Efren, the team’s lead, is very communicative and very professional. It is obvious that, all though he is relatively new to the industry, he is determined to provide great customer service and fair pricing. His work has been completed as promised and on schedule. I have used a number of hauling services over the years, but Gonzo’s will be my go to team moving forward.

Very easy to work with, good pricing and came out 2Xs after quoting pics since we had minor updated changes after first quote. They stay in touch with the quote, appointment and when he's a few minutes away.

From start to finish everything was smooth and easy. Communication was fast, and very professional. Everything was hauled off super quick, the area look like nothing was there afterwards. We were super pleased and definitely recommend Speedy Gonzo's Hauling!!

Where do I even begin, these guys were top tier from initial estimate to the completion of my project. Efren and his Uncle were chill down to earth, fair priced and worked their tails off to get the job done. Efren kept us up to date on any and all information including permits, delys and start date. Seriously cannot compliment or praise these guys enough. You will not regret giving them a call and seeing what they can do for you!

I had a few pieces of furniture that had to be moved up a flight of stairs. On a whim I decided to call Speedy Gonzo's Hauling. I got Efren on the phone and he agreed to stop by the same afternoon. Fair pricing and immediate response made this a great deal. I knew I had picked the right team as I received multiple updates regarding the expected time of arrival. Needless to say, Efren and Robert arrived at the appointed time and got to work. All the items were moved to the desired spots with great care and efficiency. I highly recommend this courteous, efficient team for all your moving needs.

I needed to have a 8 x 10 shed with contents torn down and removed. I've never seen anyone work so methodically and FAST. The shed was gone in less than a couple of hours later. And the work was reasonably priced as well. I highly recommend them!
