Columbus Carpet Disposal and Recycling

old carpet removalBuying a new carpet might come down to a question of how fast you respond to spills. You can buy a high grade carpet that will last a lot longer but you’ve got to stay on top of keeping it clean. That means frequent vacuuming and immediately treating any stain

For a person who is trying to maintain their carpet’s appearance, here are some considerations when buying new carpets.

First, Do you have pets or small children and are you able to keep up on the housework. For example, do you or your housekeeper vacuum regularly. Also, do you respond to accidents on your carpets promptly? If the answer is yes to both questions, you should consider buying higher grades of carpets (more fiber content per square foot). With proper care, the higher grades of carpets should last longer and provide a better return on your investment. If the answers above were no, a higher grade carpet will probably not last very long and you might want to look at lesser grades of carpets.

Sculpted carpets (carpets with high low patterns) are quite attractive but should be used in rooms that are not high use rooms. These types of carpets will show wear patterns quicker due to the high low nature of the fibers. The high spots do not have the support of neighboring fibers and will get worn down to the level of the low fibers resulting in a visible wear pattern.

Berber carpets are also quite attractive but once again should be considered for rooms that are not high useage. A Berber carpet, by the nature of its weave, is hard to clean when dirt gets into its fibers. Also, they can unravel if the loops get damaged (cats or dogs scratching can create damaged loops) and the less expensive Bebers tend to show wear patterns quicker.

So when you finally decide on the type of carpet you want to install, how do you handle getting rid of and hauling off that old carpet?  After ripping it off the floor that carpet can take up a ton of space in your basement or attic and end up collecting dust or becoming a home for insects and animals.  It’s best to haul it out of your home as soon as possible. However, it’s difficult to simply place that carpet in the back of your car;  your car might not be able to safely fit it and it also could potentially damage your vehicle.

Your best option is with Junk King Columbus, a company that can efficiently  haul off your carpet or any other old junk items you have lying around your home.  Not only that, but they’ll do so in an eco-friendly manner, always recycling whatever items they can in order to keep your neighborhood green.

Columbus Home Clean Outs & Trash Outs

Columbus Home CleanoutsWe are finally crawling out of the severe foreclosure crisis that has touched every community in the country. Columbus certainly wasn’t spared. In an effort to have a clean slate, the Ohio Housing Finance Agency is supervising the demolition of nearly 5,000 vacant and abandoned homes located throughout the state. To accomplish this huge undertaking the state was granted $60 million from the Save the Dream Ohio project funds. This might seem like an extreme measure with regard to dealing with foreclosed homes but it can actually help stabilize property values by clearing out homes that are considered a blight in a neighborhood. That is good news for the current homeowners. It might also be a golden opportunity for potential buyers.

The banks and lending institutions that own those homes would much rather have them sold then flattened. To accomplish that task it would take a bit of hard renovating work but it’s certainly easy to get done especially when you can partner with a junk removal service like Junk King Columbus. These are the clean out experts who have seen it all when it comes to junk removal. A home that has been abandoned might look like it is one its last legs but a lot of that is just cosmetic. First, get rid of the trash and junk then you’ll be able to get the renovation work done.

Junk King loves to handle foreclosure cleanouts. When the order is given to “take it all away” the Junk King crew will make short work of having that home cleared out. They can also do the same with regard to taking away trash and debris from front and back lawns. It’s amazing how a simple cleanup from Junk King can transform a property.

There are other instances where Junk King has helped homeowners manage estates. If someone in your family is downsizing into a smaller place, then hiring Junk King to clean up the home and get it ready for the market is going to be a big burden off your shoulders.

It stands to reason that if you’re hiring Junk King to help with your real estate endeavors they can certainly help with your own home. Fall is a great season to clear the clutter from your home as you get yourself prepared for the upcoming holidays. Whether you’ll be throwing a Halloween party or having out of town guests for Christmas you want to make sure you home is in good shape. Junk King can help you get there.

