Amazing team to work with.
Nice people to get rid of what you can’t use anymore. Two nice young men took care of everything in a reasonable time and were professional
Alexis and Calebarrived on time and were very professional and helpful the entire time that they were here. I like the fact that Junkluggers will try to donate or recycle items that are suitable for donation or recycling.
We had to clean out a house that had been lived in by a hoarder who also had a number of dogs and cats. It was beyond filthy. It took three days, in very hot weather, to remove everything that had to be removed. It filled 3 1/2 truckloads. Throughout this ordeal the team that came to do this for us were…
I’ve used Junkluggers multiple times now and it’s always been a quick and easy process. It’s also nice that some of my stuff could get donated.
Service was amazing.
Having to remove a large amount of garbage that my family filled an home with over the years was very overwhelming. Bob Schmidt and his team were very helpful and worked long hours to get the job done. I appreciate their kindness and dedication to get all that was required cleared out,
Took the camper that no one else would take and even helped take it out of the yard and put it on a driveway.
Team arrived on time quickly estimated job and got to work efficiently neatly and respectfully. A pleasure to work with.
Alexis and Cody were great getting rid of the items I requested. Very,professional, friendly and helpful about the cost.I will recommend your company. As well as these 2 gentlemen. Thank you.
Junk Luggers are very professional. Nate & Alexis provided us with a good quality service. They are also very respectful and polite. I would highly recommend this Company to my groups of friends.
They overcharged me. I was given one price by an organization that represented him and the price I actually paid was almost double work was average
Bob, Josh and crew were so professional and thorough I would not hesitate to use Junkluggers again. Thanks to them all for helping my family and me deal with a daunting task.
Excellent experience! Our two person team was professional, efficient, on time and quick. Picked up from our house and a storage unit. Highly recommend and love that everything is donated or repurposed in some way. Thanks!
Luke and Dominick were great. They really worked hard and were above my expectations. I will definitely request them for next time.
They were very professional and always kept me updated as to when they would arrive. They did a great job of cleaning out an entire house!!
Exceptional service and very professional. Very fair price
They were very kind, friendly and compassionate with a property of a recently deceased family member that had A LOT to clear out. Patrick, Derek and Bob were efficient, thorough and patient. The cost ended up being much more than we anticipated but we needed it done ASAP so we had to use them. If cost isn’t of concern, I’d definitely recommend them!!
The Guys from the Junkluggers are quick, Friendly, and always deliverer
Zac & Cody - The “Suite Life” team! Hands down the best experience I’ve had with a junk company. I’m a Professional Organizer and have hired another huge junk company (multiple times) and two local small biz junk company’s before. After my experience today - JunkLuggers will be my go to! We filled a full truck of…
Fast, Professional, and polite. Highly recommend The Junkluggers!
I want to thank The Junkluggers and each one of you who helped us for your awesome work and your professional experience. Luke and Derek thank you so much for your expertise. You guys are wonderful. We had a great experience with your services and the transporting of our furniture from one city to two others cities…
I started with a different company and finished with Junkluggers. I wish I’d chosen them from the beginning. Bob and his staff were kind, professional, and were fairly priced. They did a great job and we finished much earlier than I expected. It was a huge relief. I’d recommend them for projects that feel too…
Derrick and Luke were great. We received a quote. We thought we were going to have to wait at least a week or two to get things moved and they were able to do the job that day. They were very professional, careful and pleasant to deal with. We even had the boss, Bob Schmitt carry a double oven down the stairs and…
Great company with a great mission. They are the only company who offered to come out and provide an on-site bid and thoroughly explain their process. Other companies provided bids based only on pics they asked me to send. Junkluggers was also the best priced, which made the decision that much easier. Great experience all around!
The movers were on time, friendly, attentive and careful with all items.
JunkLuggers cleared out an entire house for us in a day. They were very professional and worked hard to get it done - and done well (no scratches on the walls despite moving large furniture). Grateful too that they were able to take so much of the contents to charities to bless others (& provide us with receipts from the charities).
These guys are great!
Great service and very friendly
Your team is incredible! Patrick and Matt were wonderful to work with and they completely went above and beyond for me. I have already recommended you to others, and I will continue to do so based on the great service I was provided.
Worked efficiently. Removed heavy items from our basement. Left the areas clean. Appreciated their efforts.
