Stockton Apartment Junk Removal

A home is what you make of it. That holds true for a sprawling mansion or a two bedroom apartment. Too often apartment dwellers think they are stuck with the boring white walls and cruddy carpet that they moved in with. The truth is that if you are a good renter and plan to stick around for a while there is no reason why your landlord would be against you making some minor improvements to your surroundings. Top of the list for many apartment dwellers is a new paint job.

Chances are when you first moved into your apartment it was given a fresh coat of paint. It’s also a safe bet that color of paint was white. A landlord can’t anticipate what their new tenant’s favorite color might be so they’ll stick with the neutral white shade. There are many folks who appreciate a clean white while. If you would prefer your walls to reflect your own personality then why not ask the landlord if you can repaint. The only two things they’ll really be concerned about is if it’s going to cost them anything and if it will be returned to the same condition when you move out. You could probably get away with painting an apartment for under $200 if you do all the work yourself. You might even get the landlord to kick in for the paint if he doesn’t have to pay for the labor.

It will then come down to a question of color. Here is where you can make some bold choices that reflect your own tastes and personality. Painting a bedroom in a soothing blue could actually help you fall asleep as this color has been shown to be more relaxing. If you have kids, you could empower them to pick their own color schemes. Of course, whatever they pick they’re going to have to live with!

There are some things you can do in your apartment that you don’t need your landlord’s permission for. Small touches like hanging curtains on the windows or putting up a collage of photos on a wall can add lots of flair and personality to a room. You might also want to consider getting rid of some of the junk you’ve been holding onto since the move in. Whether your storage locker is overflowing or your closets are crammed getting rid of the excess junk is a good way to take a fresh approach to your apartment.

If you hire a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Stockton to handle this chore you won’t have to worry about making all those trips up and down the stairs or elevator. The pros will manage all that. You could even get a neighbor to pitch in and share the cost by having the junk haulers take their stuff away in the same appointment. Make the most out of your apartment by getting rid of the junk and bringing in your own personality.

Home Downsizing Tips in Stockton

The idea of downsizing holds a lot of appeal to many Stockton residents. After a lifetime of collecting and gathering “stuff”  many folks have become overwhelmed with everything that are surrounded by. Couple that with the notion that keeping up with a big home is just too burdensome and expensive and you can see why downsizing is a viable option. There are two approaches you can take with downsizing and it all comes down to a whether or not you want to move or stay put.

If you are moving then the goal is obviously to find a smaller place. Many homeowners have decided that they no longer need a big house especially when all the kids have grown up and moved on. In that case, they can sell that big home and make the transition into a more manageable space like a two bedroom apartment or condo. A homeowner who has reached the retirement age can also opt for making the move into an active adult community where they’ll be surrounded by all kinds of amazing amenities. No matter where you’re headed, you’ll first need to get rid of a large portion of junk you’ve collected over the years.

Staying put could mean taking on a boarder or roommate. While you’ll still be living in a big home, your responsibility will be “downsized” because your roommate will be taking over a room and possible 2nd bathroom. More importantly, you’ll be getting some extra cash in the form of rent and shared utility expenses. That can help you pay off bills. Remember that just because you’re taking in a roommate doesn’t mean its forever. You could take in a boarder for a year or two until you get back on solid financial ground.

As with the moving option, you’re still going to have to clear out the clutter to free up some space. This is when you’ll want to hire a team of professional junk haulers at Junk King Stockton to pitch in and help with the task. After you’ve sorted through your stuff and donated or passed on useable items you’ll be left with nothing but junk. When the pros show up, they’ll take that junk off your hands during one afternoon session.

The professional junk hauler won’t have any problem helping you get rid of any bulk item. Even a busted piano can be tossed onto the back of their truck and carted away. Because you’re working with Junk King you’ll also be able to depend on them to make sure whatever pieces of junk that can be recycled will be. This is extremely important for someone who is downsizing with the additional goal of reducing their carbon footprint. Anything that can be diverted away from a landfill is going to reduce that footprint. Downsizing is a wonderful way to invigorate your lifestyle. Get started today!

