Houston Refrigerator Disposal & Safety

If there is one thing you can count on with young boys is that sooner or later they are going to build some kind of fort somewhere. The urge to build a structure like that is just too irresistible, especially if they should happen to stumble upon some scraps of wood or other fort worthy building materials. Location is key for a good fort. Height offers a great advantage not only in surveying the land but also in defense. That’s why many forts are built in trees, much to the chagrin of worried moms! Depending on who is helping with the build and how many power tools are involved, a tree fort can either be a slapped together platform with a few planks nailed into the tree for a ladder or quite an elaborate affair. We’re talking Swiss Family Robinson type of tree fort structures that are more livable space than hideaway.
Of course not every childhood fort has to be made of wood or up a tree. When a kid’s imagination kicks into high gear just about anything can be turned into some kind of space capsule or runaway train or time machine. All you really need is some kind of enclosed space. This is why abandoned refrigerators in Houston are such a tempting target for kids to play with and also why they are such a danger.
It’s not hard to imagine that a kid could stumble upon an old fridge and use it as the perfect “hide and seek” vehicle only to become trapped in there. It won’t take long for tragedy to follow. This is why so many states have enacted strict laws with regard to the disposal of a refrigerator. The laws in Houston are no different. If you have an abandoned or unused refrigerator on your property you either have to remove the door or padlock it securely. Wouldn’t it make more sense to get rid of it properly by hiring a professional crew of junk haulers like Junk King Houston to take it away? Of course it would.
Often when you buy a new refrigerator the old one is shoved aside into some corner in the garage or backyard. That’s the very moment you need to take those precautions. If you know you’re getting a new fridge, why not call up some professional junk haulers to take away the old one in the same day. Of course you could try to haul off your fridge yourself if you have the truck big enough and if you have enough manpower. But once you get it all loaded up would you even know where to take it?
A fridge is not something that can just be dumped by the side of the road. It has to be properly disposed of. Finding the right facility to handle that kind of job might take you far outside of Houston. All that trouble for getting rid of your old refrigerator. Once again, you can simplify things if you just make one call to a local based junk hauler. They know just where to take that old fridge: they practically make that kind of trip every day!

Houston Hot Tub Buying and Disposal Guide

If you’re living in a Houston home with a hot tub that means either you had it installed or you inherited the tub from the previous owner. If that hot tub was once in working order and you had a chance to dip into the warm waters then you know how soothing and relaxing that can be. Perhaps it’s time to swap out that old hot tub for new, improved model. As you go shopping for a hot tub you’re going to run across variations of a spa, hot tub, Jacuzzi or a whirlpool.
What would be the best choice for you?
A spa is referred to a contain water tub that has several heated power jets that blast muscle relaxing streams of water. The typical spa is made out of either fiberglass or acrylic with the acrylic version offering up a longer life. Traditionally hot tubs are made of wood with a kind of liner inside to hold the water. You can still have the same kind of powerful jet action in a hot tub that you would get in a spa but without the contoured seating. As for the whirlpool this has less to do with the specific brand as it does with the specific action. Although you might refer to this as a Jacuzzi, that is actually the brand name of a company that makes whirlpool baths. You can get that same whirlpool action in any hot tub.
You also have a choice of placement for your new hot tub. Just like a swimming pool this can either be above ground or built into the ground. With built-in pools many homeowners opt to have a hot tub built right on as an extension of the pool. Obviously this would mean the hot tub is less about wood and more about concrete. There are some folks that even have a hot tub set up indoors. If you’re considering this option it makes more sense to have this in a basement or ground floor. Either way should always check with the constructional engineer first before installing.
A hot tub is made hot either through electric powered heaters or gas heaters. They also come equipped with underwater lights and seating arrangements several folks. The bigger the hot tub the bigger the hot tub party!
Before you lock down that new hot tub you’re going to have to get rid of the old version. This can be easily accomplished by hiring a junk hauling company like Junk King Houston that specializes in hot tub disposal. There are many moving parts in a hot especially a freestanding one. The junk hauling team will have to dismantle the outer frame, take apart the motor, and break down the tub itself. This is definitely not a one-man operation. It’s also going to require a rather large truck to cart off all the disassembled pieces. You could accomplish this on your own but it will mean loading up your own car or truck with the scraps of the hot tub and take it to the nearest landfill. Do you even know where landfill is around Houston? It’s best to leave it to the pros.

