I just said goodbye to Michael and Sam, and they checked all the boxes that a customer looks for:
Friendly, polite (not the same thing), smart, professional, careful and fast. I may have some more work in the near future, and if I do I will call JunkMD and I will request Michael and Sam to do the work.
JunkMD was able to dispose of our defunct freezer in a timely fashion. They were very communicative, giving us a small 2 hour window in which they were to arrive, and were on-time and quick to finish the removal and loading.
I called them on a Saturday morning and they were there that same afternoon to pick up what I needed removed. The person on the phone as well as the folks who came to pick up the stuff were professional, kind, and efficient.
