I contacted Jim for the first job (in 2008) and he gave me an estimate of $250; Jim and his helper arrived on time, had to take off the doorframe in the basement, breakdown the lid of the deepfreeze and the door of the refridgerator, they loaded up several trashcans and hauled out old tires. The second job consisted of taking away years worth of accumulation in a big 2 car garage (in 2009), the quote for one load was $250, but because it required 2 trips to get rid of it all it ended up being $500 (which was fine with us); again, Jim came with a helper and was prompt and efficient. We've never had any problems in dealing with him and would use his hauling services again if needed.
Description of Work: First job was to clean out a basement of a 1940s refridgerator and deep freeze, tires and general junk. Second job was to clean out a garage full of junk, which required 2 truckloads.

I am helping my Mom sell her house and some very large, heavy items needed to be removed from the basement. We have a timetable for clearing out the house. I called the company about 1 and a half weeks in advance and carefully explained that we needed a large freezer removed, I said it was 6 ft. high about 4 ft. across and about 2 ft. deep. I also said it was the largest freezer i had ever seen in a house. We also needed a heater/ filter for an in-ground swimming pool removed. They advertise in our local newspaper every day for hauling services. I told them that the door molding might have to be removed, they said this was OK. My husband took 4 hours of OVERTIME off from work to be there. Upon arrival with a very small, partially already loaded truck, they said it was too large for them to remove. I had given them the exact measurements the week before!! I called later on the phone and the owner(Jim) was very loud and rude to me. He kept yelling" We can't take things that large" What a disaster! We lost money because my husband missed some work. NEVER HIRE THEM!!!!
Description of Work: No services were performed, because the company backed out upon arriving at the house!
