West Seattle Oven and Stove Hauling
Homeowner’s Issue
Old ovens and stoves sit heavy in West Seattle homes—often in narrow kitchens, on steep driveways, or up stairs in the Admiral and Alki areas. The neighborhood’s compact lots and older construction mean appliances are frequently tucked into tight corridors, basements, or garages with limited access. Add our high rainfall, moss on alleyways, and sloped yards and you’ve got slippery conditions that make DIY moves risky and slow.
Seattle soil in the area tends to be compacted clay with poor drainage in low spots, which can make loading and carrying appliances messy after a storm. HOA rules in some condo clusters near the Junction or along California Ave can restrict curb-side drop-offs and expect clean, quick work. Bulky-item city pickup exists but often has long wait times and strict prep rules—so a local crew that handles disconnects, safe carry routes, and sustainable disposal is the practical choice. We focus on minimizing damage to stairs, floors, and landscaping while securing recycling or donation routes to keep metal and usable parts out of the landfill.
Our Quality Service
We remove ovens and stoves safely and sustainably. Our crew handles gas and electrical disconnection coordination (we work with licensed trades when required), protected carrying with appliance dollies, straps, and corner guards, and stair/landscape-safe routing. We use tarps and boards to protect floors and steps and bring load-rated straps for tight moves.
Typical timeline: same-week estimates, next-available-day pickups for straightforward jobs, or scheduled slots within 3–7 days for tricky access. We prioritize recycled or donated outcomes first, then metal salvage. No herbicides or chemical treatments are used—this is hauling and sustainable disposal only.
Benefits: reduced injury risk, preserved property finishes, better curb appeal, compliance with local pickup/HOA norms, and documented environmentally responsible disposal.

Before & After / Expectations
Expect noise, some short-term mess, and physical activity on site. We always protect floors and stair treads with boards and drop cloths but heavy items can scratch without proper protection—clear access beforehand reduces risk and time. If appliances contain food or grease, a basic wipe down before we arrive makes disposal cleaner and faster.
Timeline: simple straight-outs usually done in under an hour; stair carries or hazardous disconnects may take 1–3 hours. Debris handling: usable items offered for donation first, recyclable metals separated, and non-recyclables taken to licensed disposal. We can haul to your preferred facility if requested.
Care tips for West Seattle:
- Schedule removals in drier windows (late spring–early fall) to avoid mossy, slippery stairs.
- If a replacement appliance is arriving, keep the delivery path clear and protected.
- After removal, let the area dry and brush off moss in steps to reduce slip risk.
FAQs (3–5)
Q: Do you disconnect gas or electric?
A: We coordinate or verify disconnects. For gas we generally require a licensed technician; we handle the appliance removal once utilities are safely off.

A: Yes—if the unit is functional and a local charity accepts it. We prioritize donation and recycling over landfill disposal.
Q: How do you handle tight stairways?
A: We use appliance dollies, straps, corner guards, and protective boards. Extra labor or time may be required for multi-flight carries.
Q: Are there additional fees?
A: Possible fees include bulky-haul charges for very heavy or oversized units, long carries, or facility dump fees; these are quoted up front.
Q: Can you schedule quickly?
