A note from Damon
Hi, I'm Damon, the owner of Denton Valor Hauling.
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.
Throughout my time in the Marine Corps and as a firefighter, I learned that showing up, doing the job right, and treating people with respect isn't optional—it's the standard. I believe junk removal deserves that same level of professionalism. When you invite someone onto your property, you deserve a company that values your home, your time, and your trust as much as you do.
Whether we're picking up a single piece of furniture or completing a full property cleanout, my goal is simple: provide honest communication, dependable service, and leave every customer feeling like they made the right choice.
Thank you for considering Denton Valor Hauling. I truly appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.

How the business runs around fire shifts
Damon is a full-time firefighter/paramedic, and he's a dad. That shapes the schedule. Same-day service is sometimes possible, but not always: if he's on shift at the fire department or with his kids and family, the job waits until he's back. What you get in return is flexible scheduling and someone who will work hard to fit you in as soon as he can.
Reviewers tend to mention the same few things: communication before and during the job, showing up when promised, and a clean site afterward. You can read all of them on the reviews page.
What we hold to
- 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.
The standing discount
Denton Valor Hauling offers a standing discount for active and retired Fire/EMS, law enforcement, and military, as a thank-you for their service. Mention it when you book and it's applied to your quote.

What a phenomenal man. He hauled away a huge sofa. Integrity is so important to me. This man has it. Good prices; you can't go wrong using this service. Thank u.
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!
We used Damon to help us load some heavy furniture into our POD for moving. He so hauled away our junk. He did an incredibly excellent job. Very professional, on time, worked quickly and didn’t scratch or break anything. I would highly recommend him
Definitely come out and support this business. It is ran by an amazing man. Anything that you could need hauled off he can get it done in a jiffy - Truly amazing!! Just shoot him a call! :)

Amazing business! The pricing for the junk removal was more than fair, and they were actually able to get the junk hauled off the same day.
