Failure to respond suggests a lack of interest in my project. If there is no interest on their part to do the work simply let one know, silence is not golden unless your writing a song.
Description of Work: I initiated email contact twice over several weeks. I did receive an automated acknowledgement of my request that suggested I would be contacted. That contact did not come the first time, and has yet to occur on the most current request.

I called Erik and explained to him on the phone that I had a 24' round above ground pool that needed taken down and hauled away, along with an old grill and a porch glider. Erik was able to give an estimate over the phone on the first call and he said he would be out to my house within the next few days to do the job. Erik called a few days later and said he would be out the next day. Erik arrived when he said he would and got right to work. He and his partner worked straight through until the job was done and the area was cleaned to my satisfaction. He was very nice and professional. I would use him again. .

I was so impressed with Becky and Joe from Erik's Hauling. They arrived on time, were extremely pleasant and professional and did a fantastic job of removing a full load of items to be hauled away. It was truly a great experience and I would not hesitate to call Erik's Hauling for any future needs.
Description of Work: Removal of old furniture (some of it very heavy), 3 air conditioners, building materials and odds and ends from several rooms in my home, garage and yard. The price included removal of Freon from the 3 air conditioners.

Erik got back to me right away. I had an unusual request, which was to haul old industrial machines out of my basement (almost 10,000 pounds of steel, it turned out). I had gotten another quote that was comparable to the final cost of this (once I factored the sale of scrap), but I was more confident that these guys could do this difficult job. They showed up on time, and worked really hard to finish the job. They did everything they needed to get the stuff out of the basement, using ramps, extra lifting equipment, and even breaking concrete around one machine that was concreted into the floor (the amount above includes the extra I paid for that and the patching of concrete in the basement). I was amazed that nothing stood in the way of them finishing a job that took about twelve more hours than they first thought it would. They cleaned the industrial oil that leaked out of the engines, and left the basement looking neat. I would definitely hire them again to do some regular moving.

Perfect. Reviewed business web site, understood fees, and emailed Erik for availability for my specific day. Received a quick reply Then briefly spoke to schedule two weeks later. Movers and hauling crew arrived at same time. Both 2 man crews where friendly and courteous. The hauling took crew was fast, efficient, then left. The movers were great, very courteous and hard-working. Very responsive to my requests, and offered advice on placement of furniture. Couldn't ask for better attitudes doing a tough job. Very customer-oriented.

It went extremely well. I called the day before (Saturday) and asked Erik if he would be available on Sunday. He said he would be available at 9 am. Erik and Joe arrived 15 minutes ahead of time in a perfectly clean truck and got to work immediately. They were extremely helpful, going above and beyond what was required. We had a couple of 16' extension ladders that didn't fit in the container, and they sawed them in half to fit. I would definitely hire them again, and would recommend them to anyone who needs hauling done.
Description of Work: Erik hauled three full loads of old furniture, appliances, etc. from my mother's house which we're cleaning out in preparation to sell the house.

Erik gave an estimate based on our conversation, scheduled a day that was very convenient for me, and arrived as arranged. He and his helper worked quickly and efficiently, cleaning up the work sites of all debris before leaving. Great relief to be able to get rid of items that could not be put out for the regular trash collection not to mention too heavy to carry by myself. I definitely would recommend his services (in fact already shared his name and phone number with someone) and would not hesitate calling again if the need occurs. Very professional and overall nice guy to do business with!

My first impression over the phone was with Becky. She was very professional and knowledgeable. Becky and Rich arrived on time for the service with the appropriate equipment needed. They both had a professional presentation, were very friendly, worked quickly and efficiently and left the area broom clean. I felt comfortable with them in my home. I would absolutely utilize their services again.

He was on time. He was very focused and efficient. He hauled everything away and also had men move other things to a storage. They were professional and pleasant. I was very pleased with their work. I was happy to have hauling and moving done with one company. He was fast. He was in and out in 3 hours.
Description of Work: He came to haul away and move things to clear out my mother's house. He charged $395 for hauling and $225 for moving the first trip. The second time he came to haul I paid $225.

The crew moved two apartments into a home almost 40 miles away. No problems. The crew pointed out existing damage to our furniture. Everything arrived safely and undamaged.
Description of Work: Erik's was a pleasant surprise. Not only did they cut the competitors price by almost half, but the crew was professional, punctual, and extremely courteous. I would definitely use Erik's again.

Erik was VERY responsive and returned my phone calls promptly. I think they work 24/7 as they showed up at 8pm and Erik was willing to come by at any time - day, night, weekends, etc. They arrived on time. They moved the furniture around and even removed (and re-attached) one of the doors to get the couch up to the 3rd floor. They didn't damage anything and they hauled the dryer away as part of the deal. They were fast, efficient and professional. A positive experience, I will hire Erik and his team again - they know what they are doing and do it well.
Description of Work: Moved some furniture and a dryer around my house. A couch from the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor; a large 7' foot mirror and dresser from the 3rd floor to the 2nd; a dryer from the basement to haul away.

I am very happy with my experience. I called on Tuesday (9/6) to get an estimate and was given that over the phone after I described the items I needed removed. We set a date for Thursday (9/8) at 10 AM. Got a call at 9:45 saying they were running a little behind and would be about 45 minutes late which was fine by me. They arrived close to 11 and started right in after I showed them all the things I wanted removed. The job was complicated by the fact that they had to haul the items up through a narrow bulkhead and then down a narrow walkway from my back gate to the street, about 150 feet. The sofabed was a challenge because it was wide and extremely heavy -- it took 4 of us to bring it down into the basement, but the two men were able to handle it without too much difficulty. It was a breeze after that and they were done in less than an hour. They were friendly and professional, and worked quickly and efficiently. I told them I'd definitely call them again once I dug deeper into the piles of stuff in my basement. The estimate was the price paid. Could have given them a 'B' for punctuality but didn't because they did call to say they'd be late.
Description of Work: Had several large, bulky items I wanted hauled out of my basement: 2 old refrigerators, 3 old TVs, 2 computer monitors, fluorescent tubes, assorted pieces of wood, 8 paint cans and a rug and sofa bed that were damaged when water backed up into the basement.

Erik and one other laborer showed up on time. I have 15 stairs in front of my house; Erik said if I could get the debris pile to ground level, the removal would be $100. If I want his crew to traverse the stairs, it would be an extra $50. I paid the extra $50. They worked well together and had the pile removed and the truck full in no time. I was disappointed that they decided to throw all of the wood down my stairs instead of carrying it down. I could have thrown it down the stairs myself but never would have. Now my stairs have scratched and nicks from the screws and nails in the wood; there is also a lot of dirt and debris that flew off of the wood while it rolled down the stairs. I also found some of the wood in my ivy beside the stairs so they didn't get all of it. There was also a broken drain grate in the pile that he didn't take. Instead, he left it balanced on the railing beside the stairs. I also asked him to take a small pile of yard debris but he said there was no more room. I think it should have been thrown in the truck first and then the wood piled on top would have smashed it down. Bottom line, he didn't take all of it and didn't clean up after making a mess of my front stairs. Thanks Erik! I promise I won't bother you again.
Description of Work: I demolished a deck behind my house and asked Erik to remove the debris from demo which was a truck load of wood that was full of nails and screws.
