The first man arrived on time but had to wait for a second man to help with the removal. Waited about 40 mins. for second man to arrive. Both guys were polite and efficient. My only real complaint is the cost. I thought it was too expensive but as I was under a time constraint, I paid the money rather than seek out alternatives.

The same guys again arrived within the 2-hour window. We had added a few things in the intervening days, and that wasn't a problem. It was raining so they couldn't drive the truck down into the yard, but cheerfully moved all the pieces from the back yard to the truck. They were neat and tidy, and got every little thing. Our yard looks so much better! And they gave us a coupon for our next visit. Look out basement!
Description of Work: Two "college hunks" were dispatched, arrived within the 2-hour window, and gave us an estimate of $400-$500 to remove several large items of old lawn and garden equipment, metal roofing, furniture, etc. Some of the items were very heavy and awkward. Another company had given us a quote of $800 to remove just one of the items. It was too late in the day to complete the task, so we scheduled a return visit a few days later.

They showed up on time. I felt they did an unorganized job. They did not work great as a team and because of this they chipped the paint and also the banister. There was also some dirt on the steps and they also left some grease stains on the carpet from the bed frame. They also smelled of smoke and it took a lot of time to get the smell out. I felt like I could have gotten the same service from the penny saver.
Description of Work: They hauled away a mattress and box spring as well as the metal bed frame.

It went extremely well. They came on time. It was a very difficult job. There was only two guys who had to try to figure out a way to take this hot tub out and get it to their truck, but they were able to do it.

It was fine. I called the 800 number once and got no reply. I tried again and it was quickly and easily answered; I wondered if I called the right number the first time. I explained what I needed and the person was helpful. They were able to meet me at my storage place (they park a truck out in front of the place on an ongoing basis so I figured they had some kind of deal with them) the following day. I said I needed the help in the afternoon and they gave me a 3-5 p.m. window. I told them I wouldn't be available until 3:30 due to babysitting limitations. He quoted me an hourly rate of (approx.) $115 for 2 guys. The next day the mover called me at 3:00. He was fine waiting the 20 min. or so until I got there, and I was not charged. I showed him what needed to be done. Here's the kicker -- he then said they had different pricing for moving -- a volume charge (or something like that) plus the hourly rate. I said I had not been told that and asked how much it was and he stated that it would be some amount over $500 plus the hourly rate. I said no it wouldn't, if it would be that much I would make another arrangement. He called his supervisor and came back to say it was just the hourly rate. It was kind of perplexing -- but it definitely raised my eyebrows! The rest of the move went fine. They worked quite hard on a hot day and it was done promptly. I don't think they're very used to moving but they were willing and able. I tipped them in addition to the charge for the time.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT WE DO NOT NORMALLY PROVIDE MOVING SERVICES. WE ARE A JUNK REMOVAL AND HAULING SERVICE. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE CONFUSION, AND MISCOMMUNICATION WITH OUR OFFICE REGARDING THE MOVE. WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON HAVING TRANSPARENT PRICING, SO I HOPE WE CAN DO A BETTER JOB EXPLAINING IT NEXT TIME. THANKS AGAIN AND HAVE A JUNK-FREE DAY!

Back in June, I scheduled an appointment online for an estimate. The appointment was a two hour window between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. At 8:15 a.m. I received a call from College Hunks Hauling Junk to say they would be at my home in 15 minutes. At 8:30 on the nose, a big orange and green truck drove up to the house and parked in my driveway. Brandon and George hopped out of the truck cab and I knew I was in for a treat! Tall, good looking, well-mannered with genuine smiles. We walked around and I showed them what needed to be done. They gave me an estimate and off to work they went! I had moved the light furniture and knick knacks out of the way the day before. They moved the heavy furniture, got down on their hands and knees and proceeded to rip that nasty carpet that has been on the floors for 20 years! Brandon and George swept the floor, moved the furniture back and cleaned up the mess. I paid them, happily, and off went that carpet in the big orange and green truck. And just think, it only took an hour!

They were very helpful and very nice. They were very efficient, and they were here right when they said they would be. The prices were not explained completely on their website, as the prices are prorated in relation to how much is donated, and there is a minimum charge.

I was very pleased with this company right from the start when my initial call reached a "real person" right away. All my questions were politely and accurately answered, and I got an appointment within one week. They were even agreeable to my request to be called 20 minutes before the appointment. The two fellows that came were on time, estimated the cost for what I wanted done, and then got right to work when I agreed with their price. They also gave me an estimate for another project I was considering for a future date, and provided me with a couple of $10-off coupons. I was very satisfied with everything about this job.
Description of Work: After a major basement cleanup, I needed to have the debris removed. Two men arrived on time, quoted me a price, and proceeded to carry out the job of hauling numerous loads of "junk" up a full flight of basement steps and out the side door to their truck. They were even willing to dismantle several shelving units in the process. The work was completed in a reasonable time, safely, and with no damage or problems.

