A dead spa on a pad, a shell already cut, or a tub that will not fit the side gate as-is.
Hot tub removal in North Dallas
Specialty quote from photos — not the $125 sofa minimum. Access and whether it must be cut drive the number.
A spa that stopped being a spa is just a large, awkward backyard object with a gate problem. Hot tub removal in Garland, Plano, Rowlett, Allen, and the rest of North Dallas is almost never “tilt and roll.” It is a path: side yard width, a fence, a deck, a pad, and whether the shell has to be cut to leave. Jolly Goat Junk quotes that from photos — the tub, the gate, the approach — then confirms on site before we start cutting or lifting.
This is not the $125–$175 sofa minimum. Weight, disassembly, and the carry are why. Some already-cut shells with a wide gate land closer to a heavy single-item or a quarter load on our fourteen-yard usable trailer. Many do not. We would rather send an honest range than win the call with a living-room price and a backyard surprise. The volume card still sits underneath ($275 / $450 / $625 / $770 as the bed fills), plus access for the work it actually takes.
Drain it before we arrive if you can. A tub full of water is a different object. Chemicals should not be in the load; leftover liquids belong in a proper drop, not on a household trailer. If the equipment pack is still attached, photos of that side help. Covers and steps usually ride. The concrete pad stays unless you have a different crew for demo — we are not a 40-yard excavation outfit.
Lake-lot yards in Rowlett and Rockwall, HOA fences in Murphy and Sachse, older Garland side yards with a dog run and a gate that opens the wrong way — those are the real maps. Send a photo standing at the street looking at the side path, and one of the tub on the pad. If a fence panel has to come off, say whether you are willing. We do not disassemble a good fence on a guess.
Cutting a shell is common. It is noisy for a short window and it is how a tub that will not fit a 36-inch gate becomes several pieces that will. If you do not want it cut — sentimental, or a buyer wants it whole — tell us. Whole-tub moves need a path that actually exists. Many North Dallas yards do not have one. Curiosity here is the tape measure, not the brochure.
Inside fifteen miles of our Garland yard, mileage is included. Allen, Frisco, and far McKinney pins we check. A hot tub still gets a yes at those pins if the job is our size; extra miles show up as extra miles. We do not cross the lake for free, and we do not hide the map.
What we will not do: in-ground pools, structural deck demolition beyond what is needed to free a sitting spa we already quoted, or a commercial club unit that wants a crane. Light leftover around the tub — old furniture, a rotten gazebo panel — can often join the same trailer if we know from the photos. Wet paint and fuels still cannot.
City bulk pickup will not come into the backyard and cut a spa. A dumpster rental still leaves you with the lifting and the HOA letter. Our job is the whole awkward sequence in one planned window: confirm the number, make it movable, load the trailer, leave the pad. Same-week is typical. Same-day is rare for this one because the tool kit and the crew size follow the photos.
We do not invent reviews about backyard transformations. A good hot tub job looks like an empty pad, a fence still standing, and a number that matched what we said before the first cut. If we are the wrong company — crane, in-ground, a deck that is the real project — we will say so.
Electrical disconnect is your electrician or a competent homeowner, not a surprise we invent with snips. If the tub is still wired, say so. We haul shells. We do not open a panel to make a Saturday more interesting. Same with gas fire features that are actually plumbed — flag them in the photos.
Text pictures of the tub and the gate. Include a person or a door for scale if you can. We will tell you whether this looks like a cut-and-haul we want, or a pass. Then we confirm in the yard, because backyards change between listing photos and the day of.
What we take
- Residential hot tub shells, often cut to move
- Covers, steps, and the equipment that comes off with it
- The pad leftover that is not a concrete demo
- Nearby patio furniture on the same run if it fits
What we don't
- In-ground pool demolition
- Wet chemicals, fuels, and the spa’s remaining liquids dumped wrong
- Concrete pad tear-out as a construction trade
- A 40-yard commercial spa install reverse-engineered as junk
FAQ
Do you always cut the hot tub?
Often, because the gate is narrower than the shell. If you have a true wide path and want it whole, send photos of that path.
Is it the $125 minimum?
Almost never. Weight and access make this a specialty quote from photos, then a confirm on site.
Will you take the concrete pad?
No. The shell and the gear, yes. Pad tear-out is a different trade.
Should I drain it first?
Please, if you can. A tub full of water is not a junk-removal object yet.
Can you get through an HOA side yard in Plano or Murphy?
If the gate and the path exist, yes. Photos of the side yard decide. We do not remove a good fence on a guess.
