Thanks, Serge, for the quick, professional, and reasonably priced service. Will use you again - highly recommend!
Overview
The tenant moved to a smaller suite and took the laptops. What stayed: forty workstations screwed to the floor, a reception desk built in place, the server-room racks, the lobby sign and a ceiling full of dead data cable. The lease says broom-clean, and the landlord is holding the deposit until it is.
That is office decommissioning, and it is what we do for property managers and commercial landlords from a single Midtown suite to a full floor downtown. With Sacramento office vacancy around 18.7%, the space has to be ready for the next showing, not the next quarter. Projects run $3,000 to $15,000+; a few desks is a normal volume quote.

What Is Office Decommissioning, and How Is It Different from a Cleanout?
An office cleanout removes loose things: chairs, boxes of files, the break-room fridge. Office decommissioning reverses everything a tenant installed over a 5, 10 or 15 year lease:
- Cubicle and workstation systems (Herman Miller, Steelcase, Haworth and similar), unbolted and broken down panel by panel
- IT debris: empty server racks, cable trays, leftover equipment
- Telecom and data wiring left in ceilings and walls
- Signage, interior and exterior, from the suite number to the sign out front
- Security hardware: card readers, cameras, alarm panels
- Break-room fixtures: cabinetry, countertops, appliances
- Reception desks and built-in millwork
We handle furniture, fixtures and equipment. We do not demolish walls, ceilings or flooring, and we do not haul mixed demolition debris; see construction debris: what we take. Wiring removal stops at the dead cable; a licensed electrician handles anything live.
How Our Office Decommissioning Process Works
Five steps. The first one is a walkthrough, because nobody can price a floor of cubicles from a photo.
- 01
On-Site Assessment & Custom Quote
We walk the space with you, whether it is a 2,000-square-foot suite in Rancho Cordova or a 30,000-square-foot floor in Natomas, and send a written project quote within 24 hours.
- 02
Scheduling Around Your Timeline
Lease deadlines do not move, so we work around the building: evenings, weekends, and the freight-elevator window the property manager gives us.
- 03
Systematic Teardown & Removal
Workstations come apart section by section, racks are unbolted, signage comes off the wall with the anchors. HVAC, electrical and plumbing stay untouched.
- 04
Responsible Disposal, Donation & Recycling
Usable cubicles and furniture go to local nonprofits when they can take them, and steel frames and racks go to a scrap recycler. We do not issue diversion reports.
- 05
Broom-Clean Handoff
Broom-clean and ready for buildout or listing, with a final walkthrough with you or the landlord and photos for the file.
What We Remove During Office Decommissioning
What comes out during a typical Sacramento office teardown:
- Modular cubicle systems and panel-based workstations
- Executive desks, conference tables, and task chairs
- Filing cabinets, bookshelves, and storage systems
- Modular furniture-system panels and dividers
- Cubicle panels, connectors and work surfaces
- Rolled carpet and carpet tiles that have already been pulled up
- Empty server racks and a few pieces of network equipment
- Telecom wiring, data cables, and cable management trays
- Security cameras, card access systems, and alarm panels
- Lobby signage, suite numbers, and branded wall graphics
- Break-room cabinetry, countertops, and appliances
- Reception desks and custom built-in millwork
- Whiteboards, bulletin boards, and mounted monitors
- Window treatments, blinds, and curtain hardware
- Warehouse racking and storage shelving
If an item is not on the list, point to it during the walkthrough. If two people can carry it or we can take it apart, it is in scope.
What Businesses and Property Managers Say After the Teardown
A vacant suite costs its owner every day. These are from clients who called us with a deadline, unedited from our Google and Yelp reviews.
“I contacted TCJ when our business moved offices and we needed some old furniture removed. They gave me a competitive price and came out a few hours after I contacted them. I really liked how quickly they responded.”
Veronica N., Yelp“Serge was awesome, kept me up to date on his arrival time, worked nonstop upon arrival, and tenaciously disassembled the monstrous shelving units that had been welded in place 30 years and 3 owners ago!”
Mary W., Yelp“After sorting through dozens of competitors with similar ratings, I’m so glad I chose Serge at TCJ Hauling. As a small business owner myself, I appreciated the professionalism and care.”
Dee Dee Fasquel, GoogleWe carry commercial liability insurance, quote the project as one number rather than by the hour, and run furniture, signage and carpet haul-away as one crew. Managers with several buildings can put us on a partnership schedule with one point of contact.

A portfolio with suites in three cities can run on one project timeline, one crew and one invoice.
Office Decommissioning Pricing
Decommissioning is quoted as a project, not by the truck. What moves the number:
| Job | What it usually involves | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial furniture removal | Desks, chairs, filing cabinets, loose items | By volume, minimum $99 to $150 |
| Office cleanout | Everything loose in a suite, broom-clean | By volume, up to $850 to $1,000 per full truck |
| Full decommissioning | Workstations, millwork, racks, data cabling, signage | $3,000 to $15,000+ |
Within that range: square footage, how dense the build-out is (a law firm with heavy millwork costs more than an open-plan office), floor level and freight-elevator access, and timeline, because an expedited project may carry a premium. Hazardous materials such as certain adhesives and older ceiling tiles need a licensed specialist, not us.

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 long does an office decommissioning project take?
Two to five days for most projects. A 3,000-square-foot suite can be done in a day; a 20,000-square-foot floor can take a week. You get the timeline with the quote.
What’s the difference between office decommissioning and an office cleanout?
An office cleanout removes loose items: furniture, supplies, general junk. Decommissioning also reverses what the tenant installed: cubicle systems, built-ins, signage, racks and dead data cabling. Walls, ceilings and flooring belong to a contractor.
Do you handle e-waste and electronics disposal?
In small amounts. A few monitors, computers or printers ride along with the furniture and go to an e-waste recycler. A full server room or a fleet of machines needs a certified IT disposal company, and we will say so.
Can you work after hours or on weekends?
Yes. Most occupied-building work happens in the evening or on weekends. Tell us the building’s rules, dock hours and elevator window during the walkthrough.
Do you work with property management companies on an ongoing basis?
Yes. Property managers with several buildings get a partnership program: volume pricing, priority scheduling and one person to call for every property.
