Our Process

Nobody hires a hot tub removal crew twice, so most people calling us have no idea what the day is supposed to look like. Fair enough.

Here's the whole thing, start to finish, so there are no surprises when a truck pulls up in front of your house.

1. The quote, usually by text

Send three photos and one measurement. The tub from a few steps back, the gate or path we'd use, where a truck could park, and the width of the narrowest opening on that route.

That's enough to quote most jobs without anyone driving out to look at it. If your setup is unusual, a sunken spa, a swim spa, a second-story deck, we'll ask a couple more questions or come take a look.

The number we give you covers labor, demo if it's needed, loading, hauling, dump fees, and cleanup.

2. Scheduling

We give you a window rather than a to-the-minute time, because the job before yours can run long and we'd rather be honest than early-and-lying. You get a call when we're on the way.

Between the drive and the work, most Boise, Meridian, and Eagle jobs are a half-day commitment on our end. Yours is usually a lot shorter than that.

3. Walkthrough when we arrive

First thing we do is look at the actual tub and the actual path, together with you. We confirm the plan, point out anything the photos didn't show, and make sure the price still stands.

If something is genuinely different from what you described, you hear about it right then, before a single tool comes off the truck. Not at the end.

This is also when you tell us about sprinkler lines, landscape lighting wire, a dog fence, or the flower bed that matters to your spouse.

4. Water and power

We check the water level. If it's drained, great, we move on. If not, we pump it and direct the discharge somewhere sensible on your property.

Then power. Breaker off at the panel, disconnect off if there's a box outside, and we verify the circuit is dead with a meter before anything gets cut or unhooked. The whip comes loose at the spa pack and the tub is officially just an object at that point.

5. Whole or in pieces

Now we make the call we've been planning for. If the tub can come out intact, we walk it up on edge, get straps and a dolly under it, and move it out through the gate. Two or three people, slow and steady.

If it can't, we cut. Cabinet panels come off first, then the pump and heater assembly comes out as a unit, then reciprocating saws with demo blades section the shell into four to six pieces we can carry.

Cutting foam throws white debris everywhere, so we tarp underneath before the blades start.

6. Protecting the path

Heavy things and soft lawns don't mix, especially in spring when Treasure Valley yards hold water. We'll lay plywood or mats over the route when the ground is soft, and we carry rather than drag.

Gates come off hinges if we need the extra inch. They go back on before we leave.

7. Loading and hauling

Everything goes on the truck: shell, foam, frame, cabinet, cover, steps, cover lifter. Metal gets separated out for recycling instead of going in the ground.

The rest heads to the Ada County Landfill on Seaman's Gulch Road, or the Canyon County facility if we're out in Nampa or Caldwell. Loads get tarped for the drive.

8. Cleanup and the last look

We rake, sweep, and run a magnet over the work area. Spa cabinets shed a surprising number of small screws and those eventually find a bare foot or a mower blade.

Then we walk it with you. If we agreed to break out the concrete pad, that's done too and the ground is rough graded so you can seed, sod, or lay gravel.

Payment happens at the end, once you've seen the finished spot. Not before we start.

Ready when you are

Most of this takes one to three hours on site. The prep you do ahead of time, mainly draining it, is what decides whether it's closer to one or closer to three.

Call or text (208) 943-5231 with a few photos and we'll get you on the schedule.
