Portland’s Trusted Appliance Removal Contractors
You know that feeling when your fridge finally dies on a Saturday morning? I got a call last month from a woman in the Hawthorne District whose 20 year old Kenmore picked the worst possible time to quit. She had groceries melting on the counter and a new fridge arriving Monday. The thing is, she couldn’t get the old one out of her kitchen by herself. That’s where we come in.
I’m speaking from experience here because we’ve been doing this work around Portland for three decades now. My family started Metro Junk Solutions back in 1995, and honestly, appliance removal wasn’t even our main focus at first. But we kept getting calls. People needed help getting heavy, awkward appliances out of tight spaces without wrecking their walls or floors.
Here’s what most folks don’t realize until they’re standing in front of a 300 pound refrigerator. You can’t just drag these things to the curb. The city won’t take them, and even if you have a truck, getting a washer down basement stairs isn’t exactly a one person job. We handle all of that. From Southeast Portland to West Linn, we’ve probably removed every type of appliance you can imagine.
The best part? We actually answer our phones. No waiting three weeks for a callback. If you need junk removal service in Portland, we can usually get to you within a day or two. Sometimes even the same day if you catch us early enough. Fair pricing, no surprises, and we clean up after ourselves. That’s just how we do things around here.
What Appliances We Remove
Pretty much anything that plugs in or used to plug in. Refrigerators are our most common calls, but we take washers, dryers, stoves, ovens, dishwashers, freezers, water heaters, and those massive old air conditioning units that weigh a ton. Got an ancient microwave that’s been sitting in your garage since 2003? We’ll take that too.
The thing people always ask is whether we take broken appliances. Yes, absolutely. In fact, most of what we haul away doesn’t work anymore. That’s usually why you’re calling us. We’re not picky. Rusty, dented, missing parts, full of mystery smells from years of use. We’ve seen it all, and we’ll load it up regardless of condition.
We also handle the weird stuff. Like built in appliances that need to be disconnected first. Or that second fridge in the basement that somehow got moved down there in pieces and definitely isn’t coming back up the same way. If you’re remodeling and need multiple appliances cleared out at once, that works too. We can take a whole kitchen’s worth in one trip.
How Our Pickup Process Works
Most companies make this complicated. We don’t. You call us or fill out the form on our website, and we give you a straightforward price quote. No hidden fees for stairs or “difficult access.” If we quote you a price, that’s what you pay.
We schedule a time that works for you. Could be morning, afternoon, or sometimes evening if that’s the only window you have. Portland traffic being what it is, we give you a heads up call about 30 minutes before we arrive. Then our crew shows up, usually two guys, and we handle everything. You don’t need to move anything or prep the appliance. Just show us what needs to go.
The actual removal takes maybe 15 to 30 minutes depending on where the appliance is located. Tight basement stairs take longer than a garage fridge, obviously. We protect your floors and doorways, disconnect everything if needed, and haul it away. You’ll never even know we were there except for the extra space where that old appliance used to sit.
Why Portland Trusts Us With Their Appliance Removal
Three Decades of Local Experience
We’ve been in Portland since before everyone discovered how great it is here. Started this business in 1995 when my dad realized people needed help with stuff they couldn’t handle themselves. Appliance removal became a bigger part of what we do because frankly, these things keep getting heavier and more complicated.
Over the years, we’ve worked in pretty much every Portland neighborhood you can name. From the tight streets in Northwest to sprawling properties out in Clackamas County. Each area has its own challenges. Those beautiful old craftsman homes in Laurelhurst? Gorgeous, but those basement stairs are no joke when you’re carrying a washer. The newer builds in Happy Valley usually have easier access, but we’ve learned to adapt to whatever we encounter.
Family Owned and Locally Operated
This isn’t some national chain with a local phone number. We actually live here. My family’s been in the Portland metro area for generations. When you call us, you’re talking to people who know this city. We shop at the same Fred Meyer as you. We sit in the same traffic on I-5. We get it.
That matters because we’re not just trying to rush through jobs to hit some corporate quota. This is our reputation in our own community. Your neighbors might be our next customers, so we treat every single job like it matters. Because it does.
