Pine State Hauling and Junk Removal describes itself on its website as a locally owned junk removal company based in Portland, Maine, serving homeowners, contractors, real estate agents and businesses across Southern Maine. On Thumbtack, the company says it uses a 20-foot box truck for junk removal and moving. Its Google rating stands at 5 stars from 649 ratings. A 2022 Thumbtack customer wrote that they showed up two hours after the call and had the apartment cleaned out within 24 hours, and that Ryan kept checking whether items such as photo albums should be saved or thrown away. A 2023 Thumbtack customer needed heavy furniture donated and some disposed of, and said the job was handled quickly even in snowy conditions. A 2023 customer on Thumbtack said they fit the job into the schedule the same day for a good price. In a 2023 Thumbtack review, a customer said Ryan remembered them from a previous job and came out within an hour or two of the call. A 2023 HomeAdvisor reviewer said it was the fourth time they had used Pine State Hauling, and suggested the company to any realtor preparing a home for listing. A 2025 HomeAdvisor customer said Ryan did a total cleanout of a property during a difficult emotional time and kept a kind, respectful demeanor through the hard work. **Strengths:** - A careful sort — a recent customer said items of value were pointed out - A property cleanout — a 2025 customer said Ryan stayed kind through hard work - Same-day scheduling — a 2023 customer said they fit the job in that day ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Describes itself as a locally owned junk removal company based in Portland, Maine, serving Southern Maine _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://www.pinestatehauling.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Pine State Hauling is a locally owned and operated junk removal company based in Portland, Maine.
