Highly recommend Junk King! We have used them FIVE times now over the last few years (yes, we had a lot to get rid of) and each time they are friendly, helpful, efficient, and very reasonable. We will continue to recommend and use them in the future. There is a very good reason that we are repeat customers when we need to clean out junk or house projects. They also care about the homeowner’s concerns. I have three cats and after one visit I could not find one of the cats after their team left. I was concerned she may have been hiding in one of the couches that was taken and their entire team was so helpful as soon as I contacted them. The owner even called me personally and was very kind and helpful, letting me know where the items were taken and what his drivers said/saw. Fortunately I did find the cat later that evening in our home (apparently she’s an even better hider than even I knew). Cannot thank them enough for being so understanding and responsive on top of the great job they had already done.

Abby, your kind words and high recommendation have us on beaming with pride! We're so happy to know that you were satisfied with our timely and efficient junk removal process, but we are even more happy to know that your kitty was safe at home the whole time! We know how important our furry family members are, and we were so worried about yours. It's relieving to know that she was just hiding out; completely oblivious to our panic! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and wonderful review of our junk removal service. Your endorsement means to much to us! Armen, Owner of Junk King Barrington
