Big Lu’s Hauling

Big Lu’s Hauling is one of those small local outfits you end up hearing about the same way you hear about a good mechanic—somebody used him once, it went smooth, and now they just keep his number. Folks around the 805 call him “Luis” like you’re supposed to know who that is, and honestly… you kind of do after you’ve been around jobsites and property turnovers long enough.

And the pattern in the reviews is pretty consistent: **on time**, **same day**, **quick response time**, **easy**, **no stress**, **no fuss**. That tells me a lot about how he runs it. He answers the phone, he shows up when he says he will, and he doesn’t make you chase him down. How many junk guys can you say that about?

Pricing comes up over and over too—**fair price**, **reasonable prices**, **very great prices**, **very reasonable cost**—which usually means he’s not playing the “we’ll see when we get there” game. But if you’ve ever had a crew roll up and start adding mystery fees once the pile’s in front of them… you already know why people mention “fair” so much. They feel like they got a straight deal. Do you want the cheapest guy, or do you want the guy who **gets the job done** without headaches.

Plus, people keep calling out the way he treats them: **polite and respectful**, **very friendly**, **professional**, “takes pride in their work.” That’s not fluff—junk removal gets messy fast. Old furniture, bagged-out garages, random “unnecessary stuff,” tight stairwells, moves happening at the same time. Yet he “handled everything carefully,” helped with loading, and kept it “clean and fast.” That’s a working style, not a slogan.

However, what stood out to me is the repeat-use and community angle. You’ve got a nonprofit saying he “consistently delivers,” and a customer pointing out he donated usable furniture instead of just tossing it. A lot of haulers talk about that. Fewer actually take the time to do it when the truck’s already half-full and the day’s packed.

But here’s the real tell: people say “I’ll definitely be using him again” and “will definitely be calling him for future jobs.” In this line of work, that’s the whole report card. Big Lu’s feels like the kind of dependable local junk removal company that shows up, charges fair, works fast, and stays easy to deal with—one of the better names floating around the 805, and it keeps coming up for a reason.
