Junk Removal for Charlotte Realtors

How great is it to be talking about “pre-recession”  numbers? That’s what appears to be going on in the Charlotte real estate market according to the Charlotte Regional Realtors Association. Based on their number crunching, they are happy to report that closings across the 10-county area shot up whooping 22.2 percent during the month of July from the same time a year ago. That follows 2,657 closings in the Charlotte area in June which was a nice bump from the 2,330 of closings that happened in June 2011.

There’s also good news about price points as well. The average sale price increased by 3.4% in July. That makes the sixth consecutive month of increases. “Pending contracts have always been seen as a gauge of demand,” says Jennifer Frontera, association president. “Contract activity has been elevated for nearly a year now. The fact that contracts are falling at this time of year shows that the market is now performing in a similar fashion to the way it did before the recession, with contracts and closings peaking in midsummer and falling as the selling season winds down.”

You can sum all of this up to mean that the Charlotte real estate market is bounding back. That puts realtors in the hot seat as they scramble to lock down listings. As a realtor are you playing it safe or thinking outside of the box? Thinking out of the box might have you considering foreclosed listings. A savvy realtor would connect with a bank or lending company to take over the old listings and any new ones that might crop up in the coming months. The banks might consider these “toxic assets” but there’s gold in every one of those houses if you know how to “mine” it properly.

We all know the value of staging a home but a foreclosed property might need a bit more work to get it ready for that phase. That’s where a company like Junk King Charlotte can come into play. Junk King specializes in professional junk removal. Home owners and apartment renters have turned to Junk King to help them clear out the clutter of their lives. As a realtor, you can tap into the same resources and have Junk King clean up a foreclosed property. Don’t worry about the condition of an abandoned home. Junk King has seen it all and they’re not afraid of a little hard work.

While the Junk King Charlotte crew is clearing out a property you can focus on preparing the listing and getting the word out about this terrific opportunity. In fact, Junk King will probably get that house cleaned quicker than you think. Hire them on a Monday. Clean up on a Tuesday and by the weekend that house will be ready for viewing by potential buyers. Make Junk King a part of your sales team today!

Cool Off By Clearing the Clutter in Your Charlotte Home

In the extreme heat of a summer in Charlotte everyone is being warned to stay cool. The usual proactive tips apply such as drinking plenty of water, staying indoors in the cool air and not over exerting yourself outside. It’s easy for us to make these adjustments but what about our four-legged friends? Think of it this way; as hot as you might be you’re still not covered in fur. That’s why we need to take special precautions for our dogs to make sure they can beat the heat too.

A Dog’s Best Friend is a local Charlotte grooming business where Amber Moore offers some sage advice. “As a groomer I have seen paw pads worn down. They start to tear.  The asphalt or pavement can be 10 to 15 degrees hotter than the actual temperature.  Remember if you wouldn’t walk barefoot on the sidewalk, don’t make your dog.”

You might think that shaving off that fur is a good way to keep your pooch happy. Actually could have the opposite effect by causing sunburn. Yes, keep your dog well groomed but he doesn’t need a buzz cut.

If you’re staying indoors because of the heat outside then that’s where your dog should be. Although you’ll have a hard time talking them out of going for walks it might be better to wait until after the sun goes down before heading out. In the meantime, stay cool in your own home by having fresh air circulating. Whether that cool  air comes from a fan or air conditioner it’s important that your home or apartment has free flow. What could be getting in the way of that proper air circulation is all the clutter you’ve accumulated over the years. Before it gets any hotter you might want to call Junk King Charlotte to help you get rid of that clutter.

Junk King is a local based business that specializes in professional junk removal. “Professional” is the key word here. When you hire Junk King you’ll be inviting a crew into your home that is licensed, bonded and fully insured. Those are only kind of workers you should be happy to hire!

With Junk King you’ll be able to finally get rid of anything that eyesore in your. Even if you have piles of old furniture or boxes of useless junk stacked in your garage there still an eyesore. Inside your home your closets could be stuffed floor to ceiling with junk that could just as easily be tossed out if you had the right help.

When Junk King Charlotte shows up for a job they’ll be bringing with them an empty truck that’s yours to fill up. Take advantage of that truck and clean out your house you’ll be amazed at just how cooler things will become.

