Junk Removal in Galt
Junk removal for Galt's century homes and the older streets on both sides of the Grand, where the houses are deep, the stairs are steep and the attics are full.
Galt is the oldest part of Cambridge and the oldest housing stock in the Region: brick and granite houses from the 1800s along the Grand River, up Dickson Hill and across West Galt, and the workers' cottages, semis and rowhouses on the streets east of Water Street and around the old factories. They were built with full basements divided into rooms, attics with proper stairs, carriage houses and sheds, and many have been in one family for generations. That makes Galt the estate cleanout capital of the Region. When a long-time owner dies or moves into care, the house holds three floors of furniture, a basement workshop and preserving room, an attic of trunks, and an outbuilding that never held a car. The crew works these houses room by room with the family or executor, sets aside documents, photographs and anything of value, stages furniture for donation or a dealer, and then hauls the rest. Access is the challenge: steep, turning staircases, narrow doors, and streets in the core where there is no driveway and the truck sits on the road. Some houses are heritage-designated, which affects what can be done to the building rather than what can be carried out of it; built-in features stay unless the City of Cambridge says otherwise. Downtown Galt's storefronts and the older industrial buildings along the river add commercial clear-outs to the mix. Basements near the river have flooded in the past and wet, mouldy contents are quoted as such. Same firm number before lifting, no extra charge for being in Galt.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge more for Ayr or Branchton?
Inside Cambridge the price is the same everywhere. For Ayr, Branchton and rural North Dumfries the extra distance is built into the quote before you agree to it, so the number you approve is the number on the invoice. Farm loads are usually big enough that the trip is a small part of the total.
Is Galt harder to work in than Preston or Hespeler?
Often, yes. Galt's century houses have steep stairs, narrow doors and no driveway on some streets, so more of the job is carrying. Preston and Hespeler's post-war houses usually have a driveway and a side door to the basement. The quote reflects the house, not the postal code.
