Furniture Removal in Joliet, IL and Nearby Cities
Couches, beds, dressers, and dining sets carried out of any room and hauled away, usually same day or next day.
Furniture is the number one thing people call Joliet Junk about, and it is almost never about the piece itself. It is about the stairs, the doorway it barely fit through when it was new, and the fact that nobody in the house wants to touch a 200 pound dresser. We send two people, we bring straps and a dolly, we carry it out from wherever it sits, and we load it. You do not need to drag anything to the curb or take anything apart first.

What We Remove
How a furniture pickup actually goes
Text a photo of the piece to (815) 551-5062 and tell us what floor it is on. We quote from the photo, so there is no in-person estimate visit. If the price works, we give you a two hour window, usually the same day if you call before noon.
When we arrive, we walk the route out with you first. Tight turns on a staircase, a storm door that only opens 90 degrees, a basement bulkhead: we would rather see it before we lift than find out halfway up. We put down a runner on hardwood and carpet, and we take door pins out if a piece needs the extra inch. Then we carry, load, and you are done. Most single-piece pickups take under 20 minutes from the time we pull up.
Cheaper options first, because you should know them
If the furniture is in good shape and you can get it to the curb or garage, you may not need us. The Will-Grundy Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 1395 N Larkin Ave in Joliet picks up donated furniture for a $25 fee, Tuesday through Saturday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Their drivers are not allowed to come inside, and they turn away anything with rips, stains, pet hair, or smoke odor. They do not take mattresses or box springs at all.
Joliet residents on the Waste Management route can usually set one or two bulk items out with the regular weekly trash. Call Waste Management at (815) 280-7854 first, because rules change and a wet couch or a multi-piece move-out pile will be left on the curb. Hot tubs, pool tables, and safes are never taken curbside.
That leaves the jobs we exist for: the piece is upstairs or in the basement, it is stained or broken, it is raining this week, there are six of them, or you simply do not have a truck and a second person. That is when it is worth paying a hauler.
Where the furniture ends up
Clean, solid pieces go to donation first. We have dropped a lot of dining sets and dressers at the ReStore and at local church resale shops, and we will tell you when a piece is going that route. Solid wood that is broken beyond use gets separated for wood recycling when the transfer station is accepting it. Upholstered pieces that are stained, torn, or bed bug suspect go straight to the landfill, and we bag those before they go on the truck so nothing spreads to the next customer's load.
What It Costs
Furniture is priced by the piece and by how hard it is to get out, not by the hour.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| One piece, ground floor or garage | $225 to $275 |
| One piece, upstairs or basement | $275 to $325 |
| Two to four pieces | $400 to $650 |
| Whole bedroom or living room | $650 to $950 |
| Full house or estate | Quoted from photos or a walkthrough |
Every price is confirmed before we lift anything. Disposal fees are included. A sleeper sofa or a solid oak armoire sits at the top of its range because of the weight. Ask about our discounts when you text; multi-item jobs and repeat customers get a lower number.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will you carry furniture out of my house, or do I need to get it to the curb?
We carry it out. That is most of what you are paying for. Second floor, finished basement, back bedroom at the end of a narrow hall, it does not matter. Leave it where it is.
Do I need to take anything apart first?
No. If a bed frame, sectional, or table needs to come apart to fit through a door, we do it on the spot. You will not need a screwdriver.
Will you take a couch that is stained or has pet damage?
Yes. Donation centers refuse those, which is why people call us. We wrap stained or torn upholstery before it goes in the truck. The price is the same as a clean couch.
Can you pick up furniture from an apartment or condo in Joliet?
Yes, and we do a lot of these on move-out day. Tell us if there is a freight elevator, a loading dock, or a management office we need to check in with, and we will handle it.
How fast can you come?
Same day is common if you text before noon. Otherwise next day. We work Saturdays.
Do you take mattresses with the furniture?
Yes. Mattresses and box springs ride along with a bed frame at no extra trip charge. The ReStore will not take them, so most people just add them to our pickup.
