Mr Carter's Junk Removal

Around Derry/Londonderry, Mr. Carter’s Junk Removal has built the kind of reputation you only get when you actually show up and do the work—on time, no fuss, and without turning every little thing into an “extra charge” surprise. I’ve seen crews in this line of work that talk a big game and then drag their feet. But Brendan (and usually his brother or a small team) runs this like a tight local operation: responsive, punctual, and easy to deal with.

And the reviews keep circling back to the same pattern—fast response, same day quote, sometimes same day service. People text him photos, he gives an estimate based on photos, and then he follows through. You know how rare that is when you’re trying to line up a clean out or a couch pickup over a weekend? Folks mention text confirmations and reminders too, which sounds small, but in junk removal it’s the difference between “we’ll see” and a job actually getting done.

Pricing-wise, most customers call it fair price / very reasonable / honest pricing. Not “cheap-and-sketchy,” more like appropriate for the work, especially when they’re hauling heavy awkward stuff—trampolines, basketball hoops, basement piles, storage unit furniture, whole house clean out after a sale. Plus, they don’t just rip and toss. Multiple people point out how careful they are with furnishings—wrapping and protecting pieces, moving a piano without damage, “no damage” on a short move. That’s a big tell. A lot of junk haulers can load a truck. Not everyone can move or handle valuables without banging up your door frames.

But here’s the real-world part: this outfit doesn’t just do junk removal. They show up for the messy realities—demo and trash haul, torched shed demolition, reno debris, gutter cleaning, power washing, small repairs (exit sign, doors, decks, ceiling repair), even hanging pictures and curtain rods. That “odd jobs” angle is very New Hampshire-local-service-world. Need it done, need it done right, and don’t want to call five different guys? That’s where they seem to fit.

However, there is one review that hits the sore spot we all know happens in this business: someone says they agreed to do the work and then never returned communications. That’s not nothing. Yet when you stack it against the volume of “always prompt to get back to me,” “communication was the best,” “responded immediately,” it reads more like an occasional drop than a standard operating style. Still—if you’re on a tight timeline, you do what any contractor would do: get the quote in writing over text, confirm the day before, and keep a backup number in your pocket. Have you ever had a hauler ghost when you’re staring at a full basement and a closing date?

And what stands out most to me is the tone customers use—pleasant and kind, friendly, professional, decent individuals, works above and beyond. People don’t talk like that unless the crew’s attitude stays solid even when the job is dirty, heavy, and inconvenient.

If you want a local crew that’s usually fast, reliable, priced great, and actually cares about how the job looks when they leave, Mr. Carter’s is one of the safer calls around here—and folks keep them on speed dial for a reason.
