the requirement of me doing the heavy lifting.
Description of Work: Dan removed big and small items from my basement, family room and garage.

Dan arrived to my condo and immediately introduced himself and provided me with his business card. Overall a very pleasant individual. He was shown the shed and provided me the total cost for the job which was exactly what he quoted me on the phone. The two gentle men began working immediately. They disassembled the shed very quickly along with the plywood floor as I requested. They left the area clean and free of nails and screws. Overall my experience with Dan's Dump Runs was fantastic and I would recommend them to family, friends, and strangers.
Description of Work: Dan and his assistant disassembled a metal shed and removed the ply wood flooring. They also removed an old piece of counter top and a rusty bike both stored near the shed. They hauled away the scrap metal. Dan also informed me that the dis-guarded counter top would be donated to Habitat for Humanity which I thought was great that it could be reused by those in need.

Dan came to my home and gave an estimate. We agreed upon a price and set a date for service, Dan and his crew arrived as planned, and worked throughout the day and evening.
Description of Work: Our basement and porch was hoarders squared. Dan and his crew got the job done in just one day. They left the place spotless. Both Dan and his crew members were very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend Dan to any of my family and friends.

It was great! We called and the came and checked everything out. Once they had an idea of what needed to be removed they quoted a very fair price and then went to work. In less than 30 minutes they got rid of stuff that old have taken us hours to get rid of. Once they finished they thanked us and were on their way. Very professional!
Description of Work: They did a great job! We called them in the morning and they were there by early afternoon. In addition to quickly removing the items we requested they went the extra mile and swept out our garage for us. We will be calling them again!

Dan and his helper cleared junk out of my basement, filling a pick up truck plus a small trailer. There were also items we had brought out from the eaves for them to take away. They were very professional, courteous and reasonable and I am having them back in the spring to clean out my garage. I would recomment them highly. They also clean gutters and provide other services as well.
Description of Work: Very happy with the services performed.

Dan is very professional. He came in, did a walk through of the areas and provided us with an estimate and scheduled the time to complete the job. He was punctual and prepared to go to work. Dan is also very personable and has a quiet sense of humor that made working with him a pleasure. Both my sister and I will be using Dan t o help us clean out the clutter in our homes. We highly recommend Dan. You won't be disappointed.
Description of Work: Dan and his assistant cleaned out our mother's basement and garage. He also vacuumed /swept both areas to remove rodent droppings in preparation for an exterminator to come in.

Dan's Dump Runs did an awesome and very meticulous job clearing out my basement, and worked quite quickly (and cheerfully!). Dan was very engaging and extremely professional, and even gave me some advice on things I should do for other areas in the basement that were storm damaged. Overall it took a day and a half, which was faster than he originally estimated (and I was totally amazed they completed it that fast). The job was fairly expensive, but so worth it. I will use Dan's Dump Runs for any future clean-up work!
Description of Work: Dan came and scoped out the work, gave me a fixed price quote, then scheduled the work for about a week later. and crew cleared out and hauled away a ton of debris from my crawlspace basement, much of which was deposited there during Storm Sandy. It was a really huge, dirty, backbreaking job because you can barely stand up down there, with spaces that are barely accessible. They basically had to shovel the huge amount of gunk and debris into many trashcans, and make several trips to the dump. They even vacuumed several areas that couldn't be shoveled or raked.

I contracted with Dan to remove debris and old items like screen doors. He came by one day exactly when he said he would, gave me a price that i agreed to, which I considered to be fair, and we set a date that the work would be done. He arrived on schedule and completed the work in a professional manner. His work was excellent and I intend to use his services again.

Dan was very courteous and professional. He provided an accurate estimate, walking me through the house to describe what would be done. The end result was amazing. Not only does the company do the hauling, but they vacuum afterwards as well.
Description of Work: Great job! I hired Dan's Dump Runs to clean out my mother's house (garage, basement and items in living area that she no longer needed after moving). Dan was very courteous and professional.

