I called Joseph, with lightning Rubbish Removal at the last minute after calling several others in the local area who ether didn't call back or were not reliable at scheduling. Joseph fit me into his busy schedule (with a very calm demeanour even though i was an hour out of his city), kept his word, showed up on time, did exactly what he said he would do, worked amazingly hard and fast and went above and beyond. A man of his word with high professional and personal conduct. Not only that, he was one of the least expensive for this type of work! Wow, Im impressed! Tope of the line service! This company was a sigh of relief that was reliable and dependable! Hard to find these days.Thank you so much! Pam
