This is Halloween, This is Halloween…Time to Haul Out Old Junk

Facebookgoogle_plus

Get Organized For Halloween in Orange County

All of us at OC Junk Hauling want to wish everyone a Happy Fall and an enjoyable beginning to the holiday season.  Everyone loves the holidays and it seems each year the “holiday season” starts earlier and earlier and last longer.  As soon as September closes the “Halloween Month” begins, then its “Thanksgiving Month,” then the “Chanukah –Christmas” month, finally ending for a bit on New Years.  These are some fun times for most families.  You get to switch up foods, buy candy, and put up decorations.  You’ll buy new decorations for the home and yard, as well as, put up your old favorites.  Giant pumpkins, scary monsters, cobwebs—your imagination is the limit.  As you go through your attic, basement, or garage looking for decorations for the house and yard you now have an excuse to throw stuff out and begin to clean things up (and make room for more, of course).

Decorations can only go so long without getting broken, faded, dusty, or even nibbled on my critters.  No decoration lasts forever, and those that go outdoors then come back to a damp basement or garage certainly won’t.  This is the best time, right before Halloween, as you are pulling out decorations to also get rid of the ones that are broken or in bad shape. Routinely we throw out yellow Christmas trees this time of year for our clients that were once white but are now yellow with age.  After all, who wants a yellow Christmas tree or a dilapidated giant pumpkin?

The good part about clearing out old decorations is being able to then get new ones.  The stores are filled with the neat new designs each year, and when you are willing clean up the broken ones and get them to the junkyard you deserve to be able to buy more.  It seems like each year the decorations get more high tech, more exciting, and even cheaper.  When we were kids no one had the giant inflatables except shopping centers and event stores.  Today everyone has them.

It’s that time of year to haul out old junk and bring in new fun.  At OC Junk Hauling we’re excited to help you in this endeavor. We are professional residential  junk haulers who not only remove furniture, mattresses etc. but we also haul out old junk decorations . We, too, have the holiday spirit and love seeing homes dressed up.  We’re here to help you make room for more of the good stuff.

The Hidden Costs Of Junk Removal

Facebookgoogle_plus

Honest Junk Hauling Pros in Orange County

We’ve all experienced this before in a service industry.  You hire a company for a job, they show up and suddenly that job is more expensive or there are details that weren’t allegedly in the estimate, and suddenly you were talked into more effort and money than you had originally agreed upon.  This happens in every industry, even junk removal.  Bait and switch sales techniques are illegal, although they are hard to prove.  Essentially a company will advertise services for a below cost price or a price lower than the norm just to get customers to allow them into the home for an appointment.  Once there, the team will tack on reasons for why it should be a more expensive job.  Some customers will go along with it because you’re already in the home or because they really need that service.

OC Junk Hauling does not do this. OC Junk Hauling is a local Orange County based family owned business and we are always upfront with our customers about our pricing and surcharges.  We want to always make an effort to create an environment and reputation of trust.  This is why we provide free estimates and even pictures of loads so that the customer has a very good idea of what we will charge on the day that we show up to work. Our in-home free estimates enable us to give you a better price as we cannot always estimate the correct price till we see what your junk pile looks like.  Estimation tools are one way to help keep the cost down or let customers better understand the pricing, however, they’re not perfect.  We can estimate prior loads but once we get into a home there may be more items than they had originally showed our estimators.   However, we do our best to ensure that does not happen. We also explain upfront why some items cost more to dispose of—they cost us more to dispose.  Mattresses and tires are both items that we are charged extra for, as well as, items that cannot be recycled or are not biodegradable.

The costs of doing business in an extremely regulated county like ours can be high, especially when it comes to an area that the citizens here take seriously, like waste.  We do our best to keep our prices low enough that our clients can afford them, but honest enough that we can pay the taxes, fees, and our employees.  This isn’t always easy today but we believe that we have an efficient, well-run machine and that an honest business can stay afloat because an honest business will get referrals.  For this reason, we always tell you those costs that could be added into the job upfront so everyone knows what they are getting into.

We hope we have answered any questions or concerns you may have had about our junk removal & hauling pricing. If we haven’t please feel free to contact us at 949-424-9265. Check out our price estimator at https://ocjunkhauling.com/our-junk-removal-pricing/.  We are always willing to help you understand our business.

Construction Debris Has to Go

Facebookgoogle_plus

Construction junk removal in Orange County

Remodeling is fun—or it can be.  Remodeling an old home or giving a newer home a modern face-lift is something people take great pleasure in showing off after all the work is complete.  It’s new, beautiful, and an aesthetic way of demonstrating who you are to others around you.  It’s also a lot of work and can get pretty messy.  Messes can also be dangerous, at times which is why it often pays to remove debris as you go rather than let it all pile up.  Having someone come in to assist you in your remodeling efforts is always preferable, especially when it is something like removing debris and junk.