Dan came to my house, went through the areas that needed cleaning. He went over each area asking what would stay and what would go. When we were done, he gave me a price. I agreed to the price and he set the date. He and his crew arrived on the set date and time and began working right away. Dan and his crew worked from sun-up til sun-down. Since it was a large job, Dan and his crew returned the following day to finish. He did not accept one penny of payment until the job was finished and I was happy. I would not hesitate to use Dan's Dump Runs again.
Description of Work: At the present time, I am selling my home. The attic, basement & garage needed to be cleaned out. Due to medical complications, and the size of the job, I knew I could not do it myself.

Very well. He arrived earlier than expected, but then told me the plan for the day. ( I will remember next time to call me the night before if he's going to be early. I'd hate for him to wait for me if I was out doing chores.) Clean up was complete. Real professional.
Description of Work: Hauled away a very large 13 ft pile of brush, branches and a number of large logs.

We called Dan a couple of weeks ago. He returned our call in an hour or so and came out the next day to give us an estimate on the work. He was prompt, professional and friendly. We agreed on the price and set a date for last week. We were called out of town for a family matter and needed to postpone the work. We called Dan a few days before the work was scheduled and he was very accommodating about changing the date of the work. This morning he called when he realized he was going to be 15 late. He arrived and the time he said he would and he and his associate did the work quickly and professionally. We added a couple of items to the original list of things to be taken to the dump and they were happy to take them for a very modest increase in the original price. Dan and his helper took the items that were to go to the church there and put them where they were to go. They then took the remainder of the things to the dump. It was a pleasant experience to work with Dan and we have already made plans to use his services to help move some furniture into our newly repurposed room. I would certainly recommend Dan without any reservation.
Description of Work: Dan and his associate hauled an old (and disgusting) sofa, two dressers, a box spring and two mattresses (one rather disgusting), an old (and huge) microwave and microwave cart, an old TV, an old computer monitor, an old model train platform, and a few other pieces out of our home. Some from a second floor room we are about to repurpose and some from the basement where is was stored. A few of the pieces were then delivered to our church for an upcoming tag sale and the rest was taken to the dump.

From initial contact to finished job, Dan was professional, efficient, and courteous.
Description of Work: Dan and his crew completely emptied our messy garage and storage shed and reorganized them. They were on time, friendly, and efficient. With broad guidelines from me, Dan used his judgment to sort through the mess and dispose of or keep items. He was especially thoughtful about rearranging our belongings into an orderly, functional space. Great job!

I cannot recommend this man more highly. He and his crew were efficient, professional, responsible and thorough. I have never employed anyone who worked as hard or as well as Dan and his employees, and he did not flinch if/when I asked him to do something we had not discussed. Moreover, he was helpful and knowledgeable when confronting problems that had not been anticipated. No question goes unresolved when he's around. I could not have done a better job myself, and it would have taken my a month to do it. It took Dan 2-1/2 days. He took on a thankless task and so far exceeded our expectations that we're looking for another job for him to tackle. I consider it a privilege to have found him and would recommend him anytime, anywhere to anyone. We needed someone extraordinary to take on a difficult -- if not impossible -- job, and Dan was that man.
Description of Work: Hauled away boxes, trash, old furniture, outdated equipment, you name it, from late father's estate. Cleaned out several large out buildings from top to bottom, requiring numerous runs to waste removal and toxic waste centers. Job took two and a half days of backbreaking work, with Dan and workers starting at 6:30 AM and not stopping until 6 that afternoon.

I got through to him on my second call and he came out that day and estimated my job and performed it 2 days later. Very efficient.
Description of Work: Since Dan got the most and best reviews, he was the first and only person I called. It might have been a good idea for me to get another quote, but I was anxious to get it done. That said, I had only yard waste -- branches and in bags -- enough to fill the bed of a pickup truck. $170 seemed a trifle steep to me, but I wanted to minimize the hassle, and certainly Mr. Falkenstein did that. Good job.
