Marine Corps veteran Jim Marchioni joins the Shop Jersey Shore Podcast to kick off Season 2 and unpack what homeowners and businesses in Ocean and Monmouth County should know about junk removal, roof cleaning, soft washing, power washing, and light demolition.

If you’ve wondered how pricing works, what gets hauled, or the safest way to clean a roof, this episode is your playbook—delivered by a veteran-owned, award-winning local company.

Meet Camo Vets (and why the “vets” part matters)

Camo Vets is based in the Barnegat/Manahawkin area and serves Ocean and Monmouth County, NJ. Jim launched the company 11 years ago with a clear mission: hire and support veterans and military families while delivering top-tier exterior cleaning and hauling services.

The team recently earned American Legion Small Business of the Year (national) recognition for their work serving the veteran community. They also partner with Ma Deuce Deuce (Toms River) to connect veterans with jobs and local support.

What they do (residential + commercial)

Junk Removal & Cleanouts

• Single items, curbside pickups, appliances (refrigerators, etc.)
• Full home & estate cleanouts, hoarder situations, storage units
• Contractor & construction debris (great when a dumpster won’t fit)
• Light demolition: sheds, decks, fences, hot tubs
• Donation-first mindset: re-usable items are routed to local centers to reduce landfill waste

How it works:
Call or submit a form → quick ballpark over the phone (for typical jobs) → truck arrives ready to work → on-site, no-obligation quote → if approved, they load and haul. For whole-house projects, they’ll schedule an in-person estimate first.

Budget tip from Jim: if you’re cost-sensitive and able to DIY part of the work, he’ll explain when a short-term dumpster makes sense and how Camo Vets can finish what’s left.

Exterior Cleaning the right way: Soft Wash vs. Power Wash

When you hear “power washing,” think hard surfaces like concrete and pavers. For siding, trim, vinyl and composite fences, decks, and especially roofs, high pressure can cause damage. Camo Vets uses soft washing—a low-pressure rinse paired with the right cleaning solution to safely lift mold, mildew, and grime.

Roof Cleaning (with a 5-Year Clean Warranty)

• Eliminates black streaks (algae), lichens, and moss
• Uses a specialized soft-wash solution (no high pressure on shingles)
• For heavy growth, plants die off first, then shed naturally over 60–90 days
• Team returns to inspect and re-treat if needed—and backs the work with a 5-year clean warranty

Landscape-safe process

The crew pre-waters plants, shields landscaping during application, and post-rinses to protect your beds—especially crucial in hot weather when plants are already stressed.

When to book (and why spring fills fast)

Junk removal runs year-round. Exterior washing typically ramps up mid-March (weather permitting) through early summer. April–June time slots fill quickly—get an estimate on the books early to secure your preferred date.

Who they serve

• Homeowners across Ocean & Monmouth County (frequent on LBI, Manahawkin, Barnegat, Point Pleasant, Belmar, Lavalette, Seaside, and surrounding towns)
• Property managers & realtors (pre-sale cleanouts, estate transitions)
• Contractors & builders (debris removal when space or timelines make dumpsters impractical)

Veteran-Owned, Local Crew With Military-Grade Reliability

Camo Vets is led by Marine Corps veteran Jim Marchione and staffed by a local team that brings the discipline, punctuality, and problem-solving mindset you expect from military training. Jobs start on time, sites stay organized, and the work is finished to spec—so you aren’t left managing delays, messes, or surprises.

Fully Insured and Properly Licensed (Including NJ A901)

You’re protected from start to finish. Camo Vets carries full liability coverage and workers’ comp, and holds New Jersey’s A901 solid waste transporter authorization for junk removal. That means your cleanout is handled legally and safely—from your driveway to the disposal facility—reducing risk for homeowners, HOAs, property managers, and builders.

Donation and Recycling Come First

Usable items don’t go straight to the dump. The team sorts as they load, routing furniture, housewares, and building materials to local donation partners when possible and recycling metals and cardboard to cut landfill volume. You get a cleared space and a smaller environmental footprint, with receipts available when donation centers accept qualifying items.

Clear Pricing With On-Site Quotes

Before anything gets loaded, a uniformed crew reviews what you have and gives a firm, written price on site. No bait-and-switch, no meter running in the background. For smaller pickups, you’ll get a ballpark estimate by phone, then a final quote at your door—so you can approve with confidence or decline at no cost.

Mention the Season 2 premiere to get $50 off qualifying junk removal loads.

Roof Cleaning With Real Follow-Through

Camo Vets uses manufacturer-approved soft washing to remove black streaks, lichen, and moss without blasting away shingle granules. After treatment, they return for a courtesy inspection—because organic growth breaks down over 60–90 days—and their roof wash includes a 5-year spot-treat warranty. If you see regrowth, they come back and make it right.