Charlotte Refrigerator Disposal

A big shout out should be given to the Environmental Protection Agency for their Energy Star program that has been around for several years. The goal of Energy Star is to encourage manufacturers to make products which run on less energy. Less energy means lower bills for your and natural resource savings for everyone. Buying a refrigerator or stove or any other electrical appliance with the Energy Star rating means you’re doing your part. But what happens when you unplug that device and get ready to toss it out? Should the concern about the environment stop? Absolutely not. Which is why GE has teamed up with the EPA’s second major program WasteWise.

Once again this means manufacturers need to take the lead. In this case, GE is redesigning its line of refrigerators to reduce the amount of landfill waste generated by a single ice box. By adapting a new type of insulation and form of plastic, GE hopes to reduced the weight of a fridge waste by around 85% from an average of 55 pounds to just under 8 pounds. They have also put out the call that they’ll be on the receiving end of all those product materials like circuit boards, glass, foam and plastic that go into the composition of every refrigerator. Hopefully, the other major players will follow GE’s lead and get on board this program.

All of this points out the importance of proper refrigerator disposal. If you’re planning on swapping out your old model for a new and improved version then you want to make sure you take care of junking that ice box the right way. The “wrong way” is leaving it around your home or property. If you don’t lock up that fridge or remove the door you could be facing some very serve fines. The law on the books makes it a crime not to secure any refrigerator you’re not using. To avoid that hassle, what you should do is hire a team of professional junk haulers who can not only get rid of your fridge but do it the right way.

Most people don’t think about where there junk ends up and that’s a major problem. When you hire those junk haulers, ask them where your trash will be headed. You might be happy to hear they’ll be dropping it off at the closest Charlotte recycle center. Your refrigerator might not end up at the same place as your plastic bottles but that’s not something you have to worry about when you hire the right team of junk haulers – Junk King Charlotte.

As long as you are going to have a full crew show up to take away your fridge you can also get them to remove any other bulk piece of junk you want gone. If they can carry out a refrigerator they can certainly carry out an old sofa, television, stove or even row boat! Be smart about how you get rid of junk, go with Junk King Charlotte.

Charlotte Basement Junk Removal

Unlike the Midwest or Northeast regions of the country, Charlotte is not really considered “basement” territory. Part of the reason is all that wonderful red clay that is so much a part of our state’s heritage. That same clay is extremely dense and retains water like a sponge. Those are two conditions which don’t make for decent basement building. A lot of new homes will have what they call a “walk out” basement which are often built on plots of land that have a slope to them and can support this kind of construction. In older homes, you’ll find more cellars than basements. Even though both of these spaces are under the house, a cellar is used more for storage than as a family room. There are also rooms built on top of garages which are referred to as “Charlotte basements.” If you’re fortunate enough to have a home with a basement, be it a cellar or above a garage, then you still might find the need to clear out the junk.

A basement attracts junk like a magnet to metal. It’s only natural that if you’re done using something and you can’t throw it out because it is too big that it will end up in the basement. This home storage area is also the destination for the kind of junk you think you might need but years later has you wondering why you’re keeping it. Into this category are things like baby furniture, ping pong tables and other pieces of worn out furniture. If you have stored them down into basement, they might have been overrun with dampness or worse: mold. The moment that happens those items instantly become junk and need to be taken out of the home. You can handle that job with the help of professional junk haulers like Junk King Charlotte.

When you hire professionals like Junk King you won’t have to worry about making dozens of trips up and down those basement stairs to get rid of this junk. The pros will do all the climbing up and down. And it’s not just about stairs; it’s also about what’s being hauled up the stairs. Those bulky pieces of junk will require at least two men to bring them up out of the basement. That’s not something you need to bother with when you can hire professionals for the job.

These same professionals will have a big enough truck to take away anything you ask of them. Take note that it doesn’t just have to be junk in your basement. You can turn your basement clean out into a total home clean out. When the Junk King Charlotte team shows up at their scheduled appointment just walk them through your home and show them what you want removed. They’ll take it from there. As soon as you can get your basement clear of clutter you might be able to find more practical uses for it. In other words, if you need more room in your house you could find it down below but first you’ve got a clear out the junk!

