Appliance removal jobs we handle in Glendale Heights
A dead fridge in the garage or a stove that's being replaced doesn't have to sit around for weeks. We shut off and cap the connections, carry the unit out without scuffing walls or floors and haul it off from your Glendale Heights home.
Dishwasher removal without a flood
Old dishwashers hold water in the bottom and the lines. We drain and disconnect them properly so nothing spills on the floor.
Microwave, hood or small built-ins
Over-the-range microwaves, range hoods and trash compactors come out too. We take down the bracket, cap the wiring or duct and remove the unit.
Second fridge or freezer in the garage or basement
That extra refrigerator in the garage or the old chest freezer in the basement often gets left for years. We carry it up or out and send it for recycling.
Broken appliance that's leaking or smells
Dead refrigerators can smell badly and leak as they warm up. We tape the doors, keep it upright and carry it out over protected floors.
Clearing the kitchen before a remodel
Out with the whole appliance set at once: connections safely capped and the kitchen cleared for new cabinets and floors.
Protecting floors and walls on the way out
Dragging an appliance across the floor is how most damage happens. We lift, roll and protect the route instead.
Hardwired wall oven or cooktop removal
Removing a built-in cooking appliance means unscrewing it from the cabinet or counter and making the wiring behind it safe. Both are part of the job.
What the install includes
- Floor and doorway protectionWe cover the route from the kitchen to the truck.
- Gas disconnect and capThe gas supply is shut off and sealed where the range was.
- Water and drain disconnectSupply valves shut, lines removed and capped, drains released and plugged.

Kitchen Appliance Removal questions from Glendale Heights homeowners
Can you remove appliances from a condo?
We do condo removals, coordinated with management.
How much does appliance removal cost?
Number of appliances, access and disconnect work drive the price. We put it in writing up front.
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.
Do I need to empty or defrost the fridge first?
Yes, empty it. Defrosting overnight keeps water off the floor during the move.
Can you take an appliance that still works?
Yes. We remove it the same way, and if it's in good shape we try donation or reuse before recycling.
What happens to the old appliance in Glendale Heights?
Republic Services (847-981-0091): call to arrange curbside pickup of appliances and furniture; items over 50 lb need notice. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
Can you do appliance removal in a Glendale Heights condo?
Associations usually set rules for work hours, elevators, deliveries and insurance, and many require approval for plumbing, electrical or structural changes. We provide the certificate of insurance and follow the building's rules.
Do I need a Glendale Heights-registered contractor for appliance removal?
Contractors must be licensed with the Village before working; $20,000 surety/license bond required. We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for appliance removal in Glendale Heights?
It depends on the scope. Glendale Heights's rule in short: Permits required for most construction projects; a Residential Remodel/Alteration application exists; call Community Development if unsure. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department.
Do you work in my part of Glendale Heights?
Yes. Our crews work across Glendale Heights — ZIP 60139 — and nearby Bloomingdale, Carol Stream, Addison.
