I have used this company several times. They always do a great job. They communicate well as to scheduling and they show up within the time window. Everyone I have worked with has been friendly, positive, and very capable. I recommend them very highly.
Found JunkMD in a sea of other businesses that provide the same services all with similar names. I noticed their perfect 5 star rating with an impressive number of perfect reviews. I read a few and decided that’s the type of operators I love dealing with.…