Recycling News in Charlotte

For this year’s Earth Day celebrations the University of North Carolina at Charlotte has reason to be very proud of themselves. Last year the campus broke their own record by recycling over 2,000,000 pounds of garbage. If you know a college aged student then you can appreciate how much garbage they can generate! UNC also was able to divert 39% of the campus trash away from landfills. This year the UNC Charlotte’s Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling Projects say that they are on target to break their own record once again and plan to hold a huge party on Earth Day.

At this year’s Earth Day celebration many campus organizations will be involved in the festivities. Among them will be the work of UNC Charlotte’s Sustainability Office, Charlotte Green Initiative, Venture, Earth Club, Geography Club and Recreational Services. The engineering students are also getting into the spirit of recycling with their unveiling of two original interactive recycling bins. One of the bins which is meant for indoor use will start a football themed game whenever someone drops a can into the bin. The second been is powered by a small solar panel and launches a game inspired by the Price is Right. Both of these bins will be up and active starting this summer.

As if these accomplishments weren’t enough the Carolina Recycling Association also named UNC Charlotte’s recycling department as “the best among many colleges and universities in the Carolinas.”

The efforts of the students and faculty at UNC have a positive ripple effect throughout the entire community. Many local businesses are also getting into the recycling spirit by making sure their customers have the opportunity to properly dispose of any garbage that is generated at their stores. Keep in mind that the recycling effort isn’t restricted to the UNC campus and surrounding business community. You can get in on the act too, especially if you decide to hire Junk King Charlotte.

Junk King is a company made up of professional junk haulers who specialize in removing your clutter and making sure it is properly disposed of. Just like the campus programs, Junk King strives to divert the vast majority of what they collect away from landfills. While it might seem like a hassle for you to give up hours of your free time driving to recycling centers around Charlotte the Junk King crews make these drop-offs part of their daily routine.

When Junk King becomes involved in your recycling it’s usually to handle those bigger items that can’t fit in the weekly garbage pickup. Yes your sofa, old television, broken refrigerator and mattress can all be recycled. If you want to follow the lead set forth from the UNC students then keep up with your weekly recycling and make sure Junk King becomes your partner for junk removal.

Charlotte Attic Junk Removal

There is a unique program coming to Charlotte as part of Holocaust Remembrance gatherings. There are 18 violins that had been repaired by a special shop in Tel Aviv. These violins are no ordinary musical instruments but instead were once owned by Jewish musicians who played them in the death camps and ghettos of World War II. For the last several years Amnon Weinstein has been on a quest to find these special instruments and has scoured the attics and basements around the world. Now these fully restored violins will be part of a musical celebration honoring their previous owners. All of this points out that there may be some very special treasures in your own attic that should be brought down from the dust and cobwebs.

If you are lucky then you’re living in a Charlotte house that has been part of your family for generations. When that is the case there is no telling what kind of treasures might be up in that attic. The typical attic becomes a family’s go to storage zone. This is where all the unwanted furniture, clothing, heirlooms and other stuff get stored. Usually there are a couple of suitcases or trunks that might be holding precious keepsakes. There might be some photos of long forgotten family members that could be put into new antique frames for display. Because Charlotte played a vital role in Civil War history there is also a pretty good chance there might be some memorabilia from this era that could fetch a decent price at auction.

Obviously, you’ve got to go on your own attic scavenger hunt to find these items and that’s a perfect way spend a Saturday afternoon! While there might be a few pieces that are worthy of display it could also be that there is just a lot of junk up in that attic that needs to be tossed out. If you make that kind of discovery then you should have a professional team of junk haulers like Junk King Charlotte standing by to take away all of that garbage. The great thing about having professional junk haulers work with you is that they’ll make the climb up and down the attic steps. All you have to do is supervise.

Once your attic is clear of treasures and junk you might discover that it’s a perfectly viable space that can have many purposes. It might not take a lot of work to convert an attic into a spare bedroom or home office. It could even become your kids’ playroom. You’ll be amazed at what a little dry wall and fresh paint can do!

Keep in mind, that as long as you’re cleaning out your attic and having Junk King Charlotte take away all that garbage you also put them to work in other areas of your home. This could be the perfect excuse to finally clear out the clutter from your closets, basements and garages. Who knows? You might find treasure there as well!

Charlotte Spring Junk Removal

The wacky weather that has hit the country this year has brought spring into the Charlotte area a lot sooner than anyone anticipated. The result is that pollen is everywhere. It’s covering Lake Norman, dusting cars and the ground. By some estimates this is the worst season for pollen in over ten years.

