Recent Project

Recent Bed Removal Project in Lake County: Deerfield Estate Downsizing

In March 2024, Cortes Junk Removal removed a queen-size bed, box spring, and wooden frame from a 2,400 sq ft home in Deerfield, Illinois. The homeowner was downsizing and moving to a smaller condo in nearby Wilmette, and the bed did not fit the new master bedroom layout. Our team arrived on a Tuesday morning, safely navigated the bed down a narrow staircase, disassembled the wooden frame, and completed full removal and cleanup within 3 hours. The mattress was donated to a local charity serving Lake County families in need.

How much does bed removal cost in Lake County?

Standard single-bed removal typically costs $150-$250; queen beds run $200-$300; king beds and multiple items cost $300-$400+. Final price depends on bed size, frame type, accessibility, and whether items go to donation or disposal. We provide exact quotes before starting work.

How quickly can you remove my bed?

Do you disassemble bed frames before removing them?

Yes-we disassemble wooden and metal frames, headboards, and footboards to fit them safely through doorways and down stairs. This is especially important in older homes throughout areas like Glencoe and Evanston where doorways are narrower.

What happens to my old bed after you pick it up?

If the bed is clean and in good condition, we donate it to local Lake County charities serving communities like North Chicago and Winthrop Harbor. Damaged or unsalvageable beds go to licensed disposal or recycling facilities compliant with Illinois environmental regulations.

Do you offer any warranty or guarantees on bed removal?

We guarantee no damage to your home, walls, or floors during removal. If damage occurs due to our crew's negligence, we repair it at no cost. All removal work is completed within the timeframe we agree to beforehand.

Do I need a permit for bed removal from my Lake County home?

No-residential bed removal does not require permits in Lake County, Illinois. Commercial or large-scale cleanouts may need permits depending on your municipality (Libertyville, Waukegan, or others), but we handle all permit coordination if needed.