Stockton Basement Junk Removal

What’s down in your basement? Could you film a horror movie down there and create plenty of scares? A lot of folks don’t think much about their basements beyond the place to put their washing machine and dryer. However, with a little effort and a dash of TLC you can turn your basement into the best room in the house. All it takes is a little imagination and not being bogged down by obstacles.

If you’re basement is “raw” then it’s completely unfinished. Think of this as a blank canvas to start creating on. First you need to decide on a purpose. Are you looking to create a living space for one of your kids or possibly a roommate? Fortunately, most basements have access to all the plumbing that comes into the house so putting in a small bathroom isn’t that big of a stretch. Suppose the basement walls are unfinished or stone? Despite what you might think, it’s very easy to put up drywall. There are plenty of neighborhood handymen who can tackle a job like that with low cost to you.

Once that drywall is up, you can paint it in any color. If your basement has no natural source of light, you should consider brighter shades for the wall that will illuminate any light source you bring in. Just as the walls are easy to take care of, so would be the floor. Hopefully, you don’t have any flooding problems and can put down some comfortable carpeting. Otherwise easy to clean floor tiles will do the trick.

When your basement walls and floors have been taken care of, you can move in what you need to move in. Maybe you’ve got an idea to create a home movie theater. Actually, the basement is the perfect place for a room like that. After you’ve set up your surround sound you won’t have any trouble watching a movie down in the basement while the rest of the house is sleeping! Maybe the basement is meant for a home office or work-out studio. Either one of those choices will require minimum furnishings. The mere fact that you’ve fixed the walls and floors will not only increase you property value but it will make any choice for your basement more appealing.

Of course, before any of this refurbishing project can begin you’ve got to get rid of all the junk that has piled up in the basement over the years. This is probable the biggest hindrance to a basement remodel: What to do with all that junk? It’s easy to carry something down there and forget about it but carrying back up those stairs can be a challenge. You don’t have to worry about any of that when you hire a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Stockton to do the job for you. They won’t have any problem going up and down those basement stairs. It’s what they’re trained to do! Remember, those junk haulers don’t just have to help you clear out your basement. They can take the junk away from anywhere in your home. Start that project today and you should have a brand new basement in a couple of weeks!

Stockton Patio Furniture Disposal

Now that spring has officially sprung and summer is just around the corner, the sound of lawn mowers fill the air. This can inspire you to gaze out into your own backyard to consider the possibilities. Is it time for some new patio furniture? If so, then you might benefit from the following shopping tips.

As you begin your search, you might be surprised to discover there are many stores which specialize in exclusively in patio furniture. They’ll be rolling out their very best selections at this time of year. However, don’t hesitate to shop around because any story that sells furniture will be offering sales and special savings on patio furniture. Even the local Home Depot will have some great bargains.

If you’re buying a piece of furniture with a metal frame look for aluminum because it won’t rust. Stainless steel is also a good material for patio furniture that won’t rust. For cushion fabrics you want to see if they have been UV tested. Yes, just like you need sunscreen your patio furniture also has to be protected from the sun’s unrelenting rays. Take note of what those cushions are made from. If they seem “too light” they are probably made from all fiber which means they’re going to flatten after awhile.

For the heavy chairs, you want to check to see if there are foot glides installed or available to add. This will matter a lot when those chairs are pulled across your decks or patio and you want to avoid scratches. Even though you might not be using this new furniture as much as a sofa in your living room, you still want to make sure you’re getting a good quality product. In fact, because this furniture will be subjected to the elements it has to be extremely durable and well made.

Naturally, you’ll have to get rid of your old patio furniture first to make room for the new collection. Here is where you’re going to need some help. Just as you’ll be having delivery men drop off your new furniture, you should consider professional junk haulers like Junk King Stockton to help cart away the old furniture. These junk haulers can pop the old, rusty furniture into the back of their truck in a matter of minutes but they don’t have to stop there. While they are at it, these same movers can take away any other bulky junk items you want to get rid of. This includes anything in your home, garage or attic. If you are giving your backyard a complete makeover, the movers can take away any old planters, fallen palm branches or piles of construction waste. Because this will be a professional crew you won’t have to worry about how they’ll handle the job. They’ll respect your home and your time.