Columbus Attic Junk Removal

Columbus Attic CleanupIn the game of hide and seek, an attic is a terrific place to hide. There have even been recent local cases where suspects have escaped police custody and hid in an apartment building attic. Hopefully, you won’t be surprised by something like that up in your attic but there could be other things lurking there that you should be aware of. Fuzzy critters like squirrels and raccoons like to burrow into an attic from the outside and make it their home. If your attic has suffered from years of neglect it might be time to call in Junk King North Columubus. They’ll be able to help you remove all your stuff and get that attic cleaned out from floor to ceiling.

Junk King are pros when it comes to junk hauling. Yes, you should hire professional junk removal experts because you want to make sure the job is done right and done on time. This is especially true if you’re clearing out an attic. That’s going to mean a lot of traveling up and down stairs with potentially heavy items. You want a work crew that is trained, certified and insured. That’s just what you’ll be getting when you hire Junk King for your removal project. All you need is the junk and Junk King will handle the rest.

As soon as you get your attic clear of all that unwanted stuff you could convert that space into something a bit more practical than a storage locker. Why not a home officer or arts and craft studio? If you’ve got siblings sharing rooms then moving one of the kids up into the attic could avoid a lot of future battles. Even if you want to create a quiet space where you can have a moment of peace the attic is the perfect spot. First you have to get rid of that junk.

Of course, getting rid of junk in the rest of your home should also be a priority. With Junk King on the job, there is no end to what you can finally get rid of. Now is the opportunity to remove all that stuff from your garage that has been keeping your from parking you car in there. Like your attic, a garage is another space that you can convert into a secondary purpose like a workout room or guest room for visiting relatives. One call to Junk King will convince you that these are the pros you should be hiring to clean up your home. Call them today and you can be junk free in no time!

Columbus Concrete Disposal and Recycling

There’s always a lot of fun with a groundbreaking ceremony. Perhaps “fun” isn’t quite the right word to use but depending on the situation a groundbreaking ceremony can draw a lot of attention to a particular construction project. Hopefully, the groundbreaking ceremony isn’t just a ceremony and there is actual work being done. You can tell the difference by who attends the ceremony. Yes, there should be plenty of officials and fundraisers but what you really want to look for are the construction crews standing by waiting for the ceremony to finish. Recently, there was a terrific groundbreaking ceremony held over in Driving Park. This was for a new library and construction is well under way. The good news is that this is the first of 10 libraries that will be getting new buildings or renovations in the Columbus Metropolitan area.

All this talk of groundbreaking begs the question, “What construction projects are you planning around your home?” One of the most common projects for the summer is to repave a driveway or sidewalk. It is best to get that concrete poured, dried and settled before winter comes along. If this sounds like a job you’re considering then you’re going to need to make room for that new concrete by tearing up the old concrete. As home DIY projects go this is not that complicated. You can rent a jackhammer to bust up the cement and a pickax to finish the job. If you hire Junk King Columbus the job really will be finished after you bust up the cement. That’s because Junk King will be the crew who will take away all that concrete and make sure it is disposed of properly. You won’t have to lift a chunk!

The fact is that you’re not going to be able to throw out pieces of concrete in your weekly garbage pickup because of weight restrictions. There are no such restrictions with Junk King. They’ll send over a crew and truck capable of taking away any amount of concrete. Once that cement is loaded up, the Junk King Columbus crew can also toss on any other bulky item you want to get rid of. This is a perfect opportunity to finally move out old furniture, appliances or mattresses. It can all go on the same truck.

When the truck is loaded, the Junk King Columbus crew will be heading out to the nearest recycling facility. That applies to the concrete and the rest of your junk. Even though it might mean making a couple of stops, that won’t be a problem for Junk King. Before you tear up your driveway, make sure you’ve got Junk King on standby.

