Had them remove a sectional from our basement that needed disassembly to remove. They were upfront with the likely cost estimate and took no longer than 30 minutes to break down the couch and haul it away.
Junk-A-Haulics did an incredible job helping me clean out my late grandfather's house in Clark. Clearing out an estate is a massive and stressful undertaking, but their team made the process of emptying out the entire first and second floors completely seamless. They were professional, efficient, and handled everything with care. They took a huge weight off my shoulders, and I was so impressed with their work that I’ll absolutely be calling them back to tackle the basement next. Highly recommend them to anyone needing a reliable cleanout service!
Joseph, thank you for trusting Junk-A-Haulics during such a difficult time. We are very sorry for your loss and glad our team could make the estate cleanout easier while handling everything with care. We appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and we look forward to helping with the basement when you are ready.

Joanne ParnofielloLocal Guide · 20 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Joanne has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
From the very beginning, starting with my first phone call, my experience with Junkaholics was nothing short of exceptional.
Jessie, the manager, Was a real professional showing a true understanding, allowing me to cancel and reschedule a number of times based on our unique situation.
Carlos- So kind and respectful, and his team were a well-oiled machine. They took their time going through boxes and bags to determine what best suited each charity.
They were careful with our belongings and respectful. as they worked to get everything out of a second floor garden apartment- despite the huge inconvenience. .
With grear care and determination, they unloaded our very full apartment, filling three truckloads over five hours. Through it all they remained good-natured and never complained or took more time than they needed.
I highly recommend them for any move that you need, especially where you’re looking to donate to charity partners. They were worth every dollar spent on them… They know what they’re doing, and they’ll get the job done properly.
It was an emotional day for us, but made much easier by Jessie, Carlos, Troy, and the team from Junkaholics. You guys rock. We could not have done this humongous job without you! God bless you.❤️❤️❤️❤️
