Expert Appliance Removal Service for Detroit Homes & Businesses

Appliance removal in Detroit requires local expertise. Our neighborhoods-from Palmer Woods to Rosedale Park-feature vintage homes with challenging layouts, high HOA fees that penalize improper disposal, and strict permit requirements for bulk item pickup. We're licensed to remove all major appliances including refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers, dishwashers, and microwaves. Detroit's winter climate means frozen driveways and icy basements complicate removal work, so timing matters. We remove appliances responsibly: refrigerants are EPA-certified extracted, metals are recycled, and documentation is provided for insurance purposes.

Our appliance removal process starts with a free 15-minute phone estimate-no obligation. Once scheduled, our two-person crew arrives within 24-48 hours, disconnects all utilities safely (gas, electric, water), removes the appliance using furniture dollies and proper lifting equipment, and hauls it to our certified recycling facility in Van Buren Township. The entire process typically takes 30-45 minutes per appliance. Detroit properties built before 1980 often contain older refrigerators with R-12 coolant that must be EPA-certified recovered-we handle this at no extra charge. We'll remove furniture blocking access, protect your flooring with drop cloths, and leave your space clean.
