"Armando is by far, the best handyman I've ever hired. He spent an entire day helping me get my new home move-in ready. He was punctual, friendly, and super handy. I'm relieved to have found such a professional and qualified handyman. I will most definitely be hiring him again."

"This is the 2nd time I have used Amaya, and they are definitely my first choice for new projects around my aging (built 1953) house. This time, we wanted a removal of a built-in desk unit in a badly designed closet in what is our guest room/TV room, a reconstruction of the previous closet space to be more usable, with shelving, bi-fold doors and a re-centering of the closet on the wall, followed by a complete room re-paint. . Felipe, the owner, showed up quickly to view the room & deliver an estimate. The estimate was reasonable, and we gave the go-ahead. It took about 5 days total to do the removal of the desk unit and re-build the closet and shelving in more rational layout. Felipe and his team are amazing. They show up on time every day, get to work immediately, and finished much sooner than I expected. We took a walk around the exterior and Felipe did a good job of pointing out issues of concern (cracks, window leakage, etc.) that are now our next project with them! "

"Elias with EBM Construction was amazing. He handle many jobs for us in one week with incredible detail to his work. Elias showed up every morning on time and stayed till 7 pm. Elias installed two new doors in the entryway and to the backyard. EBM also torn down an old sunroom and repaired the deck. Elias also demoed a 50 + year old side fence between us and the neighbor and rebuilt a new redwood fence. EBM also handled all the demo materials and yard waste by hauling to the dump. Cannot say anything but great things about Elias and EBM Construction. We actually are having Elias scheduled for more help in our rehab. Secondary note the neighbors saw his amazing work and now want to use EBM Construction for their jobs."

"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again. "

FAQs for waste, junk, building materials and debris removal and hauling projects in Berkeley, CA

To throw out stained, broken, or infested mattresses or couches, call a junk hauler or take it to your local landfill yourself. If it’s infested with pests, you might want to call a pest control specialist near you. If you have infested furniture, there's a good chance you have an infested home, too.

Tipping furniture removal services is not mandatory, but it is a thoughtful way to acknowledge their hard work and professionalism. If you're pleased with the service, consider tipping junk haulers 5% to 10% of the total cost or $10 to $20 per worker. This is especially appreciated when the job involves heavy lifting, navigating stairs, or handling bulky items. Tipping not only rewards the workers for a job well done but also fosters a positive working relationship.

If your furniture is in good condition, you have a few options:

  • Donate to charities: Organizations like Goodwill, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, and GreenDrop often accept furniture donations and may offer free pickup services.

  • List online: You can list your items for free on local online marketplaces or community groups to find someone who needs them. Giving away your furniture not only helps you clear space but also benefits others in your community.

The cost to haul away junk depends on the haul’s size. A single item costs $60 to $150 to haul, with each additional item adding $20 to $40 to the total price. Hauling away a full truckload of trash or other junk will run $400 to $800.

Yes, some furniture retailers will haul away your old furniture when they deliver your new items. This service may be included in your purchase price or offered at a discounted rate. It's important to check with the store to see if they provide furniture removal and whether there are any requirements, such as a minimum purchase. Utilizing this service can save you time and effort in disposing of your old furniture.

In many cases, you can dispose of furniture in a dumpster, but regulations vary by location. Some areas prohibit items like mattresses or upholstered furniture due to environmental concerns. It's best to check with your local waste management authorities or dumpster rental company to understand what's allowed.
