Wonderful!! Dave and his crew worked diligently from the time they arrived to the time he finished. Dave is professional, friendly, and disciplined. He and his 4 person crew gave 100%. They were respectful of the environment around them as they worked. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.
Description of Work: I had two rooms of storage, books, computers, empty boxes, mattresses, stuff, lots of stuff. I had not been in one of these rooms for years. Mice had found a home there, I will admit. It was a big, dirty, back-breaking job, bottom line.

We called two days prior to needing them to pick up the last few items which needed to be hauled away to clean out the house we had sold. We had an old couch in the basement and various items (old boards, tile, old hoses....etc) in the garage. They were scheduled to be at the house at 5pm but they called and said traffic was bad and would be a bit late. That was perfect for us as we needed an extra hour to completely clean out the house. They arrived around 6:15pm and loaded all the items into their truck (including getting the sofa out of the basement) in just a few minutes and we were all set. Very easy to work with and good communication. And the total cost was $200. Very reasonable and cheapest junk hauling I found. Would definitely recommend their service.

It went well. The crew was professional, polite, and followed the building rules of where to park. The price was a bit higher than I got over the phone, but to be fair, it was just based on a description I gave. We didn't have time to get an estimate first.

We are so grateful that Junk Happens took on this challenging project. It went great from beginning to end - over five days of work with several guys doing heavy work. Dave gave us a very fair quote and was extremely responsive throughout the project and We highly recommend Junk Happens and we plan to use them again in the near future.

James, Nick and David from Junk Happens came out on time and assessed the amount of Junk that needed to be removed (1 truck and a half's worth). They went to work and in no time my basement had lost a lot of weight. They were friendly and assured me that my 20 years of accumulated Junk wasn't an issue ...that they'd seen a lot worse. Great job guys..you rock! To the owner of Junk Happens I would advise him to do whatever is necessary to retain these guys as they are great workers. I would definitely use them again and also recommend them to anyone needing their services. Thanks again guys!

Very well. I'd like to thank Amber (front office staff), Nick and Todd (haulers). I made a call to Junk Happens around 4:00 PM on Monday evening & I had a scheduled pickup window two days later, on Wednesday, between 11-1. On the day of the pick up, I received a call stating they were running ahead of schedule and could they come earlier, of course I said.and they arrived 15 minutes after the call.:-) Nick and Todd were punctual, personable and polite. Thank you!

On a Friday I left a message on Junk Happen's website and within 1/2 hour I had an appointment for removal on Monday morning. They showed up right on time, skillfully maneuvered a large hide-a-bed couch out of my condo, onto the elevator, and out the door. They were polite and professional and I was charged the quoted price.

Fantastic experience! The team that came to load up and haul away were so easy to work with. They arrived when they said, and although there was a delay with a third person it did not impact me at all and I was able to return to my work. They were professional and friendly. I had initially hired them for junk haul away but easily added a full sized armoire to the request with a very reasonable increase in cost. The change did not phase them at all. Also, none of what they take goes to the landfill. The customer service was tremendous and I won't hesitate to use them again, and I will be quick to refer them to anyone looking for this service.

Not well. I was quite frustrated. I sent in their online form explaining what I needed. I received a response that they would "get back to me." 4 to 5 days later they still had not contacted me. I contacted them again. The contact person said that the was "up North" and had bad reception, but could email me. Thinking he was perhaps on vacation and wanting to be understanding about that, I said it was OK to talk when he returned, but that I was mostly looking for a timeframe for scheduling the job. After that he informed me that they only take "a small amount" of dirt. This was a bad experience because: 1) I felt mislead by the company's website which makes absolutely no mention of only taking "small amounts" of dirt and gives quite the opposite impression; 2) Poor communication by the company -- it took too long to get a response from them and he could have told me right away that they only took a "small amount of dirt" without the additional back and forth. I was surprised that this company has an "A" rating with Angie's List.
Description of Work: Was trying to have yard waste removed and possibly some other items. Main priority was the yard waste. Junk Happens' website makes it sound like yard waste removal is definitely an area that they cover and that they do all kinds of junk removal projects.

Response from Junk Happens
Hello [Member Name Removed], We apologize for your frustration you experienced with our company. Thank you for your input and we are working on updating our website to let people know the maximum amount of dirt we will take. I'm truly sorry for the delay in the initial response also. That was a big oversight on my part and has awakened me to a process change. We appreciate all customers' feedback even when negative. It helps us to become better and prevents those negative experiences for future customers. I would like to extend a 10% off to you for any future loads if you care to try us in the future, if not that's okay too. I hope your project went well and you have found peace in this situation.

I called the owner, Dave, early in the year and he came out and we went through everything that I wanted to have removed. I was not quite ready at the time to have the work done, but when I called him back several weeks later, he and his crew came out within a couple of days. The first time they were here, the temperature and humidity were terrible, and even though they spent part of the day working in the hot garage, they never complained, They actually were here 4 times in all, and the outside work was extremely dirty, and again on a very hot, humid day. Eric, Nick, Joe, Mario, and Dave were all wonderful to work with. There was never a complaint, no matter what the conditions. They worked hard the whole time they were here, and were all so positive.
Description of Work: I had 44 years worth of accumulated stuff removed from three separate areas.