They called me about 15 minutes into their allotted window, and said they'd be at my house in approximately 15 minutes. They arrived on time, I showed them what was to be removed, and they explained their pricing and what they estimated it would cost (based on fullness of truck), and then began work. These excellent young men took extra care to not damage anything else in the house, without being asked. In the end they had over estimated, and I owed less than expected.
Description of Work: The guys from College Hunks removed old furniture, boxes of old equipment, bags of clothing and trash left by my former roommate, and some branches from the back yard.

Things went very smoothly. I made a reservation on a Sunday afternoon through the website for Monday morning 9-11 am. They called a few minutes before 9:00 and arrived minutes later. They looked at what needed hauled away, and provided an estimate, which was very reasonable. I agreed to the rate; they loaded the stuff onto the truck. They were done in about 20 minutes.

The young men arrived on time and provided a bid with confidence. Other companies were less certain they could fit the formidable pile into one truck and provided me with estimates of the additional load fees. "College Hunks" had everything packed away into the truck very quickly and were on their way.
Description of Work: A team of young men eagerly hauled away seventeen years worth of accumulated junk that my husband and I lugged into a huge pile in our garage. I chose this company over two other very comparable bids because they were so confident that the truly massive pile could all be fit into one truck and not require an additional load (and cost).

College Hunks Hauling Junk was very responsive, punctual, and polite. The coordinator contacted me within one hour of my initial on-line request to book a pickup for the following day. Upon discovering an opening in the schedule, the pickup team called to inquire about arriving 30 minutes earlier than planned. They removed the box spring and completed the paper work before they were scheduled to begin.

Everything went smoothly and hassle-free. First contacted College Hunks Hauling Junk using their online form on a Thursday night and indicated that I needed the work done fairly quickly. Got a phone call first thing Friday morning and they said they could schedule me that afternoon between 3-5 pm. Company called me that afternoon and said that they would be there around 4-4:15 pm. Guys and truck arrived on time; did a walk through of the items that needed to be removed; was given a very competitive quote for the hauling; okayed it; and work was begun immediately. Within the hour, everything was removed and the truck was loaded. Great bunch of guys; extremely professional; and did everything that was asked of them. Absolutely first-rate!
Description of Work: Due to the death of my sister, I had to clean out my sister's townhouse of years of clutter and debris. This included removal of bed, box springs and mattress; gym equipment including a rower and treadmill; broken TVs; garden debris including rocks and bricks; building materials, etc.

I needed someone to haul away some old office furniture from my business address. This company was great, extremely helpful, responsive, and I thought the rate was fine, especially since they explained on the phone how the rates were structured. They helped me move other stuff around as well, after removing the old furniture, and although I was visibly pregnant at the time it seemed like they would have done that for anyone. Highly recommended and will use again in future, I even took their card home.

Beware of their pricing schedule. They charge by what percentage of truck space is used to haul you junk. This is VERY subjective. In addition, they wanted to charge us extra for taking a very heavy item, even though they claim the price is set by volume, not weight.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON HAVING OBJECTIVE AND TRANSPARENT PRICING, BASED ON HOW MUCH SPACE THE ITEMS FILL IN THE TRUCK. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS FOR BEDLOAD ITEMS, SUCH AS CONCRETE, DIRT, OR HEAVY EQUIPMENT. THIS IS STANDARD PRICING IN THE INDUSTRY. WE PAY ALL OF THE DISPOSAL FEES, AND DISPOSAL FEES ARE BASED ON WEIGHT. I APOLOGIZE IF OUR EMPLOYEES DID NOT MAKE THIS CLEAR. IT IS ALSO POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE. ALSO, AS YOU MENTIONED, THE CREW WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, AND THEY REMOVED THE ITEMS UP STEEP BASEMENT STEPS WITHOUT CHARGING FOR EXCESS LABOR, WHICH OTHER COMPANIES ARE LIKELY TO DO.

The ''hunks'' (Andrew was our lead contact) were tremendously helpful removing our junk. The guys arrived on time and were extremely professional (starting with a nice call to tell us they were on their way and checking to make sure they had the correct address in the GPS system). The team got the job done quickly and cleanly. Well done! I've told a number of folks how pleased I was with this company's service.
Description of Work: When our basement was flooded a few weeks back, we had tons of furniture and wet carpet that we needed removed from our house quickly. Our neighbor told us about a company she saw on the news called ''College Hunks Hauling Junk'' that hires college students to remove unwanted items from within people's homes and offices. We gave them a call and it worked out great.
