Furniture Removal in Sacramento

Furniture removal in Sacramento: same-day pickup of couches, dressers, tables and old furniture from $99. 255 five-star reviews. Book online and save $20.

Overview

The couch that fit through the door six years ago does not fit now. The dresser is solid oak and the stairs turn twice. The city will collect bulky items, but the next appointment is weeks out and the old sectional is in the living room today. That is the call we get most, and it is the one we are built for.

We come inside, carry the furniture out from wherever it sits, load it and leave the room swept. Most pickups happen the same day you call, and the price is settled before we lift anything. Small loads start at $99.

What We Take, Including the Pieces People Assume We Won't

Any household furniture, in any condition. Clean pieces, broken pieces, the recliner the dog claimed. Charities turn away stained or torn upholstery, and the curb is not an option in most of Sacramento, so the pieces nobody else wants are a normal day for us.

The jobs that surprise people: sleeper sofas with the steel bed frame still inside, armoires that were assembled in the bedroom and will never leave it whole, and the second-floor sectional that went up in pieces and now has to come down the same way. We take those apart on the spot rather than drag them through your door frame.

How a Furniture Pickup Goes

Four steps, and you only have to do the first one.

  1. 01

    Send a photo, get a price

    Text a photo of the piece to (916) 770-7619 or book online. A picture of the couch and the stairs is enough for us to price it, and we text the number back within the hour during business hours.

  2. 02

    We confirm the number at the door

    Before anything moves, we look at the piece and the path out and confirm the price. If it matches the quote, we start. If something is different from the photo, you hear about it before we touch it, not on the invoice.

  3. 03

    We carry it out from wherever it is

    Upstairs, basement, back bedroom, behind the other furniture. You do not need to clear a path or drag anything to the garage. If a piece will not fit the doorway, we take it apart on the spot.

  4. 04

    We sweep up and sort the load

    We sweep the spot where the furniture stood, then sort the load in the truck: clean pieces for a charity when we can, metal frames to the recycler, and the rest to the transfer station.

Where Your Furniture Actually Goes

A couch with clean cushions and a working frame has a second life, and we would rather drop it at a Sacramento charity than pay to bury it. The catch is that charities take only what they can resell: no stains, no tears, no pet damage, no missing hardware. That is why we say we donate when we can instead of promising it on every load.

What cannot be donated still gets sorted. Metal bed frames, recliner mechanisms and patio frames go to scrap. The rest goes to the transfer station. If you want to try donating first, our guide to where to donate furniture in Sacramento lists who takes what and who will come and get it.

What Furniture Pickups Look Like in Our Reviews

We could list reasons to choose us. Customers describe the actual jobs better than we would. These are from our Google and Yelp reviews, unedited.

“I called TCJ to take away a couch as I was having a new one delivered. They added me on to their schedule for same day pick up. Very efficient, in and out in 5 minutes.”

Reid Johnson, Google

“Not only was he on time and very pleasant, he managed to remove a large, very awkward couch BY HIMSELF. It was a sight to behold.”

A. B., Yelp

“Had several furniture pieces hauled away, large load. Serge handled all quickly and efficiently. … Reasonably priced, and stuck by his original estimate.”

RSOX, Google

“Many places had the soonest pickup 2 days out and super expensive. Just as I was about to give up, I found Serge. Great prices and same-day pickup!”

Julie F., Yelp

The pattern in 255 reviews is the same three things: we show up when we said, the price does not move once we quote it, and the lifting is ours. Read all of them before you book, including the few that are not five stars.

Furniture Pickup Across the Sacramento Area

One truck can reach any of these in under an hour, which is why same-day is realistic rather than a slogan:

Midtown walk-up, Natomas two-story, Folsom cul-de-sac or an apartment off Watt Avenue: the stairs and the parking are our problem, not yours. We also run out to Vacaville and the rest of the service area.

What Furniture Removal Costs

You pay for the share of the truck your furniture fills, not for the number of pieces or the hours. These are the same tiers as our full price guide, with furniture examples:

LoadTypical priceWhat that looks like
Minimum$99 to $150One chair, a nightstand or a small bookcase
Quarter truck$180 to $280A couch and a loveseat, or a dresser and a bed
Half truck$320 to $480A full living room or a whole bedroom set
Full truck$850 to $1,000Every piece of furniture in a house

Two things can nudge the number up: real weight (a solid oak armoire or a marble-top table) and access (a third floor with no elevator). We tell you on the phone, not at the door. There is no fuel surcharge, no dump fee added later and no tip expected. Book online and we take $20 off.

When You Do Not Need Us

Hiring a truck is the fastest way to get furniture out of a house. It is not always the cheapest, so here is the honest comparison.

  • Donate it. Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill, The Salvation Army, WEAVE and Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services take clean, working pieces, and some will pick up large items. Call first; each one decides what it accepts, and a refused couch is still on your porch. Our guide to every way to get rid of old furniture walks through it.
  • Use the city. City of Sacramento residents with city trash service get free appointment-based bulky pickups, a few items at a time, booked ahead and set at the curb on the day. Good for one couch if you can wait and carry it out yourself.
  • Haul it yourself. The Sacramento Recycling and Transfer Station, Kiefer Landfill and the North Area Recovery Station weigh your truck and charge by the ton. You need the truck, a second person and a free morning.
  • Call us when it has to be gone today, when it is upstairs, or when it is more than two people want to carry. That is also the right call for offices, rentals and pianos and other heavy pieces. Prices are in the pricing guide.

Serge was awesome to work with. I am very grateful I found his company. I contacted them on a Tuesday and by Wednesday the hot tub was gone. He was on time and worked hard. Left the area cleaned up and I’m so excited to have my backyard back!

Messaged TCJ Hauling in need of getting rid of some junk that was accumulating in the garage. Not only was the company able to come the same day but were also very punctual and realiable which above all things mean the most me. The service was fast and the vehicle used was modern and able to accommodate for all the items I needed to be removed. Very Prosfessional and accommodating will definitely call them again and tell my friends and family to do the same. Thank you TCJ Hauling!

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you pick up furniture?

Usually the same day. Text a photo to (916) 770-7619 in the morning and we can often be there that afternoon. Evenings and weekends are open too.

Do I need to move it to the curb or garage first?

No, and please do not try. We carry it out from the room it is in, including upstairs bedrooms, basements and tight hallways. You do not need to clear a path either.

Will you take a stained, broken or pet-damaged couch?

Yes. Charities will not, which is why those are most of the couches we pick up. Condition does not change the price; size does.

How much does it cost to remove one couch?

A standard couch is a minimum-load job, $99 to $150. Sectionals and sleeper sofas take more truck space, so they run a little more. We confirm the exact number before we start.

What happens to the furniture after you take it?

Clean pieces go to a Sacramento charity when we can, metal frames go to scrap, and the rest goes to the transfer station. We sort it in the truck, not at the curb.

Can you get furniture out of a third-floor apartment with no elevator?

Yes. Stairs are most of what we do. Mention the floor when you text so the quote is right the first time, and let the office know a truck will be in the lot for about an hour.

Send a Photo, Get a Price, Get Your Room Back

Ten seconds to text a photo, usually an hour to get a price, and most days the furniture is gone before dinner. If you book online, the price drops by $20.