Alternatives to Stockton Dumpster Rentals

According to the Stockton Municipal Code “it is unlawful for any person in the City to throw or deposit any recyclable material, green waste, rubbish or waste matter or to cause the same to be thrown or deposited upon any street.” What they are saying is you can’t dump garbage in the street. They go on to explain this because “the Public Works Municipal Service Center is responsible for maintaining the City’s public right-of-ways. This includes keeping the public streets, alleys and sidewalks free of debris and weeds.”

This same unlawful dumping applies to the storm drain system as well. Once again we can turn to the municipal code for guidance: “The storm drain system is for the sole purpose of collecting rainwater overflow. Dumping trash, pollutants and debris in the catch basins is illegal and is a federal violation of the Clean Water Act of 1972, as well as the City of Stockton’s Municipal Code. Pollutants may require an immediate clean up to prevent them from getting into our local waterways.” They have also set up a hot line where folks can call in and report any illegal dumping they see. In this age of persistent cell phone cameras it’s going to be very hard for someone to get away with this kind of nonsense.

Now that it has been firmly established in your mind that illegal dumping can get you into plenty hot water you can see where having a dumpster on your property might cause a problem. That’s because folks who are looking to get rid of their trash (illegal dumping!) could just decide to use your dumpster. Why not? It’s just sitting there waiting to be filled up. And don’t think just because your dumpster rental might be on your driveway that it would be off-limits to anyone who is looking to get rid of garbage. Sure, they may not dump their trash in the middle of the day but if they’ve got in their car there is nothing that can stop them from driving back late into the night to make their trash deposit.

This is one of the primary reasons why renting a dumpster is such a bad idea. You’re just going to be attracting all kinds of unwanted visitors. The alternative is to hire professional junk haulers like Junk King Stockton to accomplish whatever task you might need a dumpster for. Whether you’re looking to get rid of construction waste from a remodeling project or cleaning out all the junk from your home professional junk haulers will be up to the challenge. They’ll have a team of experienced movers and a big truck eager to be filled. The added bonus is that the professional junk haulers can come and go wherever your junk is and take it out. Simply put, if you want to get rid of your junk then get rid of it; don’t have it sitting around in a dumpster!

Stockton Office Cleanout

A common site among your Stockton neighbors during the weekend are various yard sales. This is a great way for anyone to get rid of junk and maybe put a few dollars in their pocket. Anyone who is having a yard sale increases their chances of traffic by encouraging other neighbors to have a sale during the same weekend. If you can get the whole block engaged in one big community sale, you’ll be in really good shape to draw in potential customers. The one drawback with a yard sale is that whatever you don’t sell you have to drag back into your home at the end of the day. Of course, you can always throw all that junk away since you don’t want it any more but that’s not always practical. Instead, you’ll probably try again next weekend or when you get more junk!

Imagine if offices could have yard sales? There are many local businesses that occasionally will set up a table of goods to sell in front of their stores but corporate offices never get in on this act. That’s probably because whatever junk they have to get rid of should really be thrown out. Would you really be interested in buying a broken office chair? What about cubicle walls? A fax machine that doesn’t work anymore? All of those kinds of items are really meant for the trash heap. Ironically, offices seem to hold onto this junk as much as we hold onto our junk. Part of the reason comes down to a matter of ownership.

When a company buys a piece of office equipment, that item becomes the property of that company. It’s an asset. Yes, even the mini-fridge with leftover lunches is a company asset. Every purchase becomes a business expense that can be deducted and businesses lover their deductions! As time passes and the normal wear and tear occurs, those items can break down or fall out of use. What happens then? As an employee, you can’t simply throw away a “piece of property”  unless you have permission from upper management.  So, instead of going through the hassle of sending out memos and waiting for approvals, those unwanted office junk items are shoved into a storage room or empty cubicle. Want to know when they get cleared out? Usually when the big boss comes into town for a company review. Then it’s all hands on deck to clean out the offices.

