Red's Hauling Service is rated 5.0 out of 5 stars, based on 144 reviews!
I was overwhelmed with old furniture and junk in my garage that has accumulated over the years. It was a mess to say the least. I did not even know where to start.
I contacted Red's Hauling Service initially to remove some of the larger pieces: tv stand, refrigerator, mattress, etc.
They were fast. I was able to set up an appointment within a week's timeframe.
Red arrived with his crew. He personally managed the project. He was professional, smart, knowledgeable, and kind.
He definitely saw the garage was a disaster and I didn't know what to do. He talked me through it and helped me make decisions.
In addition to removing everything needed they even organized it, and swept it out. Life changing. Now it is clean and there is room to walk in it.
I highly recommend this service. It is also a family owned and operated business. Red's son was the team lead and worked very hard to get everything the way I wanted it. They definitely exceeded my expectations.
Great business and people!
Although, I suspect you could probably find a slightly lower price, who's got the time for that. Red's got the job b/c they were super fast and available same day after providing a phone estimate; they arrived within 75 minutes of our phone call with no fuss or muss.
Definitely recommend for junk removal .I got a quote and they arrived here in short notice and took care of it .
After reading all of the 5 star reviews, we hired Red's to clean out my Mom's house. After 40 years in house, it was a big job that we thought would take two days. Red and his crew knocked it out in one day.
Red is great about answering and returning calls. Extremely happy we hired Red's.
The previous positive reviews are accurate. I was looking for a way to get rid of my old grill. I emailed a picture with my location and asked for an estimate at 6pm. I received a response by the time I woke up, (the cost was 50% less than another estimate I received), told them I wanted to proceed and gave them my address and contact info. Within two hours I received a text with a picture of the grill in their truck and a request to call with payment info. It was so easy and they were very professional and responsive. I would highly recommend them and would use their services again!
Because of the good Yelp reviews, I had Red's come out to get rid of a bunch of furniture. Red's son came out with a helper. They were very respectful, made sure to not scratch anything, and got lots of stuff out of my place. They did a great job. The price was very reasonable. The only possible con to it was they came a half an hour earlier than they said they would. You know, I was going to call 1-800 got junk. But I really wanted to use a local business and I'm so happy I did. I'd use them again in a heartbeat!
All the 5 star reviews are no joke. Crazy easy to work with. Two minute phone call, they're here two hours later, done in two minutes for the exact quoted price which by the way was 50% lower than the other quotes I got.
So happy with Red's!
Price was right, service was quick and courteous, and it all happened the same day, which was such a help (since my new couch arrived earlier than I expected--leaving me with 2 couches in the living room). I've never used a furniture removal service before, and this was so easy and convenient! I am on the third floor of a walk-up, so this was extra help. (These guys were working on their day off, too.)
I very much recommend this service and will use them again.
I've hired Red's twice over the last several years to remove damaged furniture.
Lawrence, the team supervisor and leader, is awesome and he knows his stuff. Lawrence is efficient, a great leader to his team, and kind and pleasant to his customers. Lawrence helped a stressful situation not overpower me with his chill demeanor and attitude.
I will hire Red's again in the future for some less demanding work.
Red's is a prompt, reliable, efficient, easy-going, small company of people who are able to complete hard jobs. They clean up the environment afterward too. They swept and took out trash and made everything look great.
Hire Red's for all of your crazy hauling needs. You'll be very happy with the outcome.
The two gentlemen were on time and did a great job of removing everything quickly. The price was very fair and Red gave me a price before hand.
I highly recommend this company. Quick to reply. Fast and professional service. Punctual. Good pricing. They hauled a great deal of stuff out of my storage locker and were in and out in under and hour.
Red's is the best! I called them on a Saturday to remove a couch and they were available to take my call. They showed up 15 minutes later and removed the couch within minutes at a fair price. I highly recommend them.
Just received this text from my daughter!
Thank you for the referral he was amazing they already came and took all of my stuff for $200 only 50 more than the other company quoted for just one thing.
Red's is awesome! I needed to have a queen size box spring and heavy mattress removed. I called today around 2pm and they were at my place within 30 minutes. The price was good too! A lot better than other places I looked into. I'm so happy I found them because I live on the 2nd floor and it's hard to carry heavy things downstairs. Then trying to get it outside in this weather sucks. The two guys that came were also very nice. I'll definitely use Red's again if I need heavy stuff taken away.
Great people. If you have a garage, basement, house - whatever - that needs cleaning out. Don't overwhelm yourself, just let them do it. Highly recommend.
I highly recommend Red's Hauling Service.
I called them this morning to remove an exercise machine and within 2 hours, they were at my front door.
They were professional and curtious. They disassembled the machine, removed it from the basement and put it in their truck and cleaned up in less than an hour.
They were fairly priced and lovely.
I would recommend them to everyone!
I needed to remove my full size mattress & box spring from my apartment. It was short notice and I called another service and was quoted a more expensive price & was told he wouldn't be able to remove it until the next day.
I found this removal service and called. He was friendly, took the time to ask where I was, what the object was, and quoted me a cheaper price.
His employee showed up, and I helped him get the mattress & box spring out. All within the same day.
Great service, if you need anything removed!
Thanks Yelpers for leading me to Red's! This is about as good as it gets. Seriously. I emailed and received a quick reply on a quote when I sent a picture. I had construction debris that the various contractors never took with them and left me holding the bag(s). Literally.
Red called me and said I will be there in the morning - his team of locusts showed up and poof! it all disappeared. The cost was on par with others that quoted the job. They were thoughtful on how they handled the space and swept up the gang way as they went out the door.
HIGHLY recommend them and will use again!
We needed to have an old refrigerator taken out and the people that were supposed to do it didn't. This was a rainy Saturday afternoon at 3 pm. I called Red's, someone picked up immediately and agreed to get it out within an hour. They were early. Fast, convenient service. I would recommend without hesitation.
