I hear great things about this company. Except that they dont seem to update their information, I have tried to get an edit made and unlink this company from address, since a past tenant who owns this company and Has not lived at this address in about five years, its not even zoned for a business anyway. But Also should deal with their unpaid bills.…
Impressed with the efficient, professional, timely response I recd from my initial contact with David to the completion of the big haul away he and his crew did for me. They went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Junk MD
This company is awesome. I had a really bad experience with 1 800 got junk and called JunkMD after I decompressed a bit. They were Great! Polite, Professional and quick. I will absolutely use JunkMD everytime I need something hauled away! Thank You!!!