Columbus Debris Removal

Just when you thought it was safe to go out into the backyard, there is an invader creeping through Columbus OH gardens. No, we’re not talking about gophers but about Heracleum mantegazzianum, otherwise known as the giant hogweed. By giant we mean a weed that can grow as tall as 15 feet. It can also cause your skin to burn and might even lead to blindness if that pollen gets in your eye. Because of the danger, local authorities have gotten involved with taken down the weeds. If you find some of these weeds cropping up in your backyard you might try blasting them with weed killers or throwing a plastic garbage bag over them and starving them out of sunlight and rain.

Weeds aren’t the only problems you could be experiencing with your gardens. There could come a time when your soil isn’t doing what it should be. The best recourse for bad soil is to replace it with good soil. That’s going to mean a lot of digging on your part. It’s also going to mean piles of dirt springing up. Dirt is not something you can get rid of easily. You can’t throw it out with the rest of your trash because of weight restrictions. You can’t load it up in your own car because, well, it’s dirt! The best way to get rid of dirt is to hire Junk King Columbus.

Although their main focus is on professional junk removal, Junk King can take away all kinds of things you want to get rid of including piles of dirt. You can add to that pieces of sod, chunks of patio concrete, fallen tree limbs, tool sheds, play sets, sandboxes and even a hot tub. All it takes is one call to Junk King to put your removal project into motion.

How will Junk King Columbus pull off this job? They’re going to be providing you with a two-man crew who will be doing all the heavy lifting. That crew will also be arriving for the removal appointment with the right tools. In the case of dirt removal, that would be a couple of shovels and a wheel barrel. They’ll also have a truck large enough to contain whatever you’re throwing out. In the case of dirt removal, the crew will have bins to hold that dirt until they’re able to drop it off at the proper disposal center.

Along with your yard waste, that same Junk King crew can also cart off all the oversized items you’ve been keeping in storage. What could you fill a truck up with? Furniture? Toys? Clothes? Appliances? Auto parts? A pool table? Whatever you want gone, the Junk King crew will handle it. Give them a shout today to schedule a junk hauling appointment. You’ll be glad you did!

Columbus Junk Removal Reviews

There are a lot of services provided by a city like Columbus. Among them are pickup items for oversized pieces. To get an appointment is to go through the standard level of red tape and telephone prompts. After all of that, there is no guarantee that the city workers will be able to do what you want. There is a limit to what they can take away and how much. That’s what one Junk King customer found out as he started his remodeling job:

“I want compliment your company and especially the crew, Martin and Eric, who worked for me. I am downsizing and doing some home improvements. I had accumulated a number of household items and had scheduled a bulk pickup from Columbus City Refuse Deptartment. That was scheduled for Oct. 20. Today, Oct. 18, contractors began work and I realized they would generate construction debris that would not be accepted for bulk pickup. I found Junk King Columbus, called and was scheduled for an estimate in about 2 hours. A few minutes before they arrived, I got a call saying they were on their way. Eric introduced himself, took an look at the quantity of stuff and gave me a quote, he said they could begin right then. His crew worked quickly and efficiently to load the truck. I could not be more satisfied. Both contractors working for me were impressed as well and asked for business cards. In the end, I was able to cancel the refuse pickup from the city.”

That’s just a typical day for Junk King Columbus. Customers who have never used our services discover how easy it is to finally get rid of tons of junk. Take concrete, for instance. As that reviewer discovered, there is a weight limit with regard to municipal pickups. You might think you can break up concrete and put it in your trashcan but if it’s too heavy it’s going to stay on the curb. Then what?

Junk King doesn’t charge by weight. Instead they charge by the amount of space your junk will take up on their truck and they have truck packing down to a science.  The reason why customers love Junk King Columbus is due to that efficient service.  You don’t even need to drag items down to the curb –  simply point and the experienced crew will haul the items from where they stand.

Keep in mind that Junk King also won’t turn away your items for pickup. Unless it is deemed a true hazardous waste, anything can go on the back of the JK truck. The crew is capable of dismantling, unhooking and breaking down just about anything. Even if you have a tool shed that has collapses in the last local storm, the Junk King crew can pile up all those scraps and insure they will be taken away and disposed of the right way. When cleaning your home fast is at stake, you don’t want to leave anything to chance.