I called Red to quote the trash removal of a chain link fence I had replaced. He immediately knew a scrap metal guy that would haul it away for free (recommended I tip the guy).
The scrap guy was over 20 minutes later! Thanks for saving me a few bucks Red!
I called Red's to take away my old couch because of the other positive Yelp Reviews, so I wanted to add my own. They arrived early (after calling to let me know) and were polite, efficient & professional. The whole experience was quick and painless. I will definitely recommend & use their services again.
Excellent service! I needed various abandoned items removed from a building I manage. I initially planned on calling 1-800-GOT-JUNK, but after reading a few reviews realized they weren't the company for me. I'm so happy I researced further on Yelp and found Red's. From initial phone call to completion of the job, they were timely, professional, and friendly. Red's scheduled a next-day viewing/quote, then after we agreed on the price, they performed the services right then and there. The gentleman even swept the area after removing the junk. A+! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
We are going through a stressful time cleaning out and selling our home of 43 years! Some recommended Reds Hauling to clean out the attic and basement and also remove some extra large pieces of furniture. We'd like to kiss that person! These guys were amazing from start to finish! We couldn't recommend this company more highly! They were truly professional, courteous and wonderful to work with!
Excellent customer service!
Had multiple boxes after moving to a new place - after a brief call two guys came in 30min to haul everything away, hassle free. Highly recommend
Red and his crew were referred to me by Sam Pearson of Chestnut Cleaning. I hate moving; I'm disorganized; and have way too much "stuff". Between Red and Sam they made a potentially very difficult clean-out of my late daughter's apartment efficient and effective. Everything that could go wrong did: it was a full moon (well, it didn't help!); I lost the keys to my daughter's apartment for the first time in five months; was late showing up; had to get the janitor to let us in. In the meantime, her apartment building had "secretly" scheduled major facade work to begin on the day of the move. Parking nightmares; huge trucks everywhere; mortar and bricks falling from the sky; but Red and his crew were patient, sympathetic, and took good care of the job and of me. (It was a hot day: Red offered me chilled water for hydration and bananas for potassium, which he carried in his truck for his crew.) Very able; very personable; and these guys give the impression that they have met every conceivable problem in the course of their work, and have solved them all. I felt I was in good hands for the entire six hours they worked. It's a pleasure to add to their consistent "5 star" record. Well done!!!
I'm happy to recommend Red's Hauling. They came and gave us an estimate in 30 minutes. The crew returned the next morning to empty our basement and garage attic. Crew of two were very hard workers. Filled nearly two box trucks in 2 hours. Swept up afterwards. Very clean job.
I chose Red's after reading reviews on Yelp. I'm glad I did. Red gave me an hour window for when they would show up. He called me prior to their arrival. They came within the time-frame. Most importantly, they gave me a fair price and did a great job. I paid with my credit card and received a copy of the bill by email.
Highly recommend. I called Red's on a referral from another vendor to remove an old hottub in my yard. I had received multiple estimates and was frustrated with the high fees. Red gave me the best deal in town. Easy communication and reliable. Within one week the job was booked and finished. Very happy with the experience.
Stackable washer dryer removed from my 3rd floor walk up. 3 guys took care of it in 15 minutes. They were careful and nice! Reliable service: They were there when they said they would. And the price was right- 50% less than the other guys! I highly recommend them!!!
This service is amazing. Alex and Primo are terrific. Everything happened as promised. They arrived on time. Cleaned up debris. I've lived in my home for 40 years and my front crawl space was full of wood and building material. It was a huge undertaking. These guys never complained just worked hard to get the job done. These guys are my new best friends.
These folks quite literally saved my sanity. After the movers left everything in our garage and basement for me to somehow magically deal with, I called them in a panic. Four people showed up within 30 minutes! They couldn't have been more helpful and without them I doubt that our closing would have taken place. I am forever grateful and pleased.
I was in an incredible time pinch and called the number listed on the Yelp page. Red answered himself and, despite it being outside business hours, said he could be to my place in an hour to haul away what I needed. Definitely got the sense that this would be a tight squeeze into his already established schedule- great team and Red is a super friendly guy. This is my team for haul away projects moving forward.
These guys really came to the rescue after another hauler did not show up. We had a substantial amount of junk after clearing our basement following a flood. They came on very short notice, and cleaned it all out while my family was at dinner. And they were very reasonably priced (The same price quote the first hauler provided, and they actually showed up!). Very pleasant to deal with, as well.
When I had my new couch delivered, I was super frustrated that I had no way of getting rid of my old, monstrous sleeper sofa that was destined for the dump. After calling around a few junk removal places and getting fairly steep quotes (including an extra "fee" for a mattress?), I found Red's. Not only were they located close to my apartment, but the owner was super nice and gave me a flat quote over the phone that was 50-100 less than others. His guys showed up that same day, hauled the beast away, and were really pleasant to boot. I would highly recommended them!!!
Red's Hauling Services is the best! Very reasonable rates and accommodating to my schedule. The guys that came were polite and worked efficiently.They moved out a sofa,mattress,box spring and other miscellaneous stuff in no time! They paid extra attention to the doorways and walls so as to not damage anything when they moved the bulky things out. I plan to call them again when we clean out our garage.Highly recommend Red's services.From the time Red answered the phone until the last piece of furniture was moved out they did a stellar job.
My bachelor brother, an over the top hoarder, passed away rather suddenly, leaving a third floor walk up Co-op unit in which he had sequestered himself for four decades. I flew in from my home on the Coast and a local lawyer suggested Red's Hauling. Red answered my call and my prayers, quickly appeared, surveyed the unholy mess and gave me a solid estimate for emptying the apartment. A Chicago based friend turned over the unit's keys to Red on Saturday morning and by Wednesday afternoon the deed was done. Because I was so far away, Red supplied me with daily cell phone pictures and updates and adjusted his team's efforts in response to my feedback. Red and his team also found family photos and keys, setting them aside for me. I was very fortunate indeed to have Red's Hauling Services tackle this cleanup of my brother's "Augeas' stables".
