My new couch arrived and I needed to get rid of the old one. JunkMD was surprisingly responsive and friendly. I was able to schedule the job the same day I called. Dave was very professional and friendly. I was impressed with how easy and enjoyable the whole process was. I would recommend Junk MD to anyone who was looking for this service.
This company was the most reasonably priced and they responded very fast. I called and no one picked up with the voicemail option offered. I hung up and was going to look for another company, but they immediately called back. They asked what furniture I had and gave me the lowest quote and scheduled for the next day.…
Jesse and Chris with Junk MD+ were fantastic. I called to have a sectional couch, office L shaped desk, office chair, hauled away along with a few other items and they took them apart and quickly hauled them off for me. A very professional, efficient, friendly crew.
