They were quick to reply and quick to come out to get the job done. Reached out yesterday, they came today and hauled away our old 24 foot swimming pool. I had it all disassembled for them. They came on time and I think it took him and his dad like 15 minutes to get it on their truck and they were gone. Fair pricing that made me happy. I'd use them again in the future and just may, some I'm cleaning out house to sell.Posted on Kira HydeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
