Damon had great communication, was friendly, and punctual. We had a beast of a hot tub to haul off. His team worked hard and got the job done. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing something hauled off.
Excellent experience from initial contact and scheduling through to completion. Damon went above and beyond to help me make a safe and clean environment for my 94-year old Dad.
I needed a fence torn down and hauled away behind the wood fence was a brick wall. The guys cleaned up all the branches and fixed the wall so my pup couldn’t get out. Very fast and professional. Would highly recommend recommend.

Meet Damon
I'm a full-time Firefighter/Paramedic, an 8-year Marine Corps combat veteran, a husband, and, most importantly, a father to two incredible boys.
I started Denton Valor Hauling because I wanted to build something more than just another business. I wanted to create something my boys could grow up around—something that would teach them the value of hard work, integrity, respect, and serving others. My hope is that one day they'll not only remember watching their dad work hard, but understand why it mattered.
Awesome service, great guy!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 experience! I cannot say enough good things about this company! They truly went above and beyond to help me get a very bulky pedicure chair removed. What stood out to me most was the level of kindness and customer service they showed throughout the entire process. They followed up with me, took the personal circumstances I had going on into consideration, and genuinely worked with me to figure out an option that would work for my situation. Then, when something came up last minute and I wasn’t able to be on-site for the removal, they STILL worked with me and found a way to get it taken care of. It’s rare to find a company that treats you like an actual person instead of just another job on the schedule. They were professional, understanding, accommodating, and incredibly helpful from beginning to end. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing junk or bulky-item removal. 10/10 — above and beyond service!
Highly recommend this firefighter- and veteran-owned hauling company! They did an amazing job hauling away a bedroom set from my property. The crew was professional, friendly, punctual, and worked incredibly hard. Their communication was excellent, pricing was fair, and they left everything clean when the job was done. If you're looking for a trustworthy local business for junk removal or hauling services, give them a call. Great people, great service, and a company I'm happy to support!
Great experience hauling away a broken fridge with spoiled food on the same day I reached out. Very easy to do business with and available when I was in a bind. I would not hesitate to be a repeat customer. Edit: after my first (great!) experience I reached out to Damon and team to help start and estate clean out. Their promptness, kindness and attention to detail has made a huge difference with a garage clean out as well as premium level assistance inside the house. I would not hesitate to recommend and use the team again.
Great experience from start to finish! He was very quick, efficient, and professional when helping us clear out a garage full of trash and junk. The pricing was very fair, especially compared to other quotes we received, and the whole process was easy and hassle-free. Would absolutely recommend Denton Valor Hauling to anyone needing junk removal!
Absolutely amazing experience. Our renters bailed out on their last month and left our home a mess. Damon and his team were able to come with short notice and did an amazing job, I was out of town and they were able to coordinate with my wife, and she felt extremely comfortable with the whole process. I would give them bonus stars if could. 10/10 highly recommended!!!!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Denton Valor Hauling. Damon came out on extremely short notice and helped clear out an entire apartment in just a few hours. During a very stressful and difficult situation, they were an absolute lifesaver. His compassion and willingness to help meant more than I can express. If you’re looking for a reliable junk removal service, I highly recommend Denton Valor Hauling. I am incredibly grateful for their help and outstanding service!
Damon and the team at Denton Valor Hauling were fantastic! Damon made it incredibly easy to schedule a last-minute pickup and kept me updated throughout the day on their arrival time. They were professional, courteous, and incredibly efficient. The service was an excellent value, and the entire process was hassle-free from start to finish. I'll definitely be using Denton Valor Hauling again and highly recommend Damon and his team to anyone needing junk removal or hauling services!
10/10 recommend. We had what felt like an entire forest worth of logs sitting on the side of our rental house, and they had it gone way faster than I expected.
We recently completed a large residing project on two apartment buildings, and Denton Valor Hauling was a huge help throughout the job. Damon was extremely accommodating with our schedule, making sure the dumpsters were swapped out when we needed them and keeping our job site clean and organized from start to finish. Having a reliable hauling company made a big difference in keeping the project running smoothly. If you’re looking for dependable trash removal or job-site cleanup, I highly recommend Denton Valor Hauling. Great communication, excellent service, and we’ll definitely be using them again on future projects.
Bricked flower bed demo and haul-off I reached out to Damon last minute, and he responded quickly with a quote and was able to schedule a day and time right away. Communication was great throughout the process, and the demo and haul-off were completed efficiently and on time.
Great service! They were able to come out the next day to clear out a bunch of stuff I needed to get rid of while moving out of my house. Fast, efficient, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend if you’re needing someone reliable to haul away unneeded items.
Great experience with Denton Valor Hauling! Damon was friendly, efficient, and made the whole process so easy. Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be using them again!!!
Where we work
We're based in Denton and haul all over Denton County, plus a few towns just past the county line.
How we run it
- Neighbors first
- We live and work in the same Denton County neighborhoods as our customers, and we treat your home the way we'd want ours treated.
- Doing what we said
- Show up when we say we will, do the job we quoted, and tell you before anything changes. Damon learned that standard in the Marine Corps and the fire service.
- Fair estimates
- Honest work for a fair price. The estimate is based on truck space, it's explained up front, and there are no hidden fees.
- Where your junk goes
- We sort every load. Usable items go to local charities, recyclables get recycled, and only the rest goes to the landfill.
Questions we get
How do I get a quote?
The easiest way is to text us 1–3 photos of everything that needs to go. We'll send a rough quote based on the photos. For larger jobs we can do a free, no-obligation walkthrough on site instead.
How is junk removal priced?
By volume: how much space your items take up in our truck or trailer. You get a straightforward quote with no hidden fees, and you only pay for what we haul.
Can you come today?
Sometimes. Same-day service is possible when the schedule allows, and we're flexible about timing. It isn't always available, because Damon works shifts at the fire department and has a family. We'll fit you in as soon as we can.
What won't you take?
Hazardous waste (paints, chemicals, fuel, oils), cement and concrete, and mattresses with severe biohazard contamination or an active bed bug infestation.
When do I pay?
After the job is finished to your satisfaction. Nothing is charged up front.
Do you offer a discount for Fire, EMS, police or military?
Yes. We have a standing discount for active and retired Fire/EMS, law enforcement, and military, as a thank-you for their service.
More answers on pricing, scheduling and what we take are on the junk removal FAQ page.
