This company is a complete scam. DO NOT HIRE THEM — unless you want to get your money stolen. I hired Thomas through thumbtack for a kitchen demo. His guys never showed up. He promised to personally show up the next day and asked for a 50% deposit. He had signed a contract with us so I, being a trusting person, sent him the deposit. He never showed and never returned the deposit. Thumbtack has deleted his account since I reported him. Sad that people take advantage of others so easily.
Tried to contact this man about finishing a job he started for us weeks ago and demanded payment for before it was completed as described. He stopped replying entirely to one of the people who lives here for the last week so I decided to see if he would answer for me. I reached out and said I wanted to hire someone to do a job, and he called me immediately to tell me he could be over to my house today within an hour. What great news!
So I sent him a photo of the partially completed work in our backyard and told him I was so glad he could swing by within an hour because he still had tools he had left in our yard in addition to the rest of the job left to complete. He didn't respond so I pressed him on it and he blew up at me and said he was angry that he had done the job for way less than it was worth. It is not our fault that he quoted us less than he thought the job was worth. He blames everyone but himself for the business he runs.
While working with him, he consistently blamed:
Not having enough workers available
Not having enough "business cash flow"
He asked for a partial payment halfway through the job "to keep the momentum up" and then, when we asked him for a contract amendment in order to put any of this in writing, he sent us a scribbled on screenshot of a contract addendum template. We gave him the partial payment to "keep the momentum going" and then he ghosted us for more than two weeks.
When we finally got back in touch with him he complained that the job was too hard for what he quoted us for. We asked him to fulfill the contract. He told one of us that he was planning on finishing a couple of things. He told a different person in person that the work was done and he needed payment immediately. Obviously we clearly need to learn some things ourselves, but this guy is so shady. At various points he told us he couldn't come out to the job site because he was having "cash flow problems."
Hire this guy if you want someone to make excuses, complete about 80% of a job over the course of many weeks, and alternatively blow up at you and ghost you when you try to get him to act like a professional.
If you do hire him, get it all in writing. He prefers to call you over the phone so you don't have his lies written down. Thankfully, we've got a lot of his broken promises in writing from him. Document document document. Good luck!
We hired Junk Lovers for a full garage demolition and teardown, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. This was not a small job—complete structural removal, heavy debris, and tight logistics—and they handled it with absolute professionalism.
The crew showed up on time, prepared, and highly organized. They took the time to explain the process, prioritized safety, and worked efficiently without cutting corners. The demolition was clean, controlled, and faster than expected. What really stood out was their attention to detail—once the garage was down, the site was left clean, level, and ready for the next phase, which saved us time and money.
Communication was clear throughout, pricing was fair and transparent, and there were no surprises. You can tell this is a company that takes pride in its work and stands behind it.
If you’re looking for a team you can trust with demolition, teardown, or heavy removal, Junk Lovers delivers results with integrity and professionalism. We would absolutely use them again and confidently recommend them to anyone who wants the job done right the first time.
— Highly recommended.
I called Junk Lovers LLC. I needed to remove bag loads , appliances, and carpets. I was impressed with the efficiency of the workers. The workers were professional, courteous and had tremendous work ethics. The jobs were done with very reasonable prices. I highly recommend Junk Lovers.
The best moving company in all Chicago & Wisconsin. I also saw them do interior demolition, shed removal, concrete removal, bathroom demolition, kitchen demolition, & commercial demolition as well!! - this was all while I was training my group & 1 on 1 #chokefitness seminars
Tom & his team were wonderful from start to finish. He came out to give us a free estimate, followed up, and gave us an unbeatable price with great service! We have already recommended him to people we know and would absolutely use him again.
Great service! Always on time. Very flexible and had a good attitude. My family had used the service twice and plan to in the future! The cost is also very reasonable.