In addition, they moved additional boxes from downstairs to the garage. This is in preparation for my move. They went above and beyond. They always awesome!
Excellent service, polite, professional, on time, beyond helpful, and they made things easy breezy! I loved the experience.
Great company and they did a great job.
Service was friendly, professional, very helpful, and timely. I like that the option of donations is there. I hope some of the removed items will be able to serve someone else. Thank you!
Used the company twice and they are professional. They give you a timeline and work with your schedule, and adjust to your circumstances.
Great timely service!
William and Courtney were professional, courteous, and efficient. Great job!
Wonderful experience. Two very professional people arrived on time, gave estimate quickly , worked very consistently and finished quickly. They finished under estimate! Yay. Such a big job: garage and basement with multiple rooms. Really appreciated!
Great work, the guys were very professional and also treated the items we were keeping and moving from the storage space to our home with care. Highly recommended.
They were efficient, courteous and on time. Very pleased with the service. Thanks Chris and Derek.
Junkluggers is a great company to work with. They always show up on time, their rates are reasonable and they do what they say they’re going to do. I’d highly recommend if you have junk sitting around you need removed.
Great job! Chris and Derrick were great with their work, communication and making sure I was satisfied before leaving. Highly recommend using them.
Very professional! On time, friendly and very hard working. Costs were reasonable considering the number of items taken and the work involved.
Chris and Jenna were on time and very professional. They did a walk through with us, explain the cost and terms and once we agreed they got to work. Took a bit but they did not stop until done. Thank you so much!
Courtney and Will did a great job ! Were in and out within 30 minutes! But he had everything for them ready to go !
We used them third time and it was great experience and very smooth and easy.
I called for a full house clean out and boy did they deliver! In two days most of the house got cleaned out. The best part is that a lot was able to be donated and kept out of the landfills. If your like me and a nervous type these guys and gals were able to make me feel at ease right away and were always on time…
Very timely, professional and courteous.
Patrick and Dom were awesome and made the process of getting my mother in law's house ready to be put on the market a big thank you to them.
Great experience. Affordable and professional.
Chris and Mark showed up and hauled away our junk very quickly. They were very friendly and professional, made everything very easy.

Very professional. Did an excellent job. Job went so smooth I would recommend junkluggers to everyone.
Patrick, Michael and Dylan were outstanding ! They worked efficiently and with such a positive attitude that it made the day easy. Respectful and hardworking crew. Definitely will recommend them to friends and family. Booking and appointment setting was a breeze . Communication and ETA of the crew was on spot.
These guys are great. On time!!! Great price. Hard workers. Will use them again and will recommend to family and friends. Alex and Josh were monsters of the move!
These guys are professional and very quick with the removal. Josh and his team made the process extremely simple. Thanks again! I’ll definitely recommend and choose them again.
Very nice group. I was pleased with the speed and courtesy of the team.
Derek and Dominic were amazing from start to finish. They explained everything throughly. I felt very confident with them removing things from my house. They were very friendly and professional. I would definitely use them again. I even asked if I could get the two of them to come back in the summer when I clean…
Had them come out to take away some old furniture. They called asking if they could come early. I couldn’t because I was getting my son ready for school. They said no problem they’ll come at the scheduled time. Arrived exactly at that time. Did a walkthrough for pricing and were in and out quickly. Have used them a…
Based on my collaboration with this team, client needs vary considerably (small or large). My project was on the large side. What I liked most about this team is their ability to adapt, solve the problem. They improvised and got it done within 24 hrs of my call. Also notable that they did so safely. They moved…
Great service!
I hired Junkluggers to empty my daughters storage unit that she has had since college in Chicago. I live in Southern California, and I am so impressed with the service I received. Bob and his team cleaned out the unit quickly and even gave me my quote upon arrival with pictures. The price was great and I highly…
Luke and Alex were very professional and cleared out 4 rooms very smoothly without causing any damages. They called to give a heads up and were on time. Third time using the junk luggers, they are amazing!
You CANNOT find any other removal service to compare to JL. Go read about them on their website. Every word is true and demonstrated in every action and interaction. I’ve used them three times and would trust Patrick and Mike with any task. They go above and beyond at every opportunity. Awesome company; awesome staff. Lynn
Great experience! The guys were very professional and polite. They checked in with me by phone and offered to come a little early. They were very efficient and got the job done quickly. Will definitely call on them again!
