The two men came and instantly were nice and made me comfortable. Nice, polite and all. They proceeded to remove a large, heavy gas grill and a wrought iron table and chairs for a fair price. Not cheap, but fair and for a very good service. Highly recommended!

The men showed up on time. Got what we needed out and left with no issues. They were friendly, professional and did good work. We recently had 2 freezers and a refrigerator go out while we were away. Came back, and everything inside them was spoiled. You can imagine the stench. I did them solid by securing the doors so they wouldn't open while in transit. However, it was heavy and nasty work. They did it all with great attitudes. Can't say enough how I appreciate these men. I didn't take any pics. Some things you don't want to remember.
