Say Good-bye To Your Junk

How long do you think the Halloween candy will last around your house? Depending on the “haul” you could be having sweet treats for at least a week. You probably don’t want to keep the Halloween decorations up for week. Unlike the Christmas decorations that can stressed and New Year’s, most folks like to get Halloween decorations down within two days. After that, they just become a creepy eyesore. As you pack up your Halloween decorations for the year, you should take stock of where you’re keeping them stored. If they are well organized in the garage or attic, then you’re ahead of the game. However, if it is a constant struggle to put decorations back because of all the clutter you have in those areas, then it’s time for you to say goodbye to that junk. Junk King Seattle can help you with that goal.

Junk King is one of these companies that is busy from sunup to sundown. As you might expect, there are a lot of homeowners, apartment renters and businesses that need all kinds of clutter removed from their property. This is why the Junk King doesn’t want to take up any more time than necessary. When you’re ready to get rid of your unwanted stuff, then set up your appointment. You could discover that Junk King has the same day pickup available. That means you could literally be a few hours away from say goodbye to all of your junk.

When the crew arrives at your home, you’ll take them on a quick tour of all the areas where you have stuff that you want to get rid of. Maybe it’s everything in the garage. Maybe it’s a bunch of boxes from the guest bedroom. It could also be a bunch of junk that’s been piled up outside behind the garage. Everything is going to be loaded onto the Junk King truck. The last thing the team from Junk King will do will sweep up all the areas where they just clean and ask you, “is that all?” When you’re ready to say goodbye to your junk, you need to say hello to Junk King Seattle.

Make Room In Your Attic With Help From Junk King

Do you have an “oasis” in your home? That would be that quiet little corner where you can just sit and relax. It would be the perfect spot for reading a good book, knitting or even meditating. If you are sharing your home with a big family, then it becomes more of a challenge to find that oasis. One good spot to consider would be up in the attic. Unfortunately, the attic often becomes a storage spot that turns into a spook place. However, it really wouldn’t take a lot of effort to fix up that space. To start, you’ll want to hire Junk King Seattle to bring down all the rubbish and junk. You won’t believe how easy they’re going to make that.

attic-3542250_1280

A lot of the things that are up in an attic are seasonal items that come down once a year. But there could also be some “overflow” of items that made it up there during the last move. If you didn’t have room for some chairs or tables, then the attic is the perfect destination. Of course, that also means you don’t need those things and might never need those things. When you’ve made that determination, it is time to bring in Junk King

Getting up and down those attic stairs won’t be a problem for the Junk King crews. They climb plenty of stairs every single day. They also manage to bring down all kinds of heavy items without causing any damage. It helps when you have years of experience in the moving industry and that is what Junk King brings to every job.

Once Junk King has cleared all the rubbish from your attic, you can set about converting that space into your oasis. Installing insulation and drywall actually isn’t complicated. If you want to add a few skylights, then you’re better off bringing in a professional roofer to do that. Still, this isn’t a complicated project and one that can be completed in very little time. It might even be ready as a guest room for out of town visitors.

Making room in your attic is easy when you’ve got Junk King Seattle lending a hand.

Give The Job Of Old AC Disposal To Junk King

It is nice when you throw a dinner party when the guests pitch in to help clean up. They’re certainly not obligated to “work for their supper” but help like that is always appreciated especially when it takes some of the burden off your shoulders. In fact, handing off a job to someone you trust is always a relief. You know the task can get done and you can refocus your attentions on other areas. This is a perfect description of how Junk King Seattle operates. And getting rid of an old AC is the perfect job to hand off to them.

cooling-system-1146420-m

Over this hot summer, you probably had your AC on “cool blast” for most of the time when you were home. Air conditioners are like any other appliance; the more they’re used the greater the risk of them breaking down. Maybe it was working fine but just wasn’t up to the task of keeping your home or apartment cool. This is the time to replace that unit. You could probably get a good deal on a new AC because the demand is down. You certainly don’t want to wait until the next heat wave to buy one. To make room, the old AC has to go and that’s where Junk King comes into the scenario.

Unlike a TV or computer, you can’t really tuck and old air conditioner in a closet. This is something that needs to be hauled away and it might take two movers to accomplish that. It’s a good thing that Junk King is going to send over those movers. They show up with a lot of experience lifting heavy objects. If flights of stairs are part of the equation, then that won’t be a problem either for Junk King.