Make sure as you’re working to put all the debris in an outside spot that’s out of the way.  That makes it easier on you later (even if you should choose to remove the junk yourself).  Make sure that location is in a slightly raised spot so that you don’t have unfriendly animals attracted to it.  Anytime animals see shelter they start to get ideas about moving in.  Here in Orange County we have perfect weather for year round critter infestation, even reptiles.  A pile of junk is a perfect hideout for these types of creatures.

In addition to avoiding animals, you’ll want to be cognizant of the weather.  Never allow the debris to pile up too long or to be caught out in the rain. We might be facing a drought but last week’s unexpected showers can cause damage.  You don’t want to have to move wet debris—that’s the worst.  Mold can get into it making it even hazardous to remove.  Unfortunately, you can’t leave it indoors.  That could be potentially more dangerous, as it can cause slip and fall or other injuries.

Junk removal isn’t a fun job, but it is a necessary one.  Companies like ours help to reduce the headache you feel as you refinish your home, leaving you with only the happy stuff to look forward to. We’re there to do all of the dirty work and moving that you don’t want to.

Five Tips on How to Choose the Right Junk Hauling Company

Construction debris is just another type of junk we haul and we definitely have experience with tidying up after home remodeling or even a new build.  We’re a family business.  We have reasonable prices and this is the type of thing we love to help with.

4 Handy Tips For Decluttering Your Home Today!

Facebookgoogle_plus

Are you looking for better ways of decluttering your home?

Every house has little junk or excess of things that are not needed anymore. Regardless of how much junk or stuff you have, you can benefit from getting rid of clutter. This will help you to finally get things under control.

Decluttering is the act of removing things that create a mess, and obstructing your ability to use your living spaces with freedom. It is all about making spaces in your home for things that matter. By removing clutter from your home, your home gets organized, you find what you need when you need it, fully enjoy free spaces and give your mind and eyes a rest from unsightly heaps and piles of stuff here and there.

Here are a few helpful tips for decluttering your home in Orange County.

Work in small sessions for better output

If you think you can declutter your entire home in one day, think again. Decluttering takes a lot of time, effort, energy and concentration. You will be working on a number of things. For example – you will be sorting, identifying lots of items, and you will be making decisions as to what to do with those things. Working in small increments of time such as 20 to 30 minutes per session will accomplish a lot more. Plus, who on earth has a full day to devote to just removing clutter!

Have garbage and recycling bag handy

While decluttering your home, little things can make your job a lot easier. Having a handy garbage bag to collect your clutter is one of them. When working with your personal or confidential documents, you should run it through a shredder or destroy them before discarding them. Once you are finished with the job, place the clutter in the trash bag outside your home so that it does not have a chance to get back into your home.

Declutter your home completely

When you are decluttering your home, do the job completely. Take care of every part of your home just as you do while cleaning your home from top to bottom. Start from the top level of your home such as attic and bedrooms, and to the bottom level such as your basement and garage. This way no zone is left untended.  There is no perfect time to declutter your home. You should regularly declutter your home so that everything is in your control.

Hire professionals to help you in decluttering your home

You’ve done a great job in tackling the decluttering process in your home. Awesome! But now what…? What are you going to do with those bags of stuff you don’t need anymore? Please don’t let it sit in the garage and collect dust. Give OC Junk Hauling a call and we can come by to collect it all the same day. It is always a smart decision to hire a junk removal company in Orange County to help you remove clutter to make your home look neat, tidy and inviting. A professional junk removal company like OC Junk Hauling has right the knowledge, experience and equipment to do the job in a professional way. Plus, as a local family owned and operated business, our prices and customer service cannot be beaten.

Back to school junk hauling

Facebookgoogle_plus

Do you remember that commercial from Staples a few years back of the father pushing the cart singing, It’s that most wonderful time of the year….?  For many parents having the children at home all summer, whether they are kids or college students, is like having mini wrecking machines that create mess, bring in extra dogs, cats, lizards, and junk at a rate nearly impossible to compete with when it comes to cleaning.  While everyone loves their children, very few love the mess they can sometimes leave.  When August nears and the first day of school approaches parents get serious about cleaning the house.

Having a junk hauler come in and remove unwanted items is like seeing the cavalry approach when you’re down to your last few men.  It is help when you feel hopeless.  It’s chocolate after a breakup.  It’s ice cream when you have been dieting for weeks.  It’s—well, you get the picture.  Junk removal and junk hauling services do what you don’t want to do: clean out and clean up.

Our approach is to help you remove those items that you don’t need any more so that you can use the space for other things.  Older children leaving for college don’t need to come home to those 4 foot animals that they won at a carnival or their old Hello Kitty bedroom sets.  It also helps school-aged children to have a clean, clutter less space in which to study, think, and work.

Junk removal is a fresh start.  It’s a clean slate.  While we’re taking care of the big stuff, you can do your part to reduce the smaller items like broken toys or crayons.  Get rid of clothing they can’t wear anymore.  Throw out beat up shoes and ripped jeans.  Any DVD or Blue Ray case missing its content can go.  Boxes without games and game pieces are trash.  This is the time for you to wipe the slate clean and start over with a cleared and pristine (or as pristine as we can make it) space.  You can even do some serious remodeling if you are sending off a twenty-year-old for their last year of college.

