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.
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.

Boerum Hill questions, answered.
Do you do same-day junk removal in Boerum Hill?
Often, yes. We're based in South Slope and Fourth Avenue runs straight from our block to Boerum Hill's eastern edge, so the drive is short. Call in the morning and if the route has room, we'll clear you before the day is out.
Can you clear a damp or mildewed cellar in Boerum Hill?
Yes, and we see plenty of them. Parts of Boerum Hill sit on former marshland that bordered Gowanus Creek, and between that ground and New York's humid summers, below-grade storage takes on moisture in houses this old. We haul out the mildewed boxes, ruined furniture, and anything else the damp got to, and we keep it separate from donation loads.
Do you work with the restaurants on Smith Street or the stores on Atlantic Avenue?
We do, usually off-hours. Smith Street is the neighborhood's restaurant row and Atlantic Avenue is its design and antiques strip, so we handle kitchen equipment swaps, storefront refits, and back-room clear-outs on a schedule that doesn't cut into your open hours. Bulky display pieces and old stock go on the same truck.
Do you do snow removal in Boerum Hill?
Yes. Snow removal is a Brooklyn-wide service for us and Boerum Hill is well inside the area. The city averages about 30 inches a season, nearly all of it December through late March, and it swings hard year to year, so get on our list before the storm and we'll keep you clear.
