You pay what we quoted.

$300 or $500 — whichever Max put in writing — when the job's done and you've looked it over. Card or check. That's the whole bill.

Don't want everything gone? Fine by us.

THE FULL CLEANOUT

Everything goes. Empty, swept, done by lunchtime.

Clean slate, ready.

THE GARAGE RESET

You keep what matters. We haul the junk, then put what stays back in order — zones, shelves, room to walk. The car finally fits.

Sorted & shelved.

Same crew, same morning, same flat price.

Tell Max which one you need — or point at the piles and we'll figure it out together.

Why the price is this simple

  1. National franchises quote $300–500 on the phone.

  2. The documented driveway bill: $800–1,500.

  3. Our numbers don't move. Both of them are on this page.

the first 10

Which one is yours? If your car still fits inside, it's probably a Half. Text Max a photo — he'll put your price in writing before we come. There is no third number.

We're new, and we're doing this in the open. The first 10 East Bay jobs run at these prices — $300 half, $500 full — locked in writing. In return we ask one thing: an honest review when we're done. (A before/after photo for this page — only if you're open to it.)

The owner picks up the phone

Max, founder of The Honest Haul, by his truck on an Oakland driveway
Max — Oakland, CA

I'm Max. I live in Oakland, and The Honest Haul is mine — the truck, the promise, and the phone number on this page.

When you call, you get me, not a dispatcher three states away reading a script. I'm on every one of these first 10 jobs. If anything's off, you tell me to my face — and I fix it.

Both prices cover all of this

  • Two-person crew and truck
  • Loading, hauling, and disposal fees
  • Sweep-out — or set-up, if you picked the Reset
  • Donation runs, publicly logged

What we'll say no to

  • Paint, chemicals, asbestos, and other hazmat — we'll point you to the county drop-off
  • Anything beyond one truckload — if your garage needs two trucks, we tell you the full price up front, and you decide. No mid-job surprises.

Fair questions

Is it really $300/$500? What's the catch?

It's really $300 for a half-full garage and $500 for a full one-car garage — about one truckload. The "catch" is that we're new and want 10 great reviews. If a job is genuinely bigger, we say so before we start — in writing — and you can walk away.

My garage is only half full — do I still pay $500?

No. That's a Half — $300 flat. Same two-person crew, same sweep-out, same donation runs. Quick test: if your car still fits inside, you're probably a Half. Max confirms your price by text before we come.

What if I can't park a truck on my street?

We handle East Bay parking, permits included. RPP zones, tight streets, apartment loading — we plan it before we come, not while blocking your neighbor.

Do I need to sort anything first?

No. Point at what goes. We do the rest.

Do I have to be home?

For these first 10 — yes, at the start and the end. It keeps us both honest.

How fast can you come?

Usually within a week; Saturdays fill first. Text a photo to (331) 271-4325 and Max will give you real dates, not a "window."

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes, licensed and insured in California. If we scratch something, we fix it. Want to see the paperwork? Ask — Max will show you before we start.

Ten garages at these prices. Then they go up.

One firm number. One truck. One morning.
