If one of your goals is to clean out your garage, basement, house, office, or the junk-filled property you just purchased or are trying to sell, Nick DeGiulio and Corey Heidkamp of Junk Remedy might be the answer.

No job is too large or too small for the old friends who went into business together in late 2009. After graduating from Barrington High School in 1999, DeGiulio attended college at the University of Montana and gained 9 years of experience in the junk removal business in Chicago and Denver. After graduating from St. Viator in 2000 and attending Kansas University, Heidkamp became a PGA apprentice and began his networking while out on the golf courses of Chicagoland. When the childhood friends met up again in 2009, they decided to put their experience and skills together to form a junk removal company, with DeGiulio handling the day-to-day operations and Heidkamp building up the clientele.

Operating out of Lake Zurich, they employ a small, reliable team that covers a 50-mile radius of Chicago. Junk Remedy is licensed, bonded, and insured, gives free estimates, and handles all loading, labor, cleanup and disposal fees. DeGiulio and Heidkamp also bring an environmental and social consciousness to their business - always considering recycling or donating before the dump - with continuous contributions to organizations such as W.I.N.G.S., Helping Our Heroes, Merryville Children's Academy, House of Hope, and more. They are proud to be not only a business, but active participants in the community, donating their time and efforts to such causes as American Cancer Society's Relay For Life, Arlington Height's Salute 5K Run, the Girl Scouts, and local high school booster clubs.