Houston Mattress Buying and Disposal

Is it time to buy a new mattress? You can answer that question by first figuring out when you bought the mattress in the first place. If you can’t remember then it’s pretty much time to buy a new mattress! The general rule of thumb is that a decent mattress should last you at least eight years. Depending on the circumstances that mattress life could be shaved by a couple of years. It all comes down to a question of wear and tear versus durability. If you’re heading out to buy a new mattress you need to consider some of these important tips.
First of all, if the mattress you’re buying doesn’t come with a 30 day trial period then run don’t walk to the nearest exit. It doesn’t matter what kind of prices the mattress salesperson will be offering you, if you don’t get the chance to turn this mattress back in after four weeks then it’s really not worth having. It didn’t take that long for you to get adjusted to your new bed. It just might be that those first couple of nights aren’t what you expected. Imagine having to put up with that for the next eight years. On the other hand, you should give up which mattress after a first new bed nights. Give your body time to adjust.
Along with a 30 or 60 day trial keep an eye on the warranty you’re being asked to pay for. If under ideal conditions the mattress is not supposed to last longer than eight years why would you buy a warranty for 10 years more? There is one exception to mattress warranties and that would be with the Tempurpedic brand bed. Typically they have long warranties because that specific type of mattress can last longer than eight years but it’s also more expensive.
Speaking of expense, the average cost of a king-size mattress could be anywhere between $1200 up to $4000. A good range to stay in is the $2000 price tag. Typically king-size beds will cost around $300 more than queen-size bed. Although that might look like a hefty price tag you really have to think in terms of usage. You’re going to be spending around one third of your daily life in this bed. Breaking down the cost ends up having you really spending around $15 a month for $2000 bed. That’s a pretty good bargain!
You might also want to look into a low-profile box spring. This lowers the bed by 6 inches closer to the ground and makes getting in and out a bit easier. This could be a special order item that you might have to wait an additional few days for. Be on the lookout if a mattress salesman tries to sell you a mattress protector or mattress pad. This is basically an extra layer of cushion that you really don’t need because you’re buying a new mattress. The other hand if this pad is waterproof and comes with a stain warranty you might want to consider adding that your cart.
Of course, all this hard work shopping for a bed would be wasted if you can’t get rid of the mattress you’re sleeping on. That’s why you should also factor in hiring a professional team of haulers like Junk King Houston to show up on the same day your mattresses be delivered. This will make for a smooth transition to a good night sleep. Simpy call 1-888-888-JUNK

Houston Yard Waste Removal

Many kids have fond memories of growing up in Houston and building a tree fort in their backyard. Typically these were hastily assembled structures using whatever scraps of wood could be found in the neighborhood. There might be an old door nailed together on a pallet from the grocery store and slapped together with the tarp over top. It might look shabby but it was the site of endless hours of summer fun. Of course, since we do everything big in Texas is no reason to expect anything less than from our backyard playhouses. Recently an oil company executive in Houston shelled out $50,000 to build a customized playhouse for their two-year-old daughter. This was no ordinary tree fort!
The playhouse was two stories and 170 square feet with vaulted ceilings and shrunken furnishings. There are hardwood floors, a fake fireplace and a kitchen with hot and cold running water. There’s also a freezer always stocked with juice boxes and Popsicles. Upstairs was a 32 inch flat screen TV and DVD player. Naturally this playhouse was air-conditioned. Although some may see this as extreme others like to think if you’ve got it flaunt it!
If you’ve got a backyard and you want to give your kids the experience of having their own tree fort or other kind of playhouse structure you might need to clear out some brush beforehand. If you go to do that then you’ll want to help of a professional crew of yard waste removal specialists like Junk King Houston. Yes were talking junk haulers and just like those junk haulers can take away your old furniture, mattresses or other unwanted items they can certainly load up their truck with sod, fallen tree limbs and other backyard waste.
If a tree fort is not on your redesign list maybe you’re thinking about putting in a new patio to make room for customized outdoor barbecue. This is going to mean tearing up that old patio which is going to mean piles of concrete chunks. Sound like another job for the yard waste removal team. Many Texans have their own pickup truck that can certainly handle a decent hauling job. The issue is how many trips are you going to have to make with all that backyard waste? Its one thing to spend your Saturday off digging up grass, chopping down trees or tearing up cement, but it’s another to have to start making several trips to local landfill. Would you even know where the landfill is that closest to your home? Chances are it could be way outside of town because nobody wants a landfill in their backyard. Now you’re adding several hours of back and forth trips when you could have it all accomplished with just one trip thanks to the junk haulers and their big truck.
As long as you’re hauling away your backyard trash why not haul away all your garage and basement trash why you’re at it? That same truck that’s full of dirt is the perfect spot for all that clutter stuffed in your closets run your bed. Once you backyard is clean then the sky is the limit. Whether its tree forts or patios enjoy your summer!

