Dave is great he always shows up on time, offers the best quotes in town, and makes sure everything is left clean afterward. Our family has been using his services for two years and we have never had a single issue.
Dave's Cheap Removal was extremely disappointing. They agreed to remove a small amount of junk from my garage and bedroom. A day before the they were supposed to come, they contacted me to say they had overbooked and asked to reschedule for the following day. They assured me they would arrive on time and complete the job.
The next day, they were a complete no-call, no-show. They didn't answer my phone calls or respond to my text messages.
If you value reliability and communication, I would recommend looking elsewhere. They missed two separate appointments. A NO CALL NO SHOW IS THE WORST FORM OF BUSINESS.

Hello Boss, we're so sorry we couldn't get to you, was not able to communicate because one of our employees was in an accident this morning and I'm still currently with police for reporting, we're so sorry you feel that and our deepest apologies for our missed pick up today ! If there was a way to post pictures to a review response I would post them but I hope you find another service and we wish you well on your week ahead!

I made an appointment with Dave for this past Wednesday to remove some old furniture. He simply did a no-call/no-show. He then texted me late the next day only to ask if I wanted to reschedule. He gave no concrete reason for his behavior of simply not showing up at all and not calling me for our scheduled appointment. I would go look for someone else.

Hello New customer, we're so sorry to hear you had a missed pick up! Unfortunately these things happen sometimes because we're so busy on the route, hopefully we can improve your service in the future! Thank You...