Red is awesome! Reliable and hardworking!! Available quickly when we needed his service. Highly recommend!!!

We were moving out of our house and the closing was in 2 hours. We were in a bind as we had furniture that we thought we could give away or sell but could not. We called Red's and they came to the house in less than an hour and removed it all plus other garbage for a very reasonable rate. I highly recommend Red's.
They were able to get my large futon out of my 3rd story apartment in under an hour from the time I called. I would definitely recommend their services for last minute furniture removal.
We had a very last minute furniture removal job and found Red's Hauling services. They were very accommodating with our schedule, considering they were operating outside of their normal hours on Saturday night!
We had one twin mattress, two bed frames, and three dressers moved within a manner of 15 minutes (we live on the first floor).
The two man crew were very kind and respectful- I opened the door for them and one of them shook my hand to introduce himself. I've worked with a number of moving companies and not one of them have ever offered to shake my hand and say hello, ask how my day was.
Red (owner) was also on site as well. He was very easy to talk to and time passed by so quickly. Also, he made sure to tell the crew to take it easy and make sure they were safe in carrying/lifting items. That's a great manager- reminding staff to take care of themselves in hauling stuff.
Please support local businesses- Red's Hauling was a pleasure to work with!
Best removal and clean up service
Amazing service fast good great workers and always do a great job
Reds Hauling removed debris from my yard. They did it quickly & left everything neat & tidy! Thanks Red!
Excellent service!!! Also had a great opportunity to work for red...nicest boss I have ever had. So fair and very nice man.
when a job has to get done call REDS HAULINGS,ACCURATE CLEAN AND NEVER UNDERESTIMATE GREAT COMPANY
Best junk hauling service in town. Highly recommended. Good prices and they take anything. Great for quick clean out of any space. Good for hoarders, squatters, fly dumping, getting rid of your spouse or ex's junk, etc. My favorite non food related local business.
Happy that you like our service we will continue to work hard and get the jobs done . Thanks for all the great reviews over the years red.
I would highly recommend this business. Their service was professional and efficient. They picked up our furniture within the hour and sent us a photo to confirm they picked up the correct items. The service was a little higher than the city pick up price, but I would gladly use them again for their promptness and customer service.
My late parents were, at the very least, "pack-rats" or, I guess, what some call "hoarders" these days. At the recommendation from Diane Hudec Estate Sales, we used Red's. initially, to remove a lot of unsellable garbage and then get rid of all the remaining junk (and believe me, there was still a lot) left after the estate sale and what was taken as a donation to the Salvation Army. They did an excellent job and charged what I thought was a fair and reasonable price. "Red" worked with me personally as to what I wanted done and even offered suggestions. His "team" took care of more than I thought was possible. Also, left the house clean and even went the extra mile power washing some stains off a sidewalk leading to the back door.
Hence, I highly recommend Red's and don't think you will go wrong with them both in service and price.
This is a haul away service with class.The men that came were prompt, courteous and were reasonably priced. I will use this service any time I need junk removed. EXCELLENT!!!! Dee and Primo were OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!
These guys are awesome! I recently had the responsibility of getting a house in Logan Square cleaned out that had belonged to my family for 125 years, and I swear nothing ever left it in that time! The crew they sent was hardworking, fast, respectful of my property, and just dug in and got the job done even though some of the stuff in the basement was pretty gross. They have a great system where much of the junk and appliances gets taken to the appropriate place for reuse or recycling, it doesn't all just go to a landfill. They got tacos for lunch and shared with me, and were just the nicest, most diligent group of workers I ever had the privelege of hiring/working with. I will use them again later this year I think when I'll have a smaller job of stuff to haul away.
After having Salvation Army come out to tell me that they wouldn't be able to accept my sofa, I wanted to find a same day solution to get it out of my apartment. I found Red's on Yelp and noticed the great reviews. I called and spoke to Red who gave me a quote that was FAR less than all of the other junk services I called. They came the same day within 20 minutes! They employees they sent out to my apartment were very kind. It was such a simple and quick process! I would most definitely recommend Red's!
I did a search for haulers and this was the only one that caught my eye for high ratings. I had a contractor who failed to clean up his own mess and a 10 foot pile of wood and construction trash that needed to be hauled out.
I called at 10 am and the owner was very pleasant. I have a vision of trash haulers as the gruff types. He actually took a call during ours and I was a bit annoyed, but he called promptly back and arranged to send his crew to the address for a quote that afternoon.
Sure enough, the crew scoped out the trash and gave me a quote. I thought the price was ok, but remembering that prior calls to 1-800-JUNK and those level of companies was exorbitant, I really thought the price was reasonable, especially given how responsive they were.
I gave the ok and the job was done. How many places offer same day service???
I am waiting on pictures (I don't live at the place where the trash was hauled) and will change my rating if I don't feel the job was done well, but my hunch is they did a great job.
My parents' house was sold and had to be completely cleaned out. We had originally called a big-name junk service but we were unhappy with their service that morning (they only sent one truck and would take several hours to return for a second run).
I had researched Red's, and we were desperate to get the house cleaned out that day, so I took a chance and gave Red a call. He came over in 30 minutes, and was able to get the job done at a reasonable price.
My only regret is that we didn't hire Red's in the first place (my SIL was in charge of this...).
Really professional and accommodating. Reasonable quote and nice guys. Reliable, honest, easy to deal with. We called around to 6 different services and Red was responsive and efficient.
