Cool Off By Clearing the Clutter In Your Houston Home

What are you doing from 11 AM to 4 PM? If you’re in Houston when the temperature starts percolating then you better be indoors during those hours. That’s the peak time when the sun blazes the brightest and the heat radiates unrelentingly. There are some unfortunate Houston workers who won’t be able to avoid being out during those peak heat hours. Their best hope is for staying cool with lots of water or light clothing. The occasional Popsicle doesn’t hurt either!

If you’re smart you’ll stay out of that mid-afternoon heat and keep inside where your air conditioner is keeping things cool. Although most folks in Houston keep their air conditioners at 74°, anywhere between 72° and 78° is a good zone to be in. If you know a heat wave is coming Houston’s way then you should get the AC cranking the day before. This way your unit won’t be playing catch-up with all the heat that’s trapped inside the house. If you haven’t changed your filter on your air conditioning this season then you better make the switch. Air conditioning filters should be changed at the beginning of every summer season. In Houston where the ACs runs year-round, those filters should be swapped out every 5 to 6 months and should be fully serviced every two years.

There are some folks that prefer the old method of letting ceiling fans or table fans do the cooling off work. It certainly a more affordable option than keeping the AC running around the clock. Whether you have fans or an air conditioner going it’s essential that the air flow in your home is unblocked. Even when you point a fan directly at your body and blast away you’re still doing a disservice to the rest of the home if that air is not allowed to circulate. One of the best things you could do to help with that air flow is to reduce the amount of clutter in your home. To tackle that assignment it’s best to call Junk King Houston.

Junk King has teams of professional junk haulers standing by to cart away all the clutter that’s taking up space in your home. Because these are experienced movers you don’t have to worry about “overheating” them. They’ll know how to stay cool with frequent breaks.

Now, you might be asking yourself “do I have to pay for those breaks?” Actually you don’t! With Junk King your charge by the amount of space taken up in the truck not by how long it’s going to take to load up that truck. If you take up less room you pay less. If you take up more room then you only pay what the estimate was. When it comes to clearing out the clutter to stay cool you’re not going to find a better bargain anywhere in Houston!

Houston Apartment Junk Hauling

We all live in some kind of neighborhood but do you really know your neighbors? Too often we can spend years in our homes without ever getting to know the people who are literally living next door. This is especially true if you are living in an apartment complex where your neighbors are extremely close to you at least in terms of geography. You might occasionally hear what’s going on in your neighbor’s apartment but that doesn’t mean you really know them. That’s a shame because being friends with your neighbor is what builds that sense of community. It’s also beneficial to have neighbors looking out for each other. Wouldn’t it be great to have a trusted neighbor looking over your place, collecting your mail or watering your plants if you went away? What about feeding the cat or taking care of the dog? A good neighbor would be happy to handle that. But first you have to get to know them.

A good neighbor relationship begins with a simple conversation. You’ll first meet at the mailbox or coming up and down the steps. Break the ice by introducing yourself. Once that “hurdle” has been overcome you can take it to the next level by inviting your neighbor over for a cup of tea or coffee. If this neighbor has lived there for some time you can get the 411 on the rest of the complex. It might be that you’re the “historian” of the apartment building and you can provide the info on the other tenants.

If your apartment building shares a common courtyard or swimming pool then it’s a lot easier to meet the neighbors. You could organize an official meet and greet on a weekend afternoon. A sign-up sheet in the laundry room is the perfect way to get people to RSVP. If you make the event some form of pot luck you can also find out who are the budding bakers and chefs in the complex! You don’t have to wait for a holiday to throw this type of party. Any warm weekend will do!

Another way to bond with your neighbors is to sponsor an event which would be of mutual benefit to everyone. That would be hiring a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Houston to make themselves available to help clear out the clutter of everyone’s apartment. A professional junk hauling crew would show up with a big empty truck in need of filling up. They can then make the rounds of anyone’s apartment that might have something they want taken away. It could be just as easy for everyone to gather their junk in the courtyard or driveway of the building but that defeats the purposed of hiring those pros from Junk King. Let them walk up and down the stairs with that stuff! Nothing brings neighbors together like bonding over throwing out the trash!

