I explained that I needed furniture removed quickly as new ones were arriving shortly. They graciously accommodated me and arrived in a matter of hours. They were friendly and professional. I’m impressed and will certainly use them again in the future.
Awesome company! I will use them again in the future!! Quote given over the phone and picked up my furniture within two hours of my call. I highly recommend JunkMD!!!
So easy ! Will use again ! Not overpriced. Very nice gentleman came to take out some very heavy old furniture from our upstairs. They were efficient, quick and careful. Overall good experience. Was first time using this type of service. Would not hesitate to use again and will.
