Hiring a Junk Remover: Essential Tips to Consider

When hiring junk removers, it's important to note that not all junk removers are the same. You'll find companies that are cheap, some that use the best junk removal tools (and some that don't) and you'll find some that charge an arm and a leg. The key, is finding a quality junk remover that you feel comfortable with and does a job that is up to or exceed your expectations. To do this, we've listed the top factors to keep in mind when looking to hire a junk remover.

Pro Tip:

We sought advice from Tile Removal Tech, a leader in the tile removal industry, on choosing a reliable junk removal company. They emphasized the importance of selecting a company that is licensed and insured, ensuring that any potential damages or accidents are covered. They also recommended looking for companies that have transparent pricing and a strong commitment to environmentally responsible disposal practices.

Ask for Junk Remover Referrals

One of the first few places to start when you're looking to hire junk removers is your friends, neighbors and co-workers. You'll want to ask them if they know of a junk removal company that they have hired before that they would recommend or refer.

If you have a specific issue with your junks, like poor processes, you can ask for referrals of junk removal companies that they know of that have helped them with their poor processes or whatever other issue you are having (ie. poor quality recyclables, pest infestation, segregation of garbage, garbage litter, etc.)

Pro Tip:

Reviews of Junk Removers

After checking out references that you received for junk removers, you'll want to check online reviews. You should be able to find online reviews for just about any junk remover in your local area. This can very helpful, but can also be overwhelming and misleading at times. Here are a few guidelines to help you as you sift through all of the reviews:

An overwhelmingly positive or negative review of a junk remover could be a sign of a fake review- so take that into considerations.

Make a special note of junk removers that have received a great deal of reviews. A lot of reviews combined with 4.5 to 5 stars is a big sign that the junk removal company got those legitimately.

Keep an eye out for reviews that compare their experience with other junk removers. Giving these details adds validity to the reviewer who has actually hired a local junk remover.

Here are a few examples of valid reviews of junk removers:

"I have used this company for removal twice and was completely satisfied both times. I also had this company install a new water heater in my home last December. Professional and courteous people working for this company. Would use their services again if needed. A little pricey but everything these days are."

"AJ was the first to respond and was ready to run over right away before starting his day if I had wanted him to. He told me how he has done this for years. His price was very fair, too. Give him your business."

"These golks went above and beyond in my opinion to do more than what was expected and in record time. They were efficient and hard working no mater what i asked them to do . Highly recommend this business."

Pro Tip:

Junk Remover References

Once you have gathered referrals and checked online reviews of the junk removal companies, you want to call the company directly and ask them for at least 2 recent references. These should be from customers they have completed work for within the past month. Also, you can ask for references for specific issues like poor quality recyclables, poor processes, pest infestation, garbage litter, segregation of garbage or just general junk issues. Here are some questions you could ask the junk removers' references:

What work did the junk remover do for you? A small junk issue or big junk issue will give you insight as to the scale of the project. Was it for pest infestation, segregation of garbage, poor quality recyclables, garbage litter, poor processes or just general junk issues?

Did the junk remover provide a contract with details of the work? Did they provide what methods will be used, possible issues, etc.

How was the staff that completed the junk removal work? Professional, clean, friendly? Ask about the things that you care about.

Was the junk removal work completed per the agreed upon budget?

How were the junk removers results? Did they meet or exceed your expectations?

Would you hire the junk remover again?

Pro Tip:

Always make sure the junk removal company is using the proper tools and a specialized junk removal software that is custom to the industry. Servgrow is a popular software among junk removal companies.

Licensed and Insured Junk Removal Company

When hiring a junk remover, that last think you want to do is hire one that is not a legitimate business and has no license and insurance. Just because you know that junk removal companies should be licensed, bonded and insured, don't take this for granted.

Junk Removers that do not have a license will most likely try to cut corners because they understand that they are not as accountable for their work. In fact, it's illegal for them to operate without a license.

Professional junk removal companies will have no problem showing you all the necessary documents, licenses and insurance to operate their business.