Houston Foreclosure Clean Out

A scan of national newspapers or the evening news shows will reveal that we’re a long way from getting out of the housing mess that started all the financial woes in this country. However, when you look closer to a city by city accounting there are some signs of improvement. For instance by all indications it appears that the Houston housing market is leveling out. Leveling out is a lot better than bottoming out. Yet with house prices stabilizing there are still many other homes that are in danger of slipping into foreclosure along with the thousands of homes that are already in foreclosure. Smart real estate investors will know that there is gold in those foreclosed homes.
A bank that owns the title to those foreclosed deeds considers it a toxic asset and that is something that they want removed from their books as quickly as possible. This is why so many investors are jumping into the foreclosed home market. They know they can make a quick purchase and potentially quicker sale for a profit. The big issue is getting the house ready for a sale.
If you’re thinking about getting into the foreclosed home market you may find yourself visiting many properties that are in an extreme state of distress. This could be due to the simple fact that the previous homeowners abandoned the property to let it sit without care. You know if you leave something alone long enough it’s going to start to deteriorate this is especially true for a house. Even letting the lawn go without mowing could quickly have you overrun with weeds. If plumbing is left unattended the pipes can seize up or crack and cause major flooding. Just the simple act of opening a window to let in some fresh air can mean a lot.
However, if there is a house that is been left alone to bake in the hot Houston sun is no telling what has been growing inside. If you should happen to step inside one of these properties don’t be dissuaded from the potential mess. You can get plenty of help with a professional foreclosure clean out crew.
A foreclosure cleanup crew like Junk King Houston will do all the dirty work of cleaning up all that dirt. While you’re preparing your own marketing materials and lineup potential buyers this cleanup crew can be pulling down dusty drapes, scooping up bags of garbage and giving the house a thorough top to bottom cleaning. At the very least they’ll be able to immediately any potential threat to your sale. This could still leave you with some dreary looking walls and floors but at least the bulk of the garbage can be removed.
There could be many improvements you can make the foreclosed home to increase its sales value but first you need to clean. If you know you’re going to paint it then it’s just a matter of clearing out the clutter without worrying about the floors for now. An experienced foreclosure cleanup crew will know just how to tackle project.

Houston Junk Recycling – Dinner, Buildings and Household Items

Recycling can take on many forms. Technically, when you have leftovers after Thanksgiving you are recycling that turkey dinner. In other words, you’re repurposing it and reusing that food again which is the heart of recycling. In Houston, there is a trend towards recycling old buildings and making them into useful new structures. Obviously, there is plenty of land around Houston. If a developer wants to put up a new bunch of offices or apartment they’ll just buy a lot and start building. However, with so many fine example of architecture and design still standing, there is no reason why they can’t be recycled, repurposed and reused.
You can see examples of this cropping up all over the inner Loop neighborhoods like EaDo, The Heights and the Warehouse District. A perfect example of this kind of building recycling can be found in the Alexan Lofts.
The true definition of a loft is a converted warehouse floor. Over at the Alexan Lofts, the developers transformed six abandoned warehouses into 244 units. There are also upscale amenities like a pool, WiFi, pine floors, exposed brick walls and 16 foot high ceilings. Another example could be the hip Down House which turned an old bank into this trendy restaurant. What’s cool is that they have incorporated the original building’s history and design elements into their own environment.
Most of us won’t have the opportunity to recycle an entire building, but that doesn’t mean we can’t pitch in to help Houston recycle other things like paper, plastics and aluminum. Those are actually the easy items to recycle. But what about the bigger pieces like major kitchen appliances or furniture? While it is true those can be stuffed into your municipal recycling bin they can still be properly disposed of if you call in the pros.
In this case, the “pros”  are the professional junk haulers like Junk King Houston who specialize in recycling large items. It’s good when you can separate your trash, but that means it all ends up going to the same place for sorting. With the bigger items there are dedicated recycling facilities which can handle breaking down a piece to its core components. For instance, with a sofa you could have wood, fabric, metal and cushioning. All of those are separate elements that need to be sent off to different plants for repurposing. There are other big items like mattresses, old stoves and even car parts that can all be destined for the recycling heap.
When you hire a professional crew like Junk King you can depend on them showing up at the agreed upon time and having a truck large enough to take away all your junk. Before you throw out anything big ask yourself, “Can that be recycled?” Then call in the pros! It sure beats loading up your car and looking for the many recycling centers around Houston. You’ve got better things to do with your time like head to the inner Loop for some good times!

