This review is long & is also long overdue- but I’m hopeful that the “better late than never” phrase also applies to business reviews. :) It is a longer review as I have now worked with this company on 4 separate occasions over the last year & I have to say they have done an excellent, above & beyond job every single time. I’ll speak to more details about my experiences with their services in a sort of chronological fashion further down, but for those short on time or just scrolling through reviews quickly, let me go ahead & say that there isn’t one part of any one of my experiences working with them when they didn’t exceed my expectations on every aspect of the job they did. This applies to their many options of availability, the ease of booking future jobs, their final price & estimate, to flexibility & efficiency during the job - all the way through to now months & months later knowing & trusting their services were completed with integrity after my having checked & rechecked over time to make sure there weren’t any negative security &/or personal financial issues that have occurred from trusting them to haul off on at least one occasion, at least a box or two of what could only be described as a lot of paperwork that contained at least one person’s personal information/documents- who has to date not seen any evidence that the information was found, stolen or used in any way against them- which was a concern I know they had & some people having boxes of old papers etc. might also be wary of having done. They have been truly great to work with. I’ll provide more specific information about my experiences with them for those that might be in need of anything similar or be in a similar situation. First of all, the AVAILABILITY concern; all 3 times I used their services, the situation was pretty much the same in so far as I needed the service done within days & only had a fairly specific window if time I needed to have it done within. They were easy to work with & able to work out a day/time that worked for me, plus they were flexible on how long the job might take. Second, the ESTIMATE; they have not ONCE charged me for more than the estimate they quoted me. Now keep in mind not once did I later, at the time of the job- require more people or a bigger haul vehicle than what I booked them for- which in my opinion if it does happen should change the final cost & should be more than the estimate - as you the customer are changing the job! Third, PUNCTUALITY; they have arrived at least 10 minutes early to every job, & even waited the 10 min+ out in their truck to allow for me to finish my part up & go meet them outside to start working. Fourth, the WORK & STAFF; they have always sent capable people, who were trustworthy, friendly, efficient who have all gone above & beyond in their own ways to be helpful & accommodating. The BEST example I can share about this was with the first job I hired them for; still having room in their vehicle after loading the truck with what all I had shown them to take away, & knowing & seeing I was still working to clear out a garage & side storage area of more things- they repeatedly came back up the driveway to offer to take items that they could see I was either putting in a trash pile or clearly would be thrown out when I got to that area. So if you are going to be kind of still working out what needs to go up to & on the day they come- they are willing in my experience (their time/schedule permitting of course) to continue to load up more junk to fill whatever size vehicle you have booked them for- for no additional fee. I’ve read where other junk haulers tried to charge all kinds of money just to take one additional lamp or box more than what was told to them days or weeks in advance would need to go- even if it’s asked within the original timeframe they are booked for & even when there is additional space in the vehicle booked to haul things away in to add it to. Something to keep in mind if you are in a similar situation & in general when booking what size or number of trucks you will need to haul your stuff away in. My advice would be to over - not under - estimate your needs. If you are worried about possibly wasting money doing so- the final part of this review & other personal story I’ll share is about just that. Fifth & finally, when it comes to ESTIMATES & FINAL COST; so the 2nd job I booked them for I was originally going to have some junk items a relative needed thrown out brought over to my garage to be hauled away with my own junk as well, so I booked with that in mind. However on the day of, the relative was unable to get those things over to me so I ended up having less to take away than I had told them about. They actually called me after my things were loaded up, to tell me they were only CHARGING ME FOR MUCH LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE, even though (since they didn’t know until arriving that I didn’t need as much hauled away) they had still sent the original number of workers & vehicles I had asked for (to haul what I thought would be more away) to my house already! AND those additional workers didn’t just leave with their vehicle when they saw it was a smaller job- they helped the other team so it actually took LESS of MY time to complete the work & the company STILL only charged me as if I had booked the much smaller job it turned out to be. That kind of thing is virtually unheard of & instead you read review after review of companies trying to charge more than the estimate any chance they can get for any excuse they can find. If that’s your worry, has been your experience with junk haulers in the past- or if you are simply nervous about hiring anyone to take away junk that might have some sort of information within it you are nervous about not personally seeing disposed of or getting in the wrong hands- THIS IS THE COMPANY FOR YOU. If none of that applies or it all applies & really what you want is an experience where you quickly & easily hire a company to do a job & want it done on time, with minimal additional effort on your part & for a fair price that both parties agreed upon & honor- THIS IS THE JUNK HAULING COMPANY FOR YOU. If you are unsure about the job you need doing and what is possible to do for how much money- and need an honest & friendly person in the junk hailing business to discuss your junk hauling concerns/needs with - THIS IS THE COMPANY FOR YOU. I’ve already recommended them to close family/friends for their possible Spring Cleaning/Moving/Redecorating/Garage Clearing Out needs- & have zero reservations about recommending them to you. Just be sure to treat them well, they are good guys- & please, after your positive experience with them DON’T be like me & instead review them sooner rather than later. If you don’t you might forget about doing it at all or only remember months later…like everything else in this review, I am speaking from my own experience :)

CA Junk Haulers is by far the best junk removal company in Los Angeles. Nobody can compete with their affordable prices and superior professionalism! The owners JJ and Brian and his team are communicable, detailed, and considerate. When we asked for an initial quote over the phone they offered to come to the site to inspect for better accuracy. They remained honest with their capabilities and time frame to finish the job. They surpassed our expectations and delivered quality service! Thank you for CA Junk Haulers !

I reached out to numerous companies for quotes to remove a piano and the prices ranged greatly. I ultimately chose a different company with a slightly lower price point but after their flakiness, I contacted California Junk Haulers. JJ called me immediately and within 20 minutes they were at my family’s house taking away this item. I appreciate the amazing customer service and professionalism with this pick up. I felt confident in my mom’s safety for JJ and his team to arrive to pick up the item from her place. They were really sweet & respectful to my mom as well. Mom is now relieved of this stress thanks to this kind and professional team. Kindness seems to be hard to come across lately, so this company’s customer service truly just won us over. I will keep their info handy for any future needs. I highly recommend them.

I had a good experience with California Junk Haulers. They were quick to respond, scheduled the job for the next day, and finished it quickly and professionally. The only negative was that their price went up from what I was quoted on the phone (based on pictures) to what they quoted me later in person. Even then they were priced competitively compared to others I contacted for the same job. Would use them again.
