Signs That it’s Time to Call A Houston Junk Removal Specialist

When it comes to obsessive hoarding it can become a serious health hazard. The crew of TLC’s “Hoarding: Buried Alive” show paid a visit to a Houston resident to document their out of control hoarding. What they uncovered in all the mounds of junk was the deadly rodent-borne Hantavirus. The result is that this home was placed on immediate quarantine and the occupant and crew were all treated for the virus.

Beyond this single instance there have been 35 cases of Hantavirus reported across Texas this year alone. In the case of the hoarding episode, the neighbors had actually organized a group of 30 people to get involved with the cleanup effort. They were helping out one of their own in need but had no idea it had gotten this out of hand. The home can be salvaged but everything has got to go including the furniture, carpets and drapes.

This certainly puts your own junk piles in perspective, doesn’t it? Hopefully, you haven’t reached the critical mass stage of a full-blown hoarder but that doesn’t mean you don’t have a tendency to hold onto useless objects. We all do. It’s human nature. It’s when those objects begin overrunning out homes that it becomes time to call a junk removal specialist like Junk King Houston.

Junk King has been helping folks in Houston for quite some time now. When you’re ready to let go of junk, they’ll be ready to roll up with their truck with a hard working crew to help you get the job done.

Take a gander around your home. What can you get rid of? Maybe you’ve got some appliances shoved out to the back porch because that was as far as you could take them. Maybe you’ve been hold onto a ratty old sofa because it’s too big for your pickup to haul away. Maybe there is some rusty patio furniture that has seen better days that you can’t toss out with the garbage. Sensing a pattern here? All those oversized items are what the Junk King can help you get rid of.

While they’re at it, they can also properly dispose of all your e-waste. Things like computers, TVs, monitors, keyboards, copiers… none of that can be tossed out either. It all has to go to the right recycling center to get broken down. You won’t have to worry about where to take your stuff. Junk King has your back. They know all the recycling facilities in Houston. So whether you’ve got just a few items or a mountain of debris, Junk King Houston is your best bet for getting rid of it all at once.

How to Get Rid of Old Furniture In Houston

So you’ve finally decided to get rid of that old sofa or bedroom set. Good for you. Have you picked out its replacement yet? Been to a lot of furniture stores? Found the perfect fit for your Houston home? Good work. Now you’ve got to find a way to get rid of that old furniture. You have a few options. The question becomes do you want to take the long way or get it done in a snap?
The long way means you could advertise that you’ve got a sofa to give away on a site like Craigslist. This will involve you taking a picture of the sofa, uploading it onto your computer and then writing up your ad. That involves some effort but it’s not going to bring your day to a screeching halt. However, there is one factor to consider here: you have no clue who is going to answer that ad. Essentially you’ll be communicating through email but at some point you’ll be giving a complete internet stranger your address. Is that really a smart idea?
The next option could be to simply set the sofa out on the curb with a sign saying, “I’m Free. Take Me.” That’s nice of you but it’s against the law in Houston. You are basically abandoning that furniture which could lead to a fine. If you’re lucky someone will happen along and snatch up that sofa but what if it sits there in the blazing sun? Every hour that ticks by is another hour that sofa is going to get into worse shape. All it would take is a day or two before nobody is going to want anything to do with that sofa.
If you have a yard sale, you can drag the sofa out to your driveway in the hopes of selling it but again you’re depending on the kindness of strangers. If it doesn’t sell you’ve got to drag it right back inside.
There is a better way! That would be hiring a crew of professional junk haulers like Junk King Houston to arrive at the scheduled hour to take away that sofa. It’s quick, fast and nobody gets hurt! While you’re at it, you might also consider all the other clutter you have taking up space in your home that you could get rid of in the same truckload. Yes, this means it’s time to finally clean out those closets. But that’s a good thing. Isn’t that a project you’ve had on your “to-do list” for some time now? Knowing you’ve got the deadline of having professional movers showing up with a big truck can definitely spur you into action.
If you need more motivation to clear out all that clutter along with your old furniture just think about all the space you’ll be reclaiming. You can finally get that closet back or open up space in a basement or garage. This is your home; shouldn’t you be making the most of it by keeping it free of junk?