Houston Furniture Disposal

If you’re thinking about redecorating a couple of rooms in your Houston area home you might be looking for inspiration. You could go through the numerous décor magazines available at your newsstand, but that might not be the best option. Most of the Houston homes featured in those magazines are on the high end of things and by high end we mean expensive. Actually, one of the best sources of getting inspiration for decorating your home is to actually go take a peek into other people’s homes. Sure, you could knock on someone’s door and ask, “Can I see your furniture?” But a more effective way would simply to do a search of a local Houston realtor’s website and do your snooping online.
When folks put their homes up for sale, they will typically snap a bunch of pictures and upload them to their real estate broker’s website. This allows them to put their home in the most favorable light possible. It also gives the rest of us a chance to peak into the living rooms and bedrooms of strangers just to see how they decorated things. You might be quite surprised at the range of tastes on display all across Houston. You’re sure to find the typical collection of western inspired furniture complete with cowhide rugs and longhorn ornaments. But you’ll also find a wide array of modern furniture which features a lot of glass and chrome. Then there is that category that can best be described as “grandma chic.” These are the collections of sofas, tables and chairs which are trapped somewhere between “vintage antique” and “just plain ugly.” So, what’s in your home?
Going through a furniture showroom can also help you consider all the possibilities of what new furnishings could look like in your home. With so many options to pick from in one place, it might become a tad overwhelming. This is why you should be snapping pictures on your cell phone. Take these digital photos back to your home and hold them up in the room to really visualize what these pieces might look like in your home.
Naturally, you’re also going to have to make plans for getting rid of your old furniture. Remember what it took to bring all that furniture into your home in the first place? You probably had movers or at the very least some strong friends. Its one thing to pull a sofa out of the way to mop up behind it, but it’s quite another to lift that couch and carry it out. This is why you should consider hiring a team of professional Houston furniture haulers like Junk King. These guys will show up at the appointed hour and be able to cart off whatever you’re getting rid of in one session. You won’t need to be loading up the truck and making multiple trips to the dump just to clear out your living room. If you plan it right, then the old furniture can be gone in the morning and the new stuff comes in by lunchtime. That’s a perfect plan!

Houston Junk Removal

A person could spend their entire life in Houston and not even know some of the fun facts that make this city such a gem. First of all, according to the U.S. Census Bureau Houston is the fourth most populous city in the country following New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. It’s also the largest city in the south and in Texas; so take that Dallas! As an official city, Houston was founded way back in 1836 and covers around 8,778 square miles. That’s pretty close to the entire state of Massachusetts.
If Houston was its own country, it would come in at number 30 on the list of the world’s largest economies. What’s interesting about folks in Houston is that they dine out more often than any other city in the country. This translates into over 11,000 restaurants, cafes, bistros and b-b-q joints all across the city. Houston also has a 17 block theater district and is home to all kinds of museums and cultural centers. And let’s not forget about the colleges. There are 40 colleges and universities around Houston that offer a wide range of possible higher education options. Let’s face it; Houston has a lot going on.
Naturally, with all of this action and people there is going to be a lot of junk accumulated. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s part of human nature to collect things we end up throwing out.
