How to hire professional hauling company

20150129_101825Nowadays, a simple online search will provide us with a long list of local junk removal companies, but this information does not tell us anything on the real quality of service these companies provide. So, how does one filter all that information and find the best hauling company? This article will assist you in narrowing down the list to few good vendors.

Big vs Small junk removal operators

There are few types of operators in Vancouver. The really small companies are not really a real business. They are mostly guys with a rusty pickup, trying to make some extra cash. They will probably have the cheapest services, but they are rarely reliable.

The big guys are mostly reliable, but service fees can be astronomical if you are not careful to ask about details. The devil is in the details.

These are the two extremes, which suggests that there is a middle ground. This doesn’t mean that a middle size company will not charge you an arm and a leg and still give you a bad service. This is a possibility that can be avoided by reading the whole article.

How to avoid bad rubbish removal services

For $60 anyone can get a professional looking website. Don’t be fooled by such imagery. Certain aspects of a good business are hard to mimic, so try focusing on them. For example call each company and analyze how you feel about each conversation. Did they avoid certain questions? For example, when you asked about any additional fees in special circumstances. Were they rude to you? Good manners can be faked too, but I have noticed that bad companies are so busy ripping off clients, they miss that part of it. The culture of these companies are such that they can’t keep good customer service people for long. You have a good chance of sensing that culture.

Reading reviews online are useful but they can be tricky. Reviews that are posted on the site of the company are simply useless. They are mostly fake, so ignore them. Google and Yelp have somewhat reliable reviews. If you have a good sense for take talk, you will notice the fake reviews easy, but like I stated, these two places are pretty good for judging what kind of experience clients had with a particular company.

The online option can be completely avoided by simply asking neighbors and friends to recommend a hauling company, if they have used one. No other method is superior to that way. Once you find a good service provider, keep them, even if they are a bit pricey. Long-term, you will be a winner. Changing companies can be more expensive long-term.
