Recent Project

Recent Outdoor Furniture Removal Project in Lake County

In summer 2024, we removed a complete outdoor furniture set from a 4,200 square-foot property in Long Grove after the homeowner's patio redesign. The job included 8 wrought-iron dining chairs, a large glass-top aluminum table, 6 loungers with mildewed Sunbrella cushions, a broken market umbrella, and side tables scattered across the deck. Our crew completed the full removal, sweep, and hauling in 2.5 hours on a Friday afternoon, with all metal pieces recycled at our Wauconda facility partner and cushions disposed of according to IEPA standards.

Outdoor furniture removal FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does outdoor furniture removal cost in Lake County?

Pricing depends on volume, material, and distance to our disposal partner. A single patio set (4-6 chairs, table, cushions) typically costs $200-350. A large backyard clearout with multiple furniture pieces, umbrellas, and cushions runs $400-650. Call (847)513-4616 for a free estimate based on your specific items.

How quickly can you remove my outdoor furniture?

We offer 2-5 business day scheduling in Lake County communities. In busy seasons (spring/summer), schedule 1-2 weeks ahead. Once booked, we confirm 24 hours before with a 2-3 hour service window. Removal itself takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on quantity.

What happens to my outdoor furniture after you pick it up?

Metal frames and aluminum pieces go to certified recycling facilities. Wood pieces are assessed for reuse or chipped for mulch. Foam cushions and upholstery are disposed of according to Illinois EPA standards at licensed facilities in Lake County. Nothing goes to a landfill if recyclable.

Do you clean up after removal-sweep the patio or deck?

Yes. After hauling all furniture, we sweep your patio, deck, or yard area, remove any small debris left behind, and do a final walkthrough to confirm nothing was missed. Your outdoor space is clean and ready for new furniture or redesign.

Is Cortes Junk Removal insured if something goes wrong?

Yes. We carry full commercial general liability insurance covering property damage and injury. Every crew member is background-checked and insured. You have zero liability for accidents during removal at your Lake County home.

Do you need permits or permission from HOAs for outdoor furniture removal?

No. Removing furniture from your own property requires no City of Lake Forest, Village of Barrington, or HOA permits. We handle the disposal logistics. If you live in an HOA community like Riverwoods or Tower Lakes, you own the right to remove items from your lot.
