I purchased a big deal from Angie's List and their services turned out very good. They are one of the reasons that I came to Angie's List to find out places like them. What I liked about them is that they did the job, they were on time and quick. One kid, I brought him in to see something in the backyard and I had him go across the carpet with his shoes on with the mud on, which he should have removed. It would not have happened if I had taken him around the back instead of through the hall to see the chairs. Other than that they were very good.

Junk King arrived on time, did exactly what they said they would do and were friendly and courteous while doing it. The price was fair, it increased becaue of the amount of junk they hauled away. I would definitely recommend this service and would use them again.

they showed up as promised and picked up what they said would be covered by the price i paid. while i do not slam them for doing anything wrong, i was frankly expecting more stuff to be hauled off! so personally, i find them quite expensive, even though, yes, they bring the container (truck) and manpower to haul the stuff away.

They were very responsive, called to confirm the appointment, came early and took away all we needed for the low end of the estimated price range. They even helped remove a troublesome built in with no fuss. They were both very polite and courteous and careful in the place not to disturb anything. Overall they were excellent.
Description of Work: The provider removed 4 appliances.

Response from Junk King Albany
Hello Sir. You actually didn't send your request via Email. Since receiving your review I investigated and found that you sent Junk King a question via Angie's List message center. Angie's list is a great review service but it is a horrible Email server. After you posted your question using the message center here is the exact text I received from Angie's List via Email: "Dear Junk King - Albany, One of your services has just been purchased. You must respond within 2 business days through the Message Center to schedule services. LAST CHANCE: $99 for Junk Hauling and Removal From: [NAME WITHHELD] Order Number: [WITHHELD] Ordered On: November 21, 2013 ". So it is absolutely correct that I did not answer your question by Email in a timely manner. Angie's list sent me an email simply stating that you had bought a big deal and I needed to schedule your service - but did not send me your question by Email. I apologize that we hadn't answered it. I do know we performed the service and picked up your electronics already. Junk King is Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) certified E-waste consolidation center. So not only do we take your electronics but we are GREEN and recycle any electronics by the highest standards in NY State. I caution any Angie's List member who reads this post to not rely on a third party to schedule your services with any vendor. Contact that vendor directly. We've had some additional problems with the message center which caused frustration for my customers as well as my business. Yours truly, Todd Porter Junk King

Originally we called about removal of the clutter. However on their first visit they discovered we had an infestation of carpet beetles. Because they can spread to other places they advised me that they would need to come back and suit up and they did. They worked in a timely fashion and removed everything making sure to wrap anything in plastic that required such treatment. I was pleased with the speed with which they were able to empty the room. While they were not exterminators they did spray the room as they went along. While the job was a lot pricier than I expected it had to be done and the service they delivered merited the cost. I would highly recommend their service because of the quality and professionalism while being pleasant and courteous to me and my family.
Description of Work: They cleaned out a spare room, removing all kinds of clutter.

I signed up for the big deal for $111.00 and ended up paying $305.40. The woman on the phone said its possible it may come to a little more providing what was there. That was alright with me, but not so much. They didn't give me an estimate. Just got to work. They made me feel very rushed. Before I called them I had had a couple of estimates and the highest was $200.00

Response from Junk King Albany
I am the business owner and went to [member name removed] personally. I personally described the price before we did any work. [member name removed] purchased a big deal which was for a specific volume - 1/6 of a truck which is exactly 3 cubic yards of material. The deal is not unlimited Junk Hauling for $111. When I saw the approximately 11 cubic yards of material she wanted to haul I explained to her that she would have to pay additional money and quantified it exactly. She was satisfied and approved the work. Then while we were loading her two car garage full of junk into the truck, [member name removed] daughter went and added significant amounts of additional materials to the piles previously negotiated. I pointed this out to [member name removed] and explained that if she and her daughter keep on adding to the pile after we negotiated a price then the price will have to go up. I quantified it exactly, an additional $50 if you want me to take the added materials. [member name removed] said "it has to go anyway and it's just another $50". After our transaction was complete, [member name removed] suffered buyers remorse. While I sat at the kitchen table with her she explained that she wasn't happy with the price but was happy with the level of service we provided and our professionalism. Now more than three months after we provided the service - she doesn't recall being given a price prior to approving of the work performed. As the business owner I don't go to every job or estimate, but Junk King certainly has business policies. We come to each appointment with a rate sheet and agree on a price before providing a service. My employees are uniformed and provide fair and honest pricing to all customers. Since we don't accept payment until after our job is complete, it would be a complete mistake for our customers to not know the price for our services. Think of it - if our customers did not know what they were responsible to pay before we started work we would do the work and then the customer may be short on funds - which means we would work for free. Junk King provides free, no obligation estimates. We don't expect a customer to look at their garage and be able to say that their junk is 5.75 cubic yards of materials. My employees are highly trained to accurately estimate volume and provide that information to our customers. I welcome [member name removed] to contact me directly to discuss her experience further. Todd Porter President Junk King

It was fine. They responded very quickly. They were there when they said they were going to be there. One of the things that I like was they charged by how much space it take up on the truck rather by time. I didn’t feel uncomfortable in terms of spending time talking about stuff. They were flexible because once you start looking through junk, you’ll find more things that you want to clean out. We went beyond what we originally paid for but they had space in the truck and adjusted the price reasonably to take the additional things. We had some extremely heavy objects and they got the guys together and hold it out. So with heavy or unwieldy items, it was no problem with them. So we felt good having a cleaner space when they were gone. There was something that we had hoped could be reused and it was broken. So they took it out and it couldn’t be reused. I don’t know if it could have been reused or they just determined that nobody would take it. I would use them again. One of the nice things is that they took stuff that you can’t get rid of easily. Certainly, with the Big Deal that we got, it was cheaper than anything else that we would have got in regular price on. They weren’t grumpy about the job they did.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal coupon from Junk King – Albany for hauling services.

We have used Junk King (Ravena, NY) twice now and both times we have been impressed with their service. They are prompt, courteous, and their price was reasonable. They make a difficult job SO much easier (we did a complete home clean out). It is REALLY good to know that a large percentage of what they pick up is recycled/donated. I also appreciated the patience when I called several times prior to our appointment with various questions. Would most definitely use them again, as well as recommend them. Bravo guys!!!

I am please with the service and would use them again. It was very easy to arrange an appointment on line and the owner also called. They were running late on the day of the appointment because some jobs ran over. But they kept me informed and we worked together to make it happen. They were very efficient when they got here and did a great job!

Overall, they did a great job, and were very responsive and helpful. The only problem pertained to scheduling the work. We used an Angie's List coupon, which required us to work with Angie's List for scheduling. Unfortunately, they did not forward our preferred dates/times to Junk King on a timely basis, which resulted a a delay of a couple of days. Certainly not Junk King's fault and no big deal.