If your office is ready to get rid of its junk, it might make smart business sense to hire professional junk haulers like Junk King Stockton to accomplish this task. These are experienced movers who understand the nature of carrying out bulky objects from an office space. They’ll get the job done right and on time which is then something you can take credit for! Take the initiative and get your office cleaned up the right way!

Stockton Scrap Metal Removal

Recently it was reported that seven cars were stolen from a Stockton auto repair lot. Fortunately, the owner of those stolen cars was able to locate his vehicles at a chop shop not far from his own lot. In case you never heard of the term “chop shop” before it refers to an illegal garage whose sole purpose is to take stolen vehicles and dismantled them down to the hubcaps. In this particular crime a batch of Volvos, Mercedes and BMWs were swiped from Automeister, a Stockton area dealer that specializes in engine repairs on those types of cars. One of the owners got a tip as to where these stolen cars might’ve been taken. It only took him a few hours to track them down within the same community. He called up the California Highway Patrol to handle the rest of the matter. One of the cars recovered was a 68 Volvo Alcoriza that the owner drove in high school.

All of this points out how bold and daring scrap metal thieves can be. Whether it’s a car or copper piping these criminals think there is money to be made and therefore they’ll stop at nothing snatch up any metal they can get their hands on. In order to make any real money scrap metal you need to have dump trucks full of the stuff. That’s the only way to get a decent return. Most of us who might have a little scrap metal around the home could discover that it’s not worth the time and effort required to haul that metal to a dealer in the hopes of getting some cash. You’ll probably spend more on gas then you might make on the metal!

Bottom line: you need to get rid of any metal around your home or business that might become a target to scrap metal thieves. Instead of doing the work yourself call upon some professional junk haulers like Junk King Stockton to handle the job for you. These junk haulers will be experienced with this type of removal. Scrap metal is not like ordinary garbage. In fact, it can be quite hazardous to move about. That’s why you want to let professionals handle this type of job.

Scrap metal can come in many forms. Even an old refrigerator or stove that you were hanging onto in your garage is considered scrap metal. In other words, this type of metal doesn’t have to be rusted or in a pile. The same holds true for things like car fenders or aluminum siding. Basically if you can stick a magnet onto it then it’s metal. As these same junk haulers are carting away your scrap metal they can also take on the task of removing any other type of junk you might want to get rid of. This can include old furniture, boxes of clothing or even a piano. The goal should always be to keep your home as free of clutter as possible.

Stockton Garage Junk Clean Out

We’ve all have said at least once in our life that “time flies.” Wasn’t it just Christmas? Now spring is officially just a few weeks away and you won’t be able to escape the idea of tackling a spring cleaning project. A lot of this has to do with the simple act of opening up a window. When you let that fresh air in a gives you a chance to take a look around your surroundings and think about what else needs freshening up. If you’re the type of person who doesn’t like to clean you’re certainly not alone. But a comprehensive spring cleaning of your home can leave you refreshed and invigorated. The key is not to become overwhelmed with the enormity of the project.

The first proactive step you can take for your spring cleaning project is to set down a plan. This could mean dedicating specific hours for the cleaning. Keep in mind that you don’t have to do everything all at once in a single day. You could tackle different rooms in your home over the course of several weekends. It all comes down to a matter of focus and avoiding distractions. If you set down specific times for cleaning then you should turn off the phone and let the rest the family know this is the project that is happening.

Speaking of the family, if you’ve got kids then spring cleaning is the perfect opportunity to put them to work. This might mean leaving them to their own rooms but it still comes back to that issue of focus. If you spend two hours cleaning your kitchen then the kids should be spending those two hours cleaning their rooms.

To truly embrace the concept of spring cleaning you really want to approach your room with a top to bottom attitude. Don’t forget the corners of the ceiling or the baseboards of the floor. Everything could use a good dusting or mopping.

There are certain rooms in your home which will have you confronting piles of junk. This is not something to be intimidated by especially when you’ve got that positive spring cleaning attitude on your side. If you know you’re going to be throwing away a lot of stuff then you might want to have a team of professional junk haulers in Stockton like Junk King on standby alert to become your spring cleaning partners. This is especially true if you’re tackling something like a garage or attic that has become your family’s de facto storage bin.

