If I could give Junken Monkeys in Scranton, PA zero stars, I would. This was hands down one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with a company. From the start, communication was inconsistent and unprofessional, and it only got worse from there. They made promises they didn’t keep, gave unclear pricing, and by the end of it all, I felt completely ripped off. What was supposed to be a straightforward job turned into a stressful, drawn-out situation filled with excuses and zero accountability.

Unfortunately you are the competition and not a client of ours and there is zero record of any communication with our company

These guys left dozens of nails/screws and dozens of shards of broken mirror all over our alleyway on Bacon Street in Jermyn over several days not too long ago. Not cool. 👎 If they're gonna throw stuff out a side window directly into the alleyway, have the decency to properly clean up afterwards... Each of the tires on my car cost $300 to replace. Not to mention we have loads of children that play around here and its unnecessarily dangerous for them too! I don't recommend because of that.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!! I had a very disappointing experience with this company. From the start, communication was inconsistent and expectations were not met. Promises that were made during the initial agreement were not followed through, and I felt like I was constantly having to chase updates or clarification. The entire process ended up being far more stressful than it should have been.

Junken Monkeys did a good job with my cleanout. They showed up on time, worked hard, and were professional throughout the process. The pricing was fair, communication was straightforward, and they made a difficult project much more manageable. Overall, I was happy with the service and would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable junk removal company.

5-star Google reviewEdwin R.2 months ago
As a business owner I know how important it is to have great customer service and Junken Monkey's definitely delivered that. John was punctual and very communicative. He's extremely professional and their team did a great job I would refer them to anyone who needed their service and we're definitely going to use them again! Thanks Junken Monkey!

I can't say enough good things about the Junken Monkey crew. Communication was great through the whole process and the guys were done in record time. They were all true professionals and I won''t hesitate to work with them again. Brian, the owner, was great to work with and has built a solid local business.
