Why Choose Us for Hot Tub Removal in Ithaca, NY
We’re not here to sell you something you don’t need. We’re here to get that hot tub out of your way quickly, safely, and without the stress. Here’s what makes us the go-to crew in Ithaca:
Same-Day Service
Got an old hot tub taking up space right now? If you need it gone today, give us a call. If we can fit it in, we will.
Upfront, All-In Pricing
No surprises. Our price includes all the lifting, cutting, hauling, and dump fees. You’ll know the cost before we touch a thing.
Family-Owned and Local
We’ve removed hundreds of hot tubs since we started in 2019. Most days it’s a two-man crew, you’ll likely meet the owner himself. We take pride in doing the job right.
Discounts That Matter
We offer 10% off to seniors, military, first responders, and nurses. (Before starting this business, James spent 14 years as a nurse so we mean it.)
Eco-Friendly Hot Tub Removal That Does It Right
We Don’t Just Trash It All
When we remove a hot tub, we don’t just load it up and dump the whole thing. We break it down, sort the parts, and see what can be reused or recycled. That extra effort goes a long way.
Parts That Still Have Value Get Reused
If the hot tub has pieces that can be salvaged, like working pumps, panels, or covers, we set them aside and donate what we can to places like Ithaca ReUse, Goodwill, Salvation Army, or Thrifty Shopper. It keeps useful stuff in the community and out of the dump.
Recycling the Rest, the Right Way
We haul foam, metal, and plastics to licensed sites like Tompkins County Recycling or Casella in Newfield or Elmira. We also pull out anything recyclable, no shortcuts.
Less Waste in the Ground
The more we can recycle and donate, the less ends up in the landfill. And that matters to you, to us, and to Ithaca.
Did you know there are an estimated 5.8 million hot tubs in use across the U.S., about 5% of households? That means plenty of them are aging out and needing removal, just like yours.
Cast Iron, Tight Space, No Problem
We got a call about an old cast iron tub stuck in a tight spot. It weighed a few hundred pounds and wasn’t going to move without some serious effort.
We showed up, worked it loose, and hauled it out without a scratch to the home. The customer called us “courteous, professional, and friendly” and said they’d “definitely use [us] again.”
That’s how we handle the tough ones, no stress, just results.
Our Hot Tub Removal Pricing in Ithaca
Hot tub removal pricing depends on a few things like the size of the unit, where it’s located, and how tricky it is to move.
Our pricing includes:
Labor
Tear-down or cutting (if needed)
Loading and hauling
Disposal and recycling fees
Tax
No surprises, no hidden charges. We give you a free quote upfront, and that’s what you pay.
Want a fast ballpark? Text us a photo of your hot tub at (607) 965-1222 and we’ll give you an idea right away.
Keep in mind: the average lifespan of a hot tub is just 7.5 years. After that, many owners choose to remove or replace theirs so if yours is past its prime, you’re not alone.
Where We Remove Hot Tubs in Ithaca
You’d be surprised where old hot tubs end up, and we’ve removed them from just about everywhere.
We’ve hauled hot tubs off:
Backyard patios
Upstairs decks
Sunrooms and additions
Beside vacation rentals
Rental properties around Cornell and Ithaca College
Some were out in the open. Others were wedged in tight spots or half-sunk into a deck. No matter where it is, we figure it out and get it gone.
From Collegetown to Trumansburg Road, we’ve been all over Ithaca helping homeowners, landlords, and property managers reclaim their space.
And with the North American hot tub market valued at $572.6 million in 2024 and projected to grow steadily, removals like these will only keep increasing as older models get replaced.
