About us

Agape Service Co was established in 1982 by Richard Smith. A proud Ohio State grad and native central Ohioan, Richard was no stranger to hard work. He was determined to build a hauling co that provided friendly and dependable service. The agape motto was born. "Once a job has begun, do not finish until it's done, be that job large or small, do it well or not at all!" People in the neighborhood and community would call agape for anything that involved strong backs and a truck. Word quickly spread about agape's friendly and dependable service. A community business was born. Agape today. Today Agape Service Co is recognized in central Ohio for providing quick on time, professional service. Agape Service Co is recognized by Angie's list and has received the super service award eleven years in a row. While a lot has changed since 1982 agape will always stay true by providing friendly, knowledgeable and trust worthy service. The future of agape. As the commercial and residential hauling industry continues to grow, agape service company will continue to lead the industry in service and responsible recycling. The best is yet to come. Award winning.

I can not say enough how grateful I am for the patience and professionalism displayed by this company. First they went over and beyond by picking up a patio set I purchased and waited at least 30 minutes before it was brought up by the store to be loaded. Then they drove back to my house, uppacked it and hauled away all the packaging as well as a few more items I had to haul away. This is a great company and I am extremely happy. Thank you!

I have used Agape once before to clean out the basement of a rental property I own in German Village after renters moved out. I had a great experience. This time we needed tree limbs and shrubbery that we had cut down to be removed from the back yard. I called Agape, arranged a time to meet (although they ran 20-30 minutes later than appt time). He gave a reasonable estimate and did the work right then. His crew is always courteous and does a great job. I will use them again.

I recently moved into a new house and tore out old carpet and a huge bar, ceiling fans, lights, etc. I called Agape late afternoon Friday and inquired about their hauling service and told them I would be available "anytime" to have an estimate and have the items hauled away. They said "does that include today?" Wow, I'm used to at least a 3 or 4 day lead time so promptness was an A+++. We settled on Monday and just like the other reviews state, two men arrived on time in the freezing cold on Monday and loaded everything up before I finished the conference call I was on. They even swept the space when finished and were on their way. Great service, great price, that simple.

Wonderfully AMAZING! Richard was MORE than responsive and flexible with my situation of being indefinite regarding the pick up date. He never became frustrated remaining in limbo, what was probably nearly 2 weeks from initial contact to actual pick up. He worked with my schedule and ALWAYS was willing no matter the day/ time, until I was finally able to complete the pick up. I was glad to know that good, functional items are used in His Outreach program of Agape, as well. Richard & Nancy Smith and Anthony made this clean out a a GREAT EXPERIENCE ! I will use them again as well as sing their praises through this format as well as personally.
Description of Work: Richard and Anthony, hauled 2 old couches( 1 extremely heavy), chair, table and chairs, multiple other items up from our basement. Additionally from our first floor they removed 2 TV's chair & ottoman, and from the garage an old lawn mower, TV, TV stand and other junk items. From arrival to departure, it was an efficient, polite experience , all in under 1 hours time. Nancy Smith was very helpful and pleasant in our phone conversations as well. When I listed the items/work over the phone Richard quoted me a price of $175. Truthfully, I think when he arrived he was a bit surprised by the volume of items to pick up. But being the OUTSTANDING gentleman that he is, he still charged me his quoted rate of $175 for which I paid them $ 200, out of sheer gratitude for their Genuine Service.

We called on a Friday afternoon to get an estimate for a Saturday pickup. We were given a very fair estimate. We had 10-15 bags of old plaster, several bundles of old lathe, and misc. materials. The team of 3 men arrived right on time and quickly loaded all of the materials onto their pickup truck. We were charged no more than the quote.
Description of Work: We had a courtyard semi-full of old construction materials hauled away.

We had about a 1/4 of a garage filled with misc stuff from an estate house we were cleaning out to sell. They removed everything we had piled in the garage as well as a very large amount of yard waste. They never hesitated about taking everything we asked them to take. The traveled to Newark w/o any hesitation and provided a very large truck to accommodate it all into one truck load. They cleaned up after they filled the truck. the 3 men that came to do the job were very friendly and polite. I definitely would use them again. In fact we used them about 1 year ago and when we were looking for someone to haul more things, I tried to find them but couldn't remember their contact info. I hired them a 2nd time without even realizing they were the same company. Highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Agape hauled away a large area of yard debris of sticks and leaves/compost. They also hauled away a ton of misc stuff from an old house. This included oven, couch, love seat, chairs and a ton of misc stuff.