My "friend" junk hauler who was supposed to show up at the last minute to remove the final detritus from the house as we moved out failed to show up. Called Red's at noon & Red sent his son & helper who were there an hour later. They were great! Quoted a fair price and in 1.5 hours had the place broom clean despite having demolished with a sledge the things that wouldn't otherwise fit in their truck. They even swept up the little debris on the driveway at the back of the truck. Two hard working guys who meant business. Hopefully that was my last move but I wouldn't hesitate to refer them to friends & family.
What can I say but "AWESOME!!" Called at 9:30am, done my 11am. Pleasant, courteous, FAST. Wouldn't hesitate to call again.
Red and his team are excellent! They arrive on time and get the work done fast. I highly recommend this service.
These guys are GREAT! I called them Friday morning to remove my old washer & dryer, they came a couple hours later like promised. They were quick, friendly and very fair affordable.
I will use these guys again in the near future and definitely would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and affordable junk removal/hauling service.
Thanks again Red!
Great guy, competitive pricing.
Great for Junk Removal and Hauling in Chicago. Affordable and quick service
Red is a really cool guy. Came quickly and gave me a fair price.
Red is great for Junk Removal in Chicago. Really good pricing and nice guy. Would use again.
We needed an entire house cleaned out, and called Red and got the best price in town. Red and his crew were prompt, courteous, and swept the entire house when done. Highly recommended!!! Thanks Red!
Needed some stuff moved on very short notice. Called Red's and they came in two hours. Good communication, excellent service, reasonable pricing - couldn't ask for more than that.
Fabulous company. On time, professional, efficient.
This Man and his employees deserve your business!
I was initially impressed by his video, I just had a feeling he WAS the right guy for the job. He came to give an estimate in Wilmette and I was surprised he brought 2 trucks, he was ready to GO. His initial estimate was right in line with what I had hoped for and much less than the competition, I agreed to go ahead RIGHT THEN and let him do the job. He also did extra work for no extra charge! His Employees were friendly and VERY professional. They even cleaned up, which I had not expected. When it was over the bill was EXACTLY what he said it would be. Look at my reviews, I'm straight forward and even handed. Take my word, Red is a great Guy to deal with!
These guys are fantastic. I wish I could find more businesses like this in Chicago. I called Red about 2 hours ago to have my countertops and removed. Much to my surprise, they said they could be here in an hour. They were here in about 45 minutes. In under 2 hours from my call, they disconnected the plumbing and removed all the counters and sink. Workers were friendly and clean. Truly a 5 star operation.
Quick. Efficient. Polite. Fair price. Couldn't be more helpful. Had 3 rooms of flood-damaged wood flooring that we had pulled up and piled (sloppily) in the basement. Only way in and out was a path with some twists and turns to get to the stairs and a narrow path to the alley. Nothing got bumped or scratched. In two hours the place was cleaned up. Couldn't be happier. Thanks Red's!

Great service, fast and reliable. Called for a quote, which was very reasonable, scheduled the pick up and two very nice, strong men came to the house on the same day and took care of business. Would highly recommend!!
I needed items removed in a hurry. I live in a building where you must reserve the elevator. I called Red's and was able to get him to come and remove items from my house. He made the appointment and was in and out of my place in record time. If you need hauling I would recommend Red's without reservation. On time and inexpensive because the other companies I contacted wanted much more for the same items.
Need good and efficient service I say call Red's!
Seriously amazing. I had a smallish/medium load of stuff, but it was still a lot, in my opinion. They showed up exactly on time. 2 of the gentlemen came in and removed everything within 15 minutes. Not one nick on any wall, and my house is a wreck right now due to me getting ready to move. My only regret is that they left so quickly that I forgot to tip them. :( I feel bad now.
I had called several places for a quote, and Red gave me the best rate and was extremely nice to work with. Pick these guys over any other place. I'll use them again if I need junk removal.
We had to clean out a relative's apartment last weekend. The apartment was full of junk, newspapers, old phone books, clothes. The relative was a hoarder. Red and his crew were stunning. I have never been so impressed with the professionalism, timeliness, efficiency and hard work. I will have pictures to post later. I can't speak highly enough of the experience and Red. Amazing!
I couldn't have had a better experience with Red's yesterday! I'm demo'ing my basement and had accumulated a large pile of construction debris I called Red's and they had a truck and two guys over within 30 minutes. After seeing the pile, they quoted me a fair price and had it removed (and the area swept!) in no time. The owner, Red, is a really good guy and his workers - including his son - take after him. Very professional and courteous. I'll definitely be calling them again when I need a junk pile to disappear.
Red's Hauling Service
Description: Red's Hauling Service does junk hauling, trash removal, junk removal and home clean outs.
I called Red's to haul away some old furniture. The came the same day and on time and hauled it out of my garage in 10 minutes for a decent price. All of the other junk haulers I contacted were triple the price! I would definitely use this service again.
Quick, efficient and friendly. Called and was able to get an appointment the next day. Within the scheduled timeframe two men arrived and hauled away an entire studio apartment within one hour. Price was reasonable, would recommend and use again.
I called Red one afternoon with a job that was estimated to cost 500 dollars by a competitor. He was already in his truck and told me he could be there in 30 minutes. It was perfect. They showed up, assessed the junk pile, and told me it would only cost 400. I said great and they started hauling. My roommate paid for the service over the phone. Red is convenient, friendly, and has competitive prices. It's good to know that they recycle, too.
The guys showed up on time and did a great job in a short amount of time. The price was reasonable as well. I'll definitely call Red's again if I need anything hauled away.
Red came out today and cleaned out my apartment and wow hes fast reds gets the job done thanks red sweept clean thank you
Fabulous Service! I just moved and had no way to dispose of the boxes I had broken down. They came within an hour of me calling and took the stack away for a very fair price. I will be using them again if I have anything needing hauled. Excellent service.