Excellent and very professional. I would definitely use them again.
Junkluggers were a real lifesaver during the holiday season when I needed an urgent clean out of my home. The appointment process was easy, staff very friendly, the removal service was excellent and on time, and the price was very reasonable. The service members were very friendly and kind. More importantly I am…
I’ve used junk Luggers before and had a great experience so I used them again and they didn’t disappoint! Quoted me a price but ended up doing it faster so my price went down. They even swept after they which they didn’t have to do! On time, fast, nice! Thanks Luke and Brandon T! Made my day!
I am very impressed with Junkluggers and highly recommend them.
Friendly and professional. Was very happy with the service
Good job, will use again!
Josh and Dylan came in gave us a reasonable estimate to which we agreed. A little over an hour later everything was packed up and gone. It was such a relief to rid ourselves of all the things. Josh and Dylan were very professional as well as personable which made the whole experience pleasant and seamless. I would…
Great work! Very economical and great communication through the process of the removal!
Called and they came the same day, even called to let me know they were running a little late. Jenna and Domenic were friendly and helpful.
The employees were professional, courteous, timely, and gave quality service while serving their customer, me.
Patrick and Dominick were as professional as they could be. Their estimate was accurate. They cleaned everything out in a swift and efficient manner. I would use them again if the need arises.
Josh and his helper, I believe Dominic, we’re friendly professional, and made everything quite easy. In fact, I’m using them again.
Highly recommend this company! They were quick to schedule, very communicative the day of, and Josh and Dominic who came out to complete the job were friendly, efficient, and made the process very easy. Will gladly use them any time we need junk or construction debris removal services.
Great service. Very professional and efficient.
Great experience
Nice guys, and they were very quick
This was the second time we used Junkluggers in the last six weeks. We are in the process of downsizing from a 4000 sq ft house. Alex and his crew were simply amazing. Whether it was moving and disassembling a huge king size bedroom set or a very heavy solid oak desk or a precor treadmill…they did it all. We…
Trey and Michael were on time and efficient. I ordered the pick up 12 hours earlier. Absolutely amazing.
JunkLuggers is consistently great. I’ve used them personally and for clients homes pre and post sale. I’d highly recommend them. Whatever team they send are always extremely helpful and professional and they get the job done!
On time, hard working, kept me informed of the process, packed the truck full!
It was the day before our move and we knew we were never going to get everything packed, tossed to donated on time. We called Junkluggers and they were there the next day to haul everything away at a fair price. The process was easy and staff was friendly from start to finish.
Excellent service - highly recommend!
Awesome! Fast! Strong guys! They moved in an hour what would’ve taken me a week!
Jenna and Michael were amazing. They came out, saw the pile and within an hour it was all gone. They were very polite and personable. Thanks for the great work. My garage looks awesome now.
Patrick and Matt were courtesy, efficient, and overall great to work with. I moved apartments and they delivered some new furniture on time and helped make the moving process run smooth. Would definitely use Junk Luggers again.
Excellent service and personnel. Came back to urgent request after I missed some stuff.
Great service by Alex and Dylan. Booking was easy and they were quick. Would use again for sure!
The two gentlemen that came and removed our items were very polite and extremely professional. Would recommend The Junkluggers for your junk removal. Will use them again in the future.
I will use Junkluggers instead of movers next time I need heavy things moved or hauled away. They were cheaper than the movers I hired previously and they don't charge for travel from their office and back! Mostly we had a few heavy things removed and taken away from our basement and then they moved items from the…
They were nice, quick, professional and I felt the pricing was fair. The biggest item I needed disposed of was a mattress and they had the best price out of everyone I contacted. Totally hassle free.
Chris and Patrick were awesome to work with. They listened and took the items that needed to go. Overall, great experience.
The men were very professional, courteous and accommodating. They were cautious and careful not to damage anything in my home while moving heavy, awkward things. I would highly recommend this company.
Very nice to work with, kept me informed about when they would be to my home. Very helpful and I felt they were reasonable. Would use them again.
Junk Luggers took away an old console piano. Service was excellent and price was fair. They took care to protect my floors and doorways. They answered my questions and even checked with a manager to be sure the info was accurate.