Houston Grill Disposal and Recycling

Are you ready for summer? If you have kids they’re probably chomping at the bit to finish with school and start their summer the right way: sleeping in and hanging out. This means heading outdoors even if outdoors is just out in the backyard. If you’ve got a swimming pool then you’ll probably already know how popular your backyard will become during the summer months. Spending more times outside also means having the opportunity to grill up some very tasty meals. Is it time for a new grill? If you’re old grill has taken a beaten during the winter then you might want to kick in for a new unit that will make cooking outdoors fun, safe and satisfying.

First, you have think about just how much grill space you need. If you’ve got a gang with Fred Flintstone like appetites that appreciate a ginormous rack of ribs then clearly you’ll need an expansive grill. But the bigger the grill the more there is to manage. Are you planning on moving the grill around the patio? If so, then compact might be better.

You also have to think about the kind of meals you’ll be cooking on your grill. If you’ve got a true gourmet chef in the family then perhaps you want a few more bells and whistles like a stove top burner, bun steamer or rotisserie. On the other hand, if it’s all about burgers, dogs and steaks then you can save money and get a basic model to cover your needs.

Do a little research. For instance, porcelain coated cast iron grates are a better pick for searing meat than the common steal grate. They are also more expensive. While stainless steel is the “go-to” material used for most grills, it’s also the one that might discolor over time. Grill makers have started using other materials in their manufacturing process that might be a better bet for an object which is going to spend most of its life outdoors.

As with anything in your backyard or home, safety is also a crucial factor when it comes to buying a grill. If you’re in the store looking over a shiny new model, imagine all the kids who might be running around that grill. Are there sharp corners? Would this grill topple over too easily if bumped into? How easy is it to swap out the fuel source? What is the handle situation like on the hood?

Before you move in a new grill you’ll have to get rid of the old one. This is not something you can donate or put out on the curb. The best way to dispose of an old grill is the same method for getting rid of any bulky item: hire the professional junk haulers at Junk King Houston. They can pop your grill right up onto the back of their truck with no fuss. At the same time they can upload anything else you want to clear out. The start of your summer grill season begins with a call to those professional junk haulers.

Houston Appliance Disposal

When we pay good money for a piece of equipment we want it to last. That holds true for something as small as an iPod and as big as an SUV. While it is true that we live in a disposable society, that doesn’t mean we have to throw something out the minute it breaks. With a little upkeep and repair know how you can get the most out of your kitchen appliances. Houston Authorized Repair recently offered up some very helpful hints for keeping your kitchen equipment humming.

For instance, if you have an oven with a self-cleaning cycle you might want to avoid pushing that button before a big deal. The most common time for ovens to break down is when that cycle is activated. This would apply to older models. You’re probably better off going “old school” with some Easy Off or other type of oven cleaner to make sure you’re not putting too much strain on that old stove.

Over with the dishwasher, you should occasionally consider running an empty cycle with a cup of white vinegar instead of detergent. This will remove odors and buildup in the machine. And if you have something that might not be “dishwasher safe” don’t risk it; wash it by hand. To keep your garbage disposal smelling fresh, toss in some ice cubes and citrus peels then run it with cold water for 30 seconds. After that keep running the cold water for a few moments.

Your refrigerator could stand with a little vacuuming. First, unplug the unit. Then use your vacuum to remove any dust bunnies from the coils in the back. Not only will this improve the chances of your fridge running longer, it will also help with your electric bills because it will improve the energy output.

Of course, even with all this TLC there are some appliances that just won’t make the grade anymore. These are those items that you’ve cleaned, patched and fixed up as best as you can but they’re simply out of steam. When that happens, it’s time to buy new. Fortunately, you’ll be in for a treat when you go shopping for a new dishwasher, stove or fridge. That’s because the new design models have come with a lot of special features such as touch-pad programmable cycles. Yes, computers have taken over the kitchen but that’s a good thing!

After you’ve picked out your new big gadget, you’ll need to make arrangements to get rid of those older dinosaurs. That can be taken care of when you hire a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Houston. A crew like that will be able to unhook and unplug any major appliance and move it out of your kitchen in a blink. While they are at it they can also take away any other bulky item you’re ready to toss out. It might just be time for a good ol’ fashioned “out with the old and in with the new” routine!