Junk King Stockton’s professional junk hauling crew can arrive at the appointed hour with their muscle and their truck ready to be filled. Instead of you moving around heavy items these junk haulers will be up to the task. All you have to do is point to what you want taken away and they’ll handle the rest. It’s amazing how easy spring cleaning can become when you’ve got the extra manpower on your side; not to mention an empty truck for hauling!

Tree Branch Disposal in Stockton

How is your garden growing? On the average there are just a handful of rainy days in Stockton during the month of February. This means you’ll be able to sneak in some garden work in preparation for spring. Whether you are looking to overhaul your garden completely or just add a few new plants it’s best to get started early and make sure everything is in place for the warmer weather.

Perhaps this will be the season when you decide to add a small orange or lemon tree to your backyard. It’s not that hard to plant a tree. You need to dig a hole that is twice as wide but just as deep as the tree’s root ball. If the area where you’re digging this hole is mostly clay or compacted dirt then you should dig it three times as big to give the roots more room to grow.

Next, place the root ball of the tree or shrub into the hole you dug. The top of the root ball should be even with the top of your hole. Refill the hole with about two thirds of soil, water it and let it settle. You’ll then want to add a thick layer of mulch to help keep in the moisture. In these first initial weeks if there is no rain make sure you’re adding more water to give your tree nourishment.

Stockton is considered a warm weather zone. This means you don’t have to be worried so much about frost warnings and should instead focus on the kind of warm season type of flowers such as violas, snapdragons, calendulas and primroses. These are the type of plants that under provide instant bursts of color. When shopping at your local nursery make sure you’re getting healthy plants. You need to inspect the plant from all sides. One tip to remember is that a plant which has many blooms in the store might look pretty but could end up going into shock once it has been transplanted. If you come across a plant that has roots growing out of the pot it’s assigned it has been in the pot too long.

Before any planting you’ll need to clear the yard. This could mean pulling up weeds or getting rid of all kinds of debris that is built up over the last few months. California is a prime Palm tree growing environment. But those Palm trees can also wreak havoc as their fronds fall to the ground in heavy storms. Just because you want to take a lot of pride in your garden doesn’t mean you have to do it all alone especially when it comes to the removal of big objects like falling tree branches or clumps of dug up sod. For that kind of removal you should call upon the services of professional junk haulers like Junk King Stockton. While it might seem odd to call junk haulers to take away dirt it actually makes perfectly good sense. They have the muscle and they have the truck so why not let them do the work!

How To Get Rid of Junk – Junk King Removal Stockton

The awareness surrounding the issue of hoarding has grown since the reality series “Hoarders” and “Hoarders: Buried Alive” have gained in popularity. As a result, more folks are confronting their own hoarding tendencies and wondering whether or not it will ever get as bad as it shown on reality TV.
Here are some facts about hoarding: compulsive hoarding affects anywhere between 700,000 to 1.4 million people in the US. Additionally, compulsive hoarding is often diagnosed as a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD. That’s because upwards of 42% of the people with OCD have been found to also have a compulsion to hoard. A person who becomes an obsessive hoarder actually begins their collecting in childhood but is not until they become an adult that the issue grows in severity.
In many cases, hoarding is more about the fear surrounding the idea of throwing something away as opposed to collecting or saving an item. When a compulsive hoarder thinks about throwing something away it triggers anxiety which in turn causes them to want to hang onto that item. Quite often hoarding runs in families. It’s also frequently associated with other mental health disorders like depression, social anxiety or bipolar disorder. One thing that many hoarders have in common is that they hardly ever recognize their problem. It’s only when other family members or friends stage an intervention does the issue become real for them.
For hoarders who have reached that severe level, therapists are often brought into the home to help these folks develop more effective behavior patterns. This could mean working for hours on end to clean out even a single drawer in the kitchen.
Hopefully, your own “collecting” hasn’t gone this far that requires professional treatment. The reason many of us hold onto junk is simply because we don’t have the means to throw it away. That no longer has to be the case in Stockton when you can call up Junk King Stockton and schedule a major removal session.
