Junk removal in Boerum Hill

Brownstone country. We do the carrying down those steep stoops and parlor-floor stairs so you don't have to.

Boerum Hill is narrow streets and historic brownstones, the blocks running off Smith Street and Atlantic Avenue where the houses sit close together and the stoops are steep. It is exactly the kind of place where wrestling a sleeper sofa down three flights yourself tends to end badly.

Much of the neighborhood sits inside a historic district, which means original detail worth not damaging: plaster, banisters, newel posts, and trim that cannot simply be replaced. We pad the route and take the time to angle things properly rather than forcing a piece through and leaving a gouge behind.

Renovations are constant here, so alongside furniture and full-apartment cleanouts we haul a lot of construction debris, old fixtures, and gut-job leftovers. Estate work too, handled quietly, in a neighborhood where everyone knows their neighbors and word travels.

Built for brownstone stairs

Steep stoops and skinny stairwells are the norm in Boerum Hill. Carrying heavy, awkward stuff down them is half of what we do, at no extra charge.

On the ground

What working in Boerum Hill actually involves.

  • Steep stoops and skinny stairwells

    The stoops here are steeper than average and the interior stairs turn tight at every landing. Carrying heavy, awkward things down them is half of what we do, at no extra charge, and we would rather take a frame apart at the top than force it and mark the plaster on the way out.

  • Narrow one-ways, and a lot of them

    State, Dean, Bergen, and Wyckoff are narrow and mostly one-way, and a truck sitting in the road blocks everything behind it. We stage where we will not box the block in, and for the buildings near Atlantic we time around the traffic instead of fighting it.

  • What we clear most here

    Renovation debris and old fixtures from the endless gut jobs, furniture from move-outs and upgrades, basement and cellar clear-outs, and estate clearances. We also get a steady run of single heavy pieces, pianos, safes, and sleeper sofas, that other crews turned down.
