“Easy to interact with. Removed my junk in a timely manner. Call them today! Dec '25 I used Papi's Removal again to have them take a hot tub out of my backyard. Adam, Daniel and the team were very courteous and had to problem solve due to a difficult removal. They hung in there and made it work through difficult circumstances. If you have any needs for removing anything that you don't want anymore I highly recommend that you contact the team because they want you to be happy. Aug '26”
