“The best and easiest moving company I have dealt with”
Shaq and the crew were very great with moving. They put everything where it needed to go and were very fast and efficient. Probably the best and easiest moving company I've dealt with.
Clear-outs
Junk removal on Long Island
Junk removal is the crew doing the carrying and the hauling. You point at what goes, it comes out of the basement or the garage or the curb, and the truck takes it. One couch or an entire house.
One item or the whole house
The smallest version of this is a single piece: a mattress the town will not take at the curb, a sectional that will not fit down the new stairs, an old refrigerator in the garage. The largest is a full clear-out where the crew works room by room until the house is empty and swept.
Most jobs sit in between. Basements, garages, attics and sheds are where things pile up quietly for years, and those are usually the rooms people want gone before a move, a renovation or a listing.
Sorting before hauling
Furniture, clothing, housewares and working appliances in decent shape can go to donation rather than a dump. That is worth doing on estate and downsizing jobs in particular, where family has already taken what they want and the rest is still perfectly usable.
Set aside anything you are unsure about before the crew starts. Once a basement is being emptied it moves fast, and a box of paperwork or photos is easy to lose in the flow. Marking the keep pile with tape or a note is enough.
Before or after the move, or instead of one
Clearing out before packing means you pay to move less and unpack less, which is the single easiest way to bring a moving estimate down. Clearing out after is common too: the new place turns out to have less closet space than the old one, or the buyer wants the basement empty at closing.
Plenty of these jobs have no move attached at all. A landlord turning over a unit, a parent's house being prepared for sale, a garage being reclaimed for actual cars.
What we cannot take
Some things have to be disposed of through the right channel, not the back of a truck: paint, solvents, motor oil, gasoline, propane tanks, pesticides, asbestos, medical waste and ammunition among them. Tires, some electronics and certain appliances have their own handling rules as well. Mention these at quote time so nothing surprises anyone on the day.
On Long Island
What this looks like around here
Cleanouts here mean basements, detached garages, attics with pull-down stairs, and sheds that have not been opened in a decade. Bulk pickup rules vary town to town and plenty of items will not go at the curb at all, which is usually what sends people looking for a truck and a crew instead.
Questions
Junk Removal, answered
Do I need to bring everything outside first?
No. The crew goes wherever the stuff is, including basements and attics. If it is already at the curb that is fine too, it just makes for a quicker job.
How is junk removal priced?
By how much room it takes in the truck, plus anything that needs special disposal. You get the number before the crew starts loading, not after.
Will you donate things instead of dumping them?
Where an item is in usable shape and a local organization will take it, yes. Tell us at the walkthrough if there is something specific you would rather see donated.
Should I rent a dumpster instead?
If you want to work at your own pace over several days, a dumpster is usually the better fit. If you want it out today and you would rather not carry any of it, junk removal is.
