Called on Monday and asked for a time they could come and give an estimate. John suggested 10:00 AM Wednesday, and indicated that he'd send a truck so if the estimate was acceptable, they'd take care of everything right then. They met me at the storage unit promptly at 10:00, provided what I thought was a decent estimate for the amount of stuff accumulated over the last 8 years, and then proceeded to empty the unit. It all went as I would have hoped, the price was decent, the haulers professional and I would recommend this local company to anyone looking for junk removal.
Description of Work: Removed 8 years of junk accumulation from a large storage unit.

Everything you would hope - happy people happy to help out. Fast and professional
Description of Work: They removed an old kitchen cabinet from the wall in my garage as well as carried out a large set of shelves with counter. No fuss. They were happy to take the cabinet down - something that would have been hard for me to do.

Overall, my experience with them went very well. They are very responsive, punctual, and they provide a very reliable service. One advantage of their service is that they recycle or donate items, so they are a 'green' company. Also, they are nonjudgmental and willing to remove a wide range of cumbersome items.
Description of Work: They helped me remove a lamp, two large desks, and a very heavy, large couch from my home.

They made it happen. Upcharged a little for the difficulty, but I get it. It was rough. They couldn't use the dolly, they had to slide the stuff up the stairs and around a corner. Just awful. But I got a discount for using Angie's list, so the total was as-expected! And they were so professional and up-beat and they wore uniforms, which looked great. It was really great for a junk hauling experience. They are so personable and clean!
Description of Work: Hauled away difficult to get at appliances in awkward basement space.

I called to schedule an estimate, and John and Jim (owners & brothers) came out the next morning right on time. They estimated the job, which was loading/hauling old pavers, bricks, and concrete slabs from some landscaping demo. Concrete is difficult to dispose of (not everywhere will take it and it costs $$ to dump). John & Jim came up with a solution to load it on the truck quickly (I don't own a wheel barrow), which entailed driving their truck into my alley, and tossing the bricks and concrete into the truck. Super solution and also brought the original estimate down a bit. They performed the work the same morning as the estimate. Very nice, helpful, and professional guys, and I highly recommend them.

Called yesterday and they were here today. They were both very pleasant and very hard workers, taking out big old heavy window air-conditioners, old picnic table, big old dining rm table, box springs and mattresses, old lawn mowers and snow blower, old vacuum cleaners, old bed frames, huge old stereo speakers, and oodles of other 'stuff'....2 truck loads!!...and took boxes of magazines for recycling. Update 10/19/10: Had 4 guys this time and, as previously, great workers and very pleasant and professional. And, forgot to mention the first time, but got Angie's List discount both times. This is a great service! Update 3/4/11 Called the guys again to remove a HUGE old big screen TV. They came within hrs and had it out. Can you tell? I love this service.
Description of Work: Clean out basement and garage...after lifetime accumulation!! Update 10/19/10: We had additional items removed from the basement including old furniture pieces and other odds and ends--more things that we decided to get rid of after the guys were here on the 14th. Then, off to the 3rd floor storage area. Here it was old cribs, mattresses, buggy, baby swings, old electric typewriter, desk top computer and other misc pieces of furniture, etc, etc.

I called and scheduled and appointment to clear out the remaining items from my dad's townhome after he sold it. John and Chris showed up right on time and quickly started loading the truck with the various items that needed to be removed. They took many of the larger items out the back door and around the house rather than up the stairs to prevent possible damage to the walls. The grass was still damp, but they made sure not to track anything into the house. The job was done in less than an hour and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely use them again.

We had a great experience. I called them on 9/21 and they responded quickly and came out on 9/22. We had a fireplace insert (200 pounds) that we needed removed and hauled away. They were extremely neat, laid down carpet coverings so as not to dirty our light colored carpet, and methodically removed sections of the insert until it got light enough so that they could carry it out. No fuss, no mess, extremely professional. We were very pleased with their service and would recommend them to anyone.

My husband submitted a request for an estimate at 8PM on Wednesday evening. We immediately received an appointment for an estimate the next day between 12-2. At 1:00 on Thursday John showed up, sized up my job in about 15 seconds and gave me a very reasonable quote - right at the amount I had guesttimated as a worthwhile fee. I accepted, he pulled his truck around, loaded it up and was gone by 1:20.
Description of Work: Junk Happens removed a pile of old storm windows and doors and miscellaneous wood items from a pile in the garage. They loaded everything into their truck and hauled it away to the Minneapolis dump where it will burned.

The day before my house needed to be emptied and readied for carpet cleaners and new owners, my son and I realized that we could not accomplish the task by ourselves. JunkHappens was available on very short notice. John arrived at 8:30 A.M. the next day and assessed the situation. He then spent all day with the help of 1-2 assistants going up and down stairs carrying items as we sorted and directed. A number of heavy items that were being kept were moved to their new locations. Old concrete double laundry tubs were broken up and removed. The working conditions were less than ideal, but everyone remained pleasant, considerate, and helpful. We could not have asked for a better company or crew. If I ever needed this kind of service again, Junk Happens would be my first choice.
Description of Work: Helped remove 47 years worth of accumulation from full attic, basement, and garage. Required 4 truckloads and 1-3 workers. Transported to dump, recycling center, and donation site.

An excellent experience all around. I made a reservation online to get a $10 discount, picked a day and a time span, and Junk Happens showed up when I requested. Jim gave me what turned out to be a very accurate estimate of how much of his truck my junk would fill and what additional charges there would be (for an air conditioner, etc.,--all these extras are listed on their website). All was fine with me, so I said go ahead. Jim and his assistant were efficient, clean, very professional, and just plain likable! It was a rainy day, and the Junk Happens truck wouldn't fit in my narrow driveway, but they trekked numerous times from garage to truck in good spirits. They even gave me a discount for using my little red wagon to haul concrete pieces. They took care when removing furniture from my house not to bring in mud or damage woodwork, and checked in with me frequently about what was and wasn't junk while clearing the garage. I found the price very reasonable, for what turned out to be almost a full load--as estimated. I would recommend Junk Happens without reservations to anyone with stuff/trash/junk to get rid of.
Description of Work: Removed furniture from house, iron and wood garden bench from yard, and large pile of wood, concrete, and metal debris, appliances, plastic chairs and table, etc., from garage.

I found this company on ServiceMagic.com. He responded right away. His quote was one of the lowest estimates I had received so far. A phone estimate is difficult because the cost is based on how much space you occupy on the truck. Also John told me I did not have to move one item and that he would carry the items from the basement to the truck. It was my initial phone interaction with John that helped me make the decision not to call any other company. When he arrived, he introduced himself, gave me an estimate and began working. He and Steve transferred a treadmill from the basement to the garage and took a treadmill from the garage to the basement. They did not haggle about the added work. As a matter-of-fact they thought it was no big deal. They were very patient while I open a couple of boxes to make certain they were items that I wanted to throw away. I want this company to do more business because we need more service people like John Hengen. A job well done at a reasonable price. Thanks John and Steve. Meryl Speed Oh by the way this guy showed up with a great attitude. He wanted the job and he appreciated my business.