Along with that old AC, you might want to make good use of the moving crew and truck by having them load up the rest of your unwanted stuff. Don’t you have things to get rid of? One session with Junk King Seattle can take care of getting rid of your old AC and all the rest of your rubbish. That’s a good session to have!

Helpful Advice For First-Time Homebuyers

Somewhere in Seattle, someone has just closed on their first home. It is an exciting time and something to be very proud of. Will you be joining that club this year? If so, then you’ll want to take your time to do to things right. Here is some helpful advice for first-time homebuyers.

old-style-charm-1177032-m

Set a Comfortable Budget

Your new mortgage payment should be close to what you’re paying in rent in order to make it all work. But you don’t want to get into a situation where those payments are putting a strain on your finances because you also have to pay for property taxes, insurance and any future repairs. This is why it will help to set a budget before you go into the home buying process and factor in what could be your new monthly expenses.

Get Pre-Approved

Getting pre-approved for a mortgage before you go shopping for a home can put you in an advantageous position for making an offer. A seller would be more accepting of a buyer knowing that they are “good to go” rather than waiting to see if you qualify. And getting pre-approved can also provide you with a realistic range to shop in.  Be sure to also look into all the available lending programs from the state and federal government.

Shop for an Agent

An experienced real estate agent is going to be crucial for your purchase and that means finding an agent that is a good fit. Remember, they’re working for you and they’ll be making a nice commission for the effort so you have to feel comfortable with them. That means being able to ask the dozens of questions that will come up.

Don’t Move With Junk

Finally, when the deal is done and you’re ready to make the big move, be sure you’re not bringing any of your old junk with you. You don’t want to start out by instantly filling up the garage and closets with clutter. Junk King Seattle will be a big help with this task. Their two-man moving crew and big truck is all you’ll really need to get rid of anything you’re not packing up. Let Junk King Seattle help keep old rubbish from getting into your new home.  

Enjoy Your Summer With A Junk Free Backyard Deck

A backyard deck is ideal at the beginning of the day and the end of the day. In the morning, it’s an nice place to have that first cup of coffee while reading a newspaper or catching up on Facebook posts. At the end of the day, that deck is perfect for unwinding with a cool drink while dinner cooks on the grill. The only thing that would hamper those two times would be if you had to stare at rubbish on your deck.

deck-1993073_1280

Backyard decks are a lot like an extra room on a house. They also become an open space where you put all those heavy objects you can throw out in the trash. Many decks have an old AC unit tucked in the corner or some patio furniture that has seen better days. In extreme cases, you might put an old washer on the deck. The chances for using a deck as storage increase if that deck is covered. But an awning isn’t going to offer total protection. If something is on the deck because you’ve run out of room in your home, then it is time to bring in Junk King Seattle.

Clearing a backyard deck is what Junk King would classify as an “easy” task. There might be a couple of steps to navigate but everything is out in the open. It won’t be challenge to carry those items off the deck, along the side of the house and down the driveway for loading into the Junk King truck. This entire operation could take less time than it takes to enjoy that first cup of coffee.

As long as you’re bringing Junk King out to clear off your backyard deck, you could also put them to work clearing out a lot of other spaces around your home. Maybe you’ve stashed some lumber or pipes under the deck. That can be pulled out and loaded up. The same can be said for any bulk items from your garage or basement. Junk King isn’t going to be challenged by climbing stairs or working outside. You’re going to enjoy your summer a lot more after Junk King Seattle has cleared your backyard deck from all that rubbish.

Pull Everything Out

This is the part that will be the most time consuming. Everything needs to come out of everywhere. Clear the dining room table and spread out everything in your cabinets and drawers. Once it is all out, you can being sorting through the things you use and the things you’ll never use. Now you know what goes back into the kitchen.

Utilize Open Space

The doors of cabinets are a good place to utilize for storage. Any container store will have a kitchen section with plenty of options for this space. Of course, you could just go simple and put hooks up for things like potholders and utensils.

Group Like Items

Your pots and pans need to be together and they should be close to the stove. Storage items should be together by the fridge. Dishes and glasses go by the sink. Those are the three main zones of your kitchen and what you’re keeping in those zones should reflect how those zones are used.

