He helped me understand the pricing and even offered to allow me to keep the dumpster for a couple days so I can load at my own pace, which was exactly what I was looking for. He was even able to drop the dumpster off the next morning! My driveway is on a tilt and he secured the trailer to make sure it remained safe and in place while I loaded. He accepted Venmo which was super convenient for me. Closer to pick up time he informed me that it will be raining soon, which can soak the junk and make it heavier at the dump which might cost more, so we scheduled our pick up sooner because of his thoughtful recommendation. Thank you S&J!

Too add salt to the wound i found a letter stating that if I didnt clean my property in a set amount of time that I would need to pay a fine. Thats when I got a hold of S&J junk removal and they were able to come out give me a reasonable estimate and completely handle the situation with a quick turnaround and excellent work (see after pic) and alleviate me of not only of a huge headache but of a big fine.

Danco Builders have become the slumlords of Humboldt County. They are so buisy investing in more…read moreand more properties (including the entire town of Manilla) that they are unable to invest manpower or money in up-keeping the properties they are already managing. Their tenants tend to be poor hard working families who can't afford legal aid and have received threats that if anyone is to seek legal aid that "Dan will make their life a living hell." Their properties are built taking as many shortcuts as possible including not insulating walls correctly and in some cases leaving the ground Flores as cement slabs, no padding, no carpets or vinal floors. The apartment spaces they are building are becoming smaller and more cramped. The properties that they have had the longest are in need of repairs but "there is no budget" is the common answer. There are not enough security measures taken. Management is often unreliable or unreachable. The landscapers and maintenance people are spread too thin between all the properties that they have squired over the past few years. The price used to be fair but this year, during covid, they raised the rent by $100 on some properties despite the fact that they are providing less services, the buildings are molding, the garbage containers are unmanageable, parents are not held responsible for their children's actions, vandalism/robbery/and property damage have become a regular daily experience for tenants. Dan seems very hands off and does not hold up the written expectations of how management should behave. They are renting to people who have violence and drug issues. They are not providing a safe trustworthy environment in which to discuss issues. Instead they have started virtual town hall meetings that create animosity between neighbors and between management and tenants. When I first came across one of the properties 20 years ago, it was a beautifully kept property with extremely responsible management and a security guard on sight. The edible landscapes were up-kept and there was enough dumpsters for everyone's refuse. This is no longer the case. Our poor land lady is now managing three properties which is not working out well. There is trash all over the property due to kids, overflowing dumpsters, dumpster divers and homeless dumpster-divers and dwellers that live among the treeline of the property. When witnessing violations of the lease and reporting said offences are dismissed by management. Like smoking on the property, drug use, ignoring curfews, destruction of community property, bullying, unsupervised children, dogs off leash, etc. Moral of the review Danco is not what they used to be ... And they are stretching their employees too thin. Overworked and underpaid. Very dissatisfied with living in these complexes. So much room for improvement! Their investors should be made aware of how their investments are being misspent.

My unit was floor level with drive up, super-easy access. All my drop-ins and outs were a breeze including the final, move-out! The few times I suffered financial difficulties they were always patient and worked with me; treated me with respect and a friendly smile. Now, if you've dealt with as many self-storage, employees as I have you'd agree that this is rare.

We noticed a poor review and the only thing we could think of was there were two management changes since we have been there, but this most recent one is the best ever. And Nate is there to help out always. If we could give 100 stars, we would, but there are only 5 available. We highly recommend Sutter Central Storage in McKinleyville if you are looking for an excellent place to store your things and an intelligent and caring person to manage your experience there.

Hello, This is the second time in Eureka Ca I have used Handle it Junk Removal in a year and the service was spot on just like my first encounter. I had been working for months persistently calling contractors to help with an endeavor and only one local contractor called me and one sign business emailed back replying to my request for a job offer, sadly they were not interested in the job. So, I thought it was an odd request yet, I sent an email to Handle it Junk Removal with a brief description and was promptly replied to within an hour. I picked a day for an onsite visit and Jason showed up and we discussed the project. This was a little out of the ordinary request I needed a sign removed. Jason was quick to undertake the task, did the research and safety protocols and replied back to me the same day. We set up an appointment for the next day to undertake the project. Jason and his helper came dismantled the sign and removed it in less than 2 hours, once it was carefully thought thru, it turned out to be a fairly simple removal, yes, I did not have to do it :). Thank you for your service and commitment to your customers. This quality of service and impeccable follow through is highly appreciated and much needed in our community. Hands down Handle it Junk Removal are the people and family business to call for all of your Junk Removal and more needs!! Thank you read more
