Furniture removal.

Furniture removal is priced by volume, which means how much room your load takes up in the truck, not by the hour and not by the item. One sofa is a small load; a whole apartment is a big one. You get your number in person, standing next to the furniture, before anything is lifted. If it doesn't work for you, we leave and there's nothing to pay.

Yes. A single sofa, one mattress, one dresser is a normal call, and single items are usually the quickest jobs of the day. Tell us what it is and where it is, and we'll tell you straight what taking it away looks like.

No. Leave it where it is. We do the carrying, including up and down stairs, out of basements, apartments, back gardens and carports. If something needs taking apart to leave the room, say what it is when you call and we'll tell you straight before we drive out. We sweep the space before we leave.

That's the whole business. Call (408) 202-9877 and in most cases we're there the same day, often within a few hours. Call in the morning and the room is usually clear by the evening. If the day is already full we'll tell you straight on the phone instead of booking you and not turning up.

As little as possible goes to landfill. Furniture in usable condition gets donated rather than thrown away, what can be recycled gets recycled, and scrap metal is separated out. The rest goes to a licensed transfer station.

Hazardous waste is the one thing we can't carry: paint, solvents, motor oil, chemicals, asbestos and medical waste have to go to a hazardous waste facility, because the transfer stations we use won't accept them. Tell us what you've got when you call and we'll say yes or no before we drive out.

Every week. Offices get desks, chairs, filing cabinets and cubicle panels cleared, often after hours if that's when it works. Landlords and property managers get a unit emptied the day it turns over, so it's ready to show. Businesses can have us come after hours, and whole floors are cleared in a day rather than a week of small trips.
