    Kevin T.

    Call us! (510)220-1358 We are a full-service junk removal company located in Oakland, California, servicing Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, San Leandro, and other nearby Bay Area communities. The business was started in 2001, by East Bay native and longtime Oakland resident Kevin Torrey. Kevin's original name for the company was "Haulin' Oates", but rather than saddle the fledgling operation with potential brand confusion and a dated music reference , he eventually decided on "American Hauling". But make no mistake: we're local to the core. We are your neighborhood independent junk removal professionals, here to help you get rid of unwanted stuff. And we know the Bay Area in and out, so if we can't help you, we'll let you know who can.

      I've hired someone to help me clear the clutter out of my place and reorganize. Of course, at a certain point, I needed the clutter removed, so I shopped around asking local hauling services for their rate. I also provided pictures.

      Kevin was great. He responded right away, which I didn't necessarily expect as it was the weekend. I got a fair quote for both credit and cash with a small discount for cash as you're avoiding the credit card processing fees. I didn't receive a fair quote from a couple of other services I reached out to. That stuck with me because I want to pay for the service, but I also don't want to get ripped off.

      Someone came by from American Hauling that Monday morning and took the boxes and bags of junk away. They'll be a part two to this, so now I know who to call when it's time for part two.

      Very good service. He was very friendly. He completed the work in a short time and sent me photos after the completion. Very good cleaning work.

      Very satisfied with the demolition work done by American Hauling! We were quoted by other companies by almost double the amount. The team communicated well throughout the job, arrived in a timely manner, cleaned up the place, even pulled out the electrical wiring, and overall finished the job in under 4 hours. Highly recommend!

      I was looking to dispose of an old couch and some other bulky spring cleaning items and discovered American Hauling on Yelp. I was impressed with all of their positive reviews on Yelp, and now I'm one of them. American Hauling was very professional and friendly. They came in and quickly wished away my items at a reasonable cost. I'll definitely will be contacting them again for my fall cleaning and have already recommended them to one of my neighbors. Nice job!

      STILL GREAT SERVICE! My first review of Kevin was 2009...so you know that I trust and value his service. We clipped ginormous branches off 3 trees and left them in the yard. His crew of three showed up earlier than the scheduled window (after a phone call letting me know they'd be able to) and efficiently got it all out. A big bonus for me is that he takes all forms of payment - including American Express, which I appreciate for the points. Don't hesitate to contact Kevin!

      Maybe the girls weren't happy that Kevin came and hauled away the branches. It was their play fort...

      Wow - these guys just left my place and did an excellent job!

      Overall - fast response to initial email. Prices better than I found elsewhere. They told me when they'd be here and they showed up on time. Friendly guys who worked fast and they even swept up afterwards.

      HIGHLY recommended.

      My roommates and I were clearing out of our apartment and needed to get rid of a bunch of furniture left by previous tenants. American Hauling promptly gave us a quote that was quite reasonable. They did a very professional job on short notice. Highly recommended for anyone in East Bay who needs bulky items removed.

      Kevin here was flexible, reasonably-priced and right on time. Some other haulers didn't return my calls. I kept changing things on them, and Kevin was available for calls and emails on short notice. His crew even swept the floor after they picked up the junk!

      Very reasonable price, timely and professional. I received an estimate within a half hour and they informed me that I could add more items which would be included in their basic rate. The haulers were professional and wore masks. They even swept up the debris and made sure everything was clean. I will definitely use them again!
