Why Junk Doctors

Why Customers Choose Us

1

No Crane Needed

Most hot tub removals don't need heavy equipment. Once the tub is drained and power is unplugged, we cut the shell into sections with reciprocating saws and carry pieces out by hand. It's how we've removed hundreds of hot tubs across the Triangle — backyard decks in North Raleigh, enclosed patios in Cary, and tightly fenced yards in Myers Park and Dilworth in Charlotte. No crane rental required.

2

We Handle the Whole Job

Two things are on you before we arrive: drain the tub and unplug the power. After that — breakdown, removal, and disposal — one crew, one visit.

3

Same-Day or It's Free

Call before 3 PM and we'll be there today. If we can't make the window, your removal is free — up to one full truckload. No fine print.

FAQ

Questions Answered.

Hot tub removal typically runs $300–$600 for a standard above-ground residential unit. Larger swim spas, in-ground surrounds, or jobs with decking removal run higher. We assess on-site and give you a firm quote before anything starts. No estimate-over-the-phone that changes when we arrive.
We drain the unit, coordinate power disconnection, then cut the fiberglass shell into sections using reciprocating saws. Pieces come out by hand — no crane needed. Most residential hot tubs in Raleigh and the Triangle can be removed this way in 2–4 hours.
Yes — please drain the hot tub before we arrive. Most units have a bottom drain port; a garden hose handles most of the water and a wet vac clears the dregs. If the tub sits in a low spot and won't drain by gravity, let us know when you book and we'll figure out the approach together.
The power supply needs to be unplugged before we arrive. Pull the dedicated circuit breaker and leave it off. If you're not comfortable doing that yourself, have a licensed electrician disconnect at the panel. We confirm power is off before we start any work around the unit.
Most residential hot tub removals take 2–4 hours from arrival to cleanup. Larger units, in-ground installations, or jobs with significant deck removal may take longer. We give you a time estimate when we assess on-site.
Yes. If decking or an enclosure came with the hot tub installation, we haul it as part of the same job. Let us know when booking so we plan the right crew size.
Fiberglass shell sections go to specialty fiberglass disposal processors — [standard landfills in NC don't accept them under solid waste regulations](https://www.deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/waste-management/solid-waste). Metal frames and copper wiring go to certified scrap recyclers. Foam insulation and cabinet materials go to licensed disposal facilities. We track where the material ends up, and nothing gets illegally dumped.
