Appliance & Furniture Haul-Away

Not every job needs a whole truck

A lot of calls we get are simple: one dead refrigerator, one couch that didn't survive the move, one mattress after a new one showed up. For those, we don't make you pay for truck space you're not using. We price by the item. It's only once you get into two or three pieces plus boxes, or a whole garage worth of stuff, that it makes more sense to price by truck volume instead, and we'll tell you which way is cheaper before you commit.

What we haul, and what it typically runs

Multiple items from the same visit usually come with a small combined discount off the per-item add-up, since we're already there with the truck. Ask when you call.

How pricing decides itself

1. Tell us the item and quantity. "One fridge" is a different quote than "fridge, washer, dryer, and a couch."
2. We tell you which pricing makes sense. Under three items, per-item. Three or more plus general clutter, we'll usually quote it as a quarter or half truck instead using our truck-volume pricing.
3. Access gets factored in. A second-floor apartment or a fridge wedged behind a built-in counter takes longer than curbside pickup.
4. We confirm price before loading, whichever pricing method applies.
5. We load, strap, and haul, then sweep up where the item was sitting.

What makes appliance and furniture jobs harder

Weight and stairs are the two real variables. A standard fridge runs 200 to 300 pounds; a full-size washer or a stone-top dresser can run heavier still, and a flight of stairs or a tight apartment hallway adds real time and sometimes an extra person to the crew. Sectionals that don't break down at the seams sometimes have to go out a window or a patio door instead of a front hallway, which we'll scope out before quoting rather than discover mid-job. And older appliances, especially chest freezers and window units in homes near Port Arthur's refinery-era housing stock, sometimes have refrigerant that needs proper handling rather than a straight toss in the truck.

How long it takes

A single item, curbside or ground floor, is usually a 15 to 20 minute stop. Add stairs or tight access and that stretches to 30 to 40 minutes. Three or four items from one property, our usual definition of a combined visit, typically runs 45 minutes to an hour.

One limit worth knowing

We don't disconnect gas lines, hardwired electrical, or plumbing. If your water heater or range is still connected, have a plumber or electrician disconnect it first. Once it's free and clear, we'll haul it from there.