Fast, efficient, charged as quoted and were ready to take a card if necessary. Super easy, and fast! I called them at 2:13 pm on the Sunday after Christmas, and they were here and hauling my monster tube TV away before 2:45.
I have to hand it to these guys, they were great! I called Red with a less than 24hr notice with hopes to getting them to come out on a Sunday. I was in luck! This family owned business was available to haul away tons of junk and garbage from a small apartment & with no hesitation, did it under 1.5 hrs. Very professional & fast. Worth every penny, ($600) which was less than most junk removal services would charge with a short notice on top of that! Most are closed on Sundays! Plus, they sweep up the place after they're done. Thanks again guys! I highly recommend them for any hauling needs! Keep up the great work!
They came on time, were polite, didn't mess around, finished quickly, and charged me exactly what I was quoted over the phone. What else can you ask for? Highly recommended.
As all of the other reviews say, Red's runs an incredibly quick and efficient operation. I called on a Friday, and the next morning two taciturn men came to my apartment during the appointed time range, picked up our broken furniture, and walked out the door with it in exchange for a fistful of cash. It is the easiest imaginable way to get rid of clutter.
They didn't call before showing up (which they were supposed to do) and it was a little more expensive than I would have liked, but as between reliable and cheap -- I will pick reliable.
Red's Hauling service is a cleanup/clean out service, too, which may including painting and small repairs to make a place livable or presentable. Red has since moved to 2235 W. Belmont, same telephonenumber. more Red's Hauling service is a cleanup/clean out service, too, which may including painting and small repairs to make a place livable or presentable. Red has since moved to 2235 W. Belmont, same telephone number. He serves a wide range of suburban locations, too, listed on his web site. Since he is a complete service, once he gets to your location ask him whatever you want, and he can tell you if he can do it. Red did a large project for a disabled friend of mine and personalized the project to the customer. Red has a lot of empathy and even professional authority with his clients. This is an excellent service. In this project I felt that Red was sent by angels.
While clearing out our parents' house of 48 years, we came upon a lot more clutter then we thought we had! Red and his crew were at the house within 30 minutes, negotiated an extremely fair price, and began the arduous task ahead of them with smiles on their faces! Red called for a couple more trucks and crew members and the job was done quickly! I highly recommend Red as he was kind, compassionate to our situation, and had a good sense of humor! We needed that! His crew also swept up all the rooms and even cleared the backyard of clutter! Do not hesitate to call Red for all your junk removal needs!
These guys are great, my garage was full of junk when I first bought my house. They blew 1800 junk's price away. They were quick and swept the garage when they were done. Highly recommended !!!
Great experience. These guys are fast, diligent, and careful. They are great at what they do and very courteous. The only thing that keeps me from giving a 5 star review is the price. Three guys, 45 minutes, $500. If I had shopped around more, I'm sure I could have found a better deal. They said, they did a fantastic job and I was very happy with the experience.
I was looking to have a queen mattress hauled away, and fairly quickly. Called about 11:30 and was mattress free by noon. Red said he was just a little bit away, and came right over! Faster than I could have imagined. Quick, efficient, and helpful.
I'll definitely call these folks again when we need hauling services.
Called on Red to have a old couch removed. His crew arrived on time and removed the piece in minutes! Great service and polite employees. I would use again without hesitation.
I had some old furniture that I was hoping to donate to Brown Elephant. Alas, when the crew arrived they refused to take the sofa due to its poor condition (not their fault, and they couldn't have been nicer about it). As I've already moved 20 miles away and don't always have a car at my disposal, coming back to my old place time and time again is a big hassle and I really needed to offload this sofa quickly (like, today). Red's to the rescue! I called them and they had a truck over here in about 20 minutes flat. I paid through the nose but hey, time is money too, and they got in & out in less than 15 minutes. Very satisfied customer!
holy cow! They came fast! i only spoke to RED on the phone but his guys came about 1 hour later. Assessed the roof of my shed, cut it into 2 pieces, hauled it off. I called RED and he took credit card over phone. fast, quick, friendly, and they cleaned up good! Thanks RED!
I called Red's based on all the great Yelp reviews and, as expected, am glad I did! When life hands you a 32-inch tube TV that weighs as much as a person that you can't get rid of when moving out of state, you have your movers take it to the alley. And when your landlord tells you 5 days later that no one took it (probably because they couldn't lift it), you call Red's. I called this morning, explained the situation, and had a call back from Red himself within an hour of my call telling me the TV had been picked up. Fast, efficient, affordable, and great customer service. Definitely will be recommending!
Came quickly. Worked efficiently. Left the area looking good. This is how local businesses are supposed to be.
What a great service company! Someone had dumped a ton of old furniture in the alley next to our dumpster. The garbage company that we use would have charged us so much more to pick it up and wouldn't be able to make it out till the end of the week. Red's came out the day I called and did it for such a great price! Very friendly and easy to work with.
This company is great! Showed up on time, worked carefully and efficiently, totally cleaned up afterwards, and everyone was really nice. I recommend Red and his team without any hesitation!
Red's answered my call arranged to come at a convenient time for me. Two guys showed up right on rime and removed about 6 pieces including a big old metal desk which they took apart quickly so it wouldn't damage anything on the way our. They were efficient and polite and very helpful. They are the best!
I wanted to get rid of my 27" Sony Trinitron console TV after it died of old age (15 years!). I did some research on internet on how to do it and decided to drop it off at a Best Buy store. Unfortunately I experienced a bad back problem and gave up the idea. I tried internet again and this time I found about Red's and saw the wonderful reviews. I called them on a holiday,described the job and the fact that our apartment was on a high floor with elevator service. Red(?) immediately gave a quote on the phone ($50) which was what I had estimated as a reasonable fee.