Absolutely great customer service. Alex, Josh and zesty were exceptional. Worked alongside us and took great care with our items. Highly recommend this company if you are moving or cleaning out spaces.competitive pricing as well.
Ran a little late but still got the job done. More reasonably priced than other companies.
Unbelievable experience from start to finish. I highly recommend them to anyone that needs a house / garage clean out. Hard working, friendly and professional at a decent price.
The service people who came, were very polite and considerate. They explained the process thoroughly, and gave us a fair price. They answer all our questions and were done in a timely manner. We were very happy with the service provided.
I was in a bind, needed to have 2 couches, a queen size bed and some other furniture removed. I called the day before my move out date and they were able to lock me in for a window the next day. They were on time, professional and even cut me a pretty good deal considering the amount to be removed. Highly recommend for your needs.
They were wonderful! Happy, helpful people that worked hard and made it an enjoyable experience.
Michael & Alex were very professional, hardworking, & friendly. My sister Jean & I were impressed at how quickly they were able to organize our recyclables, waste, & furniture removal. Everything was handled carefully & they did a great job of explaining how they were organizing the job & pricing it. Would highly…
It feels great to get rid of all that junk. Thanks Junkluggers!
Patrick and his team member were professional, courteous and extremely helpful. They provided the bid and the actual price ended up being lower! Great service, really helped me out. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and plan on utilizing them again in the future!
Bob is great, appreciated the time he took to talk through the whole process. David worked so hard at the house, he had great communication, and put in extra time to do everything needed for a job well done. I am so glad I found Junkluggers to help!!
Bob and his team were responsive and very friendly from the start. It was a pleasure working with Junkluggers. We were moving out of state and downsizing and very glad we went with them as they made all of our stuff just disappear! Thanks again guys!
Wonderful staff and fast service.
Junkluggers were extremely responsive and professional! They called right back after initial contact. The crew showed up on time and texted to let me know they were on the way. The crew looked nice and professional and were very courteous and accommodating. The crew did their work efficiently and were thoughtful…
I was so please with there work the was in and out in no time I will call junk lugger the next time I need them again
These guys were great. Very responsive and respectful. Will use again.
Bob Schmitt; President/Owner and his crew were great! They worked at a fast pace but really took time to sort through an entire household of items. What sets them apart from other junk removal businesses is that they take the extra step of donating what they can of your items. I will certainly refer them customers in the future.
Chris and Josh came today to remove junk in 2 storage closets and inside of garage. I didn't get involved with pricing but they were both pleasant, thorough and speedy. I will definitely use them again and will refer them to my friends.
I would recommend Junkluggers, they had friendly staff and schedualed me right away. Very good customer service when I needed to make change and fair price for all of the services.
Professional on time and great value for the money. From contact time to removal was less than 24 hours. Will contact again for sure. Thanks Guys!!!
Bob was incredibly professional, direct and to the point. He was responsive and fair. The moving guys (I met 6) were also all professional, efficient and communicated well.I would highly recommend this company to anyone and I would definitely use them again.
Very professional service. Highly recommend!
Excellent job done
Matt and Josh arrived on time, we're courteous, masked, thorough and prompt in getting us our estimate and then removing items from upstairs and our basement. JunkLuggers came highly recommended by our neighbors. We were pleased with their service.
Josh and Matt were great. Very good follow-up to appointment and reminders. Reasonable rates for job done.
Josh and David were fast, efficient and did an amazing job! Highly recommend this company
Experience was great. Fast, efficient, friendly. No issues or concerns at all.
I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Josh and David arrived on-time (a few minutes early actually), explained to me the process and the pricing structure. Once they walked through everything to be removed they quoted me a very fair price. They were extremely professional and made the entire…
Josh & David did a great job! They were very thorough & took pictures of everything. I will be continuing to collect more garbage during my packing & will definitely call them at the end to do another cleanup.
I considered a few junk removal services, and junk luggers was the most professional, and most affordable.
The two guys that arrived were very professional and friendly. They made sure they were getting everything we wanted them to take and not anything else from the garage. I appreciate that they are concerned about not just dumping everything in a landfill. I would use them again.
The best Moving Company I've ever hired. You have the best Employees as well. I will use your Company again in the future.
Top notch crew of 4. In and out in 90 minutes filling almost 2 trucks. Professional work. Zero complaints.