Columbus Debris Removal

Do you know what’s going on behind the scenes at local Columbus restaurants? It doesn’t take a lot of snooping to find out. That’s because all inspection reports are to made open for the public. Here are some recent “issues” found around the Columbus area eateries:

Wendy’s violations: A buildup of dust was observed on the fans in the walk-in cooler. Food particles were observed on the floor in the walk-in freezer, making the floor sticky.

Kindercare Center violations: A buildup of food particles was observed in the microwave. Grease was observed around the knobs of the oven.

Pink Cricket Restaurant violations: A buildup of dust and dirt was observed on the ceiling and walls by the fryers and pizza oven. Dirt and mold were observed on the floor around the toilet in the downstairs restroom.

Have you noticed the common theme? It would be dirt and debris. What would happen if those same inspectors would make a tour of your home? Could you stand up to the white glove test?

Have a safe and happy Red, White and Boom

In a few days the solstice will come, marking the longest day of the year and the official start of summer. Before long the 4th of July will roll around and with it Red, White and BOOM! While trying to overcome the writer’s block of sitting down and writing this message I decided to look around and found a few neat articles that I wanted to share with you all.

This first one is an article of tips for taking good photographs of fireworks with a mobile phone, I’d assume they’d apply to digital cameras and other night photography as well. As a matter of fact, I bet those techniques would be applicable to other nighttime summer activities like the Perseid meteor shower (that’s a link to the NASA tool that estimates the number of shooting stars per hour based on your location) every year in August but usually peaking around the 12th).

Here is a link for those of you planning a visit to Red White and BOOM! (the event’s homepage).

If you haven’t had a chance, make sure to visit the Scioto Mile, at the south end of the park is a nice new restaurant and fountains (complete with lifeguards!) where you can go splash in the water to cool off.

Columbus Ohio Air Conditioner Disposal

Summer is nearly upon us and if last year is any indication it’s going to be another scorcher. Will your old air conditioner be up to the challenge of keeping you cool? If it’s time for a new model then you know just the type of AC unit to swap out. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t rethink you’re cooling scheme.

One of the most popular types of air conditioners is a portable unit that can easily be rolled from room to room. This is perfect for someone who doesn’t want to cool down an entire home where only one or two rooms are being used. A portable AC is great to park by the kitchen when your oven is going full tilt.

As you go shopping for that new air conditioner you want to pay attention to the label when it comes to the refrigerants. What you want to look for is the eco-friendly R410A refrigerant. The other types aren’t illegal but they are being phased out. Don’t get stuck with a polluter!

When it comes to capacity the following is a good guideline to follow:

  • Small room: 5,000 – 6,000 BTU for 100-300 sq. ft.
  • Medium room: 7,000 – 8,200 BTU for 250-550 sq. ft.
  • Large room: 9,800 to 12,500 BTU’s for 350-950 sq. ft. area.

Now that you have all that info, what will you do with that old AC? This is not something you can put out on the curb and hope someone will take it away. In fact, you might not even be able to lift it without help. Junk King Columbus is standing by to provide that help. These are the junk removal specialists who will have no trouble removing your old AC whether that is built into your wall, sitting on your window or is an external unit.

The Junk King Columbus crew will load up your old unit on the back of their truck and make sure it is taken to a certified recycling center. Air conditioners are like fridges and e-waste. They have to be taken apart and drained of harmful chemicals. Don’t worry about that getting done right. With Junk King on the job, they’ll get it done right every time.

As long as Junk King is taking away your AC, why not put them to work removing the rest of your unwanted junk. If it’s easy for the Junk King Columbus crew to take out that AC then removing old furniture, large appliances, boxes of trash and any other bulky item won’t be a problem. Call Junk King today and cool down in a home free of junk.