Houston Basement Junk Removal

If there is one thing that most Houston residents will agree about it is their basements: They don’t have any! It is extremely rare to find a home in Houston with a basement. There are several reasons for this. First of all, the soil around many Houston homes is more sand than compact dirt and that sand is not the best condition for digging deep and building upon. Secondly, there is the water level issue. Houston, like most of Texas, is situated on a water table that is below sea level. When the rains come, basements flood. Bottom line, you’ll be hard pressed to find a Houston basement in the traditional sense of the word. But there are plenty of “Texas basements” to be found throughout the city.

Instead of going underground, think of a Texas basement as any storage space above ground like an attic or spare room above a garage. And just like a traditional basement, these spaces often end up becoming the storage depot for the entire family. Here is where the unused clothes, the fried computers and bulky boxes go to live. The question is are you making the best use of your Texas basement?

There are some attics which can only fit a few boxes piled on top of planks that cover insulation. But if you can stand up in your attic without clunking your head on the rafters, then you might be able to put that room to a better use than as a storage locker. This also holds true for that room above the garage. Could you use a guest room? Do you need to give one of your kids their own bedroom to cut back on the sibling squabbles? Maybe you’ve been thinking of starting your own home business and need an office. Any one of those needs could be satisfied by converting your Texas basement into a usable space but first you have to get rid of all that junk. One call to a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Houston will do the trick.

These professional junk haulers will show up at your home with the muscle and truck space required to haul off anything you want to toss out. There’s probably a lot of junk that can finally be tossed away up in your Texas basement but you don’t have to stop there. As long as you’ve got a crew and truck to fill up, why not fill it up with everything that is meant for the dumpster. Maybe you can’t use your attic for a home office but you could probably get plenty of use out of your garage if you get rid of all that clutter. Whatever you decide is important to keep, get it up off the floor and onto some durable shelves. There are some folks who have taken their garage conversions seriously by removing the huge door and replacing it with a wall and windows.

Whether your Houston basement is a below ground or above ground type, you can get a lot of benefits from removing your junk with the help of Junk King Houston.

Recycling News in Houston

In an effort to inspire its citizens that it represents the Houston City Hall went from using no renewable energy to becoming one of the biggest buyers of green energy in the nation. This was accomplished in just under three years. A hallmark of their energy program was upgrading the motor pool to include 25 Nissan Leafs and 15 hybrids. This combination of electric and fuel-efficient vehicles has lowered the cost of gas allotments for city workers and has reduced the overall carbon footprint of City Hall.

Another program that is being instituted by the Houston city Council is placing bicycles throughout the downtown area that folks can borrow to get around the city. That’s good for the environment and for the peddlers’ health. There’s also going to be wind turbines installed on top of the city’s new permitting center. All of this is being accomplished thanks to an influx of federal stimulus dollars along with the mayor’s push to promote budget savings through better energy efficiency. Even though Houston has long been known as the city of big oil there’s no reason why it can also be the city of big green!

Have you been inspired by any of these programs? You might already be doing your part by recycling items like soda cans, newspapers, magazines and other household trash that can fit in a weekly recycle pickup bin. You don’t have to stop there! Your recycling can also encompass those bigger junk items you want to get rid of especially when you call upon Junk King Houston to provide a little helping hand assistance.

Ever since Junk King rolled into Houston they have been helping the local folks get rid of all their unwanted stuff and reclaim valuable space in their homes. What most folks don’t know is that Junk King is dedicated to environmentally friendly practices. Simply put, they’re going to do their darndest to make sure whatever trash they pick up doesn’t make it to a landfill. This is actually easily accomplished especially when you know where all the recycling facilities are located throughout the Houston area. While there are some big centers that specialize in recycling paper and aluminum there are other more specialized facilities that focus on other products. This is where items like your old furniture and kitchen appliances will end up.

Many folks who call upon the Junk King Houston are especially pleased at how professional their crews behave. The junk haulers have been trained to treat your home with the utmost respect. This means they’re going to make sure that your floors aren’t going to be scuffed up or the paint on your walls chipped. Junk King also respects your time and insures that their crew will show up for the scheduled appointment and not make you wait like some other services. The bottom line is that when it comes to recycling you can’t find any better partner than Junk King Houston!

