We clear barns, basements, garages and whole properties across Upper Bucks County — including the concrete, the heating-oil tank and the piano most haulers turn down over the phone.

Ten years, a thousand-plus jobs, and one promise that hasn't changed: a firm price agreed at your property before we load — and nothing added after that.

Based in Quakertown — and Honest About What That Means

Our address is 127 S 5th St, inside the borough, a few blocks off the Broad and Main crossroads. That matters for a practical reason: almost nobody else quoting your job is anywhere near it.

Here's the honest half of that story. We're based in Quakertown and on the road across Upper Bucks daily — but we're not claiming there's a truck idling on your street waiting for the phone to ring. Crews run the PA-309 corridor, and what you get is a real arrival window and a phone call before that window closes if we're running behind.

That's a promise we can keep every time, which is the only kind worth printing.

Why We Take What Other Haulers Won't

Read the fine print on any franchise site and you'll find the same exclusions: no concrete, no brick, no dirt, no soil. It's a reasonable business decision — landfills charge by weight and heavy material eats margin. It also leaves Upper Bucks badly served, because this is a county of bank barns and oil-heated stone farmhouses.

Concrete, brick, dirt and excavated soil

Broken patios, chimney brick, and the spoil from a patio or pool dig — including digging it out. Heavy material adds a published $100–150 per load, because the landfill weighs us in.

Pianos — uprights and grands

Down cellar stairs, off front steps, and around the turn in a Broad Street row home. Stairs are part of the quote, not a reason to decline the job over the phone.

Heating-oil tanks, boilers, radiators and scrap metal

Standard inventory in an Upper Bucks farmhouse in a way it isn't in newer suburbs. One limit stated up front: transfer stations refuse liquid oil, so a tank has to be drained first.

Slabs, hot tubs, sheds and the awkward stuff

8-foot granite and marble slabs, hot tubs, playsets, above-ground pools, safes and gym equipment — the items a two-person crew and a pickup truck can't take.

Light demolition, with the debris on the same truck

Sheds, decks and interior tear-outs. Non-structural work only: nothing load-bearing, nothing with live utilities still connected, and nothing in a pre-1980 building that might contain asbestos until it's been tested.

That last limit is deliberate, and we'd rather say it here than in your driveway.

How We Price, and Why It Works That Way

Loads are priced by the truck space you actually fill. The part that matters more than any of these numbers is the sequence.

Full load$695
Extra-large load~$899
Heavy material — concrete, brick, dirt+$100–150
Travel, within 15 miles of Quakertown$0

List prices, with no discount baked in. Ask about senior pricing when you call. See the full price list

  1. You get an estimate up front

    A range from five photos, or a free on-site estimate with no obligation to book anything.

  2. The crew confirms the volume at your property

    They see the actual pile, the stairs and the way out, and give you one firm number.

  3. You approve that number before anything is loaded

    Nothing is added after that. Pay on completion by card link, Venmo or CashApp.

A surcharge you read before booking is a price. The same surcharge discovered on the day is a hidden fee — and that distinction is most of what separates a five-star job from a one-star one.

What Happens on Every Job

  • An arrival window, and a call before it closes

    Not a promised minute. If the crew is running late, you hear it from us first.

  • A walkthrough before we load

    You point at what goes and what stays, and again at the finish before the truck pulls away.

  • Floor and doorway protection, then a broom-clean finish

    On every interior job — cellar stairs, hallways and door frames included.

  • Photos of the finished space

    Taken before we leave — which is also what an out-of-state owner gets the same day.

  • Payment on completion, and free cancellation to 24 hours

    A card holds your slot at booking and isn't charged until the work is done.

Who You'll Be Dealing With

The business is owner-run

[OWNER NAME] has been quoting and running these jobs since 2015, and the ten years and thousand-plus jobs on this page are his record, not a franchise's.

The crews are the people you'll actually meet — dark work shirts, gloves, and the lifting done for you. We don't publish crew bios, because rosters change and a page full of names ages badly.

The phone is answered 24 hours a day — but not always by a person

During crew hours you'll get someone from our office. Late nights, Sundays and holidays, the line routes to an automated assistant that identifies itself, takes your details and books your free on-site estimate for the next working day.

Nobody likes discovering that halfway through a conversation, so we'd rather say it here.

  • Crews: Mon–Sat, 6:00 AM – 6:00 PM
  • Phones: 24/7
  • Night & Sunday work by arrangement

The Town, and the Buildings It Left Behind

Quakertown · a crossroads since 1777

The Liberty Bell spent the night of September 18, 1777 behind Evan Foulke's house at Broad and Main while it was being moved to Allentown, and the Quaker potter Richard Moore ran an Underground Railroad station at 401 S. Main Street that aided roughly 600 people to freedom.

That history is also a building inventory — and it's why we quote this town differently than a crew driving up from Montgomery County would.

Bank barns & outbuildings

Richland, Milford, Haycock and Springfield Townships — hay lofts with ladder-only access, corn cribs, spring houses and equipment sheds, holding decades of scrap and machinery.

18th & 19th-century stone farmhouses

Narrow winding cellar stairs, low doorways, attic crawl spaces, and no straight run for a dolly anywhere in the building.

Borough row homes

The Quakertown Historic District — tight staircases, rear alley access, and on-street parking to work around on a weekday morning.

Tohickon Heights & newer developments

Off West End Boulevard — full basements, attics and two-car garages. The most straightforward work we do, and the volume behind the schedule.

Four different jobs. Quoting the second one like the fourth is how a crew loses money on a Tuesday, and it's the kind of thing you only learn by doing it here.

What We Won't Take

Four categories stay off the truck, and it's better to know now than when the crew is standing in your driveway.

  • Liquid oil of any kind — motor oil, cooking oil, and the oil still sitting in a tank. Transfer stations refuse it, so a tank has to be drained before it goes on our truck.
  • Asbestos, and any material in a pre-1980 building that might contain it, until it has been tested.
  • Paint, solvents, chemicals, pesticides, propane and flammables — these belong at a Bucks County household hazardous waste collection event.
  • Medical and biohazard waste.

Nearly everything else is fair game, including two things your regular trash service can't legally touch. Pennsylvania has barred haulers from accepting televisions, computers and monitors since 2013, and Freon appliances need professional refrigerant handling. Both are handled here.

For property managers, realtors & contractors

You don't have to be at the property.

Lockbox entry, interior and exterior cleared on one visit, doors secured after the crew leaves, photographs of the finished unit sent the same day, and an invoice instead of a card swipe at the door.

  • Multi-unit turnovers scheduled in sequence, two to three trucks running
  • Multi-load jobs quoted as one job, not as several full loads
  • Cleanout, yard overgrowth and contractor debris on the same truck
  • PA Contractor #PA112494 on every estimate and invoice

  • Four things, in about three minutes: registration #PA112494 on the state registry, the heavy-material and travel surcharges published on our pricing page, free cancellation up to 24 hours before your window, and payment collected only on completion by card, Venmo or CashApp.
