They were fabulous. They arrived during the time window and the workers took great care in moving the items out of the condo. Definitely recommend them. Their prices are far better than the other junk removal service. A++++
Dave and team are the absolute best they are easy to work with very fair priced and do a fantastic job. It’s nice working with a family run business I will use their services again for sure !
Demetrius and Sam were awesome! This is my second time using Junk MD and they are always above and beyond what you would normally expect. Dave was able to fit me in last minute due to a logistics problem on our end and totally saved us! The crew is always super professional and easy to work with. Love them-they are the best!!!!!!