Houston Scrap Metal Removal

Have you heard the term “brazen thief?” This is a crook that is only focused on making a score and doesn’t care where, when or how he’ll accomplish that task. Case in point: On March 28 at around 5 a.m. a thief stole a large metal bread rack from the loading dock of the Stop and Shop Goodwives Shopping Center. Then on April 4^th a second bread rack was stolen from the same place at around the same time. Coincidence or the work of a repeat offender? This comes on top of another robbery involving 400 pounds of copper wire. Clearly, there are some crooks out there targeting anything made of metal in the hopes of cashing in.

Scrap metal thievery is such a problem all across the country that many local governments are instituting special new regulations. Now in many states, anyone who sells scrap metal has to provide a state issued photo I.D. and fill out a form stating where the metal came from. This is meant to deter scrap metal thieves but it’s a huge pain for everyone else who isn’t breaking the law.

If you think that some of the scrap metal you have around your home might be worth some money, think again. To really score the big bucks you need a fairly decent amount of scrap metal. We’re talking a pickup truck full at least. Even with that much, it could cost you more in gas driving out to the closest junkyard. The better alternative is to hire professional junk haulers like Junk King Houston to come directly to your home or business and take away that metal without any hassle.

A pile of scrap metal is not something you can cram into the back of your SUV. Not only is it going to be hard to handle but there’s a pretty good chance it’s going to scratch up your car to no end. Junk King’s professional Houston junk hauling team will have a big enough truck to fit all you scrap metal and they don’t care if their truck gets scratched up. For them, every scratch means another job well done!

After filling up that truck with your scrap metal, ask yourself what else you have that can be taken away. This is a golden opportunity to clear your home of all kinds of junk. You can finally toss out that old armchair that nobody wants to sit in. Or that ping-pong table that nobody uses. Or those dumbbells that just got rusty waiting to be picked up. Whatever you consider junk is what can be tossed into the back of that truck. Not only will you be removing the temptation for a scrap metal thief but you’ll also be clearing up some vital space from your home. It’s a good call anyway you look at it!

Houston Spring Junk Removal

Spring is for fresh starts and that’s just what you should be giving your home: a fresh start. This can be accomplished with a serious spring cleaning. There are many professional maid or cleaning services which offer special discounts at this time of the year. Even though they know you might not hire them on a permanent basis, it still might be worth the investment on your part to have a crew of professional cleaners to give your house the once over.

What’s great about using these types of professionals is that they’ll bring their own supplies. All you really have to do is open the door and let them have at it. Come back a couple of hours later and your home will sparkle like it never has before. Of course, there are limitations with hiring a professional cleaning service. They are only going to throw out obvious trash; as in whatever is in a trash can. They don’t know what you consider junk or a treasure. Sure, you might have that broken piano dusted to a fine luster but it’s still broke and nobody plays it. Shouldn’t you get rid of junk like that as part of your spring cleaning? Absolutely and that’s where you’ll need to bring in more professionals: Junk King Houston.

Junk King is a Houston-based business that is part of a national franchise of professional junk haulers. These folks make clearing out your clutter their business and business has been very good! That’s because once Houstonites discovered that Junk King rode into town, they knew they had a willing partner for their junk removal. Here’s how it works: You call up Junk King Houston and tell them what you want removed. Once you agree on atime, you’ll set an appointment and Junk King will take it from there. Because “professional” is the operative word here, Junk King isn’t going to keep you waiting all day like the phone or cable company. They pride themselves on showing up just when they promise to.

Upon their arrival, all you have to do is show the Junk King crew what you want taken away and they’ll handle the rest. Now, you could make it easy on the crew and have all your junk piled up on in the driveway. While that’s nice, it’s not necessary. Junk King Houston’s workers have no trouble going into any room you tell them or up and down any flight of stairs. All they care about is filling up their truck. As soon as they’ve taken away everything you want gone, you’ll sign off on the job and that’s that. Junk King will then see to it that your junk is properly disposed of at one of the dumping or recycling centers around Houston. This is the best way to start your spring cleaning. Once the junk is gone, then bring in those professional cleaners and give them a go. The house will look like brand new!

