Al Irish. Unfortunately, the luck 'O the Irish was not upon this experience. Called for an estimate on concrete road debris to be removed from my back property that I had dug up. I asked if he does that and he says, yes. He could come out to give me an estimate. I also sent photos of the rocks I need gone. I'm at work. He comes out. Without permission drives across my back property, about 35 feet, leaving deep tire ruts in the grass from his truck instead of walking to visually and physically check the work to be done. Al sends me photos of the rocks he'll remove for $250 (which honestly there's a set to this day I can't figure where on the property they were) and says, quote: "Includes the disposal fee, the dumpster needed, labor and drive time." Excellent! Let's do this. Even though the biggest rock is showing in the picture, I want to make sure and ask about it. I even mentioned over the phone there were three not totally dug out, but almost. The outlines were there to see how wide and big. Response: "However, the ones that are buried, this would be a challenge very large and heavy. I'll have to use a sledgehammer or jack hammer. This would be an additional $200. I'll need help on those two." I respond, "They're probably not as big as you'd think." First Red flag. Because the picture he first sent literally has those in it. But i need them out. I say go-ahead. After a bit he sends me photos of what he's taken. All except the large one and says, "I'll have to come back with help on the two that are buried." I paid him the $250 requested via his CashApp request. Stupid move. For the record as a tip. Don't ever do that. You pay half at the beginning and last half when the job is done. Second Red Flag: When he finally does come back, after delaying because the ground is "soft," the "Help" he brings is a young kid around 12. Come on, Man!! Really? He works around the rocks I paid, and wanted removed, to dig out others. Doesn't remove requested and says there was more than he expected and he can take what he dug up for not the extra $200, but $250 now. Saying, "But Honestly what I took and the labor to get out what we did should be about $500 because iam charged $120 per half ton just to dump." Shows a picture of the one I LITERALLY called him out to get on the first day and says "This one I can't get without using a machine. Maybe my neighbor will let me borrow his." And, referring to the ones he's taken away, "My weight dump was $185." Quite frankly, that's not my problem. First day you came out you seen the rocks I wanted out with a visual. Instead of digging them that day you could have returned with the proper machinery and tools to properly remove or not taken the job. I didn't say that day and frankly thought you'd come back becuase I wanted to sift through pebbles that were taken. Third Red Flag: After a few days with no contact, I call to find out what his follow-up time frame is. The response is "can't borrow my neighbor's skid steer. Best bet would be to just cover it with dirt." So unacceptable. Upon that, I request $70 for the yard damage driving his truck caused on my property and quite frankly should have requested my money back for the work not being completed as agreed on. He declined and responds: "I am confused. Why are you requesting $70? I was hired to remove rock from your yard on an agreed amount. Once completed I then quoted for the additional rock removal. Tho we did not remove the large one, instead we took 6 others that were buried that you did not see buried, in exchange of the bigger one. In fact I quoted $250 more and was paid only $200, technically I am still owed $50." You be the the judge. I paid $250 CashApp, $200 cash and another $50 CashApp to be told I can't get equipment. Maybe just cover it with dirt. Tsk. Tsk. If you they are thinking of asking Al Irish at A & B Junk Removal to come remove concrete, just don't. Luckily, I was able to find an AMAZING company, who brought the proper equipment to the job the FIRST TIME, a Skid Steer plus five yards of top soil to fill the holes and repair the tire groove damage. So may the Luck 'O the Irish be with you. But for concrete debris removal stay from Al Irish at A & B Junk Removal. It's too much of a hassle. read more

See all

Al is awesome! He welcomes the opportunity to provide quick and efficient service when requested. He is honest on pricing and labor based on the needs of the job. I needed a shed torn down so that I could have my New Tuff Shed installed. Not only did he remove the old shed, but he also installed a beautiful new gravel pad for my new shed to be installed on. I would recommend everyone that is considering an estimate for a new outdoor project, start with calling AL @A&B Junk removal. You won't be disappointed! read more

Hired this company to get rid of some old furniture. Very pleased with their professional approach and standards. They were able to come out sooner than scheduled, and took care of everything perfectly. Price is also very competitive for my market as I checked multiple places. Very few even answered their phones. Not this company. They know how to do prompt, professional business. Highly recommend to all. read more

