Backing up the truck0%

Hi, I’m Aaron.

I started STL Demolition & Junk Removal in 2023 to take the heaviest part of a mess off people’s hands. Family comes first for me, faith keeps me honest, and both shape how this business runs.

Family-oriented

Family first. Always.

Every house we walk into belongs to somebody’s family. We treat it like it’s ours.

That photo up top is my why. Every early start and every heavy load is about the people I get to come home to.

So I run this business the way I’d want someone to treat my own family: show up when we said we would, tell you the price before anything moves, and leave your place cleaner than we found it.

A lot of our jobs land on hard days: an estate after a loss, a move that came too fast, a parent downsizing out of the house they raised everyone in. We slow down, listen, and handle your family’s things with care.

  • On time

    You get a real arrival window, and we stick to it.

  • Price first

    You hear the final number before we lift a thing.

  • Broom-swept

    We sweep the space we cleared before we leave.

Why I started this

Every job starts the same way: someone who’s been staring at a problem for too long. A basement that filled up over twenty years. A deck that’s one bad winter from falling down. A remodel stalled behind a pile of drywall.

That weight is real, on your back and on your mind. I wanted people in St. Louis to have someone reliable to hand it to.

It’s about the neighborhood too. Junk dumped in alleys and piled on curbs makes a block feel forgotten. Every couch, fridge and busted-up deck we haul away the right way is one less eyesore on a St. Louis street, and our loads go to a facility that sorts out what can be recycled.

More than 1,000 jobs later, that’s still the whole idea: clear the mess, lighten the load, and help keep St. Louis clean, one truck at a time.

  • Hauling and demolition, one crew

    Most messes come in two parts: the thing that has to come out, and the pile it leaves behind. We do both in one visit, on one bill. If a job needs a permit, we pull it.

  • Priced by the load

    It’s the fairest way I know. You can see what a quarter, half, three-quarter or full truck costs before you ever call.

Christian-owned

Built on faith

Faith is a big part of who I am, and it’s a big part of how this company runs. It’s why honesty isn’t a policy here; it’s just how we work. Fair prices, straight answers, and doing the job right even when nobody’s watching.

It’s also why we’re proud to be listed on LocateFaith, a directory of Christian-owned local businesses. If you’re looking to support businesses that share your faith, you’ll find us there.

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”

Rated 5.0 out of 5 on Google from 72 reviews

  • Aaron and Max are excellent. Aaron took the time to review photos, provide the perfect dumpster size, and provided guidance for getting the permit. Max was timely and pleasant for both drop off and pickup. He even made it off my narrow street with no problem! I absolutely 💯 recommend!