Nothing Scattered

Everything needs to have a place even if it is the rubber bands in your junk drawer. Flatware holder work for kitchen utensils. Some plastic containers can be arranged in a draw to hold all those loose random items. It’s all about finding a spot for everything. Even you take out menus should be gathered into a folder or binder.

Get Rid of Unwanted Clutter

All the stuff that was left behind on your dining room table needs to be taken out of the house. Don’t box it up and put it in the garage. Instead, call in Junk King Seattle. They’ll send over a team of movers who can not only clear all that unwanted clutter but also make sure it is dropped off at a charity where it can be put back to use. While they’re at it, the Junk King team can also remove all the rest of your unwanted furniture or big appliances. Think of how much storage space you can take back when all that stuff is gone. Junk King Seattle will help you put the finishing touches on your organized kitchen by getting rid of rubbish.

Quality Junk Removal Every Time

The success of a business can be measured by how consistent they are with their services. You go to a restaurant that consistently provides good tasting food. If you start to get bad meals, then you’ll find a new place. That principle applies to dry cleaners, plumbers and any other type of service professional. What about junk removal? You want a service that you can depend on for efficiency and affordability. You’ll find both of those factors in full force with Junk King Seattle.

Junk King’s efficiency starts with when you set up your appointment. You’ll always get a fast response to a phone call query. The majority of junk removal sessions are handled by the next day. Call at the right time and you might be able to benefit from a same-day pickup.

As for affordability, Junk King’s pricing policy is based on how the truck will be packed with all your stuff. One sofa won’t take up a lot of room, so that is on the low end of the price scale. An entire garage full of clutter might take up half the truck and so on. The crews have a lot of experience with this type of work. They’ll be able to size up any pile of rubbish and know exactly how to fit in onto the truck. You’ll know your price before the work begins and it is a price that isn’t going to change.

Included in that fee is all the labor costs. That might only be genuine factor if the team from Junk King has to take extra time dismantling something in order for it to fit on the truck. Typically, they can load up everything in no time at all. Either way, you won’t be charged by the hour.

Finally, you have to take a moment to think about what happens to your junk after it is picked up by Junk King. It won’t automatically be dropped off at landfill.

Pull Everything Out

The only way to organize your closet is to pull everything out. Everything needs to come off the rack, shelves and floor. This is where you’ll be able to make a total assessment. You might also discover a lot of things that you forgot you had plus some items you could do without.

Separate By Season

Depending on the closet, you might have to rotate your clothes. A smart way to sort them is by season. You’ll know when to make the shift as the temperature changes. You could also separate your clothes by their purpose. There could be a section for work, one for casual and one for dress up.

Lose the Wire Hangers

Joan Crawford had this one right! You should get rid of all your wire hangers. They’re not to do your clothing any good. Instead of throwing them out you might want to recycle them or give them back to the dry cleaner.

Put Racks to Use

A tie rack isn’t just for ties. It’s also great place to hang scarves or belts. These racks usually go on the inside of the door. Find the one that fits them best for your needs in terms of size and how many items that can hold.

Bring In the Shoe Racks

The one thing that causes the most clutter in your closet are the shoes. They should have their own rack on the floor and each shoe pair should have their own distinct place. Yes, it’s so much easier to kick off the shoes into the closet but that is not going to help you stay organized. Besides, the same effort it takes to kick off your shoes you could use to put them in the right place.

Go Vacuum Seal

For bulky winter sweaters and coats, consider vacuum sealing. There are some great options for this type of storage that could allow you to pack up a lot of items and slide them under your bed. Once you start the vacuum seal, you might not stop!

Toss Out the Clutter

As you start to put stuffed back into the closet in those organized categories, you might be left with a lot of things to toss out. This is where Junk King Seattle comes into play. These the junk removal professionals that have a lot of experience with this type of clean up. You don’t have to bring any of your stuff downstairs. Instead, leave it right on the spot in the team Junk King Seattle will happily pick it up and loaded onto the truck. If the items are still usable though make sure they get dropped off at a local charity. They can also clear out the rest of your unwanted items throughout the house. You’ll soon discover that Junk King Seattle is going to be a big help with your closet organization project.
