Our story

We saw the junk.We couldn't look away.

Jojo's didn't start as a business plan. It started with a truck, a lot of full garages and basements, and the belief that nobody should have to live buried under things they can't move.

What it can be
01
What we saw

Behind every pile,
a person.

We saw it in garages where the car hasn't fit in years. In basements nobody wants to go down to. In spare rooms that quietly turned into storage, and in homes where the piles kept growing because there was no one around to help carry them out.

It's easy to look at a pile of junk and see a mess. We didn't. We saw people. People who were tired, or overwhelmed, or grieving, or who just didn't have the hands, the time or the truck. People who wanted their space back and had no idea where to start.

A pile of junk is never just a pile of junk.

Why we couldn't walk away

It's heavy in a way
that's hard to explain.

A cluttered home weighs on you. You walk past the same pile every day. You tell yourself you'll deal with it this weekend. Weekends come and go, and the pile starts to feel like a verdict on you.

It isn't. It's just stuff. And stuff can be moved.

That's the part we kept coming back to. This is fixable. Not with a lecture and not with a list of rules, but with a truck, strong backs, and someone who shows up and says, "We've got this."

So we decided to be those people.

How it began

One truck.
One phone.

Every call was someone asking for help with something they couldn't face alone.

01

The truck

Johnny started Jojo's in Georgetown with a truck and the jobs around town. Garages, basements, appliances, and houses that needed clearing out. For a while that was the whole company: him, the truck, and whoever called that day.

02

A second pair of hands

The days filled up. Declan got on deck with him, and he stuck. He came on as co-owner. With two of them, a bigger cleanout was no problem, and someone could still pick up the phone when the next family called.

03

A crew

So they built a crew. Enough hands for a full house, and someone loading while the next job is already booked. Every new person on the crew meant one more home we could get to.

Today

Johnny and Declan still run it. They still answer the phone. The crew does the lifting.

The other side

Space to
breathe again.

The garage fits the car. The basement is a room again. The spare room is a spare room. We can't give anyone back the time that a pile took up, but we can give them the floor, the light, and the breathing room.

That's what we're after on every single job. Not an empty truck bed, not a finished invoice. A home that feels lighter than it did when we pulled up.

How we show up

What you can
count on.

No judgment. Whatever state your home is in, you're not the first and you won't be the last.

We show up

We arrive when we say we will, so you're never left waiting around.

We lift it all

You point, we carry. Stairs, heavy pieces, the lot.

We respect your home

We treat your space the way we'd want ours treated. Friendly and professional, always.

We leave it clean

When we go, the space is cleared and the area is left clean.

In their words
★★★★★
Johnny and his team were fantastic. They arrived on time, worked quickly, and removed all of my junk without any hassle. They were professional, friendly, and left the area completely clean. The pricing was fair.
