Return customer! I continue to love their level of communication, efficiency and professionalism. We have ranged from bigger loads (one truck full) to smaller loads (1/8 truck) and both levels of service were great!

The two men who came, Rick, and Julius ( I believe was his name), were just great. Kind, efficient and really just more than one might wish for. Especially when having things you’ve had for many years taken away. Highly recommended !!!

I had the best experience with Junk Smiths. They were communicative, on time, professional, kind and courteous. They reviewed all the pieces I had and offered a very fair price for removal. They were cautious when moving items out of the house, and swept up after moving items from the outside yard area. Easy to pay…
