Hot Tub Removal Portland, We'll Haul Away Your Old Spa Today
You know that moment when you finally decide the hot tub has to go?
Maybe it’s been sitting there for a couple years now, not quite working right. Or the cover’s seen better days and you’re tired of looking at it every time you step into the backyard. I get it. I’ve been hauling away hot tubs all over Portland for longer than I care to admit, and honestly, I’ve heard every story in the book.
Just last month, I met a homeowner over in the Sellwood neighborhood who bought her house three years ago. The previous owner left behind this massive jacuzzi that hadn’t worked since 2019. She’d been avoiding it, throwing a tarp over it, hoping maybe she’d fix it someday. But someday never really comes, does it? By the time she called us, that thing had become a glorified planter full of leaves and rainwater. Sound familiar?
Here’s the thing about hot tub removal in Portland. These units are heavy. Like, really heavy. We’re talking 800 to 1,000 pounds when they’re empty, and if there’s still water in there? Forget about it. You can’t just drag one of these to the curb and hope the garbage truck takes it. And let me tell you, trying to move one yourself is a recipe for a bad back and possibly a ruined fence or gate.
That’s where we come in. Metro Junk Solutions has been doing this work around Portland since 1995. We’re a family owned business, which means when you call, you’re not getting some call center three states away. You’re getting people who know the difference between getting a hot tub out of a Southeast Portland bungalow versus a West Hills property with stairs involved. And believe me, there’s a difference.
We handle everything. The dismantling, the hauling, the disposal. You don’t lift a finger. Whether your spa is on a deck, buried in your yard, or wedged into some impossible corner of your patio, we’ve seen it and we’ve moved it. We also offer other junk removal services if you’ve got more than just a hot tub taking up space.
Our pricing is straightforward. No hidden fees, no surprises. We’ll give you a fair quote and stick to it. And because we’re local, we can usually get to you pretty quickly. Sometimes same day if you catch us early enough.
So if you’re finally ready to reclaim that corner of your yard and stop explaining to guests why there’s a non functioning hot tub taking up half your patio, give us a call. We’ve been doing this for 30 years, and we’re pretty good at it by now.
How Our Hot Tub Removal Process Works
Look, we’ve streamlined this over the years because we’ve done it so many times. First thing we do is come out and take a look at your situation. Every property is different. Some hot tubs are sitting on a ground level patio with easy access. Others? Not so much. We’ve dealt with tubs on second story decks, units that need to come through a narrow side gate, and one memorable job in the Pearl District where we had to navigate through a condo building.
Once we see what we’re working with, we give you a price right there. If you’re good with it, we can often start the same day. We’ll drain any remaining water if needed, then we start the dismantling process. Most hot tubs need to be cut into manageable pieces to move them safely. We bring all the tools and equipment. You just need to show us where it is and then get out of the way while we work.
The whole thing usually takes a few hours, depending on the size and location. When we’re done, it’s like the hot tub was never there. We haul everything away in our trucks and make sure it gets disposed of properly. Portland has pretty specific rules about that stuff, and we follow them.
What Makes Portland Hot Tub Removal Tricky
Here’s something people don’t always think about. Portland weather means a lot of these hot tubs have been sitting outside for years getting rained on. The wood skirting is often rotted. The covers are waterlogged and falling apart. Sometimes there’s electrical work that needs to be disconnected first, and we can point you toward someone who can handle that if needed.
Also, Portland properties tend to have mature landscaping. Big trees, established gardens, narrow pathways. We’re careful about not tearing up your yard or damaging your fence when we’re hauling a 400 pound piece of fiberglass through your side gate. That takes experience, and honestly, it takes giving a damn about doing the job right.
What We Remove
We handle all types. Standard acrylic spas, wooden hot tubs, those old fiberglass units from the 80s that weigh a ton. Swim spas too, though those are a bigger job. Inflatable hot tubs are the easiest, obviously, but most people don’t need help with those. We’re talking about the permanent installations that have become permanent problems.
If your hot tub is still partially functional and in decent shape, we can sometimes donate it or find it a second home. But let’s be real, most of the ones we pick up are well past their prime. They get recycled where possible, and the rest gets disposed of according to county regulations.
Why Portland Trusts Us With Their Hot Tub Removal
Three Decades of Local Experience
We started doing this work in 1995, back when Portland looked pretty different than it does now. Over 30 years, we’ve hauled hot tubs out of just about every neighborhood you can name. Laurelhurst, Hawthorne, Alberta, you name it. We know these streets. We know which areas have narrow driveways and which properties have tricky access issues.
Being family owned means something around here. When you call, you’re likely talking to someone who’s been with the company for years, not some new hire reading from a script. We’ve built our reputation one job at a time, mostly through word of mouth and repeat customers who call us when they need other stuff hauled away too.
We Show Up When We Say We Will
This sounds basic, but you’d be surprised how many junk removal companies operate on what I call “flexible scheduling.” We give you a window and we stick to it. If we’re running late, we call. If we can come earlier, we ask first. It’s just basic respect for your time.
