About Us

Our Story

So here we were, a couple of circus strongmen, just going along with life as it came to us. We loved showing off how strong we were to appreciative onlookers! The gasps as we lifted things beyond the ken of mere mortals were extremely satisfying!
Even more satisfying were the doubters in the crowd who would snicker “Yeah, the weights are probably made of Styrofoam.” We’d invite them to try to pick up our props and enjoy watching their eyes bulge out as they tried to lift things we had made seem effortless. (Insert small, self-satisfied smirk here.)
But one day, the circus ended, and our jobs were gone. There were no longer appreciative crowds to gaze upon our feats of strength. The days wore on as we tried to figure out what to do with ourselves. I’d lift a sofa over my head, but there was no one to gasp in awe. My partner would bench press the freezer, but there was no satisfaction in the act without an audience. Then one day Mary, our elderly neighbor, came by and asked if we two Burly Guys would mind moving her refrigerator while she cleaned behind it. Mind? Hah! We couldn’t get there fast enough! I held the fridge aloft as Mary swept, then mopped where the fridge went, then gently set it down. “My, you boys certainly are strong” she cooed, as she offered us tea and cookies. It felt so good to be appreciated again! 
 
Mary, in her wisdom, said to us “Since you lost your circus jobs, I am sure there are lots of people who would pay you to help them do things around their homes. The light bulb went on and Burly Guys Junk Removal was born! We began offering junk removal services for those who could not or did not want to do it for themselves. It felt so good to do things for people again… 
 
Now I’m not really a circus strongman, but I would have loved to have lived that life in a bygone era.  i have always enjoyed being stronger that most around me (and showing it off!), and I decided it was a pretty good way to make a living. So I bought a truck and a trailer, and then another, and then a dump truck. And I pride myself in saying that we will remove ANYTHING from your home or business!
 
And if you’re so inclined, tea and cookies are always welcome!

Burly Guys were excellent for my debris removal. I called on a Saturday evening, received communication all weekend. Debris was removed at 9a Monday morning! Very professional. Thank you 😊

I was moving out after 19 years in the same house (my longest time in a house) and it is amazing how much you accumulate over that time and so much of it that you don't need. The Burly Guys didn't question a thing! I pointed out what I wanted gone and they wasted no time taking care of it. We even walked through the areas after we were done to confirm that they got what I expected. Have Burly Guys help you out. You won't regret it!!

Great job yesterday. We filled that 20 sq yard trailer. They even broke down some furniture to make it easier to carry an save room on the trailer. AND cleaned up the mess. Highly recommend!

As a real estate agent I sometimes need to find contractors to help my sellers empty out homes so they can be sold. John and his crew at Burly Guys Junk Removal did an outstanding job cleaning out a clients home recently with 40+ years of accumulation. They were even able to tear up the old carpeting and remove it. Best of all John is one of those old-school guys who answers his phone when you call him, returns calls and texts almost immediately and wait for it… Wait for it… His guys showed up on time and got the job done ahead of schedule. You can’t ask for much more than that.

John is very very professional, thorough, prompt, and reasonably priced. I not only would personally hire him again but I refer him to all my clients for their needs. BTW I'm a Realtor.
