Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removals in St. John most often begin when owners need to haul aging vessels off private property near the residential streets along 93rd Avenue. Crews frequently respond to boats sitting in driveways or side yards that have not moved in years. The relatively flat terrain and wide lots make access straightforward, though overgrown vegetation can complicate loading onto a trailer.

Waterfront removals also occur along the Little Calumet River, where boats are occasionally abandoned near low water access points after flooding events damage hulls beyond repair. Owners near the Reeder Road corridor sometimes call after storm damage leaves a vessel stranded on a lift or in standing water, and our team coordinates title processing through Lake County before the final haul away.

I was cleaning out a family member’s house that bordered on being a hoarder. I called AAA Rousse and they were able to promptly meet my junk hauling needs on two separate occasions. The men providing the service were friendly and professional. They definitely made the process easy.

The family owned company was wonderful! They came in and undertook a very difficult project without complaining and they did it at the price that they quoted to us originally. They were friendly patient hard-working and did a great job! We would not hesitate to call them again and we would recommend them to anyone we know.

We had a really great experience with the company with our hot tub removal. Everyone that we worked with was super accomodating, friendly & got the job done quickly and professionally. They also communicate really well. Would highly recommend for any junk or hot tub removal.

Rob's son Ron did a wonderful job removing a large sofa, loveseat and reclining chair. He arrived as scheduled, was courteous, funny and engaging. I would recommend AAA Rouse Junk Removal without hesitation.

This company is excellent! Removing this old 18 ft motor home was not an easy task. It had been sitting in the same spot for 26 years so needless to say it was literally falling apart and imbedded in the ground. The 2 men who removed it were so patient and professional taking care not to tear up the yard while doing so, not to mention it was one of our hottest days. They deserve 10 stars or more in my book!
