Furniture Removal in Athens, AL

Big, Awkward and Ready to Go

Furniture is the most common reason people call for junk removal, and for good reason. A sectional weighs more than it looks. A sleeper sofa has a steel frame inside. A solid wood dresser takes two people and a dolly. Getting any of them down a staircase without gouging the wall is a skill.

Furniture removal handles one piece or a houseful. Maybe the new couch is arriving Friday and the old one needs to be gone first. Maybe you are moving and the dining set will not fit the new place. Either way, you point at it, and it is carried out and hauled away.

From Living Room to Gone

1. 1

   Tell us the pieces

   List the furniture and where it is. Note stairs, tight turns or a piece that came in before a wall went up.

2. 2

   Free estimate

   You get an estimate based on the size and number of pieces and how they come out.

3. 3

   Careful carry-out

   Pieces are carried out with care for floors, door frames and stair rails. Some may be taken apart to fit through.

4. 4

   Hauled away

   Furniture in good shape is set aside for donation when possible. The rest is disposed of properly.

Mattresses and Box Springs

Mattresses are a category of their own. They are bulky, floppy and hard to carry, and many people are not sure where they are allowed to go. In Athens, the city's bulk trash collection takes furniture from the curb within its weekly limit, and that can include a mattress. If you need it out of an upstairs bedroom, or you are replacing several at once, removal saves the wrestling match on the stairs.

Can My Furniture Be Donated?

Sometimes. Solid furniture in clean, usable condition has the best chance of a second home. Pieces with stains, tears, pet damage, broken frames or missing parts usually do not, and many donation centers no longer accept mattresses or upholstered pieces at all. Items are set aside for donation or recycling when possible, but it is never guaranteed, because it depends on the item and what local outlets accept on the day.

Getting Furniture Out Without Damage

Most of the risk in furniture removal is in the doorways and stairs. Before the visit, take down pictures along a staircase, move rugs that could slide, and clear the path from the room to the door. Empty drawers and cabinets so pieces are lighter and do not spill. If a piece came in before a wall or railing went up, or it was assembled in the room, mention it when you book. Some furniture is easier to take apart than to turn on a landing, and knowing that ahead of time saves the walls.

What Affects a Furniture Removal Estimate

The estimate reflects how many pieces there are, how large and heavy they are, and how they come out of the house. A loveseat from a ground-floor den is a quick job. A sleeper sofa from a second-floor bonus room with a tight landing takes longer. Every job is quoted on its own. Call for a free estimate. There is no obligation to book.
