Keep It Simple Junk

Keep It Simple Junk

When dealing with junk removal and deciding what you will and wont be getting rid of, it’s best to just keep it simple. No need to second guess it, you should just start dumping out items that you no longer need. Keeping it simple will help you alleviate your junk problem by getting rid of the non-essentials. If you haven’t used a particular item in more than 6 months, then chances are that you won’t be using it again and you should definitely dump it out and get rid of.

Of course the first thing you should get rid of is the trash that you definitely won’t need for anything unless you are a hoarder. If you are, that would be a whole other story where you would need some special help in order to overcome your fears and problems. Hoarding can be a dangerous habit to have which can not only be detrimental to your physical being but also to your mental state. Usually, a hoarder has very deep and cognitive problems that go beyond just the trash that they keep in their household.

So remember, this year or next when you begin your spring cleaning. Keep it simple and throw away things that you don’t require in your daily life. This will help save you a massive headache and stress!

Resolution Junk Removal

Disputes happen. Even if you’ve been studiously careful in selecting a demolition company something may go wrong and you could end up in a dispute with yourdemolition company. Here are a couple ways to resolve a dispute with a demolition company without going to court.

1. An informal meeting … You can do this either over the phone or in person. In person works best typically. Openly discuss your dispute with your demolition contractor and see if you cannot come to some sort of agreement. Be sure you read through your contract before hand. Make lots of notes and note what exactly what you want to talk about. Make sure you do more than just talk at your contractor. Make sure you listen to him as well. Avoid harsh language, name-calling, and negative emotions. People are less likely to offer solutions to a dispute or problem in the presence of emotion.

2. Mediation … Mediation involves you, a representative of your demolition company (probably the contractor himself), and a mediator. A mediator will discuss the situation, find the facts, and try to find a solution to your problem. Mediators can either by trained professionals or a neutral third party. In larger cities you can find mediation centers to help resolve your dispute.

3. Arbitration … Depending on your state you may also be able to resolve a dispute with your demolition company through an arbitration process. Not all states have an arbitration and you need to be careful. Some parties will only agree to arbitration if its binding which means that whatever decision is arrived at is final and won’t be appealed in court.

Of course, court is always an option if you have a dispute with your demolition company but court should be the last avenue to solving a dispute.

Floor Removal

Floor Removal

Removing an old floor can be a challenging thing to do especially if it’s old Linoleum with years of paste underneath it. The longer an linoleum tile stays stuck to the floor the harder it is to remove it. Sometimes the only option to remove old tiles like those are sheer brute force by destroying the tile completely. If your lucky, you can use a heat gun or a hair dryer to get the tile warmed up and loosen the glue. By heating up the tile you can get the tacky glue to start to loosen and let go of the old tile. the most annoying part though is that glue might stay stuck on the concrete in which case you might have to adhere to other methods like a scrapper which can be time consuming.

On the other hand, if you are dealing with ceramic tile or wood then you can easily break those old pieces off and start the demolition process that way. Removing these old pieces of wood and ceramic tile can be very easy with the correct tools in hand. Using a sledgehammer which can demolish almost anything in sight is your best bet.

After you have your pieces and junk on the floor it’s quite easy to scoop it all up and dump it out. If you need to get a dumpster you should go ahead and schedule one or a junk removal services.

Backyard Junk Removal

Our backyard wasn’t in terrible shape to begin with. I mean, we’re not hoarders or anything, but looking around our Thousand Oaks backyard this spring I realized that we could get rid of a lot of junk. We had the swing set we bought for our twins … twenty years ago. We had a set of beach bicycles that we never used. And a bunch of yard toys, like a ping pong table, we had bought for the kids over the year. 

I wanted to get rid of all that stuff and start fresh with a new garden. 

So our solution was to hire a junk removal service in Thousand Oaks that could clean out our backyard and haul away the junk we need hauled away. I spent about a week shopping around for a reputable junk removal service that served the Thousand Oaks area. I checked internet reviews, compared prices, and asked for estimates over the phone.