All of this can be traced back to the warm weather that has swept through the Charlotte area. On the average it has been five degrees higher than normal. This has tricked plants and trees into blooming earlier and in a short amount of time. Normally, this blooming is spread out over a couple of weeks which allows the pollen to spread out a bit more. Now it has exploded in two days which has left many residents heading indoors. What are the numbers? Last year the oak pollen count was just 1,200 grams per cubic meter. This year the count was as high as 8,829 grams per cubic meter. That’s a lot of pollen.

With all of those particles flying about, it might motivate you to begin your spring cleaning project earlier. A proactive approach to take is to line up an appointment with Junk King Charlotte to help with your mission. Junk King is a local business who specializes in all kinds of Charlotte junk removal. So what does junk removal have to do with your spring cleaning? Everything! In order to really get clean, you’ve got to first get rid of the clutter. What’s great about hiring Junk King is that they’ll be all the “muscle” you’ll need to get the job done. If you go through your home and identify those big items you want removed, then all you need to do is tell the Junk King crew what to take away. They’ll handle the rest.

Junk King Charlotte isn’t afraid of getting dirty to get the job done. They’re also not afraid of stairs. That means having them make the trips up and down the basement or attic will be a lot better than having you do that heavy lifting. Hiring Junk King can provide the right motivation to really go deep with your spring cleaning project. If you know you have an empty truck at your disposal there is no telling what you’ll finally be able to get rid of. Everything can go such as unused furniture, bedroom sets, cribs, ping-pong tables, pianos and whatever else can’t fit into the garbage can. While they are at it, the Junk King Charlotte can also do a complete sweep of your front and backyard to remove all of the debris that might be piled up there.

That’s going to make any spring cleaning smooth sailing!

Charlotte Garage Junk Clean Out

Recently the Charlotte Fire Department responded to an early-morning fire that began in a garage and spread quickly to the rest of the home. This occurred on Lockley Drive in Eastover. Fortunately, the couple who lived in the house was alerted to the fire by smoke alarms. It was suspected that lightning might have been the cause of starting his fire as rolling thunderstorms crept through the neighborhood just before the fire started up. In order for lightning to start a fire there needs to be some “kindling” to strike. While there is no mention in this particular case that this garage was overflowing with junk, it stands to reason that it certainly wasn’t sparse. This is a primary reason for clearing out junk in your own garage or home: removing a potential fire hazard.

The average garage often becomes a veritable dumping ground for all the things we don’t want in our houses. A lot of these items are things we want in storage like old golf clubs, a kayak, a ping-pong table, Christmas decorations or tools. The garage is also the place for any kind of hazardous material like solvents, cleaning products, paint thinner or motor oil. So imagine, if you will, all of those things gather together in a tiny “box.” It’s a wonder more fires don’t start that way!

There are better ways to use your garage; not the least of which is to park your car there. Many folks appreciate the fact that a home has a garage and this becomes a great selling feature for real estate brokers. Ironically, that garage is quickly filled up with junk that the car never stands a chance of being parked in there. For all practical purposes, a garage is simply another room in your home. You could adapt your garage into a viable workspace or guest room. Like the rest of your home it is still structurally sound; it just has a really big door! That door can actually be removed and replaced with a wall with very little effort. The concrete floor can be covered in tile or wood laminate. Add in some insulation and you’ve created a very cozy space. With very little effort you this new room could become a home office or a spare room for visiting family members. But the first thing you need to do is get rid of all that junk!

That task is actually easily accomplished when you call upon the services of a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Charlotte. If you are not discriminating with sorting through your junk you could literally throw open the doors of your garage and have these professional junk haulers back the truck up. Then the simple command of “get rid of it all!” Before you know it your garage is cleared out. If you need to sort through your junk then just drag the items you want taken away out to the driveway and let the pros handle the rest! You’ll be reducing the risk of fire and reclaiming of valuable space in your home.

