First, Google is your friend. Google can help you narrow down haulers in your area and provide insight to their company via reviews. Second, when shopping around always ask what location the hauler services. A hauler outside of your neighborhood may charge more to accommodate for the distance. Next, know your budget.

Also, be honest about all the items you wish to have removed. Give as much information to the hauler during the initial call as you can. This will help to ensure you are quoted the best possible price and that there will be no surprises when the team arrives for the job. Lastly, were they professional on the call? And did they communicate their availability effectively. First impressions are important. A reputable hauler will be friendly, professional, and ask all of the above questions to ensure they are providing the best service possible.
