Frequently Asked Questions
Can you give an exact price over the phone?
Sometimes for a single, simple item (like a mattress or refrigerator). For hot tubs and sheds, it is often more accurate to price on site.
Do you remove the item the same day as the estimate?
Often yes. A common approach is: the team arrives, provides a price on site, and removes the item immediately if the customer approves.
Why do some people feel on-site pricing is “pressure”?
Because the crew is already there and ready to remove. But it is also an industry standard approach that avoids inaccurate phone quotes and extra trips.