Tree Branch Disposal in Charlotte

Here’s some good news for those Charlotte residents who consider themselves to be a bit of a “green thumb”: the Southern Spring Home and Garden Show is heading to Charlotte. This is an exciting expo which will have over 400 exhibits covering topics such as home improvement, green living and garden showcases. This annual event provides all kinds of wonderful inspiration for Charlotte homeowners as they get ready to welcome spring. You can’t help but pick up a lot of helpful gardening tips by spending the day at this expo. To get you ready here are a few tips you could share with some of your fellow gardeners:

Recycle your old leather gloves into gardening gloves. They’re snug flexibility makes handling tools a lot more comfortable than the average stiff gardening gloves. You can also put an old beach town to use as a comforting mat for your knees. It all comes down to a matter of not wasting anything.

As you set out for the garden show make sure you bring your digital camera. You’re sure to find many new and vibrant varieties of plants, shrubs and even tree saplings that could inspire you to take a fresh approach to your own landscaping. What’s great about this show is that it is a specifically geared towards Charlotte gardening. New residents in the city might be surprised at the abundance of clay in the soil. This is just the way it is in Charlotte and you have to make certain adjustments towards how to make your garden grow.

Approaching your gardening could first begin with a general clearing of all the refuse left over from the winter. Depending upon where you live you might have been subjected to some harsh winter weather conditions which left the trees in your back yard in a sorry state. In some severe cases tree limbs have broken off and come crashing to the ground in many Charlotte neighborhoods. When that is happened it’s time to bust out the chainsaw. However, that’s not always practical or safe. It might make stronger sense to hire professionals to remove those fallen limbs and other yard debris. We are not talking about landscapers but junk haulers.

If you are serious about gardening then you’ve already embraced the concept of getting dirty. But that doesn’t mean that you want to attract dirt into your home or car. If you decide to haul off those fallen tree branches or dead shrubs then that’s just what you’re going to be doing. That’s why a pro junk removal team like Junk King Charlotte is the best call (1-888-888-JUNK). They certainly don’t mind getting dirty. They also have the right amount of muscle power to lift those heavy branches without the need for chopping them up. While the junk haulers are loading up those tree branches you might also consider having them take away anything else in your backyard that has seen better days. Maybe it’s time to get rid of that old patio furniture or birdfeeder. Whatever you need to toss out why not get rid of it all in one trip. That way you can start your spring garden with a clean canvas.

Charlotte Cardboard Disposal and Recycling

If you live in a city like Seattle, Philadelphia or San Diego you know that going green is actually a law. That’s because all of those cities require mandatory recycling be conducted by all of its citizens. Anyone who forgoes the recycling rules you could be fined or not have their garbage picked up at all. While this might sound a bit extreme most folks in those cities have embraced the recycling programs because it takes very little effort to manage. The city has provided all residents with recycle bins that have to be filled up with the proper items and put on the curb along with the regular trash. The result is that tons of garbage is diverted away from those cities’ landfills and put to much better use.

While you might not like to be told what to do with your garbage the idea of a mandatory recycling program could be headed to Charlotte. It’s all part of a 10 year solid waste program being put forth by the county government. There are already voluntary recycle programs throughout Charlotte which many residents are participating in. However, if you’re looking to take care of a serious pile up of cardboard and other recyclable materials then you might have to bring in outside help in the form of professional junk haulers.

The slogan of these eco-friendly programs is “recycle, repurpose and reuse.” The recycling part comes down to a matter of separating your garbage. While that might seem bizarre to some people it’s actually a very routine habit to get into. Essentially all you need to do is separate anything made of paper or metal versus food scraps. All of those paper products such as magazines, newspapers, junk mail, cereal boxes and other cardboard items are perfect materials for recycling. If the mandatory program passes in Charlotte you’ll be given a big blue bin that you could fill up weekly. Even just one week of recycling will show you just how much of this kind of garbage you would normally throw out. If all that cardboard and paper can avoid going to one of the many landfills around Charlotte then it’s going to be a benefit for everyone.

The purpose of a landfill is to gather trash and let it sit there until it breaks down to its basic chemical components. By allowing garbage to do that it really is going to waste. Paper products that make their way into a recycling facility are shredded into pulp and then repackaged into regular paper. Today many companies use recycled materials in their packaging which lowers their costs and protects the environment. You can tell which companies are participating in these types of programs by reading the labels on the boxes.

If you decide to hire a pro junk hauling team like Junk King Charlotte to help you take away all of your bulky cardboard items then those same people can also remove other big items like furniture, lumber scraps or backyard waste. Once your home is clear of the big items you’ll be ready to tackle your own recycling project and be ahead of the curve with the law takes effect.