Great service!!
From the moment Bob came to our parent's home, he made us feel comfortable and at ease during an incredibly stressful time. Due to medical issues and an out-of-state move, my sister and I needed help cleaning out their home, but didn't just want to toss everything away. We knew there were family pictures throughout…
Extremely helpful, effecent, caring, and willing to go above and expectations. I highly reccomend this service.
We love Junkluggers! My business has used it at least twice in the last year. We loved that they are very philanthropic! Donating items to non-profits and recycling when needed. Highly recommend them.
The crew was extremely polite and helpful. Easy to work with, fair price. I’d definitely work with them again in the future!
They were insanely fast with the removal, incredibly polite and the quote was exactly what I was expecting it to be. I will happily refer anyone to use this company, and will be using them in the future.
They were professional, courteous and on time. Worked very quick to get job done. Would definitely use again!
These guys were amazing! Very friendly and upfront. They made my elderly mother feel valued and respected through an otherwise stressful experience of clearing out decades worth of items. My family is so grateful to the guys at Junkluggers and plan to use them again when we have a need.
Jake and Kyle were on time, professional, courteous and very helpful! They quickly assessed our leftovers from an estate sale and gave us a great, fair price and getting it all gone. The whole job was done in less than an hour and we filled half the truck. Very nicely done! And knowing that it isn't just going to a landfill helps us all sleep better.
I highly recommend using JunkLuggers. They called and were able to come earlier and did an amazing job. They came and gave me a great quote and hauled my junk away. Very friendly gentleman and got the job done quick. Thank you again.
Had a bunch of old furniture, a dead grill and other general junk that needed to go. Junkluggers showed up for an on-site estimate. Pleasantly surprised that it came in less than the phone estimate! The crew were great to deal with and 20 minutes later I had my garage back. Thank you!
We used Junkluggers twice while cleaning out our parents’ home. We received excellent service both times. They were very friendly, professional, fast and careful. We were able to donate items through their service and couldn’t have completed the task without them. Bob, Kyle, David and Jenna were awesome!!
The crew showed up on time. The crew was very professional and helpful. I would use them again without hesitation.
Very professional friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend their services
We had a basement full of items given or left by loved ones. We needed to downsize/ rightsize but didn't want to rent a garbage bin and contribute to a landfill. Junkluggers to the rescue! They respectfully and thoroughly sorted our items (true junk versus items still of some value) and promptly carted it away. We couldn't be happier.
Excellent service and a one-stop shop for estate clean out services. What otherwise would have taken separate contractor services took but one. And best of all I didn't have to hire movers to take the furniture to Goodwill where I'd risk having items rejected. Junkluggers assumed that risk.for me. That alone made…
I had two guys come to my house (Dave and josh I believe) to pick up all the remaining items from a garage sale. They were kind, professional, prompt, and super speedy! Warm and friendly guys who explained everything and every step of the process. They even noted that if the amount of stuff totaled up to be LESS…
We will continue to use Junk Luggers. They are fantastic and courteous and extremely reasonably priced. They’ve gotten rid of a ton of furniture and general items and, best of all, they donate useable items and take the time to recycle other items. Since we are limited physically currently, this was a God send as we…
Bob and Jake went above and beyond to make the junk removal process easy and efficient. Highly recommend!
Josh and Dave were stellar! Very professional, fast and helpful! Definitely recommend Junkluggers!
Josh and David were great! They were efficient, professional and polite! I had an old tv, sleeper couch and a grandfather’s clock that I no longer needed and they removed them with ease!! Thank you, Junkluggers!
Quick, efficient and friendly service. Josh was very personable, he explained the entire process during the free estimate. I needed a very heavy piano moved and the price here was half of the other estimate I received! All of the workers I met were friendly and seemed to enjoy their job. They were clean and all…
We needed to quickly remove the contents of my parents' crawl space before we were able to put their house on the market. We were surprised by how much junk had been stored under the house and soon realized that the project was more than we could take care of ourselves. I was able to get an appointment for the…
Bob and his entire team exceeded my very high expectations! Friendly, professional, thorough, honorable, detailed and systematic, are just a few adjectives that describe Junkluggers service! I needed my warehouse/office completely emptied. I contacted them on a Holiday weekend Friday and Saturday afternoon the job…