Phenomenal work, fast, polite and professional, would recommend to anybody who needs junk removed or anything taken down and hauled away

We had A & B remove construction debris from a demo project my wife and I are working on. They returned our call within minutes, gave me a very affordable quote right away, showed up exactly when they said they would, were very very professional, and did a fast, fantastic job removing all debris. A & B junk removal is now at the top of my list of contractors to call!! We had great communication, and an honest, positive experience. Great great company!! And a great job ! read more

My sister and I had the boy's from A&B Junk come into my mom and dad's apartment yesterday and clear out what was left after my mom passed and my dad had 2 strokes and could not live by himself any more! Allen and his crew are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!! They are ALL very professional all the way and very careful not to bump up the walls / damage any thing at all. I just can't say enough good about them and YES will definitely use Allen again :) Thank you Allen for all your help! Kim G Westland Mi read more

A & B Junk Removal is punctual, competitively priced, and takes pride in their work. They were finished with my job in maybe 30 minutes and finished by sweeping the area where the junk was retrieved from. I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future. Thank you, Al! read more

Can't say enough about Al and his crew. Fair price, good workers, nice job. Thanks Sam and Shane...you did a fantastic job. I called a few other services....one in particular starting with LOAD wanted to charge me $116.00 to haul away 6 EMPTY BOXES....YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT EMPTY BOXES...that is like $20 per box, an empty box. So when I informed them that they got it wrong the price went up to over $500.00. So cancelled that company and called Al. I told him what I wanted hauled away and he quoted me a price that was well below the other company. Well, as usually happens, I gathered many more boxes and styrofoam in just 3 days (we just moved and were getting shipments daily). So I contacted Al and sent him pictures of the mountain of boxes, plastic, wood pallets, and styrofoam because I didn't want the same type of problem as with LOAD. Well he had to cover his costs so he raised his rate just to cover his workers and the dump costs. It still was less than half of Load. Sam and Shane showed up and used all their Tetris skills to load all my stuff.....and they did a great job. Al and his crew are on my list for all future trash needs....they are great. Thanks Al, Sam, and Shane....you are great. read more

Punctual. Very friendly. Fast working. Couldn't be happier. No more junk laying around in my backyard.

Would use again in a minute! Al and crew removed an 8 x 8 Shed from our new home. They were awesome to work with. Kept me up to date on arrival times and was quick to provide a very fair quote. Got the job done in under an hour and took the time to clean up after job was finished. Complete lifesaver! Way better service and price then any of the haul away companies I quoted! read more

Al was great to work with. I called on a Wednesday and he was here Friday morning. He got the job done in a half hour and was very nice and professional. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone! read more

Gotta be the best service I ever used. As a horder I had a lot of what some people would call junk by I found them valuable. Times have changed and I'm cleaning out my closet, literally my whole house . Need help call them u won't believe what they can do for you read more

When I started working with Al I was so excited about how great a job he promised to do. My aunt had passed away and my mother and I were responsible for her house. It was a complete mess. I walked through the house with Al and he gave me a quote and said it would be done in a few days. As he started getting into the house he realized there was a lot of stuff potentially worth money and he wanted to take his time, so he could take that stuff to storage and try to sell it later (he said he would split what he made with us 50/50). I said fine. Asked how much longer and was told by the end of the week. Fast forward a week later and he said he under bid and had to get another dumpster and it would be 325. As I was stuck at that point I said fine. Then I saw a charge for 425. He never told me about the increase, but when I called he said the dumpster was more then he expected. I let it go. Fast forward another week, house still not done he had to get appliance out. Finally got him to do that. He took all the food out of the refrigerator and left in the kitchen along with full trash cans and other junk still in the house. There was so much stuff the cleaning crew couldn't come. Our realtor has a person who is going to go in and finish it up, costing us another 300. Add to that, he still had the house keys. I tried calling and texting but he blocked my number. I finally got through to him by using a different phone. I am pretty sure he never intended to share anything from selling the things he took from the house. It's a shame I have to write such a review. I have never been so disappointed in someone that was suppose to be a professional. It was a terrible experience, especially considering we were also dealing with the death of my aunt. read more
