Appliance removal jobs we handle in Schaumburg
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 Schaumburg home.
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.
Doorways and stairs too tight for the appliance
Basement stairs and narrow back doors are where old appliances get stuck. We measure the path, strip what has to come off and use the right dolly.
Removal when the new appliance is coming from a store
Not every retailer takes the old unit, or only takes it if it's already unhooked. We disconnect and remove it, before delivery day or after.
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.
Microwave, hood or small built-ins
We pull down the old microwave or hood, close off the opening or wiring and take it with the rest.
Old refrigerator or freezer that has to go
We remove old fridges and chest or upright freezers, cap the water supply behind them and send them for refrigerant recovery and recycling.
Clearing the kitchen before a remodel
Before demolition, we take out the range, fridge, dishwasher, microwave and hood in one visit so the crew can start on clean walls.

Kitchen Appliance Removal questions from Schaumburg homeowners
Can you remove appliances from a condo?
Yes. We book the freight elevator, follow building rules and protect common areas.
Can you remove an appliance from the basement or second floor?
We do. Stairs are a normal part of the job.
What happens to my old appliance?
We take it to recycling, with refrigerant recovery for cooling appliances, or to donation if it still works.
Does Schaumburg pick up old appliances?
Some villages and haulers collect large appliances on request. The catch is getting it to the curb, and that's the part we handle.
Can I put an old refrigerator out with the garbage?
Usually not with regular trash. Refrigerators contain refrigerant that has to be recovered before scrapping, so they need special pickup or a recycler.
Schaumburg contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Contractors must register with the Village; out-of-town contractor license $125/year (includes $10 Schaumburg Business Association fee), runs through Dec 31. We take care of that before work starts.
Can you do appliance removal in a Schaumburg 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.
