This company has no license to haul anything in Washington state. I also discovered that Lukerative's real name is actually Original Light. They have no contractor's license either, which makes it illegal for them to haul away construction materials, cut up hot tubs or anything that is construction related.…

10 stars out of 5! Very prompt and friendly. Answered phone questions and texts promptly. Hauled away old unwanted furniture and misc items. Skye was great - I will definitely call again!

I couldn't find a valid account for worker's insurance for this company. Seems strange to bring workers to a customer's house with no insurance. Huge liability. This company also has a canceled hauling license and has no contractor's account.

This company has no license to haul anything in Washington state. I also discovered that Lukerative's real name is actually Original Light. They have no contractor's license either, which makes it illegal for them to haul away construction materials, cut up hot tubs or anything that is construction related. Beware of this unlicensed contractor advertising illegally. Reports have been filed and they are being investigated by the state of Washington for contractor fraud.

Beware of impostors that spread false information with made up names like Dom Andy. I understand your jealous that you didnt get the bid. Redirect your wasted hours of energy trying to think of ways to smear my name and get to work. I pray you find better ways to spend your time.

Another Bogus Review. I haven't had this kind of conversation with anybody in the last few years. Seems like my competition is getting scared. Hi, Brian - please stop spreading false information. Thanks

We hired Luke to get rid of an item weighing 300lbs, left over from our move, and he handled the situation flawlessly! He was able to come next day after calling and sent pictures of his truck loaded before we paid, since we are hours away now. Would recommend him to anyone looking for junk removal!

Great experience with Lukerative junk removal. In about an hour they hauled away several dump runs worth of junk for a competitive price. They were flexible and able to haul away an additional large pile of old lumber that hadn’t been mentioned in advance, which was much appreciated. They took care of a bunch of propane canisters for me as well! Highly recommend.
