The Only Junk Removal Company in Charlottesville That Actually Answers at Night
Junk doesn't follow business hours. A pipe bursts at midnight and floods your basement. A relative passes away and the estate needs to be cleared before the weekend is over. You're moving out tomorrow morning and the last truckload didn't fit. You need someone to answer the phone right now — not a voicemail, not a callback form.
That's why we built our business to run 24 hours a day. When you call 434-230-4551 at 11pm on a Tuesday, Lucas answers. Same number, same person, same crew that shows up at your house. No call centers, no scheduling software, no "we'll call you back in the morning."
There's no extra charge for after-hours service. We charge the same price at 3am that we charge at 3pm. What we quote on-site is what you pay — after the job, never before.
When People Call Us After Hours
Most of our overnight and late-night calls fall into a few situations. You might recognize yours:
If any of these sound like your situation — call us. We figure it out. Same price, same crew, same quality regardless of the hour.
What to Expect When You Call After Hours
Call — someone actually picks up
Dial 434-230-4551. Lucas or Christian answers. Tell them what you need and where you are. Takes 2 minutes to get a game plan.
We schedule the fastest possible slot
Depending on crew availability, we can often get there the same night or first thing in the morning. We'll be straight with you about the earliest we can make it happen.
We show up, quote, and get to work
Our crew arrives on time. We look at the job, give you a firm price. You say go — we go. Payment after we're done. No surprises.
No Extra Charge for After-Hours Service
We want to be very clear about this because a lot of services charge a premium for nights and weekends. We don't. Our pricing is the same any time you call:
| Load Size | Price (Any Hour) |
|---|---|
| Single item (sofa, fridge, mattress, etc.) | $99 |
| Quarter load (2–4 large items) | $229 |
| Half load (full room, small garage) | $299 |
| Three-quarter load | $369 |
| Full truckload (full garage, estate) | $449 |
Payment after the job — never before. No deposits. No overnight surcharges. No surprise fees. The price we quote on-site is the price you pay.
New customers get 50% off their first job, up to $100 in savings. Military, veterans, healthcare workers, and first responders get 20% off any time they call. Just mention it when you schedule.
We're Not Just Available — We're Ready
There's a difference between a business that says it's open 24/7 and one that's actually ready to go at 1am. We're the second kind. Lucas and Christian live in Central Virginia. When you call at midnight, they're not calling back from a call center in another time zone — they're right here.
