Managing rental properties in Northern Colorado means dealing with one unavoidable reality: turnovers. And turnovers mean junk.
Whether it’s a tenant who left behind a garage full of furniture, an eviction cleanout in Greeley, or an inherited property in Cheyenne that needs gutting before it can hit the rental market — the stuff has to go. Fast.
Most property managers cobble together a solution: call a hauler for the junk, a different crew for the carpet tearout, maybe a third guy for the deck that’s falling apart. Three vendors. Three schedules. Three invoices. And every day that unit sits empty, you’re bleeding money.
There’s a better way.
The Real Cost of Vacancy Days
Every property manager knows the math. A vacant unit isn’t just not earning rent — it’s actively costing you. Mortgage payments, utilities, HOA fees, insurance — they don’t pause because a tenant left.
In Fort Collins, where average rents hover around $1,800–$2,200 for a 2-bedroom, every day of vacancy costs $60–$73. A turnover that drags out an extra week because you’re waiting on multiple contractors? That’s $400–$500 gone.
For managers handling portfolios across Loveland, Windsor, Greeley, and Cheyenne, those numbers multiply fast. If you’re managing 10 turnovers per year across your portfolio and each one loses an extra 3–5 days to vendor coordination, that’s easily $12,000–$25,000 in unnecessary vacancy losses annually.
The biggest time drain isn’t usually the paint or the carpet install — it’s the cleanout and prep stage. Getting the old tenant’s stuff out, tearing out damaged fixtures, and clearing the unit so real renovation work can begin. That’s where the bottleneck lives.
One Crew. One Visit. Everything Handled.
Here’s what makes a dedicated junk removal and demolition partner different from calling a random hauler off Craigslist:
We handle the full scope in a single visit. Junk hauling, appliance removal, e-waste disposal, furniture, mattresses — plus light demolition like cabinet tearouts, old flooring removal, deck and fence demolition, shed takedowns, and concrete breaking.
That means you make one call, schedule one crew, and hand over the keys. When we leave, the unit is broom-clean and ready for your maintenance team to start fresh.
No more coordinating between a junk hauler who “doesn’t do demo” and a demo crew who “doesn’t haul.” We do both. Same truck. Same day.
How We Price It (And Why PMs Love It)
We use volume-based pricing — you pay based on how much space your stuff takes up in our truck, not by the hour. That means our crew has every incentive to work fast and efficient. No clock-watching.
But here’s what really matters for property managers: every single job is bid individually. We don’t do cookie-cutter pricing. A studio apartment cleanout in Fort Collins is priced differently than a 4-bedroom eviction cleanout in Greeley. A shed teardown in Loveland is different from a concrete patio removal in Cheyenne.
We look at YOUR specific situation and give you a number that makes sense.
And one more thing — our prices are negotiable. Especially for property managers who bring us repeat business. We’d rather build a long-term relationship with your portfolio than nickel-and-dime you on a single job.

Serving the Entire I-25 Corridor
We work across Northern Colorado and into Southern Wyoming. The I-25 corridor is one of the fastest-growing rental markets in the Mountain West, and property managers here need vendors who can cover the full geography without charging trip fees or limiting availability to one city.
Here’s where we operate:
- Fort Collins — Our home base. Same-day service available most days.
- Loveland — Quick response for the growing rental market along 34 and 287.
- Greeley & Evans — Serving the Weld County rental corridor.
- Windsor & Timnath — New construction areas with growing PM needs.
- Longmont & Berthoud — Southern reach of our service area.
- Cheyenne, WY — Just 45 minutes north. We serve Southern Wyoming property managers who can’t find a reliable local option.
Wherever your properties are in this corridor, we’ll get there.
What to Look for in a Junk Removal Vendor (Quick Checklist)
Not all haulers are created equal. When vetting a partner for your portfolio, ask:
- Are they insured? Non-negotiable. If someone gets hurt on your property, you need that coverage.
- Do they do demo too? A vendor that only hauls means you’re still hiring a second crew for tearouts.
- Volume-based pricing? Hourly billing incentivizes slow work. Volume-based means fast turnarounds.
- Same-day availability? Turnovers don’t always happen on schedule. You need someone who can mobilize fast.
- Will they provide documentation? Before-and-after photos protect you in security deposit disputes.
- Can they handle hazardous items? Paint, chemicals, electronics — proper disposal matters.
- Do they bid individually? Cookie-cutter pricing means you’re overpaying on small jobs or getting shortchanged on big ones.
Why Property Managers Keep Calling Us Back
We’ve been doing this in Northern Colorado since 2015. We know the rental market here. We know that a property manager in Fort Collins has different needs than one managing units in Cheyenne. We know that speed matters more than almost anything else when you’re trying to flip a unit.
What we hear most from PMs who’ve tried other services: “I used to call one company for junk, another for demo, and a third for hauling the demo debris. Now I just call you.” That’s the whole point. Consolidation saves time, saves money, and eliminates the scheduling headaches that drag turnovers into extra weeks.
We also know this business runs on relationships. When you call us at 7 AM because a tenant just vacated and you need the unit cleared by tomorrow for a showing — we pick up. We make it happen. Because we know you’ll call us again next month, and the month after that.
Here’s what working with us looks like:
1. You call or text. Tell us what you’ve got — a unit cleanout, a demo job, or both.
2. We give you an individual bid. Based on YOUR job, not a generic price sheet.
3. We show up. Often same-day. Always on time.
4. We clear everything. Junk, debris, demo materials — all of it leaves with us.
5. You get your unit back. Broom-clean and ready for the next phase.
That’s it. No back-and-forth with multiple vendors. No week-long delays. One call, one crew, done.
Let’s Talk About Your Portfolio
Whether you manage 5 units in Loveland or 50 across Northern Colorado and Cheyenne, we want to be your go-to crew. We’ll work with you on pricing that makes sense for repeat business, and we’ll prioritize your jobs because we know vacancy days cost real money.
We’ve worked with property managers handling single-family rentals in Windsor, multi-unit complexes in Greeley, and commercial spaces in Fort Collins. The common thread? They all got tired of the vendor juggling act and wanted one reliable crew they could call for anything — junk, demo, or both.
