Upright Junk Removal

Around Tulare/Visalia/Porterville, Upright Junk Removal has built the kind of reputation you usually only see when a small crew stays consistent week after week. Folks keep saying the same things in different ways: **easy to arrange the pick-up**, **easy to pay**, **quick response**, and they actually show up **on time** (or they at least **communicate his appointed time & reach out when he would be arriving**). That’s the day-to-day stuff that matters when you’ve got a jobsite moving or a house mid-cleanout. And yeah—when people can **send a picture**, get a **quote**, accept it, and have the pile **gone the next day**, that’s a no-fuss operation.

You see a lot of “junk guys” who only want the easy loads. But these reviews read like Upright will get into the messy realities: **years of clutter**, **huge unorganized mess**, yard junk, **brush**, even an **old shed that needed torn down**. And they don’t just drag stuff out and bounce. People mention he **left it spotless**, cleaned up **dirt/dust & brush**, broke down **heavy wood armoires**, handled **damaged (heavy) furniture** quick and efficient. That tells me they bring some pride to it, not just muscle.

Pricing-wise, the repeated theme is **fair price**, **reasonable**, **very affordable**, even “more than fair prices.” Contractors listen for that wording because it usually means the number didn’t magically change once the truck showed up. Plus, communication sounds steady—phone, text, in person, **responsive**, “scheduled us into his week,” “came out within a couple days.” Need something grabbed **same day** like an old couch? They’ve done that too.

Now, the reviews aren’t spotless. There are a handful of 1-stars claiming **no-show**, **late without calling**, **careless dented my wall**, **left behind items**, “on their phones.” But here’s what I notice as someone who’s watched this industry a long time: the owner replies to every one of those and flat-out calls several of them **fake/spam** or “wrong company,” and he asks for details. Is that the whole story? Who knows. But do you see a pattern in the legit feedback? Most locals describe the opposite—**on time**, polite, professional, job done fast, and they’ll use him again. If there’s any weakness here, it’s that when a complaint hits, the response leans defensive instead of just “we’ll fix it.” Yet the volume of repeat-use language—“will use them again,” “saved upright to my contacts,” “without a second thought”—carries weight.

If you want a crew that’s **friendly and professional**, moves fast, gives a **quote** off photos, and doesn’t make junk removal harder than it already is… Upright’s been running like a solid, dependable local outfit, and that’s why their name keeps circulating.
