How to Choose a Junk Removal Company

You've decided you need help with getting rid of the extra stuff on your property. You're ready to call an expert for help, but who do you call? What should you look for in a junk removal company?

First of all, look for a legitimate bonded and insured company. There are plenty of "junk haulers" who are not actual businesses. When you choose to work with a company who is bonded and insured you are protecting yourself in the event any damage is done on the property through the process of junk removal.

Once you have a company in mind, look at how long they have been in business. Did they just start out over the last few years, or have they been around awhile? While there have been a lot of junk removal companies started over the last few years, it is not an easy business. A clean out company who has been around for several years has been able to sustain the highs and lows of the economy and supply and demand in order to survive. Many of the newer companies are still learning what it takes to be efficient at the job and how to provide great customer service. In the end, you'll end up paying for their learning curve. All Clear Clean Out & Junk Removal has been in business since 1991 - way before Junk Removal companies became popular. We were founded out of a need to fill a void when there were few companies providing such services. We have been helping Chicago and NW Indiana residents for over 3 decades and plan to be around for at least that many more.

See if they have experience serving your area. There are some companies that are not experienced getting box trucks in tight spots or have a good understanding of the neighborhood. Check out our service area. We have done jobs in every area listed.

Do they have experience in the type of service you need?

At All Clear we know that a hoarding situation calls for a different set of protocols than a garage clean out. Some of the hoarding jobs we have done in the past need a referral for a reputable pest control company when the job is done, and we are able to refer those services. We know that an eviction clean out might need the property handled in a way that follows certain rules and regulations. An estate clean out brings a whole new level of emotion and sensitivity to the job. Make sure the company your choose has done such jobs in the past and are well versed in what it takes to do them well.

Do they have the necessary equipment and manpower to perform the job in a timely manner? Is the junk removal company giving you a hard estimate of how long it will take to complete the job? We all know that things happen that might affect how long a job takes to complete, but at All Clear, we've done enough jobs that we are usually on point when we give an estimate on the time it will take to complete a project. That is something that a company learns with experience.

Are you looking to support a local, family-owned business, or just looking to have your junk removed?

There are national companies that may not stand behind their work like a local company will. At All Clear Clean Out and Junk Removal we know our reputation is on the line with every job. The buck stops with us. You won't have to contact a call center with questions about your job. We are here to get the trash out and take a load off your mind.

Take some time to check out the reviews of the company you are thinking about hiring. There are some companies that look like they have more reviews than customers. This could be considered a red flag. We know from experience that not every client will take the time to leave a review no matter how happy they are with our service, and many of our clients do not have a Google account in order to leave a review, so if you see a company that has a large number of only positive reviews, take the time to make sure those people who left the review are local to determine if they actually did business with that particular company, or the local branch of that company. At All Clear Clean Out Services we pride ourselves on a positive reputation. Check out some of our reviews. We have several locations throughout Chicagoland and NW Indiana to serve our clients best. Over the years we have helped thousands of individuals and families with their clean out projects and have the experience you need.

And finally... get an in-person quote to make sure you are comfortable with the people that will be working on your property. Just because someone gives you a great price over the phone doesn't mean they will honor it once they see the project in person, or that the quote will be accurate.

We are here to help. Feel free to reach out to All Clear Clean Out & Junk Removal with any questions you may have or to request a quote for your project.
