Done With Junk

Done With Junk is one of those Simi Valley outfits you hear about the same way, over and over—someone needed stuff gone *today*, made one call, and Mike just… handled it. And not in a flashy way. More like: he calls you back, shows up on time, brings the right truck/trailer, loads fast, and doesn’t turn your driveway into a debris field.

A lot of these reviews read like real jobsite language—*came quick*, *within the hour*, *next day no problem*, *responsive*, *easy to deal with*. That’s usually the tell. People don’t say that unless they’ve been burned by no-shows and vague “we’ll be there sometime” windows. Here, folks keep mentioning he arrived when he said he would, and he moved quick without rushing sloppy. Need a home construction project haul cleaned up? Garage clean out? Patio sets, love seat, trip hazards at your parents’ house? He takes the messy realities as part of the job, not an upcharge surprise.

Pricing-wise, the theme is *fair price*, *reasonable*, *competitive rate*, *best pricing I have ever come across*. But the bigger thing I notice is clarity—people feel good after paying. No weird pressure, no bait-and-switch vibe, no “now that we’re here…” nonsense. And if you’ve been around junk removal long enough, you know how rare that is. Plus he’ll problem-solve on the spot—like telling a customer he can make the extra patio sets fit so they don’t have to deal with Facebook/Craigslist. Who actually wants to spend another week meeting strangers in a driveway for $40?

And the cleanup keeps coming up. That’s the part most crews skip. Yet these guys pull items out, then *cleaned up after*, grabbed the debris and dust, left areas clean. That’s contractor-friendly behavior. It means they aren’t just “haulers,” they’re thinking about the next trade coming in, or the homeowner walking through barefoot later. You want the love seat gone, sure—but you also don’t want screws and splinters left behind. They get that.

The attitude sounds consistent too: friendly and professional, personable, polite, considerate, great people. You can tell Mike stays involved—lots of direct communication, and he runs it like a local owner-operator who cares what his name means. And when someone says “go-to” after three separate jobs, that’s not hype. That’s a pattern.

So if you’re asking what Done With Junk is really like to work with—think no fuss, on time, responsive, fair price, and they clean up like they’ve been on the other side of a jobsite complaint before. And around here, that reputation doesn’t happen by accident.
