Appliance removal jobs we handle in Bartlett
Our Bartlett crews remove refrigerators, freezers, ranges, wall ovens, cooktops, dishwashers and microwaves, one at a time or a whole kitchen before a remodel. We do the lifting and the stairs, and the old units go to recyclers or donation instead of the curb.
Broken appliance that's leaking or smells
A fridge that died with food inside or a dishwasher that's been leaking needs careful handling. We empty, seal and remove it without spreading the mess.
Removal when the new appliance is coming from a store
Some delivery crews won't touch gas lines or water connections. We prepare the old appliance and haul it off so the new one can go right in.
Protecting floors and walls on the way out
We lay runners and use appliance dollies with straps so a heavy range or fridge doesn't scratch hardwood or tear vinyl.
Gas range that needs disconnecting
Pulling a gas range out isn't just lifting. The supply is turned off, the line capped and tested, then the range is moved out on a dolly.
Hardwired wall oven or cooktop removal
A wall oven comes out of its cabinet with the power off at the panel and the conductors capped inside a covered box, ready for the next appliance.
Dishwasher removal without a flood
We shut the water valve, disconnect the supply and drain lines and cap them, then slide the dishwasher out over a protected floor.
Appliance that still works and could be donated
Working ranges and refrigerators are often wanted by reuse stores. Let us know, and we'll try donation before recycling.

Kitchen Appliance Removal questions from Bartlett homeowners
Is appliance removal free?
Free haul-away is sometimes bundled with a purchase. Our service covers the jobs those don't: gas and water disconnects, stairs and recycling.
Can you remove an appliance from the basement or second floor?
We do. Stairs are a normal part of the job.
How much does appliance removal cost?
It depends on how many units, their size, the stairs and whether gas, water or hardwired connections are involved. We give a written, itemized estimate.
Can you take an appliance that still works?
We do. Working units can often go to a reuse outlet.
Will you remove appliances before my remodel starts?
Yes. We clear every appliance, cap the utilities and leave the kitchen ready for demolition.
Do I need a Bartlett-registered contractor for appliance removal?
All contractors must be licensed by the Village of Bartlett (per trade); licensing questions via Main Office 630-837-0800. We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for appliance removal in Bartlett?
It depends on the scope. Bartlett's rule in short: Building permits are required for all construction and home improvement projects, whether done by homeowner or contractor; Remodel is a listed permit type. We handle the permit when one is needed with Building Division (Planning & Development Services).
Do you work in my part of Bartlett?
Yes. Our crews work across Bartlett — ZIP 60103, 60120 — and nearby Hanover Park, Carol Stream, Bloomingdale.
