4.9★ from 74 Google reviews. None of the captured reviews names Madera, so these are from other Central Valley customers.
“Really happy I saw these guys and gave them a call. Very professional as far as businesses go. Had tried coordinating with 4-5 other junk hauling services. Got zero calls back and had to pull teeth to get quotes. Adam and his buddy (forget his name but he was a harder worker too!) showed up the same day. Texted me along the way to the dump and followed up with me when they were on the way. Not saying it’s needed but the level of communication was much better than any other company that I contacted. Would highly recommend.”
“Adam and his team are super thorough and super reliable! Definitely recommend for all your junk removal needs! Friendly and professional!! Cleaned out my storage unit in less than 30 minutes!”
