Make Your 2015 Resolution for Columbus Junk Removal

Is this the year you’re finally going to do it? That “it” in question would be whatever New Year’s resolution you made. It could be losing twenty-pounds or eating better. Most of our resolutions are all about replacing a bad habit with a good habit. It takes a little effort but once you manage to kick that bad habit you’ll wonder why it took you so long to feel so good. The same can be said for clearing out the junk around your home. Just what is taking you so long to tackle that project? Could it be a lack of manpower and truck space? Those two things are easy to come by when you hire Junk King.

REQUEST - Garage Clutter - Landscape

Junk King Columbus is part of a national chain of professional junk haulers who have been in business since 2005. In those 10 years, they have set the standard for this type of service. Although there are many imitators, there is only one “king.” When you call to set up your junk removal appointment with Junk King, you’ll be asked about what you want hauled away. You don’t have to get into specific details but just provide a sense of how big the job might be. There is a huge difference between clearing out some old boxes and cleaning out an entire home. Both can be handled by Junk King but if you need extra hands, we’ll make sure you get them. Most jobs can easily be accomplished by the standard two-man Junk King crew.

Junk King will schedule your appointment around a time that works best for your schedule. Once they arrive on the scene, you’ll show them all the objects you want to disappear. Remember, you don’t have to lift a single stick of furniture or one box. The Junk King team is going to do all the work. After they’ve sized up the amount of junk you’re getting rid of, they’ll present you with an estimate that is based on volume. You won’t be charged by the pound and that’s a good thing! When you agree to that estimate, the crew will get busy with the lifting and the loading. In no time at all, you’ll be able to survey a home that is junk free. Get this year started right with a junk removal appointment from Junk King.

Feel Safe With Your Columbus Junk Removal Team

Depending on where you live, you might be visited by a roaming work crew who is eager to provide you with a new driveway. These are actually gypsies who make a living going from town to town, knocking on doors to drum up business for their asphalt paving companies. Although they might do a decent job, there is a lot to be leery about with these types of workers. First of all, there is no way they can guarantee their work. When they are done, they will be gone and you’ll have no way of getting in contact with them. Secondly, there is no chance to check any references or see other jobs they performed. Plus, there is a good chance that the low price they quote you at the beginning of the job is going to drastically change when the job is over. This is not the way to hire a worker. You should stick with the professionals no matter what type of job you need accomplished.

Columbus Junk Removal Services – Back To School 2014

“Old school” back to school shopping often meant crowding into the nearest office supply or drug store on the first day of school. This often made these stores look like “black Friday” as families rush to stock up the backpacks. Today, schools have gotten a lot more sophisticated. Lists of needed supplies are emailed out weeks ahead of the first day. A savvy shopper can click around with that list and have everything bought online and delivered within a couple of days. Job done. High school bound kids could also benefit from advance emails by getting a lot of reading accomplished before that first day. You might also discover that many schools welcome laptops in the classroom. This is actually a good thing because the job your kid will eventually land will no doubt involve computers. The more they can use them for study, the better off they’ll be down the road.

Don’t Turn Your Columbus Home Into A Storage Unit

Most professional organizers will tell you that if you haven’t used something in a year, you should throw it out. This probably has more to do with clothes and shoes than with anything else. However, it is a good approach to take when sorting through all the stuff in your home’s storage unit zones. You only use holiday decorations once a year but you’ll want to keep those unless they’re all busted up. Over the years, there might have been a surge in appliance gifts that have resulted in multiple blenders, toasters and juicers. If those things are still in their box sitting in the garage then you should think about re-gifting or getting rid of.

closet-clutter-monster-1329506-m

Then there is the category of plain old junk. This would be things like a broken tennis racket, a chair with no seat, children toys that are torn up or a mattress that no one would ever sleep on again. If you’re holding onto those kinds of objects, then you are turning your home into a storage unit. That can be avoided with a single call to Junk King.

With Junk King on the job, you won’t have to lift a finger… literally.

Removing things like boxes, furniture and other bulky items will be easy for the Junk King crew. If you have some pieces that require a bit more finesse, that won’t be a problem either.

We’ve even been called on to remove dry wall, pull up carpet and take down fencing. If it is junk, then give it to Junk King.