Finally we found a junk removal service in the Thousand Oaks area that met our needs and one that would also recycle our junk instead of just throwing it all away in a landfill. 

The backyard clean out process took about two hours. Our junk removal service hauled away the swing set, bicycles, and yard toys. They also helped clean out some junk — a few boxes of clothes and old CDs — from the garage.

Now in place of an old swing set we have a lovely flower bed and vegetable garden. Thanks junk removal services!

Hauling Services and Demolition Contractors in Los Angeles

Many demolition companies and demolition contractors in Los Angeles also have their own hauling service. Why do many demolition contractors choose to also operate their own hauling service? A couple reasons actually.

Many demolition contractors operate their own hauling service because they have the necessary equipment. A hauling service in Los Angeles often require large trucks and bobcats. Many demolition contractors have large trucks in their fleets and use bobcats for demolition work. So on weeks where demolition work is slow a demolition contractor can stay buys by doing junk removal or hauling services.

Quite often demolition work goes hand in hand with a hauling service. Hauling services in Los Angeles are used to quickly clean a demolition worksite. So instead of subcontracting to an outside hauling service it makes a lot more sense for a demolition company to have their own hauling service instead.

Why Do Demolition Contractors Prefer Hauling Services?

Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming positive response to our new blog. Our inbox has literally been flooded with questions about demolition contractors, demolition work, and hauling services. So we decided to to open up the floor and start answering questions. Besides, we were running out of demolition stuff to blog about. Haha, just kidding.

This first question comes from B.C. in Sherman Oaks: “Why do a lot of demolition contractors in Los Angeles seem to prefer using a hauling service over just renting dumpsters?

Good question! A lot of demolition contractors in Los Angeles prefer subcontracting out to a hauling service than renting a dumpster, because dumpster rental in Los Angeles is a nightmare. Hauling services in Los Angeles simplifies disposal of construction debris. Hauling Services also make the process of construction debris disposal. A hauling service saves both time and money. You wouldn’t think that a hauling service would save money but the money spent on a hauling service saves time in labor. Time saved with laborers in money saved.

Junk Removal Services Vs. Dumpster Rental in Los Angeles

Whether you are doing your own demolition work in Los Angeles, or are a demolition company doing demolition work in Los Angeles, you have essentially two choices for your worksite project clean up: Dumpster Rental or Hiring a Junk Removal Service in Los Angeles (sometimes also called a hauling service).

What Are the Advantages of Dumpster Rental?

Price is the biggest advantage in dumpster rental. When you rent a dumpster you get a dumpster. That is it. No labor, no trucks. Depending on the size of the dumpster you will pay a couple hundred dollars for a rental that ranges in time from a few days to a few weeks.

What Are the Advantages of a Junk Removal Service?

A junk removal service in Los Angeles brings their own equipment with them. Their own labor, their own trucks, and sometimes their own heavy machinery, like a bobcat for loading dirt. Using a junk removal service to haul away your construction and demolition debris can greatly speed up your demolition or construction process. Also a junk removal service doesn’t need a permit or to comply with strict regulations that accompany dumpster rental.

What Are the Disadvantages of Dumpster Rental?

Dumpster rental comes with quite a few downsides in Los Angeles. Mainly when you rent a dumpster in Los Angeles you run into a thicket of regulations and permits that strictly regulate where a dumpster can be placed. In most of Los Angeles you cannot put a dumpster on a street without a permit. In some sections of the city, like Beverly Hills, you cannot put a dumpster in your driveway even.

Dumpster rentals also come with weight limits for most types of construction debris. Going over that weight limit can incur costly overweight charges.

What Are the Disadvantages of Junk Removal Services?

Junk Removal Services in Los Angeles will generally cost more than dumpster rental. Although the price becomes competitive when you factor in the cost of permits and of over-weight limits of dumpsters/