Houston Hot Tub Buying and Disposal Guide

If you’re living in a Houston home with a hot tub that means either you had it installed or you inherited the tub from the previous owner. If that hot tub was once in working order and you had a chance to dip into the warm waters then you know how soothing and relaxing that can be. Perhaps it’s time to swap out that old hot tub for new, improved model. As you go shopping for a hot tub you’re going to run across variations of a spa, hot tub, Jacuzzi or a whirlpool.
What would be the best choice for you?
A spa is referred to a contain water tub that has several heated power jets that blast muscle relaxing streams of water. The typical spa is made out of either fiberglass or acrylic with the acrylic version offering up a longer life. Traditionally hot tubs are made of wood with a kind of liner inside to hold the water. You can still have the same kind of powerful jet action in a hot tub that you would get in a spa but without the contoured seating. As for the whirlpool this has less to do with the specific brand as it does with the specific action. Although you might refer to this as a Jacuzzi, that is actually the brand name of a company that makes whirlpool baths. You can get that same whirlpool action in any hot tub.
You also have a choice of placement for your new hot tub. Just like a swimming pool this can either be above ground or built into the ground. With built-in pools many homeowners opt to have a hot tub built right on as an extension of the pool. Obviously this would mean the hot tub is less about wood and more about concrete. There are some folks that even have a hot tub set up indoors. If you’re considering this option it makes more sense to have this in a basement or ground floor. Either way should always check with the constructional engineer first before installing.
A hot tub is made hot either through electric powered heaters or gas heaters. They also come equipped with underwater lights and seating arrangements several folks. The bigger the hot tub the bigger the hot tub party!
Before you lock down that new hot tub you’re going to have to get rid of the old version. This can be easily accomplished by hiring a junk hauling company like Junk King Houston that specializes in hot tub disposal. There are many moving parts in a hot especially a freestanding one. The junk hauling team will have to dismantle the outer frame, take apart the motor, and break down the tub itself. This is definitely not a one-man operation. It’s also going to require a rather large truck to cart off all the disassembled pieces. You could accomplish this on your own but it will mean loading up your own car or truck with the scraps of the hot tub and take it to the nearest landfill. Do you even know where landfill is around Houston? It’s best to leave it to the pros.

Houston Furniture Disposal

If you’re thinking about redecorating a couple of rooms in your Houston area home you might be looking for inspiration. You could go through the numerous décor magazines available at your newsstand, but that might not be the best option. Most of the Houston homes featured in those magazines are on the high end of things and by high end we mean expensive. Actually, one of the best sources of getting inspiration for decorating your home is to actually go take a peek into other people’s homes. Sure, you could knock on someone’s door and ask, “Can I see your furniture?” But a more effective way would simply to do a search of a local Houston realtor’s website and do your snooping online.
When folks put their homes up for sale, they will typically snap a bunch of pictures and upload them to their real estate broker’s website. This allows them to put their home in the most favorable light possible. It also gives the rest of us a chance to peak into the living rooms and bedrooms of strangers just to see how they decorated things. You might be quite surprised at the range of tastes on display all across Houston. You’re sure to find the typical collection of western inspired furniture complete with cowhide rugs and longhorn ornaments. But you’ll also find a wide array of modern furniture which features a lot of glass and chrome. Then there is that category that can best be described as “grandma chic.” These are the collections of sofas, tables and chairs which are trapped somewhere between “vintage antique” and “just plain ugly.” So, what’s in your home?
Going through a furniture showroom can also help you consider all the possibilities of what new furnishings could look like in your home. With so many options to pick from in one place, it might become a tad overwhelming. This is why you should be snapping pictures on your cell phone. Take these digital photos back to your home and hold them up in the room to really visualize what these pieces might look like in your home.
Naturally, you’re also going to have to make plans for getting rid of your old furniture. Remember what it took to bring all that furniture into your home in the first place? You probably had movers or at the very least some strong friends. Its one thing to pull a sofa out of the way to mop up behind it, but it’s quite another to lift that couch and carry it out. This is why you should consider hiring a team of professional Houston furniture haulers like Junk King. These guys will show up at the appointed hour and be able to cart off whatever you’re getting rid of in one session. You won’t need to be loading up the truck and making multiple trips to the dump just to clear out your living room. If you plan it right, then the old furniture can be gone in the morning and the new stuff comes in by lunchtime. That’s a perfect plan!
