Jr. Did a great job! He came on time was very polite and took all of our extra electronics that have been sitting around forever. He even took the table that was attached to the computer (I didn't know if they were going to refuse). They were very good about scheduling and getting us on the calendar quickly. I would definitely use them again! Thanks! -Nicole
