Junk Rats...Do not use this company!!! Mike and Bruno came to my house. I told mike all this junk needs to go how much. He gave me a price. He never said only what we can fit into one truck load. They filled a truck load and said if I wanted to get the rest cleaned I had to call and make another appointment. They also left a big mess and didn't bother cleaning up. Do not use this company. When I called the office all they told me is sorry and that's how we do business.. so I tell you I need this all removed you give me a price and then leave and tell me to call and pay for another

1-844-JUNK-RAT just finished hauling a couch and love seat from my home and I must say, this company is phenomenal! First of all, when I did the scheduling with Nyjal, he had a fantastic attitude and a great personality. He also let me negotiate until we found a price we both agreed on. Nick and Santos were the men who removed my couches and they were both so nice and helpful! What lovely people who work for this company! I highly recommend them if you need something removed from your home.

The Junk-Rat team saved me this week. The awful Bagster people screwed me with bogus claims. Junk-Rat to the rescue! The team arrived in the promised timeframe and did an awesome job. Everything was gone and for the quoted price. Everything was perfect for the open house. Thank you so much!!!!

Would never call them again!! Postponed us twice, then didn't show up when they said they would. Missed their one call, and when I called back a few minutes later they said they had driven by the house and no one was there which was a blatant lie! I had been there the whole time. Needing to finish before a final move-out deadline, they put me in a real bind late of a Saturday afternoon.
