A couch is the single item we're asked to remove most often: over 1,400 couch pickups in the last 24 months. It's also the item most likely to get stuck in a stairwell, which is why people call us instead of a friend with a truck. Our crews know the tricks, like standing it on end, taking the legs off, unbolting a sectional and pulling the door pins, and if it truly won't go, we cut it apart and carry it out in pieces. That happens more often than you'd think, and the crew kind of enjoys it.
Couches are hard to re-home and can't be recycled whole, so most go to a licensed disposal facility after we strip out the metal frames and springs for recycling. If a couch is clean and structurally sound, we'll try to find it a home first.

How Couch & Sofa Removal Works
1
Book a free onsite estimate
Book online, or call or text (312) 800-1940. Pick an arrival window that suits you. Same-day and next-day are often available, Monday through Saturday.
2
The crew gives you a firm price on the spot
They take a look at everything and give you one number that covers the labor, loading, hauling and disposal. There's no obligation, so if it doesn't work for you, they simply leave and there's no charge.
3
Say yes and it's gone, in the same visit
The crew carries everything out from wherever it sits, loads it up, and sweeps up after themselves. Most jobs are finished right then and there.
4
All done, with a receipt to prove it
Once everything is loaded and swept, the crew takes payment and emails you a receipt with before-and-after photos, so you can see the job is complete.

A Streeterville condo needed clearing: a couch, a living-room chair, a rug, a mattress and frame, a small treadmill and assorted household items. The building required a freight elevator reservation and a COI, both of which we handle every week.
A Lakeview condo needed to be completely cleared, every closet, the kitchen, a bedroom filled to the walls, with an on-site contact meeting the crew and payment on a card on file. The building's elevator was reserved for a three-hour morning window.
A property owner had a freshly renovated unit left full of loose belongings, clothing, toys, small household items, plus a wall-mounted TV that needed to come down without damaging the new drywall.
We don't quote by phone, because we'd rather give you a number we can stand behind. The crew gives you one firm, no-obligation price once they've seen the couch and the route out. Stairs, elevators and heavy pieces are all part of that estimate, so the price they quote is the price you pay. If it doesn't work for you, there's no charge.
Can you get a couch out that won't fit down the stairs?
Yes. We remove the legs, unbolt sectionals, and if there's truly no other way, we cut the frame and carry it out in pieces. We do this regularly.
Will you donate my couch?
If it's clean and sound we'll try to re-home it, but we'll be honest with you: most used upholstered furniture has no takers. Most couches end up disposed of, with the metal recycled.
Can you take a couch with bedbugs?
Once it's been treated by a pest company, yes. We can't remove untreated infested items. After treatment, the crew bags and wraps the couch for extra protection on the way out.
Do I need to be home?
You're welcome to be there, and most people are. If the items are outside, in the garage or the alley, or the home is vacant with a lockbox, the crew can do the job without you. They'll text you before-and-after photos and take payment by phone or with a card on file.
Can I schedule it for the same day my new couch is delivered?
Yes, and it's a really common request. Book a window before the delivery and we'll have the space cleared.
We don't quote by phone, because we'd rather give you a number we can stand behind. The crew comes out for free, looks at what's going and how it's getting out (stairs, elevators, heavy material and all), and gives you one price that covers everything. Say yes and they do the job right then. Say no and there's no charge, no hard feelings.
The price is confirmed on site before anything moves, so there are no surprises on the invoice. How our pricing works →
