# Locke Property Services LLC **Trade:** Junk Removal · **Address:** 2 Ledgewood Dr, Danvers, MA 01923 · **Phone:** (978) 836-2436 · **Website:** https://lockepropertyservices.com · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.2/5** (medium confidence) — from 34 reviews across 4 sources. 97% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 4 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Locke Property Services is a Danvers company built around dumpster rentals and junk removal — clear a garage, gut a shed, haul yard debris — with additional demolition, excavation, snow and ice management, and property management and security checks across the North Shore. The company says owner Chris Locke started the business in 1999 at 17, running it alongside a 17-year career as a police officer before leaving law enforcement to run it full time; his wife Andrea, also a retired officer, co-owns and administers it. The nearly three dozen Google reviews since 2022 tell a consistent story: dumpsters and pickup crews show up on time, often at an exact promised hour, and the price tends to beat competitors. A 2023 review said a delivered dumpster's fee came in far below other quotes, and another from the same year described a 2-ton dumpster dropped off and picked up on schedule with clear texted updates. Beyond dumpsters, reviewers describe Chris and his crew handling junk removal, a 2024 shed demolition left spotless, a 2024 window replacement, and a 2026 same-day referral to a plumber for a bathroom leak. A 2024 building permit on file shows the company also took on a $125,000 commercial fire-damage repair job in Revere. One 2024 review stands out from the rest: a customer who "questioned him" described Chris getting defensive and called the interaction "not very business" — a rare complaint against an otherwise near-uniform run of five-star reviews. BuildZoom lists an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (#212682) for the business, though its own page shows the license's issue date coming after the date it says it verified the license — worth a quick check before signing anything. The company's own site separately describes itself as a "fully licensed Massachusetts General Contractor," which hasn't been independently verified. Worth calling for dumpster rentals, cleanouts, and small property-service jobs across the North Shore — confirm the current license status directly and, if the scope of a job grows beyond a cleanout, ask which license covers that specific work. **Strengths:** - On-time drop-offs — dumpsters and pickups arrive at the promised hour - Below-market pricing — a 2023 review cited a fee well under other quotes - Handles varied jobs — junk removal, demolition, and window replacement **Concerns:** - Defensive reaction — one 2024 review described pushback when questioned **Where sources disagree:** - BuildZoom's own listing shows the license's issue date (7/17/2026) after the date it says the license was verified (June 2026). ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Offers dumpster rentals, junk removal, estate cleanouts, demolition, snow/ice management, and property management across the North Shore _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.lockepropertyservices.com) — “A Danvers, Massachusetts property services company offering property management and security checks, dumpster rentals, junk removal and esta…” - Company says owner Chris Locke started the business in 1999 at age 17 and ran it alongside a 17-year police career before going full-time _(confidence: low)_ - [Official Website](https://www.lockepropertyservices.com) — “Company history (self-reported): Chris Locke started the business in 1999 at the age of 17, ran it alongside a 17-year career as a police of…” - Self-reported family- and first-responder-owned, run by Chris and Andrea Locke, both active or retired police officers _(confidence: low)_ - [Official Website](https://lockepropertyservices.com) — “Stated ownership (self-reported): Family-owned” - [Official Website](https://www.lockepropertyservices.com) — “Ownership (self-reported): Owned and founded by Chris Locke with co-owner and administrator Andrea Locke; the site describes them as active …” - [Official Website](https://www.lockepropertyservices.com) — “Stated ownership (self-reported): First-responder-owned” - BuildZoom lists an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license #212682 for the business, though its listing shows the license's issue date after the date it says it verified the license _(confidence: low)_ - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/locke-property-services) — “Licence listed on BuildZoom: Home Improvement Contractor licence #212682, listed Status Active, State Massachusetts, Date Issued 07-17-2026 …” - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/locke-property-services) — “BuildZoom profile for Locke Property Services at 2 Ledgewood Dr, Danvers, MA 01923, phone (978) 836-2436, owned by Christopher Locke; BuildZ…” - The company's own site describes itself as a fully licensed Massachusetts General Contractor, not verified against any registry _(confidence: low)_ - [Official Website](https://www.lockepropertyservices.com) — “Self-reported license/registration number (NOT verified against any registry): fully licensed Massachusetts General Contractor” - A 2024 building permit shows a $125,000 commercial fire-damage repair job in Revere _(confidence: medium)_ - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/locke-property-services) — “BuildZoom's permit-history profile for Locke Property Services at 2 Ledgewood Dr, Danvers, MA (owner listed as Christopher Locke) reports a …” - Reviews from 2022-2026 repeatedly praise on-time, exact-hour dumpster drop-offs and pickups _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2tab1FrZEhYMUpwZUdnNVJVdFBZWGxZWDBOSmMwRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xd61cd310f37b8e08!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOkZoQkdHX1JpeGg5RUtPYXlYX0NJc0E%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, communicative, and reliable from start to finish.