Storm Debris Cleanup in Houston

Probably one of the most thankless jobs in Houston would be as a local weatherman. Either the weatherman gets it wrong or takes the blame. Either way folks need to understand that there are certain things out of the weatherman’s control. Even with all the fancy satellites tracking storms, Mother Nature will always have the last word. Recently it was predicted that rain would fall in the Houston area. It’s easy to make these kinds of predictions. What you can never tell is just how much rain will fall. Most of Texas has been in a drought for far too long so any rain is going to be welcomed on some level. But even a storm dumping 2 inches of rainfall could cause trouble for many local residents.

Rain is needed to make your garden grow and your grass stay green but excessive rain can also warp trees to the point of breaking. When a storm causes leaves and other debris to fall into street gutters then the sewers become backed up. Now all of that floating debris ends up in your front yard. There’s really nothing you can do about any of this. A storm will do what a storm wants to do.

There are some precautions that you can’t take to minimize the damage. For instance, keeping your own gutters clear will make sure that the water flowing off your roof has someplace to go as opposed to backing up and making your rafters waterlogged. If there’s a call for a fierce storm with heavy winds you might want to secure any patio furniture you had in the backyard so that it won’t blow away.

As soon as the storm clears the cleanup effort can begin. In extreme cases trees that have been knocked down will have to be removed by professional workmen. This is especially true if there are fallen power lines involved in the situation. That’s not something you want to be messing with. As for all the other debris that might have floated into your yard you could take the time to clean it yourself which could be a backbreaking endeavor. The better option is to call Junk King Houston and let them handle the job.

Junk King is a Houston-based hauling company that makes junk removal their business. No job is too big or too small for a Junk King crew to handle. After a storm Junk King Houston works around-the-clock to service its customers and help them get their lives back in order. In between storms Junk King provides a valuable service to anyone who is looking to reclaim some space in their Houston home that is being crowded out by junk. What the Junk King crew can accomplish in a couple of hours is to load up a truck full of all that stuff you never wish to see again. Even if you call up Junk King to help you with storm debris removal is no reason why you can’t throw a couple of other items on the truck at the same time. In other words, get the most out of Junk King that you can!

Yard Clean Up in Houston, TX

Many families across Houston are deciding to eat a bit healthier. The best way to accomplish this is by simply adding more “green food” to your plate. This means a lot more salad, vegetables and even fruit. The trick is making sure that the green food you’re eating is as fresh as it can possibly be. Sure it’s easy to pop some frozen broccoli into the microwave and nuke that for dinner but you will be depriving yourself of essential nutrients that can only be found in fresh vegetables. That’s why many Houston families are also growing their own fresh veggies. This is a fun project that can involve the whole family and teach kids about better eating habits. Is there anything better than picking a salad from your own backyard?

If you want to get in on the vegetable growing craze you’ll find it doesn’t take a lot of effort. With spring approaching this is the best time to start your vegetable garden. By planting now you should have a great yield at the beginning of summer. There are only really three things you need to consider when planning a garden: Sun, soil and water.

Most vegetables need around six hours of direct sunlight every day. Plants like lettuces can tolerate more shade than tomatoes but there’s no reason why they can’t grow side-by-side provided you give the tomatoes their sunlight. As for the soil, you’ll want to supplement the natural ingredients of your dirt with fertilizer or compost. Either one of those components are going to infuse the soil with healthy amounts of nutrients that your plans will just love. Adding fertilizer to a garden is especially important when this is a first planting season. You want to begin the condition your soil to accept plants and seeds.

As for watering you need only follow the instructions that come on every packet of seeds to achieve the optimal results. The important thing is to be consistent with your watering. March is the perfect time to plant most varieties of vegetables. You might also want to consider building a fence around your garden just to make sure no neighborhood rabbits or squirrels have a salad before you can!

Getting your backyard ready for a garden planting will mean clearing out yard waste. This could be fallen tree branches, shrubs or piles of sod you’ll be turning over to make room for your garden. Of course, this being Texas there might also be the occasional Tumbleweed that has found its way into your backyard. While you’re picking out your seeds you should think about turning the task of yard cleanup to a professional team of junk haulers nearby – Junk King Houston. They’ll be in the best position to help clear out your backyard because they’ve got all the right amount of muscle and truck space. The muscles for lifting any heavy object and the truck space is perfect for all that dirt. There is one word of caution: once you start growing your own vegetables you might never go back to the grocery store for them again!