I was told that they would be at the apartment in 30 minutes. I received the call I had asked them to place when they were 5 minutes away so I could be on the alley to meet them, after 20 minutes. They completed the job under 5 minutes. The service was excellent.
It is so nice to find a dependable service company nowadays and I appreciate Yelp helping us to find them! I would recommend this company to anyone without hesitation.
Super easy to work with, flexible, and quick to get the job done.
I had a fair amount of furniture left over from college days and decided now was the time to get rid of it. It was a quick call to Red's Hauling which deserves every five star review they get.
The crew was courteous, on time and very professional.
Fantastic service! Came on short notice to clean out an apartment. They took away everything I asked them to quickly and swept up afterwards for a very reasonable price. And Red's a very nice guy to boot. Can't recommend them highly enough!
Red's Hauling Services saved me when I was in a serious bind. I am having a new couch delivered and had finally gotten all the necessary timing and logistics taken care of (frieght elevators reserved, removal scheduled, delivery scheduled, all within a tight 4 hour time frame). Well, it was perfectly scheduled until my removal guy cancelled on me. I'm very type A when it comes to this sort of thing so naturally I started freaking out about potentially having two couches in my already small studio apartment. I called a few moving/junk removal companies and so far no one could help me out on such short notice, until I called Red's. I didn't even have to finish explaining my situation, Red just asked for my address and said they would be there within the hour. Sure enough, his guys showed up about 20 minutes later and removed my sleeper sofa! I'm back on track and waiting for my new couch to arrive as we speak. What a life saver! Red wasn't the cheapest quote I received, but definitely the most reliable, and for someone who freaks out having their apartment in shambles, the money was worth it to me to just have my job taken care of right away.
We love Red! We will definitely be using his services again. We needed to clean out a lot of "stuff" to get the house ready to sell. You tell him everything you want out of your house, he gives you a quote, and if you're ok with the price they get working right away. Very reasonal pricing and professional. Cleans up after moving everything out. In addition to doing great work, he's just a very nice guy. Would recommend Red's services to all our friends.

Red gave an estimate that was below what the job turned out to be. When he came in the truck to give an estimate, he had a crew ready to roll and three hours later, the huge cleanout job was finished. These guys have strong backs!
They are the best. They come on time, are very flexible as to pickup times. Clean up everything. Not a bad price.
I called Red based on his positive Yelp reviews and am I glad I did. My "moving needs" were small; pick up a couch in Lincoln Square, deliver it to Edgewater and remove a 300 ton Sony Trinitron (remember those?) and an old sleeper couch from said Edgewater residence. We talked, I explained, he got it and gave me an estimate, which was very reasonable. Red and his 2 workers showed up on time, did what they do with muscled carefulness, and an hour later everything was moved and/or carried away. Red, btw, is a character and our conversation roamed freely between acupuncture to recycling to the cost of hydraulic brakes. Big Red rocks reliability. I highly recommend him.
Red and his crew came promptly, were courteous and fast! His prices are fair and he was super friendly and professional, not to mention insured and they take credit too!
Awesome customer service. I had a huge job to do, dealing with hauling and breaking concrete. Red came to take a look and told me that it was probably cheaper if I get a concrete contractor to do the work. He was honest and helpful, and even though I didn't end up using his company he was still willing to give me advice. It's hard to find honest people in that business. Thanks for your help!
These guys were awesome - called Saturday morning, by Saturday afternoon they had given me an estimate, came over to Wrigleyville as a Cubs game was getting out, and hauled out some old furniture in the middle of all the craziness. They were really professional and friendly.
We had a great experience with Red yesterday. We needed to get rid of a large sectional couch, and wanted to do it in a hurry. Called Red and left a message. He called us back within 15 minutes and said he could show up within the hour. His crew showed up in about 20 minutes and quickly took everything out for us. They were professional and courteous, and about an hour after leaving the message, everything was gone. Highly recommend Red!!
Wow. I was totally panicking because my floors were going to be refinished and I had furniture I couldn't get rid of. I had called a thrift store to come take my furniture but there were several pieces they wouldn't take because they were too damaged, stained, or whatever. What to do what to do... floor refinishers are coming and there is still furniture on the floor!!! Red's to the rescue... they came when I asked them to and were in and out in ten minutes - fast efficient workers, polite, friendly, and a decent price. I'd use them again in a second.
I don't even like using five stars in a review. These guys were truly superior. I called on a late Tuesday afternoon asking for help with a significant sized job. Red says, "how about tomorrow morning?" Wow. I wake up to a foot of snow knowing Red's crew can't drive the trucks and work in those conditions. Wrong. They were there 15 minutes early. I love strong characters. Red's oldest son led the assault, Peter, the man with the anglo name and strong Latino looks was #2, bringing up the rear was Red's youngest son (he has five which includes an adopted son). Son #1, okay, get your asses moving, youngest son ingeniously propping a heavy door, "wait man, if you let me do this, we will save time and trouble. Peter, without saying a word, "you guys figure it out and he hits off his Coca Cola. These guys are quick, clean, respectful to others. I also got an incredibly great deal. I work at a university in Chicago and if I ever have the chance and influence will find all the work these guys can handle. In my case good means good. Superior means better than anyone else. And so they are. Do not blink an eye. Do not hesitate. Don't think twice. I'll pay your bill if you don't like them. Ralph Braseth, Chicago
I had a great experience with Red's Hauling. The guys were speedy and did the work to my satisfaction. I hired Red's to clean out the garage just prior to selling my home, and I don't think the garage was ever that clean! They even helped carry stuff I was bringing with me to my car. I'm very happy I called Red's and would do it again in a heartbeat.
