Our family home was vandalized. My brother warned me not to go inside the house alone due to the evidence of squatters living there. I called the Junk King because I really needed help to get this house cleaned out.
That same day, John called and met me at the house to do a walkthrough. I was afraid to go inside. But John arrived earlier and had already walked through the house. (The doors were kicked in) This put me at ease...and I felt safe. The squatters set up their Hitachi to cook in the kitchen, their old bicycle frames were in the dining room, and piles of trash covered all the floors. It was a huge mess! Frankly, I was worried that he would look and walk away from this. Instead, John smiled and assured me that he and his crew would get the job done.
When Friday morning arrived, John and his crew, 2 dump trucks, and a bobcat were ready to work. Even though I was smiling on the outside, I was ready to burst into tears...But these guys were amazing. They smiled and were joking with one another as they worked. This alone was a comfort for me. I could breathe, relax, and laugh.
These young men were so kind, respectful, and hardworking. When they found family photos in the trash piles, they would set them aside for me. So kind. I left the house to run errands and give them the space to work. No need to bird dog these men...they get the job done.
While I was away, an inspector from the city stopped by. John explained to the inspector what had happened and the plans to clean out and secure the house. After listening, the inspector told John that he would try to hold off on his inspection so we can get things right. Thank you, John!
Bottom line, if you ever need help with cleaning out trash and junk, call the Junk King.
Their work was above and beyond my expectations. These men are AWESOME!
Thank you all for your kindness and labor ...and lifting this burden from my back.
May God bless you all...Sincerely, Teri Verkaik read more
