Good to know
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, just call or text — we're happy to talk it through.
Most jobs are priced by the trailer load. For just a few items — roughly one to three — we charge for only those pieces instead of a full load. Bigger jobs like demolition are priced to match the work. Either way, you get a clear quote up front, free.
Nope. As long as the items are accessible and you've left payment or arranged to pay online, we can handle the whole job while you're out. We'll confirm everything's done.
We take most things, so just ask — the worst we can say is no. Furniture, appliances, yard debris, construction junk, whole-property clean-outs and more. If you're not sure about an item, send us a photo and we'll let you know.
Depending on the day's schedule, we always try for same-day service. Reach out early and there's a good chance we can get to you before sundown.
We accept cash, check, or Venmo. If you won't be home, just leave payment out or settle up online before we head over.
We're based in Columbia and cover all of Monroe County — Waterloo, Valmeyer, Hecker, Smithton, Millstadt, Dupo, Maeystown and more — plus the surrounding metro east like Belleville and Red Bud. Outside that radius? Ask us; we often make the trip.
