Read what each price assumes. Just Haul It’s $300–$500 expects the customer to drain and disconnect the tub, Grizzly Junk Pros’ $359–$809 covers only the hauling half of the job, and Junk Same Day’s includes disconnecting and taking it apart.
How does size change the price?
Price by seats or by the load it makes once cut up. G.I. Junk Removal charges $400 for a 2–3-person tub, $550 for 4, $699 for 5 and $775 for 6 or more. A large tub cut into sections fills most of a trailer, so its price lands near a full load.
Measure it and count the seats when you quote, and ask whether the steps, cover and cover lifter go too.
What makes a hot tub job harder?
Access, decks and power. A tub on a raised deck, behind a fence with a narrow gate or set into the ground takes longer to cut out and carry. Oak City Hauling in Raleigh adds a disconnect charge to its $399–$549, and Action’s $595 is for easy access only.
Agree who drains the tub and who disconnects the power before the day. If the customer or their electrician does it, say so on the quote; if you do, price it.
What should a hot tub removal quote say?
The size, where it sits, who drains and disconnects it, whether the steps and cover go, and what is left behind: the pad, the wiring stub, the deck boards you had to lift.
Close with the price for the whole job and one line for anything you may find, such as rot under the tub or a frame bolted to the deck, priced before you start on it.

Frequently asked questions

Sometimes, with a clear path and enough hands, but several companies here cut it up on site: Just Haul It, Junk Same Day and Action Junk Hauling all price for taking it apart.