Our junk hauling services are a way for you to get on top of the process and really get your life back on track.  Cluttered space is a cluttered mind.

Get rid of your Old Couch

Facebookgoogle_plus

Couches, Couches Everywhere and Not a Spot to Sit

Couches are one of the larger items we move.  With large ticket items like hot tubs we’ve found that many of our clients postpone having it moved because they think the cost will be too high, but with couches people will hold onto those for years thinking they can use it in another room, or could buy a slipcover and/or reupholster it.  We’ve been to places with 3-4 excess couches in basements, guest rooms, and family rooms because people hesitate before throwing away something they think is expensive.  When you’ve paid a lot for something and it’s not falling apart you tend to want to repurpose it.  Unfortunately, most of us underestimate free time or desire to use that free time to something like that, and the couches just get shuffled around from room to room until they end up in the garage becoming unusable.

No one needs couches hanging around that no one is going to sit on, and if you feel guilty about throwing out something that cost you a couple hundred dollars give us a call at 949-424-9265 and we can help you. We really care about the environment and your stuff and will try our best to give your couch a home. Almost 80% of our junk pickups are donated or recycled so you can rest easy knowing that your couch is not going to end up in a landfill.

No one likes clutter and couches take up a lot of space.  That spot you are using can fit any number of items (including a new couch).  When you remove furniture from the home you are not only freeing up space but also giving that spot a face-lift.  You can change the look and feel of a room. Plus, when you use our services and we can donate your stuff, you are also doing some good.

Our family OC junk hauling service takes your old furniture and moves it from the home, and many times to a place where it can be used by someone who really needs it.

Five Tips on How to Choose the Right Junk Hauling Company

Facebookgoogle_plus

 

As a family run Orange County junk hauling company we see a lot of repeat business and we hear a lot of complaints from clients who have worked with other junk haulers in the past.  Anytime you let someone into your home, whether it is junk hauling or painting, you are establishing a level of high trust.  Most of the time, it works out.  People are basically good.  Sometimes, however, it does not and people find their floors and walls scraped as items are moved from the house, and worse—they see their pets let out as people remove items from the back yard or through the back door.

Here are five tips on choosing the right junk hauling company in Orange County:

  1. Check ratings. That’s probably the quickest route and with Yelp, Google+, and other review sites there’s no excuse not to.  Anyone with a rating over 4 stars should be on your short list for consideration.
  2. Get personal referrals. Rating sites can be extremely useful, but in the days of Fiverr, people can also get paid to write awesome reviews.  Your friends, on the other hand, are going to give you the straight scoop.
  3. Find out the length of time in business. Anyone who has been in a junk hauling business for over five years is doing something right.
  4. Check with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB accepts and investigates complaints so that you don’t have to.  If there is a junk hauler out there doing folks naughty they will most-likely also have a complaint on file with the BBB.
  5. BUY LOCAL. Okay, okay so this may be a personal preference, but going with a local business over a national chain keeps the income in your area where it does some real good.  Whether junk hauling or eating out, going local is the way to go.

 

As a family-run junk hauling company here in Orange County we know who is doing it right and who’s not.  We like to think we’re the best in the area because of the type of care and attention we put into every job, but we also know there are some other great businesses out there who can do you right.  We live in this community and we want what’s best for all of our neighbors.  We try to keep our prices low enough that we are affordable, especially when we add so much value, but at the same time we just want you to be happy with whatever service you choose.

Hot Tub Removal & Recycling

Hot Tub Removal in Orange County

Who doesn’t love a hot tub? Residents of Orange County know that our weather is perfect for having a hot tub and will often have several in their lifetimes. The styles come and go in fashion. Sometimes the tubs will just not hold up, appearance wise. Other times the jets just don’t last after years and years of heavy use (not to mention critters that have fun with the wiring). When that happens moving a very large item like a hot tub can be problematic. Some of them may way several hundred pounds even though they are fiberglass. Others can be difficult to remove due to the installation. Most people who are replacing the hot tub or removing it will use junk haulers in OC or other removal companies rather than do it themselves—especially when doing it yourself can lead to injury and strain.
Are you by any chance stuck with a hot tub that your old tenant left behind? As a landlord, it’s no fun to be stuck with the job of getting rid of an old junk hot tub. Whether you’re a landlord, property management, or even a realtor, you might benefit from having a hot tub junk removal company come to remove the unwanted hot tub. Let us at OC Junk Hauling take care of your hot tub junk removal needs. Our spa and hot tub movers know how to get the job down without injuring your deck or landscaping. We know how to move large items and can do it far more quickly than you could yourself—and safely. As a locally owned and managed family business, our prices are very affordable.

When you book your job or want a free estimate, we will give you a two hour arrival window. Our friendly, uniformed service member will call you 30 minutes before arrival time.

If not, we really appreciate you giving us a chance.