After trying without success to find a moving company willing to transport just a few items from my storage space to my new apartment (at a reasonable rate), my boyfriend suggested that I call Red's Hauling Services. I am so glad I did! Not only were they extremely professional, they went above and beyond the call of duty. I was expecting them to simply transport my items (which consisted of a queen bed and a dresser) to my new space. They helped me unload several other items that I had already loaded into my SUV, they set up the bed and frame and arranged it several different ways before I settled on the perfect spot. They unwrapped and reattached the (very large) mirror to my dresser and disposed of all trash/wrappings. Again, I did not expect this because Red's is a hauling service--not your standard moving company. Here's the icing on the cake -- I was having trouble backing my SUV into the garage (very tight squeeze, but doable with a little practice on my part), and one of the movers parked it for me and gave me a quick lesson on the easiest way to get it done. It's much less intimidating now. He also gave me some excellent advice on how to repair my dresser, which sustained some minor (but noticeable) cosmetic damages just a few weeks after purchase. I think he may have saved me $300! I would definitely check with Red's first, whether its for a small move or transporting a few items, but definitely for any and all hauling services!
Called Red's after calling numerous other places to clean out a couple things out of my garage (Not my stuff, previous owner left behind. I'm not a hoarder I swear!). He gave me a quote and said he could be there tomorrow. I asked if he could come today and he said he would call me back. He called me back within 10 minutes and said that he would have someone there in 1-2 hours.
They gave me a call an hour later to make sure I was home. They loaded all the items in the truck in about 10 minutes and they were on their way. Amazing experience and well worth the very fair quote they gave me. Will definitely use again and highly recommended.
Red flat out kicks butt. After a couple weeks of moving into our new home, we had a garage full of both moving junk and junk the previous owners left behind. I had no prior experience with junk removal, so I called 1800-got-junk as it was the only place I knew. What a mistake. They were "trying" to get my on the schedule for the following week. Sorry, but when you need junk removal you want it done yesterday.
Enter Red. I call him, leave a message. He calls back 5 minutes later and is in my alley 30 minutes later. We agree on price, and 30 minutes later my garage is empty. Boom. done.
Thanks Red. I'll call you whenever I need you.
I just moved to Chicago and I had around 50 good sized boxes along with all of the packing paper that I needed removed. I called Red's and he was at my place in 10 minutes. The job was done in 30 minutes. What a relief and well beyond my expectations in terms of the responsiveness to the work I needed done. I'm so glad I called! It's been a really difficult relocation for me rife with mistakes and logistical problems beyond my control, but at least one thing was easy!
Absolutely the best. What a delight to work with Red. I spoke with him initially to get a quote and arrange for a pick up. No voice mail - a real person. The price was fantastic and quite a bit lower than other quotes I got. The guys came as scheduled and were very friendly. Took them no time to remove my very old console television. I would call them any time I have other stuff to have hauled away. Trustworthy and honest.
Big double thumbs up to Red's
Very professional, very reasonable, and they do what they say they will do.
I wanted to write this as feedback to anyone looking to haul away any old furniture. These folks are very dependable, and the price is very reasonable.
I needed to have an old couch hauled away, and they were at by home within 3 hours from when I called. They gave me a fair price over the phone and there were no hidden charges. What they quote you is what you pay. Period.
For sure, I will be using Red's again.
Thank you!!
Red is the real deal - reasonable prices and great service. Our junk was gone less than 4 hours after we called him. His crew even dug out an old basketball pole. We were very pleased and tipped his crew accordingly.
Wow, I am impressed. I called Red's to help move some items out of my mother's house. Turns out I have hoarder blood in my veins!! My dad kept everything!!! Anyway, Red's arrived and moved everything into their truck. They even swept my garage clean! Will be calling this service again next month for Phase 2.
I have used Craig's List several times to find contractors to haul away construction debris from a home remodeling project I am working on. I have had issues every time. I searched Yelp and found Red's. I called them and they immediately came out to give me an estimate which was very fair. They brought a large crew and plowed through the rubble and cleaned out a 20x20 garage full to the brim with debris. I asked them to take a few extra very heavy pieces of concrete scrap and they did so for a nominal charge.
Very nice guys, professional, fair. I would hire them again in a minute!
I was very pleased with Red's Hauling Services! Red was courteous and came when he said he would. His crew were very careful not to scratch the floor, walls or doors while removing my heavy sofabed. I called in the morning, and he was able to come that same afternoon. Great service!
This is as good as it gets!
I called Red's Hauling Services based on these Yelp Reviews Friday March 15th, 2013.
I called the owner & read him a list of items to be picked up & he quoted me a very reasonable price.
The owner & his crew meant business when they arrived at my house Saturday, March 16th, 2013. Without wasting a second the crew rapidly & efficiently picked up my items & were done in about 20 minutes.
This is to all potential customers; if you want no-nonsense, no baloney, let's get to it yesterday mentality Red's Hauling is the place to call.
I am so impressed that I will call them again to finish the clean up process.
Keep up the great work Red's Hauling!!
Regards,

We are moving our mother from Chicago to Michigan. The house has been in the family for over 50 years and my uncle, who came down with dementia, had lived there since it was built. He was a hoarder. A serious hoarder. We called Red on a Wednesday and he came out on Thursday to give us a free estimate. He was courteous, compassionate, and entirely reasonable in his price. That Thursday he moved my grandmother's couches, which were dry rotted because they had been covered in plastic for decades. He told us that he would return on Saturday to do the serious hauling.
Red, James, Primo, Peter, and Lawrence arrived at 9am and were done by noon. They went above and beyond anything that we had expected. They were fast, efficient, and cleaned up after themselves. They checked constantly to make sure that they were taking only what was requested. The thing to understand about these types of situations is that people like Red must function somewhere between hard-headed practicality and grief counselor. He does that seamlessly.
We would recommend them and use them again.
We used Red to clean my packrat Grandfathers house out after he passed. He made it a smooth and easy process. They did a wonderful job! He is more than reasonable with his costs. I would recommend him to anyone!!
