I hardly know how to begin singing the praises of Jim at Hauling Is My Calling. Every single aspect of dealing with Jim has been a real pleasure -- his immediate (and articulate) response to my inquiry for hauling help, his low bid, his willingness to accommodate my schedule, his prompt arrival at the appointed time, his friendly conversant nature as he worked, his eagerness to take on more items than I had originally intended, and especially his he-man, gung-ho "nothing is too big/heavy/tough for me to move" approach (including a piano!) won me over completely. The guy is a rare combination -- a workhorse and a gentleman. Now I only wish I had more stuff to get rid of. read more

There is a reason there are so many great reviews for this business. Jim's service is just that kind of a service. We've had to have multiple trash removals due to the previous owners and I've looked forward to seeing Jim every time. A truly nice guy with a great work ethic. Jim is super-friendly, efficient, punctual, strong!, and goes above and beyond. His prices are extremely fair and affordable -- since the fires this has been a true blessing for people who are still trying to eek out a normal living. I would refer Jim to anyone, and you get the added bonus of knowing you are supporting a great local person. read more

I had to move a big screen TV, about 250 pounds from Cloverdale to Hayward, a two-hour trip one way! I called Jim after getting turned down by numerous, so called "Big Name" movers. It was short notice, but Jim didn't mind! His son Nick met me at the location, strapped the TV in. Nick made absolututely sure everything was secure. We arrived, he helped with getting this huge TV out and into the house. He was so nice and expert at the job! IF YOU HAVE ANY MOVING OR HAULING ANYWHERE IN THE BAY AREA...CALL JIM "HAULING IS MY CALLING"!! And the prices are unbeatable!! read more

What a pleasure it was to find Jim today. I had a really small job and fortunately found Jim on Craig's list. He answered the phone while in the middle of a job and patiently discussed my situation at hand. He was able to fit me into his busy schedule on the very same day, at a very fair price. I was able to communicate with him through out the day with additional information and changes to the plan. I appreciate his gentle nature, attention to detail, can do attitude and trustworthy integrity. I highly recommend him and will use him again in the future. read more

I found Jim on Craigslist, and liked what I saw and read about him. I'm from out of town, but needed to find someone in the Petaluma area to do some serious dump hauling for my sister, prior to her move. Jim could not have been more helpful in setting up a time when I could be there to organize for the hauling. The day went very well, Jim was a true professional; hardworking, fair...and a really nice guy to work with, we were very impressed by him and have no doubt you will be, too. Thank you Jim! read more

Jim was especially prompt in replying to us, was able to give us same day service, and all at a more than reasonable price. We were able to text him pictures of what needed to be hauled and he replied with a quote that he honored upon job completion. We have used other hauling services and have not returned to them for other hauling needs. We will be using Jim exclusively going forward. Fast, friendly, and honest - we can't recommend Jim highly enough. read more

I called Jim for the first time on a Sunday, late in the afternoon. I needed to discard an old chair that I had no room to store at my house. Jim said he would take the chair even though this was a small job and it was not normal business hours. This is the kind of customer service that is rare and that is so valuable to our community! Thanks, Jim, for being a local business that really serves! Ellen, Cotati, CA Jan 2019 read more
