Basement Cleanup in Scranton to Start 2020!!!

January 6, 2020 by dustinbowen7, posted in Blog, Uncategorized

At one point or another, each property will undergo renovations. Tearing down walls, adding doors, windows, kitchen demo, the list goes on. The end result is (hopefully) the desired upgrade, but what about the scraps? The boxes of the new floor, the wood trimmings that were not needed, where do they go? Good News! Junken Monkeys Hauling company removes these materials!

Our all inclusive service, which includes all the work, allows you to pile up the debris and allows us to can it up and take it away! Speaking to our clients, this has been found to be the easiest means of doing “DIY” renovations.

We use different techniques in the removal of the debris. Some of our favorite tools include shovels, tarps, garbage cans, gloves, and of course a broom for such removals. Although we are not a cleaning company, we do our best to sweep up once the “bigger stuff” is picked up and removed.

Although we also are not a demolition team, we do know some companies that we highly recommend and can definitely point you in the right direction! We are always here to help you out, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask.

Have you been renovating your property? What were your techniques in keeping everything organized? Comment below and let us know!

Free Exercise Removal Month!

December 2, 2019December 2, 2019 by dustinbowen7, posted in Blog, Uncategorized

Huge Announcement!!

Each month, we will be announcing an “item of the month” in which we will be DEEPLY discounting a specific item or type of item during a month that it makes sense and that our data shows was a popular pick up item during that month last year.

This month is “FREE EXERCISE EQUIPMENT PICK UP”. We chose exercise equipment due to last December having multiple home gym items removed for clients- as well as allowing our clients the ability to make space for those New Year’s Resolution!!

We are here to help you! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to comment or message!!

Tis the season! As the cold and snowy weather rolls in, we politely ask that you bear with us. Sometimes even the most confirmed of appointments we can not make due to the weather. Our team’s safety, and your safety is our #1 priority.

What we CAN do:

From December to March we will begin booking appointments with 2 dates, in the event that weather prevents us from arriving for our initial appointment. We are confident that this will help prevent any issues with all parties scheduling.

Ready to book an appointment? Maybe just an estimate? Contact us today!

Man, it has been a CRAZY summer! We have been able to service many new clients, some old ones, and it was an EXTREMELY successful summer! We picked up two major duplex projects, one of which we will be finishing today, the other is a hoarder house project for the city with the end result of a Veteran’s center for Scranton! I must apologize…I have not updated the site as much as I would have liked to over the summer, but I am definitely striving to get better at this! Here are some things coming up from Junken Monkeys!

Trash Pickup done FAST!

This week we had the opportunity to clear out trash and debris from Pittston, PA. John and I set a timer, we got this cleaned up and were on our way to the next stop in 13 Minutes! In situations where we can, such as this, we are totally able to save our clients money as our labor fee was very very low.

Also, we always do our best to put your items back where they belong. Notice the garbage cans in each picture. Although not a cleaning company, we still take the extra steps to do our best to wow our clients.

While we have you, here are some of our newest posts:

No Shopping Cart Left Behind!

Discarded mattress, broken plastic pieces, and a shopping cart on a gravel and grass lot near a building. — Junk as seen upon arrival. A mattress, a shopping cart, and assorted junk

A patch of dirt and sparse grass beside a building with a gray wall and two windows, next to a wooden fence. — Junk as seen after Junken Monkeys removed the items.

A person pushing a cart approaches the entrance of a Gerrity's supermarket under a cloudy sky. — The shopping cart was in perfect shape. We returned the cart to the Shopping center it was removed from.

When we remove junk, we always do our best to, when applicable, return the items that may not be yours, or that were left to you, back to their home. This was the case in Scranton, PA when a client had some unwanted items left in her yard. This was unfortunate, but we did our absolute best to accommodate and help her out.

As you can see in the pictures above. Her yard looked awesome once these items were removed. The mattress and the other waste was brought to the landfill, but the shopping cart was brought back to Gerrity’s Supermarket in West Scranton. When we have the opportunity to do the right thing, we always do it. The shopping cart obviously cost the store money to get and help their customers, so we did our part to help out as well.

Other unique ways to help out our community is to donate and recycle. Some items that we always recycle is clothing, metals, paper, plastic as well as other furniture/necessities.

In terms of pricing, this particular project fell under our minimum charge category due to the small labor and very few items. This is a good example of how our minimum pricing works.

Today’s before and after pics from a shed had 2 dogs satisfied!!

I met this client yesterday. He is a good man and we had some awesome conversations. A fan of baseball, he was very proud of his two “puppies”.

Leo described one as “part polar bear” they were massive. Once we got the shed cleaned out, as well as its surrounding areas, he let his dogs out.

What transpired next was amazing. They both ran over to the area of the shed, and then began gleefully claiming the new space as each of theirs.

Little things, make Monday’s so much better!

Below are some before pictures of today’s shed-followed by after- the dogs were satisfied with the new space on the outside- the owner was more than excited about his new square footage on the inside! Enjoy the pictures!