I have used Red's Hauling twice. The second time they demolished my basement after water damage. The price was very reasonable. Work was fantastic and quick. They left the basement incredibly clean and re-hung all the conduit and boiler pies. Very happy with all aspects of their work. Very friendly and knowledgeable. No need to use anyone else.

I tried to donate a sofa to charity and after waiting a week for them to come for pick up they decided my down cushion sofa wasn't nice enough to take. I called Red's and spoke with Red he came within 3 hours to pick up sofa at a fraction of the expense of 1-800 junk! Red accompanied his people on the removal, was gracious and considerate of property throughout the removal process. I would not go anywhere else in the future for similar service.
Great service. Needed a sofa couch and loveseat to be hauled away. Called Red's the day before and were right on time the following day as promised. Will definately recommend and use again.
Awesome. On time, reasonable rates, friendly staff and owner. I love Red's and can't wait to find something else for them to haul away!!
It was a huge, dirty junk-filled basement and Red's team did a fabulous job of turning chaos into order. What a relief. Also, very polite and made some good suggestions. Would definitely recommend!
Needed to finish clearing out the last of the stuff in my parent's basement to prepare the house for sale. We called Red's Hauling because of the great reviews on Yelp and other sites. He and his staff did an excellent job - fast to respond, fast to remove the junk, not too expensive, pleasant person, and even swept up the basement, and the basement steps afterwords! Wow - it looks a whole lot better! I highly recommend this service. Plus, he is a neighborhood guy - went to Amundsen.
We were getting ready to move in 3 days and while we had all the moving logistics worked out the one remaining item was an old large couch that had been sitting on the back porch of our 2nd floor walk-up for months.
I was looking around for some way to dispose of it, It was too heavy for my girlfriend and I to carry downstairs and haul out to the alley and hope someone would come and take a very beat up couch . I stumbled on Red's and based off the reviews from the Google search I gave him a call.
Red is a very nice guy who told me he was close by and could come get it in 45 minutes. The price he quoted me was very reasonable and being able to have it taken away that day was a huge bonus. The whole process from initial call to pickup took less than 1 hour.
Red is a very nice Chicago guy, courteous and professional. I am extremely happy with the service and next time I have anything to haul away, small or big job, they will be the first one I call.
Red's hauling was very reasonably priced and the team was very friendly. The owner was quick to return my phone call (within the hour), and gave me the best deal around. I live alone and had to move across the country for my job. I had to clear out my apartment here, and basically pack up my car and go.
Red's hauling was able to get all my junk - old sofas (love seat and couch), old wooden (heavy) bedroom set, tube tv, random boxes - without scratching the hardwood floors or knicking paint or anything. Made me and my landlord very happy.
All in all, 5 star service from start to finish.
Red's is fantastic. Reasonable quote, quick and friendly service, and the guys came early on pickup day.
I've started to replace all of my 'just out of college' furniture with 'respectable yuppie' furniture. I bought a new couch/love seat, which is going to be delivered 2 weeks earlier than expected. Uh-oh, haven't had the old stuff removed yet!
Well, I called Red's on Tuesday for a Thursday pickup, and they were easily able to accommodate me. I had an entire queen bedroom set, a couch, loveseat and treadmill hauled out of here in under 30 minutes.
Red was great to chat with, and was able to offer me a couple of leads on Kitchen contractors for my next big project. Highly recommended
I read the reviews on Yelp and decided to use Red's Hauling. I called them on Tuesday morning to set up an appointment for Saturday, but things changed and I called them back to ask if they could come that day at 4:30 pm. They were there on time and the young men they employ were very courteous and professional and had my old sleeper sofa and love seat out of my apartment within 5 minutes, and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Red's Hauling.
These guys are amazing, and totally saved me! I had them come out once to get rid of a bunch of crap, as I was getting ready to put my house on the market. Lo and behold, the place sold quickly, so I called them in a slight panic a week before closing after realizing i had too much junk to get rid of myself. They came by 2 days later, hauled everything out quickly, cleaned out the freezer, AND did an amazing job of taking everything out of the garage and sweeping it up - I hardly recognize it! It almost makes me want to stay, ha ha. Red and his crew are great, totally reliable - no need to look anywhere else.
I has first called the 1-800-JUNK place but they couldn't take my same or next-day request. So I found these guys and I had a great experience.
They picked up my couch the same day, came when they said they would, and were very polite. Two teens boys moved my old couch and I got the impression it was their family sitting in the truck. They had just come from soccer or something, so they accommodated my same day request even on their day off! (I felt a little bad when I figured that one out!).
Very reasonable price - $100 for removing my couch from a 3rd floor walkup. I never know what to tip for these things, but I gave them $20.
The only reason why I didn't give them 5 stars is because they got a couple marks on the walls on their way down. It's a large couch and they were trying to be careful, no biggie. When I hire them again I'll just ask them to be more aware of knocking the walls. Go local and support this great team!
Yelp for the win! After reading several reviews of local hauling business and 1-800-GOT-JUNK I opted to go with Red's. They did an amazing job of clearing out all furniture and miscellaneous junk that lived in my garage and basement and a reasonable and honest price. For you junk hauling needs, go with Red's. I will never think to go elsewhere ever again.
Red's Hauling service is a cleanup/clean out service, too, which may including painting and small repairs to make a place livable or presentable. Red has since moved to 2235 W. Belmont, same telephone number. He serves a wide range of suburban locations, too, listed on his web site. Since he is a complete service, once he gets to your location ask him whatever you want, and he can tell you if he can do it. Red did a large project for a disabled friend of mine and personalized the project to the customer. Red has a lot of empathy and even professional authority with his clients. This is an excellent service. In this project I felt that Red was sent by angels.