I contacted Richard and was asked if I wanted just a quote or a quote and possiblilty of work done right away. I asked for the quote and crew to come to the apartment. We settled on a price and they began working. They called to let me know when the job was finished. I went over to make sure everything was done. After inspecting their work I paid them. They were great! Because of the damage to the apartment I asked for a quote for them to come in and demo the inside because of damage and mold. I plan to hire them to do the demo. I highly recommend Richard and his company for any hauling, clean up or demo work that you need done.
Description of Work: Richard did an outstanding job for us. We owe a twin single and a tenant left. When we tried to get inside the apartment it was destroyed. There was garbage, trash, furniture, spoiled food, broken appliances....left in the apartment. You could not see the floor because of all the trash inside. There was a water leak so everything was wet and smelly!!!!! It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. I was afraid to go inside, in fact the locksmith I hired to replace the locks refused to enter the apartment because of the filth. I called Richard in the late afternoon and he and his crew were at the apartment at 8:30 the next day. We agreed on the price and they immediately got to work. They made 4 trips to the dump with their trucks. They completely cleaned out the apartment, garage, and yard. I stopped over during the day to see their progess and they had 6 men working inside the apartment! They actually though it would take 2 days but were able to finish in one because they had 2 crews working at the apartment. Richard is extremley professional and a very nice person. His crew worked very hard and did an outstanding job!

I contated Agape based on the reviews I read. I thought the job would take at least 1.5 hours just b/c of the large sleeper sofa. They arrived on time and started working. In 30 minutes they had everything I wanted hauled outside in the truck. They are VERY fast! I too didn't bother with using the coupon, the price was already fair.
Description of Work: Hauled the following up from my mom's basement: sleeper sofa from the 1970's, old TV, bumper-pool table, old stereo from the 1970's & random small items.

We called Richard Smith at 8:30 am, and he was at the house by 10:30 looking at our "job" and giving us an estimate. He and his crew, Terell and Andre, started work right away. Richard arranged to have an associate with another truck come to help haul, as the truck he had come in was already half full. I have rarely seen a group of men work so diligently. They were courteous, attentive, and patient, when we found a few boxes with an old set of dishes in them that had to be put back, and a couple of other boxes that were important to keep. They worked quickly and efficiently. Not a shred of cardboard or packing material was left in the driveway or the garage. The were finished within an hour.They also took a few minutes to help us load the rolled up carpets into my vehicle so we could drive over to donate to Goodwill. Richard offers a $20 senior discount coupon to Angie's List customers. We tore up the coupon and happily wrote a check for the full $125. They were terrific! I highly recommend Richard and his crew.
Description of Work: We needed hlep clearing a basement half full of cartons and boxes that had been accumulating for 20 years, along with several rolled up carpets and some odds and ends of old 'stuff'. We wanted someone to help us remove these things from our large, finished, 4 1/2 foot high, crawl space and haul it away.

We cleaned out our garage on a Sunday morning, and realized we needed a lot of things hauled away. I called a little bit after noon, and Agape sent someone within the hour (on a Sunday!!) to load and haul away everything. The two men were very professional and quick. I would definitely use Agape again.

Mr. Smith and his associate removed the deask and credenza in less they a half. Also removed an old tv my Mom had in her garage. These guys are as professional as they come. Showed up on time, agreed on a price and went right to work. They know what they are doing and are very careful in what they do. Things could not have gone better. Quoted me $85, but I was so happy I gave them $100. Top notch!!!

I emailed Agape Hauling via Angie's List on 03/08/12 to request and estimate for the removal of a hot tub and two concrete septic tank risers and lids. Mr. Smith contacted me within the hour to schedule an estimate, for the following morning. Mr. Smith arrived on time for our appt. He gave me an estimate of $250 and I asked about using my Angie's List deal for his service of $200 worth of hauling for $100. He agreed and said the cost would be $150. We scheduled the work for Sunday, 03/11/12. Mr. Smith contacted 30mins. later to reschedule the job; was rescheduled for later that day (03/09/12) at 1pm. Mr. Smith and his crew arrived at 1pm. Removed all requested items and finished everything up by 1:40pm. They were very polite, professional and efficient.

Excellent! They gave GREAT care with everything, making sure nothing got damaged in the process; carried the fridge inside, from the truck, by hand (two men with Mr. Smith guiding/instructing). Would definitely use/contact them again! They're THE BEST!
Description of Work: Moved small, 10 cu ft refrigerator from one basement to another, 6 blocks apart. Also, agreed to be on "stand by" (from 10 -2) yesterday, March 7th, to come over to the house (with a 1-hour notice) and help a freight carrier driver remove furniture off their truck. A willingness to provide customers with help they need, when they need it (on such short notice), is extremely rare and to be highly commended! Thank you!!!

I was very satisfied. They were very friendly, very professional and very prompt. They were here right on time, they worked very quickly and they were very neat. I was very impressed with them and they were very careful with everything. I didn’t compare the price with other companies but from other people I know, I thought their pricing was quite fair. They were there right on the button.
