Big Jim and his team were amazing to work with. From his office staff, to his working team to Big Jim himself, all were super communicative, professional and did outstanding work. We had Jim and Team remove an old, rusty fence along our property line. It was a large job but they did the removal and clean up very quickly/efficiently and left our property in great shape. Everything was cleaned up and we were super happy with the results. The team even took special care not to trample our grass and shrubs while they removed the fence. Last but certainly not least, Jim was super pleasant to work with and offered a very fair price for the work they did. I will be recommending Big Jim's Clean Ups to my friends and neighbors and hope to work with them again.

I couldn't be happier. Big Jim and his guys were fantastic! All my yucky stuff was removed in less than 2 hours. I, previously, rented a Dumpster and filled it myself .... backbreaking work. Big Jim's group loaded "a ton" of stuff into their trucks in record time. I paid less for Big Jim's service than I did for the Dumpster alone ... and they did all the work for me! I couldn't be happier. These guys are great, courteous and efficient and neat. Jim is super and so is Administrative Assistant, Susan. Never order a Dumpster again. Just call Susan and Jim and away go your troubles. Highly, highly recommend them. I have another attic to empty and I will call them again soon. The best!

They reached out to me quoted me a price and did it the next day. No problems no hassles. They told me what they were going to do and did it. To me it was the definition of quality work. Would absolutely recommend them.

I cannot say enough great things about Jim and his guys. Everything went as smoothly as I could have hoped for. Jim and the guys handled everything and were very polite, respectful and communicative throughout the process. Everything was neatly removed and they even broom swept after. I highly recommend using them, and I will certainly be using his services again.

Jim was prompt in showing up and giving me an estimate. His price was very reasonable. He and his crew showed up at the assigned time and removed all the junk stored in the garage. They swept out the garage too. Jim was friendly and professional through the job. I will definitely use him again.

Big Jim gave a ball park estimate the week before. He came in very close due to extra work that needed to be done. Professional, friendly and very thorough. His team were all friendly and worked consistently throughout the day. Left every room clean and neat. Protected the house while carrying out a lot of material. He responded to all my requests and kept his word on a quality job. I recommend him with my highest rating. Jim Mc. I

Jim came onsite for a quick quote, and was able to haul away within a couple hours. Perfect haul away in a tight space and swept the garage before leaving -- surgical precision junk removal!
Description of Work: We had a bunch of left over junk in our garage from our move from Ohio to New Jersey. Some stuff left from the old homeowner, some stuff we didn't need anymore.

I cannot say enough great things about Jim and his crew, From the prompt and reasonable estimate to the day of demo, everything went as smoothly as I could have hoped! Jim and the guys handled everything and were lovely, polite, respectful and communicative throughout the process. Everything was properly demo'ed, neatly removed and they even broom swept after. If you need demo/removal services, Big Jim is your guy! I will definitely use his services again.

It was easy to schedule a convenient estimate as Jim responded right away to my call. During the estimate, Jim was attentive and very helpful with advice. He didn't ask for a deposit before the work began, and the estimate and final cost was reasonably priced. He called ahead as promised before their prompt arrival to begin work. When he and his team arrived, he walked them through all that needed to be done exactly as I had requested. My husband and I were amazed at how fast and well they got this job done. They not only completed everything so skillfully, but also cleaned up so immaculately when finished! Care was taken not to scrape or scratch walls or hardwood floors, without my mention of it. These men are true professionals and have a very pleasant and respectful demeanor. By the time they were finished, they felt almost like family because they were sensitive to the type of situation this was. I highly recommend this company's services.
Description of Work: I had a HUGE job, a cleanout of an entire house including basement, garage, and carpet removal after my mom passed away. Heavy, bulky furniture and tons of stuff in the basement and garage.

Jim and his guys were Fabulous. They handled all the heavy lifting - I just pointed out what needed to go - and presto - it was gone - including carrying very heavy items from the very back of my yard. Entire job was done quickly and very carefully. Absolutely no damage to anything outside or inside. Filled 2 truck loads. Spoke to Jim on Wednesday - job was done on Friday. And for the amount of junk - again 2 truck loads - that Jim and his guys carried out and hand loaded to their trucks from my house, backyard, from my attic - the price was very fair and reasonable. Highly highly recommend Big Jim.
Description of Work: We had lots of junk we needed to have hauled away - outside yard junk including large pieces of wood, concrete statues, and breaking down an old wood shed and old wood very large planting table. Also a bunch of in-house items including old furniture, old appliances. Also lots of junk from my attic, old bowling balls, house siding, a long list. Plus two extremely large wooden crates.

Big Jim's responded immediately and made it clear to me that they were willing to work with me budget and time wise. They came the next day on time and took care of the job quickly, cleanly and efficiently. I would certainly use Big Jim's Clean-ups again and would have no problem referring them to friends and family.

I needed some old things removed from my apartment before I could move out. I talked to Jim on the phone a week earlier to get a free quote and to set a date for him and his workers to come. They were punctual and everything was done professionally. My apartment is on the second floor with stairs, but the items were out the door in no time and with no marks left on the walls. Great job!

I spoke to him twice but he never called back even though he told me to leave my number on his business phone. He mentioned he was busy, but if he couldn't do the work he should have just said so. Luckily another service came to the rescue and picked up my items within 2 days. Too bad Jim, they filled a truck and you missed out.

Jim was great, very professional and nice. He came on time and called to let me know he was on the way. I did not have a big job but the furniture was very heavy. His staff, 4 guys arrived with truck and they removed heavy pieces of furniture from 2nd floor and hauled it away for me. They also moved a dresser for me into another room. They were professional and careful not to bang walls going down the stairs. I am very pleased and would call him again.

Jim and his workers came promptly after my call for an estimate (the next day), and to my delight, were able to move the junk that very day. Even though I was not prepared for them to begin immediately, they asssured me they could. They carefully removed all pictures and collectibles from the piano and removed the big, awkward piece of furniture without damaging anything. They then completed the job by removing everything that I have listed. They then went to the basement to get an old couch I had forgotten to mention. JIM AND HIS CREW ARE SIMPLY THE BEST!

Jim and his crew turned up at the agreed time and set to work completing the work quickly and efficiently. Jim is extremely personable and he and his crew were friendly and helpful throughout the course of the job. The price was fair, the work was completed to a high standard and the garage and driveway were left swept clean just as Jim described. All in all, a pleasurable experience and I would defnitely use Jim and his team again.
Description of Work: We recently purchased a house with a detached garage that had been used as an office but had fallen into disrepair. There was mold and animals had been living in the insulation. We hired Jim and his crew to completely gut the interior of the garage including removing sheetrock, insulation and shelving.
