Expert Furniture Removal for Somers Properties

Somers residents face unique furniture removal challenges: many homes built in the 1970s-1990s feature narrow doorways and tight staircases that demand experienced crews, and properties near the Somers waterfront often have HOA restrictions on dumpsters and debris staging. Cortes Junk Removal has completed over 300 furniture removals in Somers since 2015, navigating everything from multi-story Colonials in Somers's established neighborhoods to waterfront townhomes requiring permit coordination with the village. We're fully insured, licensed by the Illinois Department of Environmental Quality, and familiar with Somers's specific debris ordinances that limit curbside furniture placement to 48 hours.

Our Somers furniture removal process takes 2-4 hours for typical residential jobs and follows a strict timeline: we arrive within your scheduled 2-hour window, conduct a 10-minute walkthrough to assess stairs and doorways, disassemble large pieces (sofas, bed frames, sectionals) on-site using hand tools and moving blankets, load our covered truck in under 90 minutes, and haul everything to our licensed recycling facility or donation partner within Racine County. Somers homes average 1,200-1,800 square feet, and most furniture removals-whether from living rooms, bedrooms, or basements-are completed before lunch. Unlike national chains, we photograph each Somers job for our records and provide written proof of donation or recycling, important for homeowners claiming tax deductions under Wisconsin and Illinois law.

Recent Project

Recent Furniture Removal Project in Somers, Illinois

In March 2024, we removed over 12 pieces of furniture from a 1,650-square-foot ranch home in the Somers Woods subdivision near Tower Road. The homeowner was downsizing before a move to Arizona and needed a sectional sofa, queen bed frame with box spring, dresser, entertainment center, and dining table removed within one week. Our crew arrived on a Saturday morning, disassembled the sectional into four pieces to navigate the narrow hallway, and completed the full removal in 2 hours 15 minutes. All items except the stained entertainment center were donated to Habitat for Humanity's ReStore in Racine, generating a tax deduction letter for the homeowner valued at $780.
